Tamashii World Tour’s next stop is Taipei China, photos from the event have revealed a plethora of S.H.Figuarts, based on characters from the evil Shocker organization.

Gathered together in a rather impressive display, we have two varieties of Shocker Grunts: both in Red and Black along with a bone pattern version and a Gel Shocker variant. What’s more is that these appear to be utilizing new bodies! 

In addition to that, they are of course joined by the big bads themselves: Great Leader of Gel Shocker, and Ambassador Hell in his Garagaranda form.

Do note that for now none of these figures have been confirmed for release, as each figure only has a Display only tag next to their names. Stay tuned though, and we’ll provide more up to date info as it becomes available.

Super Hero Generations is  the latest entry in Bandai Namco’s Compati Hero series, a crossover  tactical RPG title involving Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Mobile Suit Gundam coming out for PS3 and PSVita. A new gameplay trailer just recently came out, revealing the game’s theme song: Jumpin’ to Space performed by Psychic Lover, an artist whom  in our fandom performed many Super Sentai theme songs including Dekaranger, Boukenger, Shinkenger, and most recently Kyoryuger.

Much like in SD Gundam G-Generations, you’ll be able to freely choose which stage you’ll want to play, and it seems that a majority of the characters will be voiced by their returning actor.

Super Hero Generations is due out October 23rd 2014. Planning on picking up this game? Join the disscussion and let us know in the thread!

The good people at The Tokusatsu Network have come across some very interesting news in the latest issue of Japan’s “CinemaToday” magazine.

Hiroshi Fujioka, the very first Kamen Rider (who performed a multitude of stuntwork AND sang his own theme song in addition to his regular workload) will be joining the cast of “Hesei VS Showa: Movie War.”

Though Fujioka has performed voice work for tokusatsu previously (the most recent example being 2011’s “Let’s Go Kamen Rider”), this will be the first time in 38 Years that his character, Takeshi Hongo, has appeared & transformed on screen.

Truly this is a sign of good things to come! “Hesei VS Showa” premieres March 29, 2014 so stay tuned until then for further details!

UPDATED: New images of Rider 1 have been captured from a TV broadcast in Japan. These come via Heroshock, their source currently unknown. The new images show Fujioka in yet another Henshin pose AND riding New Cyclone!
