Release Date: May 2026 RRP: 5280 yen Arguably one of the most common criticisms of the S.H. Figuarts line is that there could always be more accessories. For the most part Bandai Tamashii Nations do a good job of providing all the essentials, but photographers and/or those with a larger display space quite often have to look elsewhere for generic scenario-based parts. Every so often Bandai throws…
Release Date: April 2026 RRP: $34.99/£34.99 It's strange to think that back when the Studio Series first started tackling characters from Transformers: The Movie the film was celebrating its 35th anniversary, and now here we are five years later celebrating its 40th. In that time the line has gone from strength to strength, but some of those first releases still remain its best. And since you…
Release Date: June 2026 RRP: 9900 yen Marvel vs Capcom fever continues over at Bandai Tamashii Nations with the third release in its revamped Marvel Gamerverse line-up - S.H. Figuarts Wolverine (Gamerverse) ! As the only character to appear in all of the original six Capcom 2D fighting games ( X-Men: Children of the Atom , Marvel Super Heroes , X-Men vs Street Fighter , Marvel Super Heroes vs…
Release Date: June 2026 RRP: 13,200 yen With Ultraman celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2026, Bandai Tamashii Nations have been pulling from all corners of the franchise for this year’s S.H. Figuarts offerings. As well as reissues and brand-new releases from the Showa, Heisei and New Generation eras, some of the more interesting choices have come from movies – the likes of Ultraman Saga, Hyper…
Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity may have been a loving tribute to one of their most iconic tokusatsu superhero series, but for the second instalment in Project R.E.D. Toei seem to be trying something new. Channelling the likes of Monster Hunter and Pokémon , Kakuseihunter Omegahorn turns the focus slightly away from transforming superheroes and brings kaiju to the forefront of the series. With…
It wasn't all that long ago tokusatsu fans were bidding a fond farewell to Super Sentai , and now the first instalment of its replacement has drawn to a close. Towards the end of 2025 Toei announced that taking the place of Super Sentai would be Project R.E.D. (" Records of Extraordinary Dimensions ") - an ambitious new project primarily featuring red-coloured heroes as well as continuity between…
Release Date: May 2026 RRP: 4400 yen Whilst Bandai Tamashii Nations may have completed the Straw Hat crew as they appeared in the Romance Dawn Arc, that doesn't mean they're slowing down on One Piece S.H. Figuarts any time soon. As well as continuing forward with a number of figures based on the Marineford Arc, they are also expanding the pre-time skip era with additional Straw Hat members that…
Release Date: March 2026 RRP: 12,100 yen There are plenty of Kamen Riders that are super popular amongst fans, but few are so popular that they have a whole day dedicated to them. Every 13th September the Kamen Rider fandom celebrates Kaixa Day , honouring the utterly despicable yet somehow loveable character that is Masato Kusaka . 2025's Kaixa Day came with a particularly special announcement,…
Release Date: June 2026 RRP: £44.99 The Doctor Who action figure line has slowly but surely been building itself back up through a range of online exclusives that feature more new/upgraded tooling when compared to the B&M store exclusive retail figures, now culminating in its most ambitious wave in years. Over the next five months Character Options will be release one new figure set a month in…
It doesn't really feel like that long ago that Ultraman was celebrating its 55th anniversary, but the last five years have clearly flown by and now the franchise is in the midst of its 60th birthday. And whilst there sadly might not be a big budget movie like Shin Ultraman to commemorate the milestone this time around, that doesn't mean Tsuburaya Productions aren't going to celebrate the occasion.…
Release Date: April 2026 RRP: 12,000 yen Given its immense popularity across the globe, it's amazing that it's taken this long for articulated Cyberpunk Edgerunners figures to happen. But as tends to be the case with these things, you patiently wait for one and then suddenly multiple options come at once. With Jada Toys ' offerings are the cheaper end of the spectrum and ThreeZero's FigZero line…
Release Date: April 2026 RRP: 8800 yen It's been nearly ten years since Bandai Tamashii Nations closed the curtain on the Ultra-Act line and integrated Ultraman into the S.H. Figuarts line, and in that time they've come pretty close to covering all of the titular heroes from the franchise's 60 year history. With the last few years having yielding the trinity of Tiga , Dyna and Gaia in the…
Release Date: April 2026 RRP: 11,000 yen Naturally Kamen Rider 1 and Kamen Rider 2 (aka the "Double Riders") have been a staple of the S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou range since near its beginning, and over the years various versions of their iconic suits have frequented the line. It has however previously been far more Kamen Rider 1 focused - the numerous retail versions of his final "New" suit…
