UK Exclusive Samurai 4 Inch Lauren?

According to a recently uploaded ebay auction we have a look at what is supposedly a 4 Inch Lauren figure from the Power Rangers Samurai line.  Whats strange is that its in a blind bag style package which makes the link more skeptical then any sort of confirmation about the figure's whereabouts. Also according to the listing it says that the figure will be released 15th so I guess we will need to wait till then to found out if this is indeed a legitimate release of the figure.

Juuden Sentai Kyoryuger Toy Scans

Thanks to Bigbadtoystore we got the first scans of the Juuden Sentai Kyoryuger toys.  For those who don't know Juuden Sentai Kyoryuger is the sentai series after Gobuster that will be airing next February.  This list shows which team member corresponds with each mecha.

Red – Gabutyra (T-Rex)
Black – Parasagan (Parasaurolophus)
Blue – Stegotchi (Stegosaurus)
Green – Zactor (Velociraptor)
Pink – Tricera (Triceratops)


To start with we finally get a look of the DX toy of Kyoryujin.  It is comprised Gabutyra (T-rex) ,Stegotchi (Stegosaurus), and Torikera (Triceratops) which seems to take a nod from Abarenoh.  As previously rumored the individual mecha will be able to turn into Beast Batteries which will correspond with the GabuRevolver. Also going by the scan the mecha will make musical sounds but we will need to wait to see what it will exactly do.

To go along with Kyoryujin there are also two more auxilary mecha that will be able to attach to it. Their names are Parasagan (Parasaurolophus) and Zactor (Velociraptor).  This a very strange change since this will be the first season to have separate main team mecha as stand alone auxiliaries. These will be able to replace the arms for Kyorujin.

Last we got a look at Dino Chaser.  So far it looks like it can separate into two other auxiliary mecha but no other info about it just yet.

SHF Exclusives for April and May

The official Tamashii site has posted the exclusives Figuarts of April and May so lets get this started.

First off we get Momotaros' evil counterpart Negataros.  With this the only main Imagin that is missing is still Teddy.  Also since Negataros has been announced its most likely that Nega form will be announced as well. He is priced at 3675 yen and will be released in April.

Next we got the movie version of Rock Bison from Tiger and Bunny.  I dont know much about this character and I can't really tell what the design changes are from the original release but I will leave the Tiger and Bunny fans to see the difference.  He will also be released in April priced at 5040 yen.

The last exclusive in April is the Saiyan Armor version of Vegeta.  This version of him was seen during the Saiyan saga so if you wanted to wait for his original design you can finally get him.  He will come with several accessories such as alternate faces, a scouter, additional hands, crossed arms, and tail parts. He is priced at 3990 yen so Dragonball fans get ready for his release.

Now moving on to the May Releases we finally get Deka Pink and Deka Yellow so those who want a complete team of Dekarangers its almost finished. They are priced are both priced at 3780 yen.

The last exclusive for now is actually something interesting.  For those who remember there was an exclusive effect set for Fourze that was released at Tamashii Nations earlier this month.  Well now it looks like Bandai will continue the effect sets for Wizard as well.  This set will contain parts that will allow you to pose Wizard as he is about summon his Wizard Gun or attacking with Flame Style and Water Style.  In addition it will contain flame attack parts for his flame kick as well as the Plamonsters?   Lastly it will come with the Big hand effect part which is going to be really massive. The price for this set is going to be 3360 yen.

  

Mecha Madness, it's Mecha MADNESS!!

So at Tamashii Features Robot Damashii fans were treated like royalty with some possible (And since it's robot damashii and not gundam models extremely likely) and extremely likely release announcements. Starting with Gundam's since it's my namesake...

We have our look at the Gundam MK.V, the Droven Wolf Silver Bullet and the Droven Wolf

I'm really liking the look of the MK.V and will likely get it since a model is more than likely never coming.

Anyway next up on the list, it's more of a foreshadowing  but it's obviously we're going to be getting a Robot Damashii of the Kshatriya from Gundam Unicorn.

I personally might get it, but I already have the HG of it so I'm not sure yet.

Next up, more love for UC fan's specially those who've been wanting more from this series sides a GFF, we have the Robot Damashii Xi Gundam rolling out

I'm without a doubt excited for this one since we haven't even gotten a model for it, and will without a doubt be getting it.

Now going into gundam models real quick, we have a strange type of gundam model shown called Chogokin Model, which seems to be an all metal RX-78 or something along those lines:

Will I get it? If it's a true model kit getting released... possibly.

Next up we're moving out of the Universal Century and into the After Colony era with some Wing Robot Damashii and an AGP. Starting with the Damashii we have the Robot Damashii of the Aeries, both the standard OZ version and Lucrezia Noin's

Never personally been a fan of the earlier Oz MS's, but I might get Noin's custom one... not sure yet.

What I am sure of is I'll be getting this:

The Armor Girl Project Wing Zero Custom. Originally I thought it was just a pallet changed version of the earlier Wing Gundam, upon further inspection there are some aesthetic changes to the girl herself so I'll without a doubt get it.

Speaking of the Wing Gundam Girl

We have better pictures of the AGP Wing Gundam Code: 淡雪 (I don't actually know the translation of the Japanese, I think it's Awayuki with mean's snowfall... but Google translate isn't 100% reliable).

