Kyoryuger First Images Posted!: All aboard the Dino-Train! *UPDATE: More Catalogue pics added!* *2nd UPDATE: Even More Catalogue Pics!!*

First the logo and released pics:

 

As you can see, the uniforms are very different from the original concept art.

And here is some info from dukemon:

The work is surrounded by a samba rhythm, making it a fun and bright  experience! Theme of the show is “Charging” (Juuden, i.e. Jyuden, Beast  Electricity). Using the JyuDenChi, in which Dinosaur Souls are stored,  the Kyouryugers charge various pieces of their arsenal.

-Henshin Item is the “GaburiVolver” (Gaburi- to bite). The JyuDenChi is  set in the “Gaburinchou” and henshin is carried out with a Samba Sound.

-Red, Black, Blue, Green and Pink require the help of Dinosaur partners, similar to Aba. Their names are GabuTyra (Tyrannosaurus), Parasagan  (Parasaur), Stegocchi (Stegosaurus), Zactor (possibly a Velociraptor),  and Torikera (Triceratops.)

-GabuTyra, Stegocchi, and Torikera can gattai into the “KyouryuuJin”.  Parasagan and Zactor act as replacement parts for the bot. The toy has  speech gimmicks, and it can recognize all the batteries. It resembles  AbarenOh a tad, and its’ voice actor is Chiba Shigeru, who’s appeared in way too many shows to list here

So as you can see, still trying to be different and experimental like they were with Go-Busters, only with a much lighter feel. For a closer look at the new dinosaur partner mechs, check out these new toy pics from Big Bad Toy Store:

Here’s the official robo KyoRyuJin, which is a combination of GabuTyra, Stegocchi, and Torikera. Pretty similar to AbarenOh and MagiKing, with the other mechs acting as secondary attachments similar to Engine Birca and Gunpherd with EngineOh.

Here’s Dinosaur Zactor (and a partial of one of the JyuDenChis (which contain the Dino Souls and act as “batteries” for the Dinosaurs and the Kyoryuger’s equipment).

And this is Parasagan (sorry, it’s hard to tell what any of these things are without translations).

And this appears to be one of the first new additional Dinos, which the website lists as Stegochi, but looks like it might be one based off of an Anklyosaurus.

And this last one features the new DinoChaser and an illustrated KyoryuRed figure. As you can see, they start out as two separate Raptor-type dinos that combine to make the bike. As you can see in all of these scans, each major set seems to come with a JyuDenChi, and if you look closely at this last one, you can see the future sidearms that the Kyoryugers will use, namely the GaburiVolver and the Samba Sword.

Overall, this is show is suppose to be bright and up-beat with a Latin rhythm, somewhat purposely designed to counteract what Bandai has called the “dark” nature of Go-Busters (which they also hope will counteract the low sales of Go-Busters merchandise). Now we don’t know anything else that has been 100% confirmed, so I’m going to hold off on any real judgment about the series until more info comes out, but so far it doesn’t seem bad (to me, other people, ehh… they’ve already decided it’s going to be terrible). Personally, I was hoping to see some of influence from these Zyuranger Redesigns in the Kyoryuger‘s design, but it’s still not bad.

UPDATE: (12/8/12) More catalogue scans have come out, giving us a better look at their main robo KyoryuJin, and a look at their sidearms and henshin device. Check those pics out below:

First, a better look at the Dinos and KyoryuJin. As you can see, the JyuDenChi is used to “power” special effects in the Dinosaurs, or as they’re known here, the JyuDenRyu, and they each play different sound effects when combining together. Kamitsuki Gattai! Also, the first extra JyuDenRyu, Ankydon (the light blue one that looks like Steguchi) is also shown here.

And here we have a better look at the GaburiCaliber, in sword form and combined with the GaburiVolver to form the DX GaburiCannon. They will sell both parts separately AND in a DX combined set that comes with three JyuDenChis. The JyuDenChi exclusive to the GaburiCaliber is #15 Allomeras (note that the shape of the GaburiCaliber is similar to the Allosaurus).

