Talk About a SPD Emergancy! More Figuarts Selling Out

Hello again everyone! It shouldn't be a surprise by now that many of Bandai's S.H.Figuarts tend to sell out online rather quickly, especially when concerned with super heroes. Well, this time is no exception it seems. Last night we were granted with a quartet of new Sentai Figuarts which are already going fast. Let's take a look at the quickly disappearing lineup.

From the generally under-appreciated SPD series comes it's red ranger. For those who are unfamiliar, Dekaranger/SPD is another police Sentai group, much like Lightspeed Rescue or Time Force. What makes SPD unique is that their leader is a dog alien who also morphs, somehow fitting his big snout in a regular-size helmet. Anyway, Deka Red comes with his SPD morpher, three different blasters (the SPD signature weapon), and a pair of handcuffs. Having been re-watching Power Rangers while watching Linkara's History of Power Rangers series, I almost forgot how enjoyable SPD was. To me, SPD was the final series before the "Disney-era" of Power Rangers began to seriously decline.

Deka Red is due to come out at the end of June. He is currently sold out on both Amiami and Hobby Search, but hopefully he'll be up for order on Big Bad Toy Store soon.

From the Sentai and otaku culture parody series Akiba Ranger comes the whole team of Akiba Red, Akiba Blue, and Akiba Yellow. Each one comes with a blaster, and Akiba Red also comes with some sort of clamp weapon. I haven't checked out Akiba Ranger yet since I'm still catching up on Kamen Rider before I move over to Sentai, but I hear it's extremely amusing, full of references for Sentai fans and satire of the otaku culture.

The Akiba Rangers are set to come out with Deka Red at the end of June. They are sold out on Amiami as well, but luckily they are still available on Hobby Search, so act fast if you want them!
