Yesterday we saw Bandai Tamashii Nations jump into the world of high-end statues with the announcement of the Tamashii Studios Premium Ultraman Zero -10 Years of Trajectory- figure, but it looks as though the line won’t be just a one-off thing to celebrate Zero’s 10th anniversary!

A further two releases in this new line have been unveiled at Tamashii Nations 2020 – one of Zero’s rival Ultraman Belial, and another of Kamen Rider Double facing off against two Masquerade Dopants! Like the Zero figure both sport incredible detailing, however it’s unclear whether they also feature illuminating parts. One thing’s for sure though – they won’t come cheap.

Check out the full selection of images after the jump and join in on our Tamashii Nations 2020 discussion!

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Ultraman Zero, Bandai Tamashii Nations have unveiled the Tamashii Studios Premium Ultraman Zero -10 Years of Trajectory-, the first in a line of high quality statues.

Sitting atop a rocky plinth (featuring a miniature Pigmon!), Ultraman Zero features illuminating eyes and colour timer as well as a removable cloak. This extremely high quality statue mirrors the detailing of the suit down to the finest detail, making it one of the most impressive pieces the company has produced to date.

Such quality does not come cheap though, with the Tamashii web exclusive statue costing a hefty 132,000 yen. If you’d like to add this incredible piece to your collection though, it will be releasing in July 2021.

Not to be outdone by the reveals of the Shinkocchou Seihou Kuuga’s today, we’ve also got fresh reveals of 3 new Tamashii Nations 2020 exclusives! 

Everyone’s favorite Ultra (who’s commemorating his 10th anniversary) Ultraman Zero, will be receiving an S.H. Figuarts Special Color Version release for the event. Decked out in metallic paint applications and including a specialized Tamashii stage, this release will retail for 5500 yen.

Next up is the event exclusive release from Kamen Rider Zero-One! After Shining Assault Hopper was revealed earlier this year, the question remained whether or not the infrequently seen standard Shining Hopper would be released as well. Look no further than this Tamashii Nations exclusive of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Shining Hopper! This figure will retail for 6000 yen.

And last but not least, Tamashii Nations is reaching into the past for this special release. Commemorating their own Tamashii Nations 2014 S.I.C. exclusive as well as the even older Tamashii Festival 2011 S.H. Figuarts exclusive is the brand new S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider OOO TaMaShii Combo for Tamashii Nations 2020! This special OOO form melds the powers of Ankh’s Taka Core Medal, with Momotaro’s Imagin Medal, and the Shocker core medal to create the living logo of Tamashii Nations! This release retails for 6500 yen.

Tamashii Nations is scheduled for Q4 2020 and as usual is likely to be held in October or November. As event exclusives these 3 releases will be a bit more difficult to come by than the average web exclusive, but they are likely to be released later as lottery items via Tamashii Web as well. As official images are release we’ll be sure to share them with the community.

Yet another exclusive item’s been confirmed for this year’s Tamashii Nation event joining alongside Seihou Diend and Build RabbitDragon whom we had a look at earlier. Now joining the pair is a two-pack featuring S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Zero Strong Corona and Luna Miracle forms.

The two forms were previously done in the now-defunct Ultra-Act line, but they’re recreated here for S.H.Figuarts.

This Two-Pack will retail for 12,100 yen at the event. Accessories include the Ultra Zero Lance and a myriad of optional expressive hands.

The Tamashii Shanghai event just wrapped this weekend, but not without first giving us a couple of more brand new reveals for Ultraman collectors!

When Ultraman Zero was at the first height of his popularity several years ago, he seemed to receive new forms left and right. During the run of the Ultra Zero Fight TV series, Zero would go on to receive two new forms based on combinations of previous Ultras. Strong Corona, a fusion of Dyna’s Strong form & Cosmos’ Corona form, and Luna Miracle, a union of Cosmos Luna & Dyna Miracle. At the time Ultra-Act figure of these forms were made, and now, we finally have the official reveal of S.H. Figuarts for both Strong Coron & Luna Miracle!

Though Tamashii Nations has not yet announced release information for either of these figure’s, we can assume with Zero’s enduring popularity and the speed with which the Ultra S.H. Figuarts line is growing, that we could receive this information fairly soon. We’ll update you when that information becomes available.

“Demonic Fusion unleashed!”

The monster who tried to destroyed Geed’s universe among so many others, has returned. Ripping new life from his puppet Kei Fukuide, and mastering the Dark Lugiel & Alien Empera Capsules, Belial is reborn. With a new twisted form, born in darkness, strong enough to take on Royal Megamaster, S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Belial Atrocious is here!

Belial Atrocious is the first new Tamashii Nations collector style figure that this character has received in 7 years. Before Ultramam Geed began we took an in depth look at his Belial’s original Ultra-Act release from way back in 2010. Flash forward nearly a year from our gallery, and it’s good to see that dear old dad has indeed gotten a new figure. Monstrously detailed, and armed with the ever menacing Giga Battle Nizer, is this Belial’s return to glory? Read the review to find out!

We’ve attached the full 50 image gallery to this post, but you can check out the full review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post as well. Next time, we’ll be back with our in depth look at the long awaited Shinkocchou Seihou Garo!

Proving once again why he’s become a character with incredible longevity and popularity among fans, Ultraman Belial returns to the collector market with his first new Tamashii Nations figure in over 6 years! Recently revealed at the Tamashii Nations 2017 event and now properly confirmed for release is S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Belial Atrocious! 

The last time we saw Belial it was in his Kaiser Belial form, in a toyline that no longer exists, Ultra-Act! Earlier this year we even took a look back at the original Ultra-Act Ultraman Belial. In the interim Ultra characters have officially been folded into S.H. Figuarts with several releases being the 2nd or 3rd outings for characters that already had Ultra-Acts. This time rather than re-doing Belial straight off the bat, Bandai have opted to give us his fantastic new form from Ultraman Geed with Atrocious. Could this signal new Belial & Kaiser Belial figures in the near future? Let’s hope so!

Belial Atrocious will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in June 2018 for 6480 yen. Be sure to get in touch with you preferred middleman or web exclusive service to secure an order for this figure.

“Watch as I become the Emperor of the Galaxy!”

8 years ago Ultraman Belial made his debut in Mega Monster Battle, and ever since we’ve seen dark ripples related to him throughout the Ultra universe. One of the darkest villains this franchise has ever seen, Belial has persisted to fight heroes at every turn even beyond his own multiple deaths. And even despite his evil, he’s managed to spawn a heroic son in Ultraman Geed. Despite his prominence Belial has only ever received a couple of really nice collector oriented figures. So given Geed’s popularity we wanted to do a throwback gallery to the original Ultra-Act Ultraman Belial!

One of the oldest Ultra-Act releases in the line, in fact the 2nd, Ultraman Belial still holds up pretty well all these years later. While not perfect, Belial has a surprising amount of personality and is an intricately detailed figure. Actually Belial even has a really great set of accessories. His alternate claw hands, the Giga Battle Nizer in 2 configurations, and even specific effect parts for the Belial Shot & Belial Deathscythe attacks! Frankly this is an incredible release for the time.

We’ve attached the full gallery of over 70 images to this post, but you can also check out a full review in the gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with another exciting gallery as well.