Anyway Quickly moving into the realm of Video Games and non century suits... we have the Robot Damashii Extreme Gundam Type Leo

Looking Badass as allways, I'll definitely be picking this figure up since his model kit counterpart was an online exclusive.

Now for all you After War lovers out there, we have the Gundam Double X with G-Falcon attachment that was announced as well

Hot damn does that thing look BEAST!! I'll be picking this guy up since it doesn't seem bandai has any intentions of giving us a HG or even a MG of him any time soon.

And to finish up with the Gundam's, we go to the Cosmic Era with the Testament Gundam

Another Badass looking figure, I will certainly pick him up since I doubt he'll EVER get Model Kit treatment.

Oh but yeah, I said that's it for Gundam, but there is Much MUCH more, I didn't title this Mecha Madness for nothing.

Moving into the realm of Knightmares, to go along with those Lancelot's that's coming out we have the Gurren MK-II finally in robot damashii form

How I've been Pining to get a Gurren in figure form for a while that doesn't make my wallet cry and since the Inaction Off-Shoots weren't up to snuff for me, this Damashii will be a great addition when it comes out.

Moving into the realm of Boukoku no Agito, we have the RPI-11 Glosgow 

Eh it's a Glosgow, and while their designs are unique... i'll probably skip it.

Now into a realm of Code Geass most who aren't die hard fan's would not know about, coming form the Sobo no Oz manga we have the Red Gekka

To be fair, I myself don't know much about this, the forum I got the picture from misinterpreted it as the Gurren MK-I, which it is not.

Also coming from Sobo no Oz we have the Agravain:

Developed from the Gawain, this thing just looks awesome. 

Another Knightmare from Sobo no Oz, we have the brother unit of the Guren, the Byakuen:

So instead of having a Radiation Wave buster on the right arm, it has a 7-in-1 weapon unit... works for me!

And last but not least, again from Sobo no Oz... we can't ahve a Guren (Kinda) without a Lancelot, so here we have the Lancelot Grail:

So we go from a White Knight... to a Red one... I see what you did there bandai!

That's about all the Robot Damashii and mecha stuff that I could find coming out of Tamashii Nations... stay tuned for more information on these figures for their release dates and prices people!

Tamashii Nations Day One Coverage

Earlier this morning Tamashii Nations has shown the new line-up of figures ranging from SHFs to even Monsterarts.  


To start off with we finally get a look at Kamen Rider Blade in SHF form.  He is one the three Pre-Decade Heisei Riders that hasnt been released in the Figuarts line until now.  He looks pretty nice so far and it will be cool to see if Bandai will show the other riders from his series in the next couple of days.

 In the next picture we get a look at a whole bunch of Showa related SHFs.  We can see Appolo Geist who was a really huge fan wanted figure along with Riderman and Kamen Rider X.    Also Stronger fans can finally get a Tackle to go along with their Stronger Figuart.   They even decided to show a regular shocker solider so I guess you can army build those as well.

 Next we got a confirmation that the rest of the Zodiarts will be released.  At this point I wonder how Bandai will decide to release these since most of the ones released so far were exclusive so possibly some of these newer ones will be a regular release. 

In the following image we get a look at the rest of the riders from Kamen Rider Faiz along with the Horse and Wolf Orphenochs.   I am glad to see that they made a Wolf Orphenoch because I really liked his design and it will be cool to display him next to Faiz.  Something tells me he is going to be exclusive but at this point I can't even tell how much shown will even be released to begin with.

To go along with the announcement of Space Sheriff Gavan, Metal Heroes fans can will be pleased to see that Bandai has decided to make Shaider and Sharivan as well.  Seeing as Toei is trying to revive Metal Heroes these SHFs are nice to help promote the franchise and a nice addition to the fans collections.

The next image reveals that the rest of the Ryuki Riders will be released in the SHF line.  For this series its hard to tell how they will release them because of the whole contract monster thing getting in the way.  Most Kamen Riders dont have a specific partner of some sorts so being a series that mostly revolved around them makes it difficult to release them.

Moving along we also can also see that Bandai is once again catering to Power Rangers fans with the reveal of the MMPR Green Ranger or Dragon Ranger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.  It looks as though the Dragon Shield is indeed removable so if it is we can make MMPR Red to wear it. At this point its pretty much inevitable that the other rangers will be released as well so we finally get a definitive figure team of the original Power Rangers.

For those who Superhuman Samurai fans you should be glad that Zenon has also been announced to go alongside Servo so the only one that needs to be released is Drago.

Finally we also find out the other "she" that Bluefin was referring to and it was none other then SH Monsterarts Biollante.  The massive female Kaiju is sure to be the most expensive and the biggest figure yet in the line.  So this has been a look at day one at Tamashii Nations so stay tuned for the next couple of days for new announcements.  Source: Tokunation

Kamen Rider Wizard Flame and Water Style SHFs

Recently in a FigurOh magazine we finally get to see a look at the upcoming Kamen Rider Wizard Flame style form and a newly announced Water Style SHFs.  With Tamashii Nations around the corner this is just a first peak in what we have in store for. 
 

Flame Style will be released in February next year at the price of 3500 yen.  Water Style is the first Wizard exclusive SHF and will be released in March for the price of 3675 yen. Unfortunately the compound eye effect that most Figuarts have are not present on these Wizard SHFs but hopefully they will add that to the Dragon Style because personally I think it wouldn't look as good if it didn't.  Pictures are from Tokunation
