Hot on the heels of the updates by Bluefin for two Tamashii Web exclusives coming this summer (the previously reported S.H. MonsterArts Little Godzilla and D-Arts Vile) are the official Tamashii Web updates for those figures… plus two more!
First up is the long-previewed villain from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, S.H. Figuarts Juuzo! American toku fans may also know him as Deker from Power Rangers Samurai. He will retail for 3675 yen.
Also coming is a more obscure character, from the television and manga series of the same name, Ultra-Act Andro Melos! A Tsuburaya Productions hero that is part of the Ultraman universe, he just might have a secret identity as a certain Captain of the Space Garrison himself… Andro Melos will retail for 3780 yen.
All four aforementioned figures will begin shipping from Tamashii Web this June, however these two will not be receiving a release from Bluefin.
