CDJapan has recently opened preorders for a new Super Sentai data book-
Super Sentai Toy History 40: 1975-2016 will offer fans an extensive look at various Super Sentai toys released over the franchises’ 40-year history- covering everything from Himitsu Sentai GoRanger to Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger!
This data book is set for release in late November 2016 and is priced at a modest 2800 Yen.
It seems the rumour mill is beginning to churn for the 41st Super Sentai series following Zyuohger, with Toei seemingly having filled out a trade mark application for a show translated as Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger as the title suggests: next year’s show could be heading for an outer space theme. The trademark appeared via @trademark_bot on Twitter whom in the past was responsible for revealing the currently airing Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger’s title.
Keep in mind that Toei has yet to make any sort of official statement or announcement on this title, for all we know this trademark could end up being nothing or for another unrelated project all together. So for now take this announcement with a heavy dosage of salt and as always: we’ll bring more up to date information on this subject as it becomes readily avalaible.
Once again thanks to DrillBit, another piece of interesting news was found in magazine scans.
According to the blurb in the image attached to the article: The Premium Bandai online store will be releasing Super Sentai related items including original product and re-releases of older toys with new packaging. The Kamen Rider equivalent to this would be the Super Best line.
There isn’t a whole lot of information to go on as for now, the image doesn’t mention anything like how much these original items will cost or even what they’ll be reissuing first.
No, this isn’t the poster for the next Super Hero Taisen film but a celebration of Japan’s three major Toku franchise and an event for fans of all ages.
The Three Major Tokusatsu Hero Festival is an event that celebrates all things related to Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Super Sentai. The Festival will be held this August at the ATC Hall in Osaka Japan.
The Asahi Shimbun has reported that the Toei Hero World: Namco Action Museum will open in Chiba, Japan later this year on December 20th. The museum will have costumes, props and other items used in various Tokusatsu shows on display. It will also have food, drinks and interactive attractions.
Toei’s website for the museum can be seen here.
A casting call for extras from the Ibarkaki Film Commission has revealed that the sequel to last year’s Super Hero Taisen movie will be entitled Kamen Rider x Super Sentai x Space Sheriffs: Super Hero Taisen Z.
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!
