Release Date: August 2026 RRP: 8250 yen The inaugural Project R.E.D. S.H. Figuarts release has arrived! Whilst Toei’s new tokusatsu venture may have replaced Super Sentai on television screens, it appears that there’s still room for them both over at Bandai Tamashii Nations . S.H. Figuarts Gavan Infinity arrives as a general retail release a few months after the end of Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity , although with the characters still a prominent part of Kakusei Omegahorn that certainly won’t be the last we see of the shiny red combat suit. Bandai have seemingly (and perhaps overconfidently) gone all-in on the initial release of the Gavan Infinity Figuarts too – with both Gavan Bushido and Gavan Luminous following in the coming months also as retail items.

Release Date: August 2026 RRP: 8800 yen Although we've now entered the time of Kamen Rider My-Th , Bandai Tamashii Nations still have plenty left to do with Kamen Rider Zeztz as far as the S.H. Figuarts line is concerned - with their third release in the range finally stepping beyond the titular character. Rather wisely side-stepping the rather anti-climactic Nox Knight in favour of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Nox , the latest Zeztz  release continues the recent trend of secondary and tertiary Riders being Tamashii Web exclusives . Thankfully this trend seems to be coming to an end with the recent announcement that My-Th 's Kamen Rider Maou is going to be a retail release, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating that this has been the case for the last five or so years.

Between the likes of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger , Tokusatsu Gagagaga ,   The High School Heroes  and Wingman , shows that celebrate the medium of tokusatsu and act as a love letter to all things henshin heroes come in many different shapes and sizes. However, rarely to they also celebrate the way in which they are released. To mark the tenth anniversary of the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club streaming service, Toei  produced Forticus: Stream! The Heirs to Their Favourite Hero  - a one-off hour-long special debuting a brand new hero. Directed by Koichi Sakamoto and written by Junichiro Ashiki (a veteran writer for the Ultraman franchise, most notably working on Trigger , Decker , Omega  and the Ultra Galaxy Fight specials), Forticus pays homage to Toei's decades of tokusatsu production in its own unique way.

Release Date: May 2026 RRP: $42.99/£34.99 With Studio Series Thundercracker's release earlier in the year the floodgates were open for a whole new range of Seekers - undoubtedly the biggest retool/redeco weapon in the Transformers arsenal. With the Transformers: The Movie 40th anniversary celebrations well underway Hasbro haven't waited long to get all the heavy-hitters out on the market either, with Studio Series Skywarp showing up at retail only a few months after Thundercracker. Despite only having a limited appearance in the movie (and one that ultimately ended in his death/reformatting), this fan favourite Decepticon was an obvious choice to join the ever-popular Studio Series.

Super Sentai ’s 50th anniversary celebrations may have been somewhat marred by the announcement of its indefinite hiatus, but No.1 Sentai Gozyuger still offered plenty of opportunity to see the franchise out (at least for the time being anyway) in style. First there was the series itself, then the Summer movie , and finally the annual crossover movie to round it all off. No.1 Sentai Gozyuger vs Boonboomger is the 31st and potentially final entry in the long-running VS series , pairing the 50th Super Sentai team up with Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger as well as featuring some familiar faces from previous series. The film was written by Tatsuto Higuchi (who previously wrote episodes for both series) and directed by Shojiro Nakazawa , a veteran of the franchise whose credits go all the way back to Mirai Sentai Timeranger .

Release Date: June 2026 RRP: $99.99/£91.99 After Hasbro spoiled Transformers fans in 2025 with the release of both Devastator and Superion in the Studio Series and Age of the Primes lines respectively, 2026 is definitely the year of Bruticus . After teasing collectors last year with Vortex , the rest of the Combaticons have been steadily releasing over the last few months. Next came Brawl and Blast Off , with Age of the Primes Onslaught next in line before Swindle rounds off the team. The leader of the Combaticons comes as as a Commander Class  figure, not only due to his own larger size but also incorporating the Bruticus combiner frame parts in the same manner Motormaster and Silverbolt did for their respective teams.
