Premium Bandai has teased their next exciting Super Sentai Artisan release! Following up from pre-sold out DairenOh is it’s companion, the Super Sentai Artisan Won Tiger!

Though for now we only has a very small teaser image, this official confirmation means that in the near future we should be getting some proper release details and images. As with DairenOh we are likely to see a Won Tiger with several physical improvements, new premium paint apps to replace vintage labels, and some diecast parts as well.

We’ll update you as soon as more information becomes available for the Super Sentai Artisan Won Tiger release!

GOSEI GATTAI!

A few months ago, Bandai teased the release of the Super Sentai Artisan Dairen’Oh a pre order page  has now gone live and with that, we have a plethora of new photos along with release details.

Rather than being a remold of the Legacy Thunder Megazord as previously speculated by some, the Super Sentai Artisan Dairen’oh is, in fact, a modified version of the original DX toy with some added paint apps and die cast parts.

All of this will cost a hefty amount retailing about 23,760 yen but won’t see a release till March 2018. The Lai-Lai Jewels while shown appears to be part of some sort of campaign give away and not included with the actual set.

Shout! Factory has posted official details for the upcoming Gosei Sentai Dairanger DVD boxset!

The three Tribes of the Daos Empire — Shura, Dai and Gorma — were peaceful until the Gorma set out to conquer the planet, launching a magical war between the Gorma and Dai Tribes that lasted for 5,000 years. In the end, both civilizations were lost… until now. The evil Gorma have returned. Now, it’s up to Master Kaku to assemble a team of kids with high levels of chi to become the protectors of the Earth known as the Dairangers!

The 10-disc collection has a price of $53.97 and an estimated release date of November 10, 2015!

In a similar fashion to last years Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger news, the fine people at Shout! Factory have just dropped another bombshell on the tokusatsu fandom. When asked by a fan in the audience at tonight’s San Diego Comic Con 2015 panel, “Will we get a new tokusatsu title?” they were able to reply yes. And that title is Gosei Sentai Dairanger!

Fans in the west will undoubtedly recognize the footage from this show as it was utilized for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2 as well as the character Kiba Ranger who was adapted as the Mighty Morphin White Ranger. Still yet people may recall the “new powers” of Power Rangers Super Megaforce where the Dairanger suits were shown on American TV for the first time.

For now it’s safe to assume that this DVD set will follow the same formula as Shouts Zyuranger DVDs at a similar price point for  the entire series in one set.

The latest promo for Power Rangers Super Megaforce Episode 2 “Earth Fights Back” has a very surprising new element!

As explained by Gosei, the Legendary Powers can also unlock Ranger Forms that were never seen on Earth- specifically, the “DaiRanger” costumes that were passed over during “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” Season 2 and have never been used by Saban before now!

What other surprises might Super Megaforce have in store?? Tune in February 23 and find out!!

Since the suit footage from Gosei Sentai Dairanger wasn’t used at all in Power Rangers, people speculated that Saban wouldn’t be using the footage from Gokaiger where the Dairanger suits were used, but now it doesn’t look to be the case.

New footage shown during SDCC reveals that Saban will be keeping the Gokaiger suit footage. The new clip showed the Megaforce Rangers preparing to change into their Super Megaforce forms, and from there changing into the Dairangers.

It appears Saban will be keeping the footage, but how they’ll explain the appearance of a team that hasn’t appeared anywhere else in Power Rangers is still a mystery.
