After this week’s episode of Kamen Rider Drive and his flashy first appearance, Kamen Rider Mach is about to make his debut in the Tire Koukan toy line as well! We’ve just come across our first actual image of the figure.

Mach will be released as TK-07, and this image confirms some initial thoughts about the figure. First we can see that Mach’s V-Helm is entirely functional and reveals his Shutter Guard faceplate just as it does in show. He will at least include the Zenrin Shooter, the default Advent Signal, and the alternate Advent Signal Magarl as well. Being that this is where the connection point on Mach is, we can also see that Kamen Rider Drive’s tires are fully interchangeable with Mach!

TK-07 Kamen Rider Mach will be released in January and retails for 3200 yen!

It’s the return of the king here at TokuNation! Today we’re proud to present a long awaited new gallery, Ultra-Act Ultraman King!

Ultraman King, the ancient elder of the Ultra race, has guarded his people for generations operating in secret. Sometimes he intervenes or trains young heroes, but he’s always watchful. And this legendary hero has at long last joined his brothers in the Ultra-Act line! A recent Tamashii Web Exclusive, Ultraman King includes his own personal cape/mantle, his signature King Hammer, the Great Protector armor, and several sets of additional hands. A unique Ultra-Act release, King has some of the more snazzy duds for an Ultra, and sports the even more rare facial hair. His hammer also puts him in the small group of toku heroes that call it their weapon of choice as well. An interesting and offbeat release to say the least, for many Ultraman King has been a dream come true for the line.

Read on with our full review and check out a complete 40 image gallery of this unique addition to the Ultra-Act line after the jump. And don’t forget to share your thoughts on Ultra-Act Ultraman King, good or bad, in this thread as well. A post in this gallery thread will qualify you for entry in our Toku Toy Box giveaway!

LOCK ON! 



Going along with the Gaim Gaiden V Cinema story info that just dropped earlier tonight, Bandai updated new release info for the DX Taboo Lock Seed and Face Plate set!

The pair appears to be bundled with the Gaim Gaiden BluRay and DVD Combo Pack that will be coming out April 2015. No price was given, but unfortunately Japanese BluRays tend to be expensive, so this set might be too pricy for some.

Some new images for the upcoming Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden special have been posted online.

This story will introduce Amagi Kureshima the father of Takatora and Mitsuzane. Amagi is portrayed by none other than Minori Terada– better known to most Kamen Rider fans as Ryubee Sonozaki of Kamen Rider W!

As previously reported, two new Kamen Riders will appear in this special. The magazine scans have revealed their identities but we will keep those details hidden out of respect for fans who wish to remain unspoiled:

*Kamen Rider Idunn

Spoiler:
is Touka Akatsuki a servant of the Kureshima household. Idunn has the power to control Helheim Cracks at will.

*Kamen Rider Tyrant

Spoiler:
Alfred, the Kureshima butler.

Last but not least, the story will introduce a new class of Invess: the Super Overlord. A mysterious new creature named Shaboole is the first (and perhaps only) creature of this kind.

Gaim Gaiden will be released on DVD & Blu-Ray April 22!

The story of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is as follows – The Yokai were sealed away roughly three generations ago by Igasaki Yoshitaki, the Last Ninja. But around the time that Igasaki Yoshitaki passes away, the Yokai revive and it is up to his descendants, five cousins, to come together as a team and defeat the Yokai.