And here we have a better look at the GaburiVolver, which makes this the first gun-based henshin device for a Sentai series (excluding, of course, any that change into guns, or the Akibaranger‘s MM-01). It comes with two JyuDenChis, #1 GabuTyra and #14 Stymero (Styracosaurus- no word on any future mechs for it). As you can see, to start the henshin functions, you place the JyuDenChi your going to use for the henshin in the bottom “barrel”, close the “mouth”, spin the chamber and whammo!, you’re a Kyoryuger! And as a finisher, there’s a second barrel for combined power attacks. But from what I can tell, there’s only sound effect for Red, Blue, and Pink, which makes me think that Green and Black will come in later in the series with their own version henshin device.

And here we have an overview of the Kyoryugers with their sidearms and their henshin device. And here’s the basic idea we have of the series thusfar: We’ve got five dino-themed rangers fighting and changing to a Samba beat, whose main henshin device is a revolver (the call phrase, by the way, is “Kyoryu Change!”), whose main gimmick are batteries that run on electric dinosaur souls, whose team make-up is the first truly unique line-up we’ve seen in a while (before Sixth or Extra rangers), and whose outfits seem to look like horribly mutated Zyuranger costumes. A better look at the whole team here:

There still haven’t been any more confirmations about the plot, or any future cast, but given the fact that the first official image has come so late in the year, that shouldn’t be such a surprise.

Juuden Sentai Kyoryuger premieres February 17, 2013.

UPDATE: (12/9/12) Even more Catalogue Pics have surfaced, including some better quality ones for the JyuDenRyu. Let’s Check them out!

Here’s a close-up of the belt, which acts as a phone and a carrying case for JyuDenChis, and it looks like it comes with JyuDenChi #14 (no idea). It also shows a new sword weapon (possibly the Samba Sword) and an inflatable punching bag toy.

And here’s another view of the DinoChaser, along with vinyl figures of the Kyoryugers and a mini GabuTyra.

And here we have future relese sets for JyuDenChis, namely #17-22, along with some merchandise advertising (yes, they’re updating Dice-OH! again). And it looks like they included a calendar of release dates starting in January and going through April. And now for a better look at the JyuDenRyu:

And that’s it for now, any more I’m just putting in a new post.

Go-Kaiger Ultra-Post: Haden Ni Ikuze! Until the last episode!

Yes, this is it, the long awaited Ultra-Post for Go-Kaiger (and so we’re clear, I don’t care if their isn’t a hyphen between the “Go” and “Kaiger”, that’s just the way I spell it), and the over-all theme of this post is “the beginning of the end”, because we’re down to the last two episodes, with the finale (Ep.51) on February 19th. And while the series may be ending, the franchise is still in full swing, with both a leading role in Superhero Taisen, and new Go-Kaiger toys being released along with the upcoming Go-Buster toy line (and yes, that’s the official spelling for the new series, you’re welcome). And of course, we still have about a months worth of news to cover in a single post, so let’s get to it!

First off, let’s go over the newest episode summaries for the last three episodes, where  they have an all-out battle with Zangyack!:

Episode 50: Title- Kessen no Hi (Day of the Great Battle) Airs- 2/12/12 Summary-

Zangyack is advancing their final plans, which includes an all out attack on the Gokaiger, and the ultimate destruction of Earth! It has been revealed that the Greatest Treasure in the Universe can, and must, be used to wipeout Zangyack’s Great Fleet, completely. The Gokaiger are hesistant to do so, wondering what their compensation would be.

Episode 51 (Final Episode): Title- Sayonara Uchuu Kaizoku (Goodbye Space Pirates) Airs- 2/19/12 Summary-

The Gokaiger engage in a life-or-death struggle against the Zangyack. What will the Gokaiger do with the Super Sentai’s 34 Great Powers? One after the other, strong enemies gather to stand in the Gokaiger’s way….

And we also have the title of the last two episodes, which are:

• Episode 50: The Day of Battle
• Episode 51: Farewell Space Pirates

And now for some new scans, which feature the final EPIC fight between Basco and Go-KaiRed, the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, the second Legend War, and much more!:

These scans below come from the first official Volume of the Go-Kaiger RangerKey Book:

 How is the book cover the smallest scan?

Anyway, This is book one, as there will be future volumes to come out with future RangerKey releases, such as these seen here:

Yep, those are SIX coming RangerKey sets, for Hurricanger, Boukenger, Dekaranger, Gekiranger, Kamen Rider OOO, and a 2nd set for Go-Buster, which features the 4th & 5th Go-Busters and the new BuddyRoid (which I will cover in a separate post).

Now let’s move on to some confirmed and rumored returning actor appearances for these last three episodes:

Yes, this already happened, but it’s so cool it’s just worth going over. for Ep.49 (The Greatest Trasure in the Universe, 2/5) we had a 5-in-1 tribute episode for SunVulcan, Changeman, Flashman, Maskman, and Fiveman. And for this tribute episodes, we had the following returning actors:

Takayuki Godai (Takayuki Hiba/Vul Eagle II), Kazuoki Takahashi (Shou Hayate/Change Gryphon), Kihachiro Uemura (Dai/Green Flash), Issei Hirota (Akira/Blue Mask), and Ryou Narushima (Remi Hoshikawa/Five Yellow).

For Ep.50 (The Day of The Deciding Battle, 2/12), we have:

Seiju Umon (credited under Aohisa Takayasu), who previously played Mammoth Ranger Goushi in Zyuranger, Louis Yamada LIII as Professor Shuichiro Amachi of Tensou Sentai Goseiger, and Kaoru Hirata as Yuka Yamazaki of Mahou Sentai Magiranger. Also, it looks like the kid from Ep.3 will be returning as well, for what reason is hard to say.

And confirmed to appear in the final episode (Ep.51 Farewell Space Pirates, 2/19):

Naoya Makoto, who played Tsuyoshi Kaijo/AkaRanger in Goranger, and who also appeared in the movie Go-Kaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Heroes. And we also have…

Atsushi Harada, who played Shou Tatsumi/GoGreen of GoGoV. He confirmed his appearance in the episode via Twitter.

Other rumored appearances include Yumi Sugimoto, who played Miu Sutou/Go-OnSilver in Go-Onger, and Keiya Asakura, who played Yohei Hama/BlueTurbo in Turboranger.

And finally, we end this post with some news and info on Go-Kaiger Vs. Gavan.

First, here’s a full trailer for the movie:

Next, we have a full summary for the movie:

