Quite possibly the greatest release of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger’s Ninajman – or “Ninjor” from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers – is on it’s way! The Bandai Candy Blog has revealed the upcoming release of Ninjaman – part of their Shokugan Modeling Project or SMP line – via Premium Bandai! This is different from the Shodo line released earlier as it is taller with more functionality. Also, it’s a model kit you build, so there’s that little part too.
Check out over 30 official and design images in this story! The SMP Ninjaman can also interact with your previous SMP Kakuranger releases, as shown in the pictures.
Pre-orders for this item (and pricing) have not yet been revealed at the time of posting. Pre-orders begin December 20th Japan time.
The next Super Sentai team joining the Shodo SUPER toyline is Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!
All five members of the Ninja Sentai are recreated in superb detail, with a full arsenal of weapons and extra effects. For comparison, these Shodo SUPER figures are displayed alongside the previously released Super Minipla figures from the Kakuranger series.
The Shodo SUPER Ninja Sentai Kakuranger set is priced at 9350 Yen before shipping and handling. Release is tentatively scheduled for March 2023.

Via new pre-order listings over at Tokullectibles, we have our first look at full color official images of Super Minipla Muteki Shogun, Kakure Daishogun, & Tsubasamaru!
You may recall we’ve been following the development of these figures quite closely. The last time we checked on it, gray prototype images of Tsubasamaru had been released. However now we have initial pre-orders and official images for all 3 releases from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!
Tokullectibles is currently using placeholder prices for both listings starting at $1.00, while the pages aren’t live for ordering yet as well. We’ll update when Japanese pages with official pricing go live as well.
“Cho Ninja Gattai!”
By way of the Bandai Candy Toy Blog we have our very first look at another figure from the highly anticipated Super Minipla toyline from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!
Just last month we had our first preview of the upcoming Super Minipla Muteki Shogun with prototype images of Red Saruder. Today, the Candy Blog has released the first prototype image of Tsubasamaru! We don’t have much to go on based on this sole image, but we can see for certain that is shaping up to be another solid release. We’ll keep you up to date as more images and release info for Muteki Shogun, Kakure Daishogun, & Tsubasamaru are released!
Revealed via design scans only last week, the Bandai Candy blog is now teasing us with the first prototype images of the Super Minipla Muteki Shogun! Specifically, the component shown off in these images is Red Saruder.
Muteki Shogun, along with Kakure Daishogun & Tsubasamaruu, we’re all teased to be in planning stages only last week thanks to some newly released sketches from the Super Minipla Encyclopedia. With these first prototype images it looks like the project is moving forward!
A new Super Minipla Encyclopedia has just been released (images from Tendou Toys), and within it’s pages are a number of current and upcoming releases. Among these are also preliminary designs for other projects in the pipeline. So while not revealed physically yet, the most significant items of interest contained in the book are a trio of projects from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!
Following up from the soon to be released Liveman sets, Kakuranger makes a ton of sense given what the collector market is hoping for. And so far we have general design for Muteki Shogun, Kakure Daishogun, & Tsubasamaru! That’s quite the triple threat of new Super Minipla if this is indeed the next project the design team embarks on. With Zyuranger kits wrapped up and Liveman about to drop, these would be welcome additions indeed.
The Encyclopedia makes mention of several past sentai and even features some photos of vintage Candy Toy & Gashapon Robo sets from shows like Kousoku Sentai Turboranger. Could we see a series like that next on the horizon? We’ll be sure to update you if so!
A very interesting new listing has just hit the Web!
Figsoku.net has just put up a new page revealing the apparent next entry in the Super Sentai Artisan collector series: the Doron Changer from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!
This Artisan entry is a limited run, with only 6000 units being produced. Release is scheduled for September 2016 and has a price of 10,584 Yen before shipping and handling. An exact count of accessories and features is sadly unknown at this time. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this exciting new release!
