Ryuki's Raia! A June SHF!


Well Tamashii released Raia's promotional pics! The promotional pics show Raia will come with the Evil Visor, Whip and four Advent Cards. Along with the promotional pics, we all learned the release date will be sometime in June.




DX Astro Switch Rack?

If you weren't satisfied with the Kaban due to it not being able to carry all the switches nor were you able to obtain the Gentaro bag do to it be a Japanese promotional item then you are in luck. Supposedly a new "DX" Astro Switch Rack has been announced and I put that in quotations cause even though the posting shows it being a DX item it is unsure how exactly its being released and if it really is a DX item that is being marketed for the toys. Anyways for now here are some pictures of the rack and we can go from there.

SHF News: Super TaToBa Rumors and Ryuki's Raia

Recents pictures have surfaced on an upcoming SHF and one that will be released in upcoming months. First off we have a pic of Kamen Rider Ryuki's Raia, that was taken at some unknown expo. Then we get more juice news/rumors, the SHF Kamen Rider OOO Super TaToBa has been either promoted to be getting the Wing effect parts from the TaJaDol effect set. So yet again Tamashii trolls the fandom by releasing the Wing effects with yet another exclusive figure from the OOO series. This kind of annoys some of the members here at TAN while also make others scratch their heads and laugh. Well anyways here's the pics to prove it!




WRW EX2 Elimination Chamber



On a special edition of WRW, Wheelchair21 and Projektrdm are forced into the Elimination Chamber post-show. With Elimination Chamber being pretty predictible, the guys go into recaping Raw, Super Smackdown, and predicting Wrestlemania 28. A Wrestlemania in which we believed to be too predictible and rushed! Along with that all photos of the Royal Rumble, are own by WWE and were taken from the site for our journalistic purposes. .... Also ShiShi means Dragon?! Oh Come On, Hakase!

DX Gobuster Machines Gorilla and Rabbit

We finally now see the boxarts and the features of the other two Gobuster machines to form gobuster-oh. We first have GT-0-2 Gorilla and next we have RH-0-3 Rabbit. It is interesting on what features the machines have and I wonder how it will incorporate in the candy toy versions but for now here are the DX Gobuster machines.

Projekt's Toku Hottie of the Week

Welcome to projektrdm's segment Toku Hottie of the Week
just a short segment showing some of the females that get us to watch toku week in and week out.
Enjoy!

The very first pick for this segment is.....


Nao Nagasawa



10 reasons why she is the first on this list (and I assure you I am not being biased)

1. look at the picture n'uff said
2. she's a nerd like the rest of us  (a very good looking one at that)
3. she can kick ass for real (she's trained in kempo, and did a lot of stunts and fight scenes herself)
4. she came back for guest appearances as hurricane blue (unlike some actors who plan on never coming back to the role that made them famous)
5. she plays both sides ( she's been in Kamen Rider and Super Sentai reprising her roles in Gokaiger and playing roles in Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider Fourze and she can play hero or villain)
6. multi-talented she can sing and she plays guitar
7. she is a fan of tokusatsu herself (she managed to keep some props from Hurricanger and she collects action figures)
8. she's a tough baddass (broke ribs and went to the hospital doing her own stunts)
9. she's a well rounded actress (yes I have seen Hotel Chelsea she was pretty good in it)
10. did I mention she's just really hot


Here is an interview of her from diverse japan check that out

Akibarangers SHFs



In a somewhat surprising turn of events the Akibarangers are now confirmed to have SHFs made of them. Its interesting to see this seeing as the info for their series was just leaked the other day and I got to say they look really nice. If you aren't up to date Akibirangers are an adult unofficial Sentai Series but is still an "official" tokusatsu series since its still being made by Toei. We also have been confirmed a time slot when the series airs at 1:30 am in Japan. I wonder if this means there is going to be more 1:1 scale roleplay since it is targeting the adult audience. Well without further interruption here is how the SHF form of the characters are going to look like.

WWE's Elimination Chamber

The Pay-Per View opens with a Road to Wrestlemania promo hyping tonight's Chamber matches. Following that is to open the show is the Raw Elimination Chamber for the WWE Championship. CM Punk and Kofi Kingston start the match, as Jericho, Miz, Ziggler, and R-Truth wait in the holding pods. In the opening minutes Punk and Kingston use several chain grapples, making it a great showing. Ziggler thou eventually is released from a pod and goes straight for Punk, until Punk and Kingston double team him. R-Truth was the next to enter as Punk and Kingston knocked each other out for a brief time. Just over the next 5 minutes, Punk manages to eliminate R-Truth via the Savage Elbow Drop and pinfall before he himself was almost eliminated.