Release Date: October 2025 RRP: $39.99 Blokees' Neon Genesis Evangelion range is among some of its most popular items, which is quite impressive for a company that has gathered so many licenses under its belt in a few short years. Their Action Edition model kit range has already covered all of the core Units from the Rebuild of Evangelion films, as well as some TV series editions and the pilots…
Release Date: November 2025 RRP: 8800 yen The 30th anniversary of Neon Genesis Evangelion has brought with it a whole host of new figures from a variety of companies, with the pilots proving to be just as much a focus as the Evangelion Units themselves. The franchise has been a staple in Bandai Tamashii Nations lines like Robot Spirits and Metal Build for some time, but at long last they’ve done…
Release Date: April 2026 RRP: 12,100 yen Bandai Tamashii Nations have been doing a fantastic job bringing nearly as many kaiju to the Ultraman S.H. Figuarts range as they have Ultras, as well as covering some unexpected areas of the franchise alongside the mainline series. One great example of this was Ultraman Saga , star of the 2012 film (and 45th anniversary celebration of the Ultra Series ) of…
Release Date: March 2026 RRP: 9900 yen The last few years have seen quite the revival of Capcom 's various Marvel Comics -themed fighting games, not just thanks to their re-release on Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics but also a number of figure releases to go alongside it. Not content with letting Hasbro have all the fun in the Marvel Legends line, Bandai Tamashii Nations…
Space Sheriff Gavan proved popular enough that not only was a sequel series put into production during its run, Gavan would also lead directly into said series with its protagonist appearing as a guest character beforehand. Thus episode 42 of Gavan introduced the audience to Den Iga , a forest patrolman who was fatally wounded and taken to Planet Bird for recovery. When he returned two episodes…
Release Date: April 2026 RRP: 9900 yen Bandai Tamashii Nations may only have a handful of Kamen Riders from the Showa and Heisei Phase 1 eras left to release in the S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou line, but with how highly in demand some of these figures have gotten over the years reissues are certainly never a bad thing - especially when Bandai take the opportunity to slightly improve on them…
Super Sentai may be on indefinite hiatus as far as further series are concerned, but that doesn't mean the franchise has completely run out of steam yet. Thanks to platforms like the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club streaming service that's still plenty of opportunities to tell more stories through the likes of mini-series and one-off specials, with more from No.1 Sentai Gozyuger among the first of its…
Release Date: September 2025 RRP: $49.99 Over the last few years Chinese company Blokees have taken the toy collecting world by storm, wowing buyers with their range of affordable yet accurate articulated model kits and blind box figurines. The number of licenses they’ve gathered in this time is equally impressive, with the likes of Transformers , Pokemon , Marvel , Ultraman , Kamen Rider ,…
Release Date: February 2026 RRP: 9350 yen Super Sentai may be on hiatus as far as the show is concerned, but that doesn't mean Bandai still don't have 50 years' worth of shows to make further merchandise from. Since it's grand return to the S.H. Figuarts line back in 2022 Tamashii Nations have put out a select few characters each year, and while it's not quite the same as the full teams they put…
Release Date: December 2025 RRP: 12,000 yen As Trigger ’s first full-length original television series Kill la Kill holds a special place in many anime fans’ hearts, but there’s no denying that the show was majorly underserved when it comes to articulated figures. Figma led the charge with battle versions of Ryuko and Satsuki in 2014 and 2015 respectively, but even they took a further five years…
Release Date: February 2026 RRP: 14,850 yen There are many kaiju in the Ultraman franchise that have proved more than a match for the giants of light, but very few have had quite the success rate on their debut as Birdon . First appearing in episodes 17 to 19 (the first kaiju to ever feature in a three-part story) of Ultraman Taro , the "Volcanic Bird Monster" made short work of the insectoid…
A big anniversary for a long-running franchise is always a good excuse to look back on and celebrate where it all began, but what about going even further back to before the beginning? This is how the GARO franchise decided to celebrate its 20th anniversary, with the release of GARO: Taiga - a brand-new feature film starring a Taiga Saejima , father to Kouga (and grandfather to Raiga) whose time…
