Lion Henge!

We’re back with yet another fired up gallery & review from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! This time we take a look at the massive Sky Otomonin himself, DX Lion Ha Oh!

Unusually for a toy of it’s nature, Lion Ha Oh is not the final toy to be released in this line as we still have the 6-piece Gekiatsu Dai Oh coming up. However Lion Ha Oh still falls into the category of the big but largely hollow Q3/Q4 releases with multiple forms:

  • Lion Ha Ojo– the rolling castle/tank
  • Lion Ha Oh– the unique robot mode form
  • Ha Oh Shurkenjin– A massive combination that incorporates all the primary components of DX Shurikenjin & Bison King

Included for use with any of these 3 forms is also a fun little Chouzetsu Akaninger figure that’s roughly the size of a Bandai America Ranger Key. We’ve got some comparisons with other similarly sized figures as well. Lion Ha Oh itself is larger though, so large that size comparisons really don’t do it justice. Scroll through our gallery to check out how it dwarfs and absorbs DX Shurikenjin.

Ultimately DX Lion Ha Oh will be the make or break figure in the line for many collectors simply due to it’s shear size & cost, but we welcome you to check out our complete 60+ image gallery to make that decision for yourself! Wasshoi!

Washoi! The dinosaur Otomonin joins the fray in this years theatrical film Shuriken Sentai Ninninger The Movie: The Dinosaur Lord’s Splendid Ninja Scroll. And not to be left out on the toy side of the things, a special “EX” release has just hit retail for this new ally to the Ninningers with DX Dinomaru!

EX DX Dinomaru is a pretty wild toy. From the ground up this figure is a remold & repaint of the previously released DX Paonmaru, bet you never thought Bandai could get an elephant and a T-Rex out of the same like that? Sharing much of the same transformation as his mold mate, Dinomaru still manages to be new and creative, bringing his own charm to combining with Shurkenjin to form Shurikenjin Dino!

Before you check out our complete gallery be sure to check out the video below to see a full review of EX DX Dinomaru from friend & site contributor baltmatrix!

In just 1 week this years pairing of summer films, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger The Movie: The Dinosaur Lord’s Splendid Ninja Scroll & Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future, will be released in Japanese theaters. As such the related toys for each film are set to be released soon, and new official images have given us the best look yet at them.

For Ninninger we have DX Otomonin EX Dinomaru. This remold of Paonmaru is of course the movie exclusive mecha for this year in the same vein as Safari Ga Oh, Tobaspino, FS0O Frog, and a host of other toys. This figure will be released on August 8th to coincide with the film and retails for 4104 yen.

For Kamen Rider Drive we have a bit of a surprise! Not only will this years movie henshin device set include those used by Drive in the film, the DX Shift Next/Special Car & Tridoron Key, but a third item is also in the mix. And it’s the DX Newton Eyecon from Kamen Rider Ghost! This set will be released a bit later this month, August 29th, for 2160  yen.

Surfin’ Washoi!

We’re back with  another review of a recent addition to Shuriken Sentai Ninninger’s bizarre toyline! This time we’re taking a look at the ally of the seas, DX Otomonin Surfermaru!

DX Surfermaru is the last of the regular “upgrade” Otomonin aside from the Movie exclusive Dinomaru & the massive new mecha Lion Ha Oh. And while each toy in this line has been unique in it’s own right, Surfermaru is kind of bizarre. A robot that can ride a wheeled surf board or transform into a submarine form with a shark like face. It’s interesting to say the least. Possible combinations to be made with this toy are Shurikenjin Surfer & Bison King Surfer. It should also be noted that so far, Surfermaru is the only extra otomonin documented to have intentional functionality with Bison King.

We’ve got 60 images of DX Surfermaru in the full gallery (with review) which can be viewed by clicking the link at the bottom of this article. Next time for Ninninger we take a look at DX Lion Ha Oh!

Taking a break from our San Diego Comic Con 2015 coverage we’ve gotten an update to another story from a few days ago. Rumored only days ago, today we have confirmation on the final mecha for Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. Releasing in October is the DX Gekiatsu Dai Oh!

As reported Gekiatsu Dai Oh is a brand new 6-piece combiner for the entire team. Each of the animals it’s composed of feature a hybrid vehicle motif as well as molded in flame details. Consdering Takaharu’s constant state of being “Fired Up” this is totally appropriate! Also as reported Gekiatsu will feature a chest missle launcher activated by a dial gimmick on it’s back. Each of the missles is actually the Ninningers themselves!

So what do you think of this bizarre new mecha? It’s been many years since a full team mecha upgrade like this has happened and it may very well be the first time a 6th ranger has received one and been incorporated in this fashion.

under Super Sentai

Though many have speculated since this the early reveal of the upcoming DX Lion Ha Oh, we may have some information regarding Shuriken Sentai Ninninger’s Q4 toys!

Lion Ha Oh, set for release in about a week, is the largest toy in the line and being that it’s a Q3 release many fans suspected a final mecha for Q4 to be revealed after it. Well if rumors posted by the reputable Dukemon22 of Rangerboard are to be believed then we’re actually about to get a brand new 6 piece combiner in October to finish out the year! DX Shuriken Gattai Gekiatsu Dai Oh!

Gekiatsu Dai Oh as stated above will be a 6 piece set of new mecha for the Ninningers. Composed of HouhouMaru (Phoenix), GenbuMaru (Turtle), SeiryuuMaru (Dragon), ByakkoMaru (White Tiger), PandaMaru (Panda), and MagoiMaru (Black Carp) each will have a hybrid vehicle motif. Able to form it’s own independent combination this robot is said to be primarily blue & orange with a fire theme. It’s also capable of substituting for Shurikenjin when combined with Lion Ha Oh to form Ha Oh Gekiatsu Dai Oh! It also apparently it has a chest missile firing gimmick!

What do you think about these rumors? We haven’t had a series regular full set of new machines for each individual of a sentai in quite some time, so this could be very unique indeed. Check back with us as time for release of this proposed set approaches!