The movie opens with the Gokai Galleon being attacked by Gavan’s ship. It’s a really nice scene that makes use of the added budget. Gai’s reaction when he realizes that it’s Gavan is priceless.
Gavan introduces himself and the Gokaigers protest that they were pretty much given the blessing of Dekaranger crew, but Gavan remains silent before kicking their five collective asses, arresting them, and delivering them to his superior.
Said superior turns out to be Zangyack in disguise, introduces Gavan Bootleg, and immediately tries to execute the pirates. Before they can, Gavan releases them and returns their changers. There’s a short-ish fight before the Gojyudrill makes its entrance and rescues the crew. Gavan, however, is captured and transported to the worst prison in the universe.
Back on the Galleon, Marvelous reveals that Gavan saved his life ten years ago, basically by giving him the courage to jump from a platform that was about to explode.
The stroll down memory lane is interrupted by Basco. He tells them about the space prison that Gavan is being held at, knowing that they’ll go off to rescue him and leave the Galleon unguarded. He leaves them alone to figure out how they’re going to get to the prison to rescue Gavan.
This is interrupted when Gavan comes walking down a path while talking to a giant Panda. Gai is quick to point out that it’s not Gavan, but Battle Kenya. About five seconds later, Denji Blue walks over. Luka thinks they both look like Gavan, but Gai denies it. Still, they get the idea to use the Battle Kenya and Denji Blue keys to open up a doorway to the space prison where Gavan is being held.
Once they break into the prison, they come across Jealoushito and some of the previous Super Sentai enemies. Having been in prison for awhile, they are a kind of horny and begin to lay flattery on Joe, Luka, Don, and Ahim.
Back on Earth, Basco is about to get aboard the unguarded Gokai Galleon, but is stopped by the Go-Busters team. He thinks they’re impostors, but they tell him that they’re the 36th and newest Super Sentai team, the Go-Busters. They fight Basco to a stalemate, but since Sally was distracted, they’re able to get the upper hand.
In the space prison, the Gokaigers free the inmates after encountering a large group of Gormin. Gai and Joe hold them off while the others go off to find Gavan, who is being tortured by Gavan Bootleg. The Zangyack use the portal technology to stall them.
Thanks to the portals, doors in the space prison now lead to other places in the universe. Luka and Doc wind up in Europe fighting an army made up of the family of the Big Brother/Little Brother Zangyak. Ahim winds up fighting another Zangyak general near an ocean.
Marvelous alone makes it through to the room where Gavan is being held. He fights Gavan bootleg and, using a ricochet technique that really need to be seen to be believed, frees Gavan, reversing the roles they were in ten years ago.
The split up team then breaks reality by shooting out the ground beneath their respective feet, reunite in the basement of the space prison, and use a Silver Charged rising strike through the “portals” that takes out most of the Zangyack generals and returns everyone to Earth. It’s hard to convey just how awesome this was.
Back on Earth, Gavan fights Gavan bootleg while the Gokaigers fight the Zangyack general. They use an all pink change, an all white change, and an all red change. Gavan bootleg is destroyed after being stabbed and sliced in half while an exploded car burns in the background.
Once the Zangyack general is defeated, he grows in size and has telekentic powers that he uses to shuffle buildings into GoJyuGokaiOh. Machfalcon joins the party and forms Kanzen GokaiOh, which then surfs around on the back of Gavan’s dragon.
Even THAT isn’t quite enough to put away the general, so Marvelous and Gavan do a combined Final Wave attack while standing on the head of the dragon (that is also carrying Kanzen GokaiOh). The combined Final Wave and GokaiOh attacks finally put away the general.
Afterwards, Gavan tells Marvelous that he’s happy to see what he’s become. Not just a pirate, but a good man. The former Battle Kenya and Denji Blue meet up with the crew. The Gokaigers return their respective keys to them and all transform. We see Gavan pose with Denji Blue and Battle Kenya while Gai flips out and asks for their autographs.

And for some very exciting news: it debuted at #2 at the Box Office, bringing in 159,227 people and grossing 160,750,000 Yen (2.06 million USD) in it’s opening weekend. So Congrats to them on that!

And with that, this post is finally finished! Do I expect this to be one of the last posts I do for Go-Kaiger? Not by a long shot! Especially since there’s still two episodes left, and they’ll also be in the upcoming Kamen Rider X Super Sentai: Superhero Taisen movie this Spring. Plus, they’re just too popular to completely let go of, so who knows what the future may bring for our beloved Space Pirates. But for now, just look forward to the finale!

New Samurai Toy Spottings: Blurring the lines between the Holiday Season and Season 2.

Since the new toy line announcement last week, people have started to see the new spring line pop up in stores just in time for the holidays (like that was an accident). Here’s some of the new toys that are on the shelves now (depending on where you live/shop), found by various users on Rangerboard.

First, from Toys’R’Us, we have this new Lantern/Spiderzord with a Super Gold Ranger figure:

Yeah, not sure where they came up with the spider concept either, but we have a Lantern zord now.

