January Figureoh Magazine Reveals

Thanks to the latest Figureoh Magazine we have some releases and annoucements for figures for June through May.  To start off with we have the exclusives for June.

SH Figuarts Phoenix Phantom (Kamen Rider Wizard) - 3675 yen
SH Figuarts Warz Gil (Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger) - 4410 yen
SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Cyclone (Kamen Rider W/Super Climax Heroes) - 3675 yen
SH Figuarts Sagittarius Zodiart (Kamen Rider Fourze) - 3990 yen
SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Den-O Axe Form - 3675 yen
SH MonsterArts Destoroyah Evolution Set - 8400 yen

The Phoenix Phantom was shown early on other forums but there was no confirmation about if it was real or not until now.  Also its interesting to see that they re making an actual Figuart of Saggitatirus since they already made a Zero for it. Other then the information provided there are no pictures minus the Pheonix at the this time.  For those who are interested in any of the items listed make sure to preorder them at your favorite middleman.

We also got a look at the SHF Machine Winger which is Kamen Rider Wizard's main bike.  There are no other details at this time so stay tuned for updates.

Next we got another look at the SHFs for Iron Man and War Machine.  I am still puzzled about these but I guess they were popular enough to get the Figuarts treatment. They are priced at 4500 and 5000 yen respectively and will be released in May.

We also got closer look at Ultra-Act Ultraman Father.  He was shown at Tamashii Nations last December and will come with his version of the Mantle.  He will also be released in May at the price of 4800 yen.

Lastly we finally got more information about D-Arts Metalgarurumon.  He was a long waited figure that fans have been wanted since it was shown a while back.  He is priced at 4410 yen but  no other details have been provided so stay tuned for that as well.  Same goes for D-Arts Forte which will be priced at 3990 yen.

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.

Power Rangers Deluxe Megaforce Gosei Ultimate Megazord

Thanks to Raz on Rangerboard we have a sneak peak of some of the Fall Megazord release in the Power Rangers Megaforce toyline. Source from a German Magazine gives us a look of the Deluxe Gosei Ultimate Megazord. It looks pretty close to the Japanese version minus the usual paint differences and sizing so for those who wanted to get Gosei Ultimate you can get the Bandai of America version. At this point we still don't know who "Gosei" is but going by the Hot Wheels Playset and it may actually be the Gosei Ultimate Megazord after all but we will need to see it in the show first.

SHFiguarts Kamen Rider Flame Dragon Form

Thanks to Tokunation we have a sneak peak of SHFiguarts Kamen Rider Flame Dragon from the cover of latest Figuroh Magazine.  Details are unknown at this time.  In the magazine shots we can see that he will contain the Wizard Gun and an dragon chest attack part.
New pics originally posted on Jefusion.

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.
