Space Sheriff Gavan is being reintroduced to the streaming audience that just met its successor. Toei Tokusatsu YouTube Official began free streaming of the 1982 series on September 30, with episodes 1 and 2 up and a playlist indicating new episodes arrive on Wednesdays. The original ran 44 episodes and starred Kenji Ohba as Ichijouji Retsu. Its revival banner is Cho Uchu Keiji Gavan Infinity, which began broadcasting in February 2026.
Bandai's PROJECT R.E.D. line is carrying the newer Gavan name into retail. Product pages opened for a Gavan Infinity Laser ver. soft vinyl figure at 1,100 yen, shipping September 19, 2026, and a DX Horned Beast Hekikaku at 4,400 yen, releasing October 3, 2026, a roughly 200mm figure with a scissor open-close gimmick that combines with the DX Horned Beast Enkaku and Omega Horn. Alphamax is handling the original suit separately, with a 20 cm Gavan action figure due in December 2026 that uses vapor plating, a cloth inner suit, 38 articulation points, LED-equipped parts, and a magnet-based display base. Orders opened August 18.
On screen, the newer Gavan continues in the V-Cinext Cho Uchu Keiji Gavan Infinity VS Lya.

A limited theatrical run starts Friday, December 11. The character also appeared in the July 24 double feature with Kamen Rider Zetts, where four Gavan characters from different dimensions gathered for a simultaneous steaming transformation.
