Following up from two other reveals at the week long Tamashii Shanghai event, Ultraman Ginga & Ultraman Geed Magnificent, we now have a third! S.H. Figuarts Ultraman X Bemstar Armor!

The Bemstar Armor was officially revealed via the Tamashii Figuarts blog, giving us a selection of official photos to drool over. However shortly after, it was physically put on display at the Shanghai event giving us a fantastic look at this possibly (?) upcoming figure. As of now there are no release details for the Bemstar Armor, and in fact we aren’t sure if it’s going to be released as just a set of armor or if we’re looking at a re-release of Ultraman X with this armor included.

As more details emerge we’ll continue our reporting on this figure.

While Super Sentai fans celebrate VRV’s addition of Zyuranger to its services, we have some unfortunate news for fans of Ultraman; Crunchyroll has announced that several Ultraman shows will be leaving its library citing licensing issues as the main problem.

The four shows are as follows: Ultraman Leo, Ultraman 80, Ultraman Max, and Ultraman Mebius. Ultraman X will remain while nothing has been said about Orb or Geed getting taken down as of this writing.

Fans of these shows will have until October 14th, 2019 at 8 AM PST to finish watching before they get removed from Crunchyroll’s streaming service.
