Once again the worlds of Rider and Sentai have collided!
A special teamup episode featuring Kamen Rider Ghost and Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger has been announced for March 27, 2016! This one hour crossover will air in place of the standard SuperHeroTime programming block for the day.
Sadly, no plot details about the meeting of Ghost & the Zyuohgers have been revealed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this exciting meeting of heroes!
A new round of magazine scans has begun circulating, giving fans the first official look at a new form for Kamen Rider Ghost!
This is the Grateful Damshii, an incredible step up in power unlocked when Takeru finally unites the souls of all 15 Heroic Eyecons. Grateful’s abilities are channeled through a new Driver device- the Eyecon Driver G!
Look closely and you can spot the faceplates of all previous forms used by Kamen Rider Ghost scattered across Grateful’s suit. The centerpiece of the costume will change based on whatever Heroic Ability might be needed in combat, all leading to Grateful Damashii’s ultimate attack- Omega Formation!
Grateful Damashii should be appearing in-series very soon! Stay tuned to Tokunation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider news!
And just like that we have another official image turn around for a recently confirmed release. Just confirmed via magazine scans earlier this week, the Tamashii Web Shop has posted an ordering page with official images for S.H. Figuarts Walter!
Walter is the 3rd and final member of the Tokkei Winspector trio. An eagerly awaited release (for this collector personally) Walter looks to be another excellent Metal Hero addition to your collection. Included with this release are a range of great accessories. Walter comes with an excellent 5 pairs of hands, the standard Daytric M2, his wing/jetpack the Dislider, and 2 cans of oil!

Premium Bandai has put up a new page revealing something special for Kamen Rider Ghost collectors: the DX Proto MegaUloader!
This device, a black recolor of the henshin device used by Kamen Rider Necrom is seen in-series as a new power source for the Superior Ganma. The Proto set will include the device and two unique Eyecons– one containing several Ganma sounds and one that fans will recognize as the personal Eyecon of Superior Ganma Igor– the scientist currently using the Proto MegaUloader.
The DX ProtoMegaUloader will be available in June 2016 for the relatively affordable price of 6480 Yen. Only 6000 DX sets will be made! If you are interested in purchasing, please consult your preferred Premium Bandai retailer.
MAY DAY, MAY DAY!
The final member of the Special Rescue Police Winspector, the latest team from the Metal Heroes series to join the S.H. Figuarts line will arrive in August as a Tamashii web exclusive! The latest batch of magazine scans have confirmed Walter‘s release, as well as a price tag of 7020 yen. Information on his accessories will likely follow soon.
Are you ready to complete your Winspector team this August? Let us know after the jump!
With Ultraman set to celebrate his 50th birthday in July (along with the birthday of his creator Eiji Tsuburaya), many collectors speculated that this month would see the release of the S.H. Figuarts Ultraman figure previously revealed at last year’s Tamashii Nations event. And thanks to the latest set of magazine scans, we can now confirm this to be the case!
S.H. Figuarts Ultraman will be a mass release figure, retailing for 5200 yen. His accessories include a selection of effect parts, including of course his signature Specium Ray attack. In addition to this two scaled “Option Act Building Sets” will be released that month, retailing at 2700 yen each and coming in standard and damaged variants. However if both of these things take your fancy, a special Ultraman 50th Anniversary set is also being released, costing 8000 yen and including Ultraman, a special colour version of the building set AND a scaled Alien Baltan spacecraft.
As for Baltan itself? That’ll be joining the line the following month in August, retailing for 5940 yen. No word on the previously revealed Zetton figure yet, but expect that to join shortly afterward.
Stay tuned for more information on these figures in the coming week!
START YOUR ENGINE!
With S.I.C Drive Type Speed having been previewed at the last Tamashi Nations event, we finally have another look at the spectacular piece thanks to some magazine scans that have popped up.
For now, we have no further details on his release or even if he’ll be released to the public though he’ll be making an appearance in the coming issues of S.I.C Hero Saga.
Teased just a few days ago, Premium Bandai announced plans to once again release a Faiz Gear and Faiz Driver into the Complete Selection Modification line, we finally have our first look at the initial prototype which was on display at the recently held Chara Hobby 2016 show.
Unfortunately, without additional photos or video it’s hard to determine whether or not this is a brand new belt or a reissue of the old Complete Selection Faiz Gear hopefully, we’ll get more info on that when pre orders begin.
Signal Bike! Rider! Chaser!
Everyone’s favorite hero turned villain turned hero again has finally joined the S.H. Figuarts line! It’s been a long time coming but the rider with the tightest pants, the sweetest ride, and the ax that looks both ways before crossing the road has arrived! Today we take a look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser!
Chaser is final rider needed to complete the basic Drive trifecta. As one of the last few remaining scheduled releases for Drive, he’s absolutely one of the best. Chaser is a sleek back to basics design that goes for a more symmetrical look any of the Drive riders. Included with him is his packaged separately headcrest, 2 sets of hands, his Signal Ax, and an effect part for it to replicate the “stop” & “go” of his Full Throttle Across Breaker attack. After handling him for this gallery it’s safe to say that Chaser is an absolutely solid release that will look fantastic in your Drive display. It’s one of the best figures released in this sub-line.
We’ve attached a selection to this post but more than 65 images are present in the full gallery. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see them as well as a full review. And catch up on all of our previous Kamen Rider Drive S.H. Figuarts galleries below:
