One of the most anticipated S.H. Figuarts of the year has just been released! S.H. Figuarts Tricera Ranger is of course from the classic series Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Or if you’re picking up the US release then he’s the original Blue Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! Either way this is one fantastic figure to add to your collection!

On his own Tricera Ranger is an absolutely gorgeous figure. In this photographers opinion he’s the best of the Zyurangers released thus far. This figure nails the look of his onscreen counterpart near perfectly. As you can see from the images in this and our previous Zyuranger/MMPR galleries, Tricera/Blue Ranger is perfectly suited to vehicles released in both the MMPR & Zyuranger toylines,  just like his team mates Dan/Billy will look right at home on any of them.

Tricera Ranger includes not only the standard accessories of extra hands, a Ranger Stick, and Ranger Slinger. But he also comes with his signature Tricera Lances as well as their combined form. AND he includes the newly molded Sabre Daggers & Ptera Arrow necessary to form the Howling Cannon! Of course for our Power Rangers fans out there that means you just got 2 steps closer to forming the Power Blaster! These accessories, as well as those included with S.H. Figuarts Mammoth Ranger gets us most of the way there, but the appropriate Mammoth Breaker will be included with the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Tiger Ranger.

If you’re on the fence about this figure, don’t be. S.H. Figuarts Tricera Ranger/Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger will not disappoint. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see over 60 images of this wonderful figure!

It’s time for TokuNation to take a dark turn down memory lane, all the way back to 1992. That was the year the film Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue was released. This film was the very definition of a grim gritty reboot for the beloved Kamen Rider franchise. As “Prologue” implies, this film was originally meant to set up a new rider TV series. Despite the films incredible practical & special effects, it’s dark re-imagining of the rider concept put off too many old school fans while simultaneously frightening new young fans of the time.

Until now Shin has been mostly relegated to making special appearances in Kamen Rider team-up films such as All-Riders VS Dai Shocker, Let’s Go Kamen Riders, or the Heisei VS Showa Taisen. But now Bandai & Tamashii Nations has shown the most monstrous of riders some serious love. Soon to be released is a Super Imaginative Chogokin figure of Shin. But that’s not all, recently released via the Tamashii Web Shop is S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin! And he’s the subject of today’s gallery as well!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin is the best representation of this rider’s grotesque form that’s ever been released. Though he’s lite in the accessories department, frankly Shin shouldn’t have any. He has no bike in his rider form, and unlike more modern riders Shin carries no weapons, and has never been shown to use any special powered up attacks. Instead relying on brute strength to fight other Cyborg Soldiers like himself. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the full gallery of this fantastic figure!

After a lengthy stay in Tamashii Nations limbo, the original Super Sentai Red finally joins the S.H. Figuarts line this September!

Himitsu Sentai Goranger’s Akaranger will hit retail for the price of 4860 yen, along with a very fitting selection of accessories! Included his Silver Shot gun, signature Red Bute weapon in staff and whip formations, Birdie belt rockets and bomb ball effect part to recreate the “Goranger Storm” finishing attack.

Bluefin Tamashii Nations have also announced that they will be releasing the figure in the US for the price of $44.99, with further release details to follow.

The thunderous brave, Kyoryu Gold, has arrived!

S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold was recently released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, and currently he’s the final Kyoryuger to be released in this line. We haven’t heard anything yet about the rest of the team but who knows. Oddly enough Kyoryu Gold is also not only the 6th Kyoryuger, but coincidentally he’s the sixth 6th ranger Figuart to be released, joining the ranks of Dragon Ranger, Gosei Knight, Shinken Gold, Kiba Ranger, & Gokai Silver.

Kyoryu Gold of course includes his trademark Zandar Thunder & Gaburi Changer as well as the final piece you’ll need to complete your S.H. Figuarts Kentro Spiker! Though the previous Kyoryuger releases are by no means bad, Kyoryu Gold is easily the best of the 6 released thus far. He’s an absolutely solid figure with crisp paint apps and so far top notch quality control. To see our full 40 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold, simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And how about you check out our previous Kyoryuger S.H. Figuarts galleris as well!

Strike in the shadows!

Yet another rider from Kamen Rider Gaim is slated for release in the S.H. Figuarts line this year. This time it’s Kamen/Armored Rider Kurokage!

This release of the figure appears to be of the standard Kurokage rather the the mass produced Kurokage Trooper variant. Notice the still “prototype yellow” Sengoku Driver belt he’s wearing, and the faceplate on his belt. Chances are the Trooper version will eventually see release as well though. But for now I think we can all settle for the original Kurokage, Hase! S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kurokage will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in October for 4104 yen.

For one reason or another the Web Shop has only posted 2 official images to Kurokages’ page, 2 of which are rather boring static poses. We’ve included 3 other images that were previously leaked showing Kurokage with his partner in crime and fellow nut bro, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gridon!

Yet another of last night’s revealed figures is now confirmed with official images and release info! This time we can share images of S.H. Figuarts Roboizer! The sweet ride of the Prince of Sadness himself, Kamen Rider Black RX’s 2nd form, Robo Rider!

This latest addition to the S.H. Figaurts line will likely come with the standard accessories most rider bikes tend to, a display stand and extra handlebars. S.H. Figuarts Roboizer will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in October for 4860 yen!
