The first episode of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has premiered and the hype is beginning to build across the fan community. Many fans are “feeling” the idea and premise behind this new series and many of us (including your’s truly) are now going back and placing orders for various merchandise.

One such item that is something of a collectible for Kamen Rider fans over the years is this year’s belt henshin device – aptly named the Gamer Driver. Unlike previous years, this year’s version has no electronics in it – instead all the electronics are in the collectible Gashats that you insert in to the driver.

But don’t let us tell you that – check out our buddy Long’s Toys and his review of the Gamer Driver in the video below! Be sure to Like the video and Subscribe to his channel!

Join in our on-going discussion of all the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid merchandise! See you next game!

under Super Sentai

We don’t have much to go on currently other than the cryptic teaser image attached to this article. But it appears the Premium Bandai subline of Super Sentai Artisan releases is about to add an item from Gosei Sentai Dairanger!

The teaser image provided simply says to check back with the Premium Bandai website on October 26th for the official reveal. Right now (given recent releases) our best guess is that this item will be a Super Sentai Artisan Aura Changer, with perhaps a Kiba Changer release down the line. Attentive Power Rangers fans will of course recognize the Aura Changer as the basis for the Magna Defender’s morpher from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

We’ll keep you up to date as new information and details become available for this upcoming Dairanger item!

under Power Rangers

Earlier today we got our first look at the upcoming packaging for the Legacy Mighty Morphin Red Ranger helmet. Releasing in October for roughly $100, this is a cost-affordable alternate to some of the more popular (and sometimes unreliable) home businesses that create Power Rangers cosplay items.

Join in the discussion of this highly anticipated item! Will you pick this up? Or is your current cosplay item more than capable of fulfilling your needs?

under Metal Heroes

Great news for Space Sheriff Gavan fans – the upcoming Beam Sword or Laser Blade will be seeing a release via Bluefin Tamashii Nations here in the United States! Originally only available through Premium Bandai Japan, the US release will hit in January of 2017 for a suggested retail price of $164.99.

You can pre-order yours through Amazon today for $165.99.

Absent from San Diego Comic Con 2016 but teased for Power Morphicon 5, Bandai America delivered – the first wave of Power Rangers Ninja Steel product was revealed this past weekend! On display were the following items:

  • 5″ Figures (Red, White, Pink, Blue, Yellow Ninja Steel Rangers)
  • Ninja Steel Megazord (combined and individual zords)
  • Ninja Steel sword (name not yet revealed)
  • Ninja Steel blaster (name not yet revealed)
  • Ninja Star Morpher

Bandai America also answered a few questions about this upcoming product. Jokingly, they stated the slits in the skirts for the 5″ female Rangers was done because they were tired of not being able to pose them in more than one pose at all the conventions (in reality, they heard the feedback from fans and made the change for this toy line). These figures are a new production run of the Bandai Japan Ninninger figures, and the females are brand new molds. The sword accessory is also larger than the Bandai Japan one. The ninja stars that you see are rough mock-ups, the actual final versions did not ship in time for them to be displayed with the product. They will be a soft foam like plastic because kids will want to throw them, but they will be fun and of course, very collectible.

The Power Rangers Dino Supercharge toy line is slowly coming to a close but that didn’t stop Bandai America from showing off what’s left at this year’s Power Morphicon 5! We went through the booth taking pictures of some items that you already have, as well as the new items that you don’t! Check out images of the new upcoming 5″ figures as well as some of those repainted zords you may not own yet! Enjoy over 25 images from Power Morphicon 5 – Power Rangers Dino Supercharge toy images!

As we continue to look at all the news and events from Power Morphicon 5, easily the biggest reveal (toy-wise) was that of the Legacy Power Sword. That’s right – Bandai America has figured out a way to package a 1:1 scale sword in a box and to have a retailer sell it as such. And that is AWESOME! Check out all the high res Power Morphicon 5 – Legacy Power Sword Images by clicking the title of the story.

On top of that, Bandai America answered a few of our questions (and other fan’s questions) about the Legacy Power Sword and we have those statements here for you as well.

  • Planned to ship in one piece, no assembly required (giant long box)
  • Not ready to set a price as of yet
  • If it sells well, they’d love to do the other Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ Power Weapons
  • “No comment” when asked if it was designed with foresight of possible combining in the future
  • Sounds and electronics included (prototype had buttons on side of handle, we missed that in photographs, our apologies)

Do you plan to grab the new Legacy Power Sword when it’s released? Sound off in our discussion thread!
