A new photo has leaked out from the Kamen Rider Drive production crew, featuring the as-yet-unrevealed Kamen Rider Mach!
Mach is seen alongside the Roimude’s Grim Reaper, Machin Chaser– which seems to disprove the theory that Chase would become Mach later in the series.

It’s time for another episode of the Talkin Toku Podcast! After a brief, unplanned hiatus, Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom are back to discuss all things tokusatsu!
The boys start the show off by discussing the revelations of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger and quickly morph themselves in to a deep conversation about Ressha Sentai ToQGer and whether or not TeiOh (the final mech from the show and toy line) is the final culmination of everything wrong with the show and the toy line.
The boys then discuss the Tamashii Nations Event – the things they can’t wait for, the things they were surprised to see, their favorite toku and non-toku item of the show. Can you guess before you listen which item each host is eagerly anticipating? We bet you can’t!
Jordan and Tom discuss everything Kamen Rider Drive from the premiere to current while Chris disappears to eat dinner. Do they like the show? Dislike the show? Does it compare to Kamen Rider Gaim? Should it even be compared? Listen in and find out!
On to a serious topic – the revelation of the USA edition of the Tamashii Web Shop, meaning items only available from middlemen in the past may be ordered direct on the US side from the shop. If it comes to that, what does that mean for Bluefin Tamashii Nations? The guys get in to a very deep conversation about Bluefin Tamashii Nations, Bluefin Distro Group, Bandai Japan, Bandai of America, and even bring in the world of Transformers to make their case for the conversation. If you’ve ever had an interest in some of the inside workings of why certain toys are released or why their colors don’t match up to their source material, listen to this segment!
The show ends with the guys discussing what’s coming next for TokuNation.com as well as some Halloween moments as Chris and Tom dressed up as Power Rangers for the festivities. We also announce our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway – you don’t want to miss this year’s stuff!!

Baltmatrix and I have teamed up once again to deliver a 1-2 punch of toku reviews! This time we’re taking a look at the DX Tridoron from Kamen Rider Drive!
To start we’ve assembled a full 50+ image gallery of DX Tridoron for your viewing after the jump. This excellent vehicle is big, functional, and did we mention BIG? As one of the larger DX rider vehicles ever made it will make your collection of rider bikes feel inadequate. Tridoron also has the ability to transform into it’s 3 basic Types like Drive; Speed, Wild, & Technique. That in addition to it’s Tire Koukan compatibility, it’s functionality with shift cars, and the fact that it can accommodate 6″ figures in it’s cockpit all make the DX Tridoron worth a purchase in my book. And don’t forget the included Midnight Shadow Shift Car & Tire as well as the pre-order bonus Max Flare Full Throttle Version Shift Car!
And now take a look below for a full video review of this wonderful toy by my good friend Baltmatrix! On loan from my personal collection to Balt, I hope you enjoy his in depth look at DX Tridoron! This video review will showcase the transformations of Tridoron in practice as well as the way the in which it’s electronic gimmicks function & it’s compatibility with Tire Koukan tires & figures!
We’ll be back in the near future with yet more tag team gallery/video reviews from your favorite toku heroes old & new! But for now, All you need is Drive!