And here’s a few pics from Rangerboard member TheReverend7, which he took at his local Wal-Mart in Abilene, TX:

And this is what he took home:

And here’s a video demonstrating how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wsbkt5QpZI

And these next pics were taken by SPDRed222 at a Toys’R’Us in Cincinnati, OH:

And finally, we have a few pics from deadsilence1, from both a Wal-Mart in Brownville, TX and a Target in McAllen, TX:

So, have you seen any of these new toys in your local stores?

More Gobuster Scans: No big spoilers here, just more toy news.

Hey, some more scans from the same catalogue that the Gobuster reveal came out of. There’s no big spoilers this time, just some cool stuff that will be available when they start releasing toys for it. Let’s see what else will be available in the next few months:

This is a chart explaining the combination and transformation sequence to create Gobuster-Oh (I think). This is how they combine:

• Rabbit forms both arms, backs of the fist are the helicopter cockpit, forms the head, and other parts
• Gorilla forms both legs and body armor
• Go-BusterAce has clear sunglasses over his eyes
• Gorilla’s head attaches to the chest, Rabbit’s to the right shoulder, Cheetah’s to the left shoulder

Not sure what anything after that says.

RedBuster/Chida Niku set:
130mm figure of RedBuster, and a figure of Chida Niku that transforms into his bike/cockpit mode.

Ranger Key Series Ride and Go:
Minicars that go when reved up, and a Ranger Key inserted. 4 kinds are  listed so far. Red Buster Key w/Buster Machine Cheetah, BlueBuster Key  with Buster Machine Gorilla, GokaiRed Key with GokaiGalleon, and GokaiSilver Key with GojyuuDrill.

Super Sentai Best 01:
Sofubi figure set consisting of GoseiRed, ShinkenRed, GokaiRed, AkaRed, Go-onRed, and GekiRed

Uchuu Keiji Gavan Figure: 175 mm figure of Gavan.

And this is just the standard top game/character watch release that comes out with almost every Sentai series nowadays.

And that’s all of them, for now. If anything else comes out, I’ll let you know!

Tokumei Sentai Gobuster REVEALED!: Talk about a power you’ve never seen before. [Updated Three times]

They’re finally here! Here’s the first official images of the 36th Super Sentai Series Tokumei Sentai Gobuster!:

Here they are! From right to left, that’s YellowBuster and robot partner Usada Letas, RedBuster with Chida Nikku, and BlueBuster with Gorisaki Banana, and of course Gobuster-Oh in the background.

And this is their main henshin device, the (and I kid you not) Morphin’ Brace (sincerest apologies to the Mission Paneler for not making the cut). Apparently, it pops out the shades that the Gobusters where on their helmets. And from the looks of it, it come with interchangable disks for each Gobuster (think the Shinobi Medals from Hurricanger). And then there’s the thing on the bottom of the page, but I don’t know what it is, so let’s move on!

And here are two of their side-arms, the IchiganBuster, a camera that changes into a gun/blaster, and the SouganBlade, a sword that changes into a pair of binoculars. And from the looks of it, it seem that they do combine together to form one more powerful weapon.

And this is RedBuster’s mech, CB-01 Gobuster Ace. Looks like Chida Niku first turns into the head of the mech (GoseiKnight anyone?), and then attaches itself to the car shown above, then changes into a cheetah, and then changes into a single robot that can combine with the other two. A little complicated, but okay.

And the other two, Gorisaki Banana and Usada Letas combine with a BlueBuster’s truck GT-02 and YellowBuster’s helicopter RH-03, respectively, to form the auxillary gorilla and rabbit mechs. And when they all combine…

…You get Gobuster-Oh! Looks like a cross between SirenBuilder and Engine-Oh. (What is it time for? I can’t see, there’s a giant robot in the way.)

