Toy Robot Video's Mike Hewitt commented: "We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new home entertainment video label across the US, Canada and the UK. With a resurgent interest in Physical Media, especially amongst younger film fans, Toy Robot Video is intended to be a fun and inclusive label, designed to complement our core Arrow Video brand, spreading the joy of physical media ownership outside of the boundaries of cult fans and cineastes.
"Toy Robot Video will deliver an expansive variety of content, incorporating a range of mainstream titles and genres – with even more comedy and even animation. We couldn't be more pleased with our launch titles, including a 2-disc 4K UHD release of 1987's Masters of the Universe in the US and Canada, and we are incredibly excited about our forthcoming slate for the remainder of 2026 and beyond."

Emmy Award winner Hiroyuki Sanada (SHOGUN, MORTAL KOMBAT) stars in this wild, action-packed film, available for the first time on Blu-ray!
On the death bed of his adoptive father, Texas-raised rancher Joji learns a shocking family secret - he has a twin brother and sister he never knew about. Determined to find his brother, Joji travels to Japan only to discover he has been mysteriously killed. As he stays with his sister and digs deeper, Joji uncovers his uncle's involvement in criminal enterprises, including plans to obtain a priceless 130-carat diamond known as the Queen of Sheba. Betrayal and vengeance unfold as Joji confronts his corrupt uncle and fights to avenge his family.

Ninja Wars
Ninja Wars (original title: Iga Ninpōchō) is a dark, supernatural action film set in feudal Japan, blending ninja lore with horror and fantasy elements. The story follows Jotaro, a wandering ninja who becomes entangled in a deadly conflict between rival clans after a brutal massacre wipes out his comrades. As he investigates, he discovers that the violence is tied to a sinister conspiracy involving a demonic sect seeking power through forbidden rituals. This group employs grotesque, otherworldly abilities--blurring the line between human and monster--to eliminate their enemies and dominate the region.
Jotaro joins forces with a mysterious female survivor whose own past is steeped in tragedy and vengeance. Together, they confront increasingly bizarre and terrifying foes, each wielding unnatural powers. As the battles escalate, Jotaro must rely not only on his physical skill but also on inner resolve to resist corruption and defeat the dark forces threatening to consume the land.
The film is known for its stylized violence, eerie atmosphere, and imaginative (often shocking) supernatural elements, making it a standout entry in early 1980s Japanese genre cinema. Bonus Materials

UK STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 28.

Daniel DelPurgatorio's smart and stylish feature debut, which also stars Corbin Bernsen (THE DENTIST), delivers an atmospheric modern-day twist on the summer camp slasher movie that will keep you guessing right through to its shocking final reveal.
