Armor Plus Samurai Troopers: Black Kikoutei
 

I searched, but didn't find any threads about this.

Beginning today, 2/25/2014 pre-orders will begin for Mukara of the Sun, bearer of the Black Kikoutei - the dark twin to Ryo's White Kikoutei armor.

Mukara and the Black Kikoutei armor debuted in the 4 part OVA series "Kikoutei Densetsu".

Mukara will be the first figure from the Samurai Trooper line to feature a completely new body (his armor forms directly onto his body, which means they couldn't re-use the undergear body from previous releases. Mukara will come with his signature weapon, which is a over sized black boomerang and a armor stand similar to the previous releases.

Expected to ship late July 2014, and priced at 9,180 Yen.

Not something we cover here, but cool nonetheless.

Holy mother of...

This just makes me even more sad that I missed out on the whole freakin' line.

Yet still no Dark Lords at that. Bandai sure is taking their time on this.

It's rummored that Bandai is "testing the waters" with this release to see if it's viable for them to release figures beyond the core 5 Samurai Troopers. If Black Kikoutei sells well, then that opens the door for the villians.
