A new round of magazine scans has given us some extra details about the 19th Heisei-Era Rider Series- Kamen Rider Build!

*For starters, we get some clarification about Kamen Rider Build’s configurations: Build selects 2 FullBottles to be used in his BuildDriver in order to henshin. The strongest combinations are known as BEST MATCH! because the FullBottle abilities balance out one another. However, Build does not require a BEST MATCH to henshin- any FullBottle combination will do. The resulting non-matches are considered Trial Forms and are not as strong. A variety of these TrialForms are shown in scans, including GorillaTank and RabbitDiamond.

*Next, some extensive scans reveal Kamen Rider Builds’ third BEST MATCH form- HawkGatling! This orange & silver configuration turns Build into the SkyVandal, able to fly & shoot down Smash Enemies with ease.

*Finally, we learn a bit more about the mysterious villain known as Nitrogue! Nitrogue is said to be the leader of a strange organization known only as FAUST that wants to use Builds’ technologies for their own agenda.

Kamen Rider Build officially begins THIS SUNDAY, September 3 2017! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new series!

“I’ll have you beaten in five moves.”

Before Dangerous Zombie there was another rider of the undead. A dark science experiment using human flesh & Amazon cells, Jun Maehara returned from the dead as a cold killing machine. Finally making his figuarts debut, the third & most dangerous Amazon rider arrives. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Sigma!

Amazon Sigma is the first use of the new Wild/Origin body. Surely a hint that Amazon Omega Origin will be released sometime in the future? In any case, this is a great new mold. Some sharp mold details and exquisite paint apps also go a long way to giving this menacing character the proper presence and personality he deserves. Included with Sigma are 3 sets of extra hands ass well as a set of the popular Tamashii Flame Effects in purple.

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery to this post but you can also check out a comprehensive review in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next week with a throwback gallery of an older release from Kamen Rider Kabuto!
