Figure-Oh Magazine Info for November, December, and January

The latest Figure-Oh Magazine has shown us  the exclusive releases for November, December, and January.

First we have the Super Robot Chogokin Gaogaigar in his Golden Hell and Heaven finisher colors and he will be priced at 8,000 yen. The release date is unknown at this time however.


Next we got what a lot of people have been waiting for and that is the Chou Climax SHF.  Well because the head sculpt was different its going to be released as a new Figuart and it will be coming with a special stand at the price of 3,500 yen.


Also in January Fourze Module Set 05 has been announced and its priced at 5,250 yen although it is unknown what is in the set at this time.  Another exclusive in January is unfortunately Go-Buster Blue which most likely means the entire team will be exclusive.  He is going to be priced 3,675 yen.



Lastly we have the Tamashii Nation special exclusive which are some effect parts for Fourze Base, Fire, and Elek States.  The effect parts are basically limit break effect parts and they will cost 3,000 yen.
 

New Gundam Models November-December

So today, which happens to be my birthday, is also a happy day for gundam fan's as we've been announced FOUR new model kits for the coming season...

Starting off in november we've been given the green light on the Age-3 Fortress 1/144 HG kit:

Nothing too special really, same old Age-3 with just new pants and arms... I'll probably get it since I've gotten all the other wear systems for the other AGE kits so far.

Along with that we've been given the announcement for the 1/144 HGUC Byarlant Custom... YES~!! I've wanted one since I saw it in Unicorn and now I don't have to give my arm and leg to an exclusive!!!... sorry about that Ed


Next up on the list which surprised me, the MG for November is the 1/100 MG Age-2 Dark Hound. We haven't heard anything about the AGE-2 Double Bullet yet, but since we still don't know Septembers MG's, I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of them.



And to wrap things up, we have also been given the information on this Decembers MG, which will likely make all you UC fan's and Katoki nuts jizz yourselves like I did. The first of decembers 2 MG's (unless we're given some sort of late announcement on a PG) is the 1/100 MG Nu Gundam ver.KA... YES!!!!

No model render has been made yet, but we should be seeing it around late September to early November... I'm DEFINITELY getting this one, the only thing keeping me from going for the original Nu Gundam MG was it's age, now we finally are getting an updated one.

Power Rangers Megaforce 2013 toyline at PMC3

Yesterday at PMC3 Bandai has shown the new toyline for Power Rangers Megaforce.  Ranging from the new 4 inch line all the way to the megazords and roleplay have been revealed to the public. We got alot to cover so sit back and enjoy a peak of the new toyline.

To start off we have the new morpher which is pretty close to the Japanese Tensouder except that Bandai has a made new card game similar to dice-o and by using the same artwork to go alongside the Power Rangers Megaforce toyline.  It is unknown what sounds are going to be in the morpher but we do know that its going to be in the $25-30 price range and that it will come with 10 cards.



Next we got the basic Blaster which looks to be a smaller version of the Gosei Blaster and the combined weapon which looks pretty close to the original Japanese version. 




We also got a look at the Megazords and so far the smiler design actually looks really nice for this season's megazord and since the Zord Building system is back people can once again make weird combinations with this megazord.  Bandai has also made a smart choice in making the "headers" into bikes cause its a pretty cool way to market them.   They also decided to bring back the retrofire toyline once again and so far they look really nice.
 



 Lastly we got to take a look of the 4 inch power ranger toyline for Megaforce and even got a suprise in seeing bigger 6-6.5 articulated figures of the Megaforce rangers. They seem to be able to go into "Super Goseiger" mode and back to normal mode.


Thats all for now so once again enjoy.   Pictures are from rangerboard/ rangercrew's twitter page.

Power Morphicon Exclusive 4 inch Shark Attack Red Ranger and Super Mooger

Power Morphicon has trolled us once again with a Power Rangers Samurai 4 inch exclusive set which includes Shark Attack Red Ranger and Super Mooger.  Its just amazing how much they can announce this close to the convention...  At this moment we do not know a price or if they are going to get a regular release version but seeing as the figures from the final victory set minus the super shark attack got regular retail it would be nice if this set did as well.

S.H. Figuarts Pegasus Koga

So along with all the other information is Saint Seiya Omega's Pegasus Koga joining the S.H. Figuarts toy line





I know people are scratching their heads that it's not an Armor Plus, but it makes sense seeing as in the show the Armor, when not on the Saints, is not in the form of an armor statue, but a spiritualized version of their constellations. Also to those who say he looks disproportioned or lanky it's basically because his shoulders are pulled down and he's posed improperly.




12" Perfect Model Series

Tamashii Nations has announced a brand new line of 12" figures which are similar to what we have seen in the past with Project BMs.

First we have Wild Tiger and Bunny which are not a surprise seeing due to the popularity of the series.






Next we have Kotetsu T Kaburagi and Barnaby Brooks Jr.



Akiba Red has also been announced which is interesting seeing he isn't in the regular BM line like some of the other reds but I guess he isn't "official" I guess it works.


Now we also have Godzilla and seeing has Bandai made Monsterarts this makes sense.

Service Announcement: On Vacation

Here at Toku Anime News, you can probably noticed we haven't been posting much as of late. The reason is the team has decided to go on vacation! Where starting from Today: Friday August 3, 2012 at 10pm EST till Friday August 17, 2012 at 12pm EST we're planning on practically doing nothing; Except place up already recorded content such as TAN Off-Air episodes and Youtube Reviews. But right now you're probably asking yourself, 'Why are these pre-recorded shows just TAN's stupid 'Off-Air' show?'

The answer is, the gang isn't entirely here to record these episodes in advance and it's hard to actually plan shows around who we can get on to record with us. Now I your next question probably is, 'Well what's so important that you guys can't honestly get together and record?' That answer is, starting off with our main Summer Guest Host: Soundout12 is off to Band Camp and having American Pie-like adventures. As for other guest hosts, MetalSymphonyTYPE-R is going on a trip, while GideonCyclone03 is dealing with School or Vanguard; which I hear is some drug-like children's card game that isn't played on motorcycles.

Then as for the main host of TAN you ask. Werewolffinder as regular host on the show, is busy with running his local Pokémon League. GundamLegacyExtreme is visiting with relatives, and Darkon is grooming his Ponies. Yeah I know Darkon, is a Brony and they suck, just that's my personal opinion along with several others who also work alongside me here at TAN. Anyways as for Projektrdm and myself we're currently working on our trip to California for Power Morphicon 3! So for me and him we have a lot a head for us as we plan to cover the event for the podcast and blog.

And if any news of actual importance does show up, we'll comeback to our duties ASAP to record these annoucnements and report them to you our fans. Our regular schedule podcast thou will return, sometime within the week after Power Morphicon starting with Gundam's Birthday Episode followed up with closing out the Summer of Soundout! Until then, we ask you to please standby and await our return to glory...

Sincerely,
