In 1979, four years after the last live-action Ultraman series had left the airwaves, Tsuburaya Productions decided to take their giant hero franchise into a new arena with The☆Ultraman, the first animated entry into the beloved Ultra Series. Now, for the first time, US audiences will be able to catch the show on television, thanks […]
Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Final is the latest installment in the world of Kamen Rider movies. Of course, now that Kamen Rider Build is out, he is our main protagonist, and on top of that, as is standard for these movies, he receives a movie-exclusive form (though it’s rumored to perhaps be appearing in the […]
Wedding bells are ringing for the dump truck-driving psychic superhero Nakamura Chise, as the actress announces this week that she has tied the knot. Nakamura starred as Natsuki aka BoukenYellow from the 2006 tokusatsu series GoGo Sentai Boukenger, where her quirky character stumbled into rescuing her teammates through many a strange and daunting adventure.

Do you like the Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger TV series? Do you like the SODO toy line? Well then this set… is still pretty terrible, I can’t recommend it at all. Yudo is the Super Sentai franchise’s attempt at matching the success of Kamen Rider‘s SODO line, but with a fourth of the figures, half the […]
Kamen Rider Build‘s fourth entrance into the SODO toy line is probably its least exciting yet, though still not bad.

In fairness, […]

Ultraman Geed, the 29th incarnation of the long-running Ultra Series, has ended. And as we await Tsuburaya Productions’ next entry into the ongoing kaiju-fighting super-franchise, we thought it might be fun to take a look back on the 2017 story with a handy collection. We’ve amassed quite a lot of pictures from the giant hero […]
Kamen Rider Build‘s first major upgrade form is Rabbit Tank Sparkling! The show’s toy line celebrates this new form with one of its first deviations from the standard Full Bottle gimmick. This “soda can” functions similarly to the Cross Dragon, having its own lights and sounds that work in tandem with the Build Driver to […]
