Well this looks like something we can all definitely be thankful for this year! Occasionally we share rare & interesting toku auctions we find on ebay but this is on an entirely different level.

The fine folks at Serious Toyz[/URL] have just opened up a special set of auctions aimed at collectors of vintage Japanese die cast toys & robots with a special emphasis on tokusatsu! Running the range of Metal Heroes, Super Sentai, Ultraman, Godzilla, & Kamen Rider this auction consists of a number of rare finds from a personal collection that was greatly cared for with many items having either never been opened or even used.

It isn’t often we see near mint & rare vintage releases like this for sale. So we wanted to share this with the community in the hopes that someone here may finally be able to fill a unique hole in their collection they’ve been after!

The master list of ALL Auctions are posted HERE

The next entry in Bandai’s long long line of Minipla/Candy Toy sentai kits is coming up! From Shuriken Sentai Ninninger it’s the first robo of the series, Minipla Shurikenjin!

Shurikenjin will be broken down into 5 box set at 350 yen per box. This assortment will be released on March 24th. As per usual this little mini version of the DX toy looks spot on and replicates the Shuriken switching gimmick as well allowing you to create standard Shurikenjin and Shurikenjin Drago!

And don’t forget that Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Episode 1 “We Ar Ninja!” premieres later today at 6PM EST. Be sure to join in on the live stream of the episode if you can and dive right into our posted discussion thread as well.

In a bit of a surprise announcement, model car company Fujimi via Taghobby has announced that they’ll be diving into the world of Kamen Rider bikes, starting with Kamen Rider Black’s trusty ride: a 1/12th scale replica of the Battle Hopper!

The model kit will be coming out in October, retailing for 5000 yen and the kit itself will feature compound eyes ala S.H.Figuarts.

Bandai’s premium website have begun taking orders for a new entry in the Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger minipla line – based on Zyudenryu combination Raiden Kyoryuzin’s Lightning Brave Finish attack!

This special set includes Gabutyra, Stegotchi, Dricera and Pteragordon molded in translucent gold plastic, with all the stickers replaced by new gold foil stickers. It is priced 3675 yen, and will be released in January 2014.

This is a web exclusive item, so anyone interested will need to get their orders in with one of the many reputable middlemen available. Check out a full image gallery of the kit after the jump!

Thanks to a user on Hatena Diary we have an EXTENSIVE look at the new minpla Kyoryuzin from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger! We’ve been provided with boxed, pre-build, full build, and mid transformation shots alike. Unfortunately it looks like some liberties had to be taken with Kyoryuzins’ design to achieve this figure, such as the removal of the Zyudenchi (beast batteires) from the design. Instead Gabutyra has permanently fixed black cylinders under his chin and tail which act as arm connectors.

We’ve hosted a selection of the images from this set here. Click the link to go and check out the full, and massive, image gallery of this latest minipla release!

Pre orders for the Minipla Kyoryujin set are now live, and AmiAmi posted new photos online.

Gabutyra’s body will come in two separate boxes while Dricera and Stegochi will be packed in single contained boxs.

Minipla Kyoryujin will be shipping sometime in late March retailing for a very wallet friendly price of 2940, a great alternative to those who can’t afford the DX!

Thanks to Tokunation member Gryphman for the heads up!

under Power Rangers

Do you enjoy putting plastic models(plamo) together? Sure we’ve seen candy kits of Sentai mecha before, but what we have here today is something somewhat different. Out now at Toys R Us stores by Bandai America(and possibly designed by Tsuyoshi Nonaka of PLEX) are kits for:

  • Dragonzord With Mega Ranger Water
  • Lionzord With Mega Ranger Fire
The zords feature a build requiring snapping parts together, and no need for glue nor paint. In addition each zord has 3 modes:
  • Emblem(origami)
  • Animal
  • Vehicle(motorcycle for Blue Ranger, flying vehicle for Red Ranger)
The animal modes for each zord are articulated as well. In addition, the Mega Ranger figures included are in kit form! When completed, each Mega Ranger figure is fully articulated(like the mainline figures). Included with each Mega Ranger is a black sword. Price for these sets is $18.99 each. Check them out after the jump!
