Dem black repaints. Ah well. Might have some interest in the Black Prime. If it's black, teal, and red.

Takara Tomy has updated their website with a picture of the previously listed G01 Kenzan and G05 Gekisomaru. Gekisomaru is available through Aeon Toy Department while Kenzan is available through Toys 'R' Us Japan nationwide. They are both available mid November. Below is the picture they provided.

Sa-weet!

The full names of these two are:
"Kenzan Kuro Musha Ver." (Kenzan Black Warrior Ver.)
"Gekisoumaru Kuro Shishi Ver." (Gekisoumaru Black Lion Ver.)

According to the text, these are specially-coated powered up forms these two take when using the illusionary powers of the "Black Legendisc".

With a black-colored Goradora having recently shown up in the cartoon as a powered up form (despite there currently being no toy of one), I wonder if these might show up as powered up forms for these two in the show as well.

There's something wrong with this news and this news. Neither are showing up on the front page's main news section.

I'm happy to see figures other than Optimus Prime receiving black repaints. However I have no desire for either of these characters in black.

I'll be over here, wishing they weren't so freaking expensive! I love the Shinobi team, but I just can't justify it.
