under Garo

Thanks to the latest batch of magazine scans we have a look at the newest entry in Tamashii Nations‘ premium quality S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou line. While the line has previously been exclusively reserved for Kamen Rider characters, that streak has officially been broken with the announcement of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Garo!

This figure is likely a further development to the renewal Garo figure seen at the Tamashii Nations 2014 event, not only sporting a sharper and more detailed sculpt but also an authentic golden chrome shine!

No release information has been announced as of yet, so stay tuned to Tokunation as more information about this exciting release is revealed!

“Henshin!”

It’s been a long time coming but I’m happy to announce my return to TokuNation galleries! And it’s time to take a look at the long awaited final Showa Rider, Kamen Rider J! J rounds out the trinity of movie exclusive riders from the post-RX era that is still considered Showa by Toei. The 3 films,Shin, ZO, & J are some of my favorite guilty pleasures. Each for differnet reasons. So it brings me great pleasure to finally own all 3 of these figures. This has been nearly 3 years in the making.

Kamen Rider J, you’ll notice has a very similar design to ZO. Which is intentional, but has also caused many people to mistake the two for one another for years. But when you get down to it, they are both very very different. The two figuarts themselves don’t share a bit of molding at all that I can determine, so J winds up with his own unique personality from ZO. While not perfect, J is an admirable send off to the Showa Era of Kamen Rider. Now let’s hope his iconic Rider Machine, the J-Crosser, is on the way soon.

Check out our full 50 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider J by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a few overdue galleries from Kamen Rider Drive, Tokkei Winspector, Kamen Rider Amazons, and more!

under Ultraman

“I am Orb! I light the darkness and strike at evil!”

After a teasing reveal last month Bandai Tamashii Nations have now updated their website with images of the forthcoming S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Orb Origin and Ultraman Orb Origin The First figures! The first modern Ultra hero to join the S.H. Figuarts line, these figures are based on the hero’s ‘true’ appearance in both Ultraman Orb and the Amazon Prime-exclusive Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga prequel series.

A mass release figure due for release in August, Ultraman Orb comes with the Orb Calibur weapon, a replacement colour timer and a number of alternate hands. Meanwhile Orb Origin The First will also be arriving that month, but will be sold exclusively through Amazon.co.jp. He comes with replacement hands, colour timer and a number of attack effect parts. Both figures cost 5940 yen each.

Preorders for Ultraman Orb Origin are scheduled to open on April 3rd, with Origin The First presumably the same day or shortly afterward.

As a further tease Tamashii Nations have also confirmed a third figure in the Ultraman Orb lineup, however it’s identity is currently unknown.

Will you be adding this Ultra Hero to your collection? Check out the full selection of images after the jump!

under Kamen Rider

Not to be outdone, a handful of new magazine scans for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid have also been posted online, showing us the future adventures of the Game Riders!

*By obtaining a GamerDriver of his own, Kamen Rider Para-DX will reach LVL 99 and become Kamen Rider Para-DX Perfect Gamer! Armed with the new ParabraGun weapon, Para-DX is now stronger than any could’ve imagined- but is he friend or foe?!

*With the power of Kamen Rider Chronicle seeping into the real world, numerous humans will take on Rider characteristics to survive. These new warriors are known as Ride Players, closely resembling Ex-Aid’s design but with muted features & colors.

*Last but certainly not least is Kamen Rider Poppy! Everyone’s favorite singing Bugstar joins the fight- but just whose side is she really on?!

Certainly seems to be some exiting times ahead for the Game Riders!

*Next is the Big Star, Koguma SkyBlue! The 11th KyuRanger draws powers from the Ursa Major & Ursa Minor KyuTamas, and attacks enemies with powerful claws hidden beneath his gloved hands. Koguma SkyBlue will control two new Voyagers- Koguma and Ohguma Voyagers.