Miz entered in at number 5, where he then begins to work on everyone in the match it is around this time Punk manages to counter Miz into the Anaconda Vice and tries to make him submit. The hold is broke when Jericho is released from his pod and Punk goes straight for him. As the two battled one another Ziggler tried sneak attacking Jericho who in return eliminated him via pinfall after hitting the Codebreaker. The remaining for then begin to battle amongst themselves as Kofi went for a crossbody from atop a pod, where Jericho moved in to lock on the Walls forcing him to sumbit. It was at this time Jericho began attacking the eliminated Kofi that Punk scored a KO'ing Roundhouse Kick that sent Jericho from the Chamber and the match itself. It was now down to Punk and Miz, where Miz did everything he could to win but was unsuccessful as Punk landed a powerful GTS and pinfall to retain the Championship.

Following the Raw Chamber the commentary team go into how Santino Marella replaced Randy Orton in the Smackdown Elimination Chamber match. It was then they cut to a promo of Santino parodying Rocky. Then to close out the intermission we get a Wrestlemania 28 promo...RDM there goes another shot!

The second match on the card was for the Divas Championship, Beth Phoenix defending her belt against Tamina Snuka. They brawled about throughout the entire match, with Beth mostly destroying Tamina. It was until Tamina turned the tide that Beth went to end the match with Glam Slam, as she retained her championship.

Next Josh Matthews tries to get an interview with the injured/recovering Chris Jericho but is unsuccessful. While in the ring Johny Ace is up to no good again assembling a roster of Teddy Long haters, like David Otunga, Alberto Del Rio, Mark Henry and Christian to protest Teddy Long as a General Manager. Before finally cutting to Big Show talking on how he hopes to win tonight's Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship and headline Wrestlemania! Cutting right to the match itself as the participants enter their pods.

The Great Khali, Cody Rhodes, Santino Marella and Daniel Bryan were locked in the pods, while Wade Barrett and Big Show started the match. They brawled about the entire Chamber, as Barrett worked on Show's knees until Rhodes entered the match. Show manages to fight them both off before the actually team up on him, then against each other. While Rhodes and Barrett fought one another Santino was the next to entire and he tried to hold his own for awhile before everyone turned their sights on different targets. As the Great Khali entered the Chamber he destroyed almost everyone in mere minutes before Show landed a powerful Spear followed by a pinfall to eliminate him.

As Khali exitted the Chamber and with everyone else down Big Show went to Bryan who was still locked in his pod. Big Show broke through the roof of the pod and entered, to attack Bryan. For almost a minute Bryan was locked in with Show before he was released. As they exitted the pod Barrett and Rhodes attacked Show allowing Rhodes to eliminate him from the match before Santion eliminated Rhodes. Barrett beatdown Santino before going for Bryan, they battled about until Santino and Bryan managed to work together to eliminate Barrett. As in came down to the two of them Bryan was over confindent in his looming victory as Santino took him to his limits. Just sadly enough Bryan pulled through and locked in the Lebell Lcok to make Santino submit. Bryan retained his champion but discovered he now had the Great White to contend with as Sheamus appeared ushering which Championship he'd choose to compete for at Wrestlemania by leaving Bryan laid out in the ring!

Backstage thou Jack Swagger and Justin Gabriel begin to argue about, as Swagger picked on Hornswoggle. Teddy Long came in and then made an United States Championship between the two, which was following an intermission for Mania promos. The US Championship was quick and short as Gabriel lit up the with his moves until Swagger locked in the Ankle Lock forcing Gabriel to tap out.

The main event was sadly the Ambulance match between Kane and John Cena. The matched open with Cena and Kane brawling about the entrance area, before it spilled into the ring. Kane managed to beatdown Cena for awhile, as he use a wheelchair to roll Cena up to the Ambulance to try and end the match. Cena fought back and the two entered the crowd as the fight continued. Cena and Kane manage to bring the fight back to ringside as Cena tried sending Kane through an announce table but got reversed into the Chokeslam. Kane then goes for the stretcher to cart Cena to the Ambulance, Cena fights out and the match goes into its final minutes. The two climb to the top of the truck where Cena manages to get Kane for the AA and sends him off the top of the truck before throwing into the Ambulance to win the match. As Cena heads to the ring in victory the commentary team, practically setup the hype for the looming match between John Cena and The Rock at Wrestlemania 28!

SHF Juuzo announcement

It really sucks that he became an exclusive but we did all see it coming. He comes with a broken Uramasa, a full Uramasa, his Gedou sword, and a sheath for the sword. He is coming out in June.



S.H. Monsterarts Baby/Little Godzilla

Recently on the net we finally get to see what comes with Monsterarts Baby/Little Godzilla. We knew he was coming with Space Godzilla Crystals from a previous announcement but this time we get to see how they look like. I guess if I do eventually get a Godzilla I would want this guy too but seeing as Baby Godzilla is a Tamashii Web Exclusive it makes the chance low.
