Here's the big pile of Bandai's boys' toku offerings for mid year. And other stuff sprinkled in. Boukenger's Siren Builder, rumor has it, is composed of a police car, fire engine, and ambulance. Super Daibouken gets a box set release.

Since it's closing in on warm weather, and Kabuto is pretty hot, Bandai is reissuing the two Mugenbine beetles as a set. Kamen Rider Gatack (romanization is my guess) is the latest anti hero (and stag beetle) to complement Kabuto. Riders Caucasus, Hercules, and Centaurus (all beetles of various varieties) debut for the summer KR movie.

The two Ultraman Moebius Guys Machine ships combine to form GunPhoenix, but adding the third GunBooster gets you GunPhoenix Striker. Did I mention those ships proudly bear the Popynica name? They're very big and metal-heavy. Quite nice indeed. I presume Phoenix Nest is a base playset, but it's Popynica, too, so maybe it'll be more vehicle-ish than base-ish.
