This week,

• Toys R Us.com lists SH Figuarts ShinkenRed and Gold for $34.99 each - but are out of stock. May be available in stores, but we really doubt it.
  
  • Similarly, Amazon is currently selling Figuarts Kabuto and Masked Rider Warrior Leader (or Kamen Rider 1, if you prefer) along with preorders for MonsterArts Godzilla and MechaGodzilla, and Figuarts Vegeta. They’re at least giving US distribution of Figuarts a half decent try this time!
• Saban has reacquired the rights to Saban’s masked Rider, and Ninja Turtles The Next Mutation. Will they be joining Power Rangers, VR Troopers, and Beetleborgs on Netflix?
• Magazine scans show two exclusive Riders for this winter’s Movie Wars, and other scans spoil the heck out of some upcoming Gokaiger episodes.
• In sadder news, Gardner Baldwin, known for playing Grimlord/Carl Ziktor in VR Troopers passed away early this month. You can read his obituary here.
• Power Playback is our first foray in to the never-ending story of Den-O. …and then we end up talking about Digimon somehow. Guess the Pokemon needed a break.
