“Watch as I become the Emperor of the Galaxy!”

8 years ago Ultraman Belial made his debut in Mega Monster Battle, and ever since we’ve seen dark ripples related to him throughout the Ultra universe. One of the darkest villains this franchise has ever seen, Belial has persisted to fight heroes at every turn even beyond his own multiple deaths. And even despite his evil, he’s managed to spawn a heroic son in Ultraman Geed. Despite his prominence Belial has only ever received a couple of really nice collector oriented figures. So given Geed’s popularity we wanted to do a throwback gallery to the original Ultra-Act Ultraman Belial!

One of the oldest Ultra-Act releases in the line, in fact the 2nd, Ultraman Belial still holds up pretty well all these years later. While not perfect, Belial has a surprising amount of personality and is an intricately detailed figure. Actually Belial even has a really great set of accessories. His alternate claw hands, the Giga Battle Nizer in 2 configurations, and even specific effect parts for the Belial Shot & Belial Deathscythe attacks! Frankly this is an incredible release for the time.

We’ve attached the full gallery of over 70 images to this post, but you can also check out a full review in the gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with another exciting gallery as well.

A pair of new Tamashii Web Exclusive releases have just been added to the Tamashii Nations website! Seen previously as Tamashii Nations 2016, first up we have S.I.C. Kamen Rider Shin Zangetsu! The first of the second generation Gaim riders to receive the S.I.C. treatment, Shin Zangetsu looks to be a stellar release. He’ll be priced at 8856 yen.

And adding to the surprisingly growing roster of Ultraman Manga releases is the new Ultra-Act X S.H. Figuarts Bemular!  The sleek new Bemular was likewise shown off at Tamashii Nations 2016, and will be released as a Web Exclusive alongside Zangetsu in July 2017. Beular retails for 7560 yen. 

Be sure to get in touch with your preferred Tamashii Web Exclusive middleman or service in the near future to secure your orders for either of these excellent releases.

Another surprise reveal has gone up on the Premium Bandai site! This time it’s for another upcoming Tamashii Web Exclusive, a new re-release of sorts. Ultra-Act x S.H. Figuarts Manga Ultraman Special Edition!

This new figure is actually a re-release of the Manga Ultraman that came out back in July. However those who purchased that retail release figure may feel a bit cheated. Ultraman Special Edition includes several accessories that the 1st release did not. An unmasked Shinjiro head, armblade effect parts, and a personalized Tamashii Stage!

Ultra-Act x S.H. Figuarts Manga Ultraman Special Edition will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in May 2016 for 6480 yen!

Our very own Kickback is back! This time he interviewed Adam Newman from Tamashii Nations, who was at the Bluefin booth.  From the interview, Adam talked about the state of the market when it comes to Figuarts, from Sentai/Power Ranger to Kamen Riders, and Anime in general.

Tamashii Nations USA is taking a break from anything Power Rangers related for SDCC, in fact, while MMPR related product sold very well (Figuarts White Ranger was their best ever), Figuarts that aren’t MMPR didn’t do so well.  For example, the Figuarts Zero MMPR Red Ranger is being shelved because Tamashii Nations is less than satisfied with how the Figuarts Zero MMPR Green Ranger performed.

The overall state of Figuarts is doing very well however, in fact, the Figuarts market; when it comes to Kamen Rider and Anime properties, are growing so fast that Tamashii Nations had to restrategize so they can keep up with the demands.  Kamen Rider is doing so well that any past or new Kamen Rider characters has a chance to be made.  As for Sentai, if Ninninger can gain enough popularity, it’s entirely possible for Tamashii Nations to consider making the Figuarts as well.

When it comes to Power Ranger news, Tamashii Nations said that repackaging Kyoryuger Figuarts into Dino Charge is entirely possible, something for them to consider.  Tamashii also has interests to partner up with Saban Brands and Bandai of America to do something MMPR Movie related, but it would have to depend on how the movie progresses.

Now for a bit of good news: While Kamen Rider Gaim Figuarts aren’t currently being displayed at SDCC 2015, it is still being distributed by BlueFin, so look forward to that at your favorite retail outlet.  Also a nice tidbit for Dragon Ball fans out there, apparently the new reissue of Dragon Ball Figuarts will come with updated parts, such as hands and possibly faces, be sure to collect them all

Stay tuned as TokuNation brings you more update, pictures, and interviews from SDCC 2015,
