#shin japan heroes universe

[astoundingbeyondbelief]

A Shin Japan Heroes Universe animation Bandai released to announce a vague "new item project." Posted on April 1, for what it's worth, but there's nothing that really indicates it's a prank.

Poor Kamen Rider, he's definitely the Hawkeye of the team.

S.J.H.U PROJECT Shin Universe Robo

This. Is the most ridiculous Megazord ever created. Like, I know they've done Disney ones and stuff like that, but this takes the cake for me. It's just all these different Toku properties (and Eva) that aren't Sentai, but it's also, like, Kamen Rider, which has done a lot of crossovers, Ultraman, who has in the distant past but is really a rival, and Godzilla, who is Godzilla, and my all-time favorite movie. It's just. So. Weird.

The Good: All the big boys are a little posable. Evo-01 and Ultraman have very similar levels of posability, and a fitting accessory with stand. Goji's is mostly instrumental to the combined mode's articulation, but he has a lot in the legs, a mouth, and up-and-down arms. And then Ichigo is a motorcycle. No posability, but has a little standee to prop him up.

The combined mode has way more posability than I expected. Neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, butterfly, hips, ton in the knees, ankles; I thought this was going to be a pre-45 Megazord brick, but I was very impressed. The transformation is also pretty neat. Everyone comes apart into multiple pieces, and the accessories are required, but it's still a fun experience.

The Bad: This is a novelty piece, and it feels like it. Like, the transformation's fun, but doesn't hold together well. The posability is high, but the small feet and odd sculpt get in the way of it looking really good. It goes together easy, but pulling it apart can be pretty scary. I almost wish it was a brick if it would make it more solid and more fun to transform. But, like I said, this figure is mostly a novelty, and a fun one.

Overall, it's not the best, but I expected that going in. It does more than I thought it would, but has all the issues I thought it would and a few more. But as I said, it is a novelty piece, and that's why I bought it. I bought it because it's a weird Megazord made up of a bunch of odd Tokusatsu properties that are only connected because the same guy directed all their recent films. It's silly, it's crazy, it's fun, and that's why you buy it.

This week in Toku, Vac and Buster talk about P Bandai being dicks, Dogengers being amazing & Ultraman Regulos being fine.

HEY BANDAI WHAT THE FUCK

Watched Shin Ultraman the other day and man, it was so good. So fun. Seriously, if you have any interest in superhero, scifi, and/or kaiju movies, watch that film. It's great.

Just got back from Shin Kamen Rider

And here are my initial thoughts: Wow! I enjoyed that a lot. Much like Shin Ultraman, Shin Kamen Rider is an abbreviated take on the first series of the classic tokusatsu franchise updated with some twists and surprising differences.

I was actually not prepared for the opening sequence, which involves Hongo Takeshi's escape from the facility where he was turned into the half-man/half-bug hero. It begins pretty in media res with an exciting chase scene that leads to a surprisingly, almost shockingly, bloody fight sequence that would not be out of place in Kamen Rider Amazons/Amazon Riders.

There is a great amount of obvious love for the 1971 original dripping from the screen with classic villains reimagined (of course the first two foes he faces are the Spider and the Bat), music cues and updated but very classic technology.

As with their previous two live-action Shin versions of classic Tokusatsu franchises, it is clear Anno and Higuchi are having the time of their lives playing around with the toys of their youth in new and exciting ways. Some of the massive standouts for me were the bizarre but brief sequence involving the Scorpion Lady monster and the brilliant new take on Hachi-Onna (Wasp Woman) who may be my favorite villain of the entire film.

This an Anno film though and he cannot resist tossing in some truly weird ideas and getting incredibly introspective. I have heard numerous complaints about the weird Water Memory scenes from 2006's Kamen Rider The First and this might just one up that with one of the central conceits of the entire film. Mind you, this is a MUCH better film than The First with a much more consistent tone and more balls to the wall Rider action but you do have to take the odd mystical stuff with the awesome.

This was a good way to round out the Shin Japan Heroes series (if this is indeed the last film of that loose grouping) and I had an amazing time. I will not say anything about the ending BUT if you do see it when it runs for its second showing on June 5 (and you should if you at all can) stay past the ending credits for a special 50th Anniversary treat.

Ok, minor spoiler after the cut here... I just had to gush for a second.

They found a neat way to work in the Shocker Riders and it made me grin from ear the ear and cackle like a madwoman!
