S.H.Figuarts (SHINKOCCHOU SEIHOU) AKARENGER Super Sentai 50th Anniversary Ver.
AKARENGER, the legendary hero who shines in the history of Super Sentai!
It's been 50 years since "Himitsu Sentai Goranger" began airing in 1975, and in the anniversary year of 2025 AKARENGER will finally be made using SHINKOCCHOU SEIHOU. This is the first Showa era production to combine SHINKOCCHOU SEIHOU and Super Sentai, and it is also a character that symbolizes the 50-year history of the series.
As with previous SHINKOCCHOU SEIHOU Series, sculptor Hibiki Nagashio created a skeleton, muscle, and immobile model for AKARENGER. This time, three models (pictured above) were created based on footage and materials from the original film, and these were then incorporated into the action figures to create movement.
AKARENGER was also commercialized in 2014 with the regular S.H.Figuarts. The 2014 version is also complete enough to play with, but now with SHINKOCCHOU SEIHOU, the proportions and suit modeling have been completely redesigned."AKARENGER at the time of broadcast"It can be seen that it has been refined to.
Now let us introduce another element pursued in SHINKOCCHOU SEIHOU: detail.
The mask is precisely sculpted down to the protruding hinge at the top of the head and the metal fittings on the belt on either side of the jaw. The five colored stars on the buckle are also color-coded, and the shape of the belt at the back of the waist, which fastens in two rows above and below, is also reproduced.
The cloak, a feature of "Goranger", is also one of the details of this item. It is made of cloth, including the collar.Wire built into the backBy doing this, you can freely create a fluttering movement.The yellow V on the chest is made of soft material.This dramatically expands the range of actions available (see below).
Making item into SHINKOCCHOU SEIHOU"Combining mobility and appearance"Let's take the arms as an example. This is particularly difficult for Super Sentai, which has many suit designs that fit the body, but by placing an appropriate movable structure for each part, as shown in the image above,"The natural twist of the human body"Furthermore, by matching the wrinkles on the suit with the shape of each part, AKARENGER can maintain a beautiful silhouette even when posed.
"All five of you, Gorenger!!"
The combination of these movable structures and soft materials allows for"Put your fists together in front of your chest," "Raise your arms diagonally upwards," "Push your arms forward"Poses such as these can be made naturally.
Of course, the wide range of motion covers the entire body. Poses with a low center of gravity, such as a crouched stance or kneeling stance, as seen in Gorenger Hurricane, can be perfectly achieved with the movement of the lower body that follows the structure of the human body. There are 8 types of left and 10 types of right interchangeable wrists (total of 18)"Thumbs up."This program will introduce latest items from"Pointing", right before taking out Red Butte"Right hand holding an eye mask"Also included.
Some of the included equipment is similar to that of the 2014 version, but the technological advances that have been made over the past 11 years and the detailed updates made possible by SHINKOCCHOU SEIHOU are also a highlight. For example, the small rocket boosters "Birdie" on both hips areThe 2014 version was a "replacement of the entire belt" system, but this item is a "replacement of birdie parts" system.This makes it easier to play.
The shape of "Silver Shot" is sharper. The holster can be recreated in two different states: "empty" and "Silver Shot stored (fixed)". The fastening belt is a separate part."The belt is floating when empty" and "The belt is fastened when stored."It represents the state of things more realistically.
The "Red Butte" is now made of string material, and the "Yari Butte" has been enlarged to a size that exceeds the height of AKARENGERThe size of the Yalibute was derived from the examination of the main footage.
The Red Bute can be folded and held, or you can use TAMASHII STAGE (sold separately) to raise the tip like a whip, or you can roll it up and hold it on your wrist as shown in the image, and enjoy a variety of different ways to play with it.
A rugby ball-shaped bomb appears in the middle of the story"End Ball"By replacing the parts, the wings can be deployed after AKARENGER kicks.
in this way,"Super Sentai 50th Anniversary Ver."Befitting its name, the latest in mobility and modeling technology has been poured into the legendary Red who was active 50 years ago.