Anyway, today’s news isn’t entirely about Gobuster, because this was included with the leaked scans:

Whoa, that’s bigger than the others. It’s the new Legend Mobirate, apparently with 68 new sounds, a new gold-lined paint job, a Super Sentai databease, and a new AkaRed RangerKey! And it will be cheaper than the standard Mobirate!! And it looks like they’ll be releaseing three new RangerKey sets, which include full-team SunVulcan, Gaoranger, and of course Gobuster. Set for release in March.

My thoughts: On first impression, it looks good. At first, I was somewhat shocked by the new suit designs, mostly because they look like an outfit you’d where backpacking, but it works. I’d do like the new colored-shades look, and the helmet design is clean and simple. While I’ll admit that I had been looking forward to the Mission Paneler, I do like the pop-out shades gimmick of the Morhpin’ Brace (Saban, if you ever get to this series, please, for your sake and mine, keep that name!). From the look of that, and their equipment, it looks like the spy theme rumors might be true. And I guess with the new mechs that they wanted to retry the “Headder” concept from Goseiger, but it’s a nice looking Sentai mech. Th only thing I’m no sure of is their team logo. It’s a pair of shades over an ellipse that makes it look like a big “G”, and has the letters “BG” on the shades. It’s just a little too reminiscent of the Go-Onger logo for my tastes.

And of course, this post is full of good news, because along with this new preview and the new Mobirate news, it looks like the premiere date for the series is February 26th, which would put the official number of episode of Go-Kaiger at the rumored number of 52! Yay rumor confirmations!

If I find out any more, you can bet I’ll let you know!

Go-Kaiger Scans and Episode Summaries: Rise of the Dragon Slayer?

Yay! More new scans! This time, we have scans from upcoming episodes of Go-Kaiger, as well as some new episode summaries, and it looks like we’re going into two characters’ backstories. Meet the Princess and the Dragon Slayer!

Next week’s episode of Go-Kaiger, Ep.41, “Something I Don’t Want to Lose”,  Emperor Ackdos Gil enters the battlefield, setting after the Go-Kaigers for the death of his son. And along with him are two of his guards (seen above), Imperial Guards Dyrando ans Zatslig. After imprisoning Damaras for not protecting the Prince in battle, Zatslig, with a reputation for destroying whole worlds, goes on the attack. And Ahim is the one that goes after him, because Zatslig is the one who destroyed her home world of Famille and killed her parents, the King and Queen shown in the first scan, and saying that she has a grudge against him would be an understatement. We’ll also learn how she met Marvelous and why she became a Pirate.

And this scan come from the episode after, Ep.42, “The Strongest Man in Space”. In it, Ahim uncovers reports that would suggest that Don Dogoier/Hakase may have been a legendary warrior, known for slaying many dragons on many worlds. But Don has no memories of doing any of it. So, is he a great Dragon Slayer, or was he just an intergalatic cosplayer?

And this final scan reveals that the RangerKey toy line will continue into next year (2012), and that there will be a new toy to use with them. No word yet on which teams or senshi the new RangerKeys will be based on.

And that should be it for Go-Kaiger series stuff. Hopefully, we’ll get a glimpse of that new toy sometime soon.

Question for you: Any ideas on what the new RangerKey toy will be?

Jungle Fury tops Internet Toy searches: The King of the Jungle is reclaiming his crown! Too bad he’s got nothing to show for it.

So, did any of you catch the Power Rangers Jungle Fury marathon on Nicktoons over the weekend. I know I certainly did (in fact, it took up most of my Saturday). Well, probably one of the most interesting things to come out of the marathon had nothing to do with the show, but with a major boom in toy searches.

