With magazine scans out of the way for the month official images have begun to circulate for all the recently revealed figures. Today the Tamashii Web Shop has updated with official images and pricing for S.H. Figuarts Black Beet from Juuko B-Fighter!

Black Beet, or as western fans would  know him Shadowborg/General Venjix, will be released as Tamashii Web Exclusive in March 2015 for 5184 yen. It appears as though there will be no western market distribution for the B-Fighter figuarts. So if you have some sentimental love for these designs because of Big Bad Beetleborgs, you may want to get with a Tamashii Web Middleman to secure orders for Black Beet and the previously revealed Blue Beet.

This weekend one of the most popular toku series of all time will come to an end – Kamen Rider Gaim is coming to an end with the airing of its final episode, “Transform! And to the Future!”, the 47th and final installment of this beloved series. It’s popularity has spawned one of the most successful merchandise toy lines (in both the Arms Change figures as well as the DX Lock Seeds and Sengoku & Genesis Drivers) in Kamen Rider history, and helped gain a slew of fans to the franchise that are either new or had stopped watching Kamen Rider thanks to the love it/hate it series of Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider Fourze.

Kamen Rider Gaim has been an incredibly popular series here at TokuNation.com, as our discussion threads of each episode have grown larger and larger each week as fans have registered to share their thoughts on each episode. And this weekend they will do it one last time (until the summer movie is released!). While our wallets cry as we continue to buy up all the Kamen Rider Gaim merchandise (who has got their S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kachidoki Arms yet?!?) we figured it was only fitting to give this series a proper send off here with Nine Days of Juicy, the Kamen Rider Gaim Celebration!

Over the course of the next nine days, starting on Thursday, September 25th, we will be posting an in-depth retrospective of all the Beat Riders, Armored Riders, and Energy Riders. Our celebration will end on Friday, October 3rd, right before the premiere of Kamen Rider Drive, the next installment of the Kamen Rider franchise. But what good is a celebration if the party has no party favors?

As we get close to the end of the celebration, followers of the TokuNation twitter account (@TokuNation on Twitter) will have a chance to win two S.H. Figuarts of characters from Kamen Rider Gaim! If you haven’t followed us on Twitter then you’d better hurry – our give away requires you to be a follower of our twitter account and to also re-tweet the give away tweet! Watch for it!

We hope you’ve enjoyed Kamen Rider Gaim as much as we have. So let’s give it one heck of a send-off by celebrating everything about the show – the good, the bad, and the simply confusing stuff! HENSHIN!!!!!

Despite having gone up from preorder a while ago, official images have finally arrived of the forthcoming fourth wave of 66 Action Kamen Rider candy toy figures. This wave will be made up of Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms, Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style, Kamen Rider Faiz and the latest Rider to join the franchise – Kamen Rider Drive!

This matches up to the initial leak of Kachidoki, Wizard and Faiz that happened around the release of wave 3, with Drive making up the fourth member. If the previous two waves are anything to go by, it will also include a chase variant of some sort.

66 Action Kamen Riders wave 4 will be released in December, costing 380 yen per figure.

Revealed last week, we’ve finally gotten confirmed release information for the Complete Selection Modification Decadriver! However some of this information may hurt collector’s wallets. On one hand the Decadriver itself will retail for 12,960 yen, scheduled for release in February 2015.

However, despite initial speculation, it appears the Rider Cards are sold separately.  That’s right, Also being released in February 2015 for 7,560 yen is what appears  to be a “complete” set of Rider Cards. It would seem these cards will be similar to previous premium card archive sets released for other rider shows. The price suggests this will be an extensive collection of cards, possibly including ALL of Decades’ cards used throughout his various show &  film appearances.

More details will be released by Bandai for both the Deacdriver & Rider Cards set  October 24th.

Medicom has just announced/revealed their next upcoming Premium Club release. A true 70’s classic, it’s Real Action Heroes DX Inazuman! 

Inazuman is finally getting the 1/6 scale premium figure treatment with this release and it really does the premium aspect justice. Sold exclusively through the Medicom Premium Club this figure will retail for a whopping 22,000 yen & be released in June 2015. With a high end figure like this coming along, could we see an S.H. Figuart in the near future?

Much like they did with the fan favrioute Arms Change series last year, the latest issue of Figuroh has previews on just how this year’s gimmick based action figure will work. Kamen Rider Drives Tire Koukan.

The gimmick figure looks similar to the OOO Combo Change figures where the figure itself splits apart into sections to allow the tires to be swapped out. Right off the bat, TK01 Drive Type Speed also includes his Flare Wheel for an alternate.

TK01 Kamen Rider Drive is scheduled to come out next month, retailing for 3456 yen.
