WolzaPhone Memorial Edition: Magiranger's Dark Magic Knight Gets a Collector Remake
Premium Bandai's WolzaPhone Memorial Edition remakes Magiranger's dark-magic rival device with over 30 spell sounds and new dialogue recorded by Wolzard's original voice actor.
The Rival's Device Gets Its Turn
Following the earlier release of the MagiPhone -MEMORIAL EDITION-, Premium Bandai has announced a companion piece from Mahou Sentai Magiranger's collector line: the Black Magic Cellphone WolzaPhone -MEMORIAL EDITION-. Where the MagiPhone represented the show's core heroic team, the WolzaPhone belongs to Wolzard, the series' rival knight — giving Magiranger's darker, morally complicated antagonist-turned-ally character his own premium collector treatment.
What Makes This a Genuine Upgrade
This isn't a simple recolor of the MagiPhone mold. The WolzaPhone Memorial Edition ships with a massive sound library covering more than 30 individual magic spells, and critically, newly recorded dialogue performed by Tsutomu Isobe, the original voice actor behind Wolzard. Bringing back the original voice talent for new recordings, rather than reusing archived show audio, is the kind of detail that separates a true collector-grade memorial release from a basic reissue.
Three Transformation Modes
Functionally, the WolzaPhone supports three distinct modes: Mobile Mode, Phone Mode, and Wand Mode, mirroring the multi-purpose transformation gimmick the MagiPhone used in the original series. Visually, the two devices are nearly identical in base design, with the key differentiator being the insignia — where the MagiPhone carries an "M" for Magiranger, the WolzaPhone replaces it with sharp "W" markings, echoing the golden W emblem seen on Wolzard's chestplate in the show.
Pricing and Availability
The WolzaPhone -MEMORIAL EDITION- is priced at 16,500 yen (tax included), with shipment scheduled for September 2026. Preorders were accepted through Premium Bandai until May 31, 2026 at 23:00 JST, meaning collectors who missed the original preorder window will need to watch secondary listings or a potential restock announcement rather than order directly.
Why Wolzard Fans Wanted This
Wolzard occupies a distinct place in Magiranger's story as a rival knight whose arc moves from antagonist to ally, giving the character more depth than a typical one-note Sentai villain. For fans who followed that arc, a premium device release with the character's original actor providing new spell dialogue is a meaningful way to revisit that story beat, not just add another prop to a shelf. It also continues a pattern — alongside the Gaoranger Juoken and G-Phone memorial releases — of Premium Bandai systematically working through beloved 2000s-era Sentai devices for the adult collector market.
