“Jouchaku!”

Whether you know him from recent appearances in films like Super Hero Taisen Z or Gokaiger VS Gavan, or from his original television series, Space Sheriff Gavan has been an iconic hero in the tokusatsu world for decades.

Now the Metal Heroes franchise stands at the edge of it’s 35th anniversary in 2017. Gavan is getting a lot of love next year with the 1:1 scale replica of the Laser Blade, a renewal figuart with his bike, and yet another movie appearance! So we felt the time was right, now more than ever, to take a look back at the original S.H. Figuarts Space Sheriff Gavan for Toku Toy Box!

We’ve got over 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Space Sheriff Gavan for your viewing pleasure after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in 2 days with the FINAL  Toku Toy Box gallery as well!

It seems that Toei isn’t quite ready to give up on the Metal Heroes brand quite yet.

Board member DrillBit found this quick teaser video from Toei’s official youtube channel that makes mention of crimes related to Makku, Madoo, and Fumma happening on planets across the galaxy. To those new to Metal Heroes: they’re the criminal organizations related to Gavan, Sharivan, and Shaider respectively.

With so little information given, it’s difficult to judge if this project is a new tv show, game, or movie. In the meantime, you can check out the video announcing the project below:

Should Toei go through with a new Metal Heroes project what would you want to see from it or done differently from the two Gavan movies? Discuss in the thread after the jump!

Toei’s famous astral heroes are teaming up to teach youngsters about space history!

A special event hosted by Saitama Youth Astronomical Museum features Fourze & Gavan telling the history of Voyager 1, the spacecraft launched beyond our solar system with recordings of our world to attract the possibility of alien life.

What effects this may have on Megatron’s plans for the future of Cybertron are yet to be determined. :)

A sad bit of news today. Veteran tokusatsu actor Toshiaki Nishizawa has passed away at age 77. Nishizawa is perhaps best known by toku fans for his lengthy role as Commander Qom in the first Metal Hero Series Uchuu Keiji Gavan and his continuation of that role in Uchuu Keiji Sharivan and Uchuu Keiji Shaider. True to his character Nishizawa even returned to play Commander Qom in the recent Uchuu Keiji Gavan The Movie.

Mr. Nishizawa lost a long battle with lung cancer today at a Tokyo Hospital. His passing comes at a time when Metal Heroes are in a full revival, and the legacy of Mr. Nishizawa and Commander Qom will not be forgotten. As the newest Space Sheriff, Geki Jumonji, would say “leave light in the dust.”

Thanks to a helpful youtube uploader we can now watch in full the Uchuu Keiji Gavan Televi-Kun Special DVD! Included with a recent issue of Televi-Kun, this DVD follows Gavan on an adventure with Sherry against the forces of the new Makuu Space Crime Syndicate!

The video itself was used as a promotional push to get fans revved up for the new Gavan movie and introduce them to Gavan Type G, Geki Jumonji! Uchuu Keiji Gavan The Movie itself premiered in October 2012 but it’ll be several more months before subs of it reach the internet. Luckily the raw of this special DVD has been made available to tide us over until then! Expect subs of this Special DVD soon from your usual favorite fansub groups!

A trailer attached to Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Wizard & Fourze: Movie War Ultimatum[/B] previously revealed that the film would include Gavan Type-G and the Space Ironmen Kyodain as they appeared in the Kamen Rider Fourze movie, however this title suggests that Sharivan and Shaider, along with more Metal Heroes characters, will be appearing.

Super Hero Taisen Z is set for release in 2013. Discuss this news after the jump!
