Tokusatsu heroes rarely get the premium S.H.Figuarts treatment outside of the biggest Kamen Rider and Super Sentai names, which makes Tamashii Nations' confirmation of S.H.Figuarts Gavan Infinity worth flagging on its own. The figure, based on the tokusatsu series Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity, is scheduled for release in August 2026 at 8,250 yen tax included, built around a metallic paint job and a genuinely loaded set of transformation-specific accessories.
Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity is a multiverse-spanning remake that pulls some of its setting from the original 1982 Toei tokusatsu series Space Sheriff Gavan, following protagonist Reiji Osugi as he transforms into Gavan Infinity and travels between different versions of Earth working alongside local Gavans and police to fight crime. For longtime tokusatsu fans, getting this specific character in S.H.Figuarts quality, rather than a smaller-scale toy line, is the kind of release that does not come around often.
This guide covers what is confirmed about the figure directly from dedicated Japanese toy press, what makes the accessory set genuinely interesting rather than just decorative, and how to think about protecting and displaying it once it ships.
The following is confirmed via Tamashii Nations' own product reveal, reported directly by dedicated Japanese collector press:
The figure uses precise sculpting and transfer printing across the body armor and its white pattern detailing, rather than a simpler single-tone paint application, which is part of why the metallic finish is being called out specifically in early coverage.
Two included accessories stand out beyond a standard weapon-and-stand loadout. The Gavarion Trigger functions as both the character's transformation item and a shooting weapon, and the figure's version replicates its left-right opening mechanism along with the ability to detach and reattach the Emotion Battery, a functional-feeling detail rather than a static sculpted prop. The melee weapon, the Gavarion Blade, includes a clear plastic blade part and recreates the mechanism for detaching and reattaching the Galactic Federal Police Handbook, with a dedicated part included specifically to recreate the scene of presenting the handbook.
That level of mechanism-replicating detail on both weapons, rather than one hero prop and a generic accessory, is a strong signal that Tamashii Nations is treating this as a flagship-tier release for the character rather than a secondary line entry.
The figure draws on the articulation design technology S.H.Figuarts has developed across the line over many years, with joint designs built to minimize visible gaps in the armor while still allowing a wide range of motion. That combination is specifically aimed at letting collectors recreate both transformation poses and combat poses from the source series, rather than a figure that looks good standing still but fights the joints when posed dynamically.
Space Sheriff Gavan holds a specific place in tokusatsu history as one of Toei's formative Metal Hero franchise entries from the early 1980s, and getting a modern S.H.Figuarts treatment of a multiverse-remake version of the character extends the line's reach beyond the Kamen Rider and Super Sentai releases that usually dominate its tokusatsu coverage. For collectors who have wanted broader Metal Hero representation in premium figure form, this release is a meaningful signal that Tamashii Nations sees demand beyond the two flagship franchises.
EVORETRO does not currently carry a protector sized specifically for this figure's packaging, and Tamashii Nations does not offer a dedicated aftermarket box protector for individual S.H.Figuarts releases either. What EVORETRO does carry is general figure protection and display gear sized close to standard S.H.Figuarts packaging, which is a reasonable stand-in even without an exact-fit box protector, though it is worth checking against the actual box once it ships.
For collectors who want to keep this figure sealed or protect the box before deciding whether to display it loose, a PET protector sized for similarly scaled Japanese figure packaging is worth checking against the box once official dimensions are available, since exact fit can vary between S.H.Figuarts lines.
With two detailed weapon accessories plus the figure itself, this release has more individual pieces than a typical single-figure box. Acrylic display risers give Gavan Infinity and its weapons separate, elevated spots rather than crowding everything onto the same flat shelf surface, and a multi-step display stand lets you stagger it alongside other tokusatsu or anime figures at different heights.
If you are planning to protect or display this figure once it ships, these EVORETRO products are a practical starting point:
Expected in August 2026, priced at 8,250 yen tax included, per Tamashii Nations' official reveal.
Approximately 145mm (14.5cm), made of pre-painted PVC and ABS.
The Gavarion Trigger (transformation item and shooting weapon with a detachable Emotion Battery) and the Gavarion Blade (melee weapon with a clear blade part and detachable Galactic Federal Police Handbook mechanism).
It is based on Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity, a multiverse remake that draws on some settings from the original 1982 Toei series but follows a new protagonist, Reiji Osugi.
S.H.Figuarts Gavan Infinity is a rare premium-tier release for a tokusatsu hero outside the usual Kamen Rider and Super Sentai coverage, backed by genuinely functional-feeling weapon accessories and a metallic paint job built to stand out on a shelf. Whether you already collect Metal Hero merchandise or this is your introduction to the franchise, the accessory detail here is worth planning display space around before it arrives in August.
