“Now, let’s shake it off!”

Ryu Terui was an ordinary police office like anyone else, until the day that Isaka the Weather Dopant savagely murdered his entire family. With the help of Shroud though, Ryu began a quest for his revenge as Kamen Rider Accel! Now after 7 long years we get our own revenge on the original Accel figuart with this brand new premium style renewal! We finally have, S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Accel!

Seihou Accel is easily one of the best releases in this line so far. Where the original release skimped on details and skewed way off from proper proportions, this release nails every aspect of the design. It’s more vibrantly colored, capable of achieving poses the original simply couldn’t, and conveys Ryu Terui’s personality very well. Fantastically functional, Accel is also equipped with an extra head, two Gaia Memories, 5 sets of hands, and the Engine Blade! As far as premium style releases go, Accel is the full package.

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery to this post, but you can click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the full gallery & review thread as well. Next time I’ll be back with an overdue gallery from Ultra Seven with S.H. Figuarts Alien Metron!

The Tamashii Webshop has just updated us with the latest premium release from their Shinkocchou Seihou line. Following up on the hugely successful releases of Kamen Rider’s W & Accel, it’s time for their movie nemesis to make his debut, S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Eternal!

Eternal looks to possibly be one of the most stunning releases in this line yet. Using the excellent W body mold, Eternal also features the very first poseable cloth cape on a Kamen Rider figuart ever! We’ve seen it on other recent figures like the Dark Knight Trilogy Batman, but this is the first Kamen Rider figure to feature such a cape. Eternal also includes numerous extra hands, Gaia Memory holsters, and his iconic Eternal Edge. This release looks to be the all in one package for W collectors.

Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Eternal is set for release in January 2018 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 7884 yen. Get with your preferred web exclusive service or middleman in the near future to secure your order.

Revealed at this year’s San Diego Comic Con was the Power Rangers Zeo Legacy Zeonizer. Now, thanks to a listing at EntertainmentEarth.com, we have an official press image as well as the release details.

Due out in February 2018 for roughly $99, the Power Rangers Zeo Legacy Zeonizer official image gives us our first clear look at how beautiful this item is. Undoubtedly this will be a hot item that will be in the collection of many fans.

The Bandai America Legacy line of helmets will continue now – the Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Green Ranger Helmet Revealed earlier today at online retailer Entertainment Earth. Like the Legacy Red Ranger and Legacy Movie Red Ranger helmets before it, this item will be a wearable helmet designed to look as close to the show as possible.

According to the listing, the Legacy Green Ranger helmet is set to release in February of 2018 for the usual retail of around $99.

We invite you to take a look at our article of how Power Rangers failed to deliver at San Diego Comic Con and this reveal, coming through an online retailer as opposed to Bandai America or Saban Brands, only furthers to reference our point at the continued mismanagement of the brand. This is an item that could have been, and should have been, revealed at San Diego Comic Con less than a month ago.

“Electroplate!”

It’s that time again friends! A few weeks back we took at the fantastic new Space Squad release of Gavan Type G. This figure was a long overdue renewal that helped set the stage for the original Metal Hero himself to also receive this treatment. In this case though S.H. Figuarts Space Sheriff Gavan came packaged in a massive set with his unique ride the Saibarian!

Gavan like Type G really needed this renewal treatment. The old Gavan body was a pretty poorly made figure with numerous documented QC issues. While these new releases haven’t been perfect on that front, I’m looking at you chrome finish, they are above and beyond functionally better figures than the old releases. Gavan comes armed with 3 versions of his iconic Laser Blade as well as 4 sets of hands and a Laser Scope head. But the biggest and best accessory is of course the Saibarian! This long overdue bike is a top notch figuarts vehicle. Functionality it can fully transform, it’s got several tamashii stage ports built in for action shots, and despite being plastic, it has some decent heft to it. It’s a shelf presence.

The entire gallery of 150 images is attached to this post but feel free to  “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to read the full review and accessory breakdown as well! Next up on our gallery schedule is S.H. Figuarts Alien Metron from Ultraseven!
