The latest Shuriken Sentai Ninninger toys are hitting store shelves in Japan, and a few lucky reviewers already have samples!
WotakuFighterof YouTube has put together an in-depth look at the newest piece of the Ninningers’ arsenal- the DX Bison King!
And this second video demonstrates the combination of all six main Otomo-nin– known as King ShurikenJin!
The DX Bison King costs 6800 Yen before shipping, and should be available from your preferred Super Sentai retailer very soon!
Ahead of it’s July release, Premium Bandai has just shown off a display copy of their upcoming Super Sentai Artisan Shinobimaru!
This highly poseable recreation of Shinobimaru is a full on replacement for the standard DX toy that can take it’s place in the set of the combined Shurikenjin. Though it can’t replicate Shinobimaru’s arm mode it’s incredibly faithful robot mode and articulation has piqued the interest of many collectors.
Super Sentai Artisan Shinobimaru orders will remain open through May 8th, and it will retail for 5378 yen upon release!
The first images of the third-quarter toys for Shuriken Sentai Ninninger have come online! While the images are low-quality, the details for these new releases correspond perfectly with the rumors we began hearing this week!
*First up is the Chozetsu Changer! This wrist brace allows the Ninningers to transform into a new heavily-armored Chozetsu– meaning transcendent– form! Current rumors suggest only one Ninninger at a time may use this upgrade, but that detail is unconfirmed.
*Next, the new Mecha- Lion HaOh! A gigantic black lion controlled by Akaninger Chozetsu, armed with twin shurikens. The Lion can combine with ShurikenJin and Bison King to create HaOh ShurikenJin– a MASSIVE combination with ShurikenJin controlling an even larger robot from the front seat!
*Last but certainly not least is a special new release for the Ninningers’ summer movie (title and release details still unconfirmed at the time of writing). This new Otomo-nin is DinoMaru, an orange Tyrannosaurus that creates a drill-sword for ShurikenJin!
Definitely some exciting new elements coming soon for the 39th Super Sentai Series!
As is usual these rumors come from the reliable dukemon22, currently posted up over at Rangerboard.com. We can’t yet confirm the validity of this info at this time so take this information as rumor, but this sound very very promising.
DX LionHaOh (9800 yen): A large castle type mecha with a Lion motif piloted by Akaninger Chouzetsu (see below for that one). When Shurikenjin & Bison King combine with it Shurikenjin indeed sits in the throne like the Otomonin! Combined form is named HaOh Shurikenjin.
Shoubu Chozetsu Changer (Battle Transcendance Changer): Allows Akaninger to become Akaninger Chouzetsu. A fully armored soldier form with castle like features as well. Aoninger & Kininger can also access this form. The changer is wrist worn & apparently includes a Lion type Shuriken and another with the kanji for “Shoubu” on it. The Changer can combine with the Ichibantou to form the Ichiban Shoubu Gatana.
Otomin Series EX DinoMaru (3800 yen): And orange Dinosaur type remold of Paonmaru with a drill for a tail. Exclusive to the Ninninger summer movie, it combines to form Dino Shurikenjin.

UFO washoi!
TokuNation returns to the team of ninjas that refuses to hide with Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! And today we’re taking a look at the second release in the Otomonin series of additional mecha, DX UFOmaru!
Apparently the original Otomonin, UFOmaru is the being which all of the Ninninger’s mecha technology is based on. Rather interestingly UFOmaru is also the first and so far only literal UFO based mecha in Super Sentai. We’ve had spaceships in the past but this one takes the cake. An interesting design, UFOmaru can alternate between the traditional “saucer” mode and his own unique robot form that stands tall with Paonmaru & Shinobimaru. When used in place of Shinobimaru, Shurikenjin UFO is formed! Armed with the 3-barrelled UFOmaru Launcher, Shurikenjin UFO succeeds in being another new and unique combination that’s a welcome breath of fresh air.
Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to see a comprehensive gallery of over 50 images as well as a full review for DX UFOmaru. We’ll see you again in a few weeks for our next ninja themed gallery installment with DX Bison Buggy & Rodeomaru!
Paon! Paon! Paon! Wasshoi!
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is moving right along in both show & toyline. The first release in the DX Otomonin series for Ninninger recently hit Japanese retail and we’ve finally gotten our copy in hand for review. Today we’re taking a look at DX Paonmaru!
Paonmaru made it’s first appearance a matter of weeks ago on Ninninger and as the name implies Paonmaru is an elephant. It came to the aid of the Ninningers as the first of the restored Sealing Shurikens. Not only does it have a role as a beast, but it can also be reconfigured into a small robot formation that’s very similar to Shinobimaru at a basic level. Though Paonmaru has a bit more bulk to it. The real star of the show however is this machine’s combination with Shurikenjin, Shurikenjin Paon! Wielding the Paon Axes Shurikenjin Paon benefits from the inherently awesome articulation of the primary figure.
Check out over 50 images as well as a full review of this wonderful new addition to the toyline of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger after the jump! We’ll be back later this week with our look at DX UFOmaru!
The American ninja himself, Starninger, will be making his debut on Shuriken Sentai Ninninger in episode 9. But for now you can tide yourself over with full official images of DX Bison King!
Composed of Rodeomaru & the Bison Buggy, Bison King is set for an April 2015 release and retails for 6800 yen. You can currently pre-order this set from Hobby Link Japan for 5440 yen or alternatively at Amazon Japan for 7344 yen.
Youtube reviewer wotakufighter has put up a new review looking at the latest item in the Shuriken Sentai Ninningers’ arsenal- DX UFOMaru!
UFOMaru is the second Otomo Shinobu released in this series, a flying saucer capable of combining with DX ShurikenJin and granting even more fantastic abilities.
The DX UFOMaru is priced at 3024 Yen and should be available from all major Super Sentai retailers very soon!
Courtesy of youtube user k2eizo we have our first in hand reviews of DX Paonmaru & the DX Karakurihengen from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!
DX Paonmaru will be the first in a series of Otomo Shinobu upgrades for DX Shurikenjin. The mecha itself is set to premiere in tomorrow’s episode of Ninninger! The DX Karakurihengen is the all purpose 3 moded Shuriken weapon that each of the 5 main Ninningers can use as either a Blade, Bow or Claw depending on the users preference!