Over the weekend, toy searches for Power Rangers Jungle Fury skyrocketed, and top search on Saturday (11/19) was for the Bandai.com Power Rangers Jungle Fury website (which is still up, btw). This was according to newstaar.com, who, while also mentioning the current series Power Rangers Samurai, was apparently unaware of the fact that toys and general merchandise for Jungle Fury were no longer in production (you can still find stuff online, but nothing available in stores). But this is still a major victory for Saban Brands an their partnership with Nick. Why? Because within the three days that marathon ran for, they made one of the lowest rated Ranger series produced under Disney into an actual overnight sensation (it actually happened overnight, can you believe it?). I wouldn’t be surprised to find out later that they were going to do something like this again, only this time coinciding with the release of a new toy line like the Power Rangers Super Legends. I smell big money on the horizon. 😛

Power Rangers Samurai Spring Toy Line: Super Samurai Included!

Hey, a bunch of new Power Rangers Samurai toy pics showed up over the weekend for PRS’s Spring Line, and they include the Super Samurai figures, the new “Shark” Zord (Kyoryu Origami), and a bunch of other cool toys and figures! Looks like it’s going to be quite the shopping season. Let’s get to the good stuff!:

First, here’s the Super Samurai:

And here’s Pink and Yellow. Theye’re normal, but with modified weapons:

And here’s a new Master Xandred figure:

Also on the list are some re-releases of the auxilary zords, this time with new helmetless figures (attachable helmet included):

And now back to some new stuff. Mainly, the new Shark Zord:

Yep, that’s the relabel Kyoryu Origami, which includes what I’m guessing is a helmetless Jayden as the Shark Attack Ranger. Here’s a couple more pics:

Something about that new belt looks awfully familiar…                                                                  No time to dwell on that, though, we’ve got more figures to cover.

Like these new Super Samurai Morphin’ Figures:

Or how about these Mini Cycles:

Then there’s this new collection of Mega Ranger figures:

And there are some new Power Rangers plushes:

These plush action figures, called the Power Rangers Battlers, are 18in tall and are currently available:

And here’s the smaller, 10.5in versions:

And, since they have to keep up with current toy trends, here are some new Power Rangers Squinkies:

The entire collection of PRS Squinkes comes in three sets.

And those are the new toys that, for the most part, are out now (depends on where you look). Since this is technically the spring line, there’s a good chance that we might see more of it come out for the Holiday Shopping Season. I doubt they’ll reveal any more than they have here (in regards to stuff that will show up in the show in the future), but you never know what they’ll decide. We might even see a female Red Ranger figure show up. 😉

The Astro Switches might be fun, but would you like to wish upon the stars and become a Zodiart? Well now you can! Bandai will release the Kamen Rider Fourze Zodiarts Switch on March 19th, 2012!

The Switch, which let’s people change into Zodiarts in the show, weigh 300 grams and will be show size. It has several self-contained sounds, including the transformation sound, the “Last One” sound, and it can list of the name of the 20 currently known Zodiarts, which includes the 12 Zodiac Zodiarts.

Gobuster Toys Rumors: Brought to you today by the number “7”. :P

Along with the newly “leaked” costume design from the next Sentai series, Tokumei Sentai Gobuster, there seems to be new toy-related rumors circulating which include new figures, new weapons, and even a possible confirmation of the Misson Paneler. Here’s the skinny so far:

A toy site called Takarajima listed the first wave of figures, with seven new figures all together. According to current rumors, the first six figures are of the three primary Gobusters and their partners. The supposedly that’s GobusRed, GobusBlue, and GobusYellow, with their respective partners. The seventh figure is expected to be Gavan, with current rumors saying that Ohba Kenji will appear in the series, and will essentially be the Gobuster’s leader. And other rumors still point to the Mission Paneler as the main henshin device, and that they will each get two weapons.

Also listed on the toy site were collectible items, four were mentioned in particular. Here’s a pic:

Looks like somthing for each of the figures. Could these be connected to the Mission Paneler, like the RangerKeys to the Mobirates? Or are these just little collectibles? Assuming that this is related to the mentioned collectibles, then that’s a real possibility.
