TOEI has completed their first official press conference for the 19th Heisei-Era Kamen Rider- Kamen Rider Build! We now have an extensive look at the cast & story of this new series!

*First up, the story: Kamen Rider Build takes place 10 years after a mysterious artifact called the PANDORAS BOX was found on Mars. The energy from this discovery created a SKY WALL that split Japan into 3 Zones, and awakened strange monsters known as SMASH! that prey on innocent people.

*Kamen Rider Build’s true name is Sento Kiryu! Sento will be played by Inukai Atsuhiro. He is described as a genius level physicist but also has no memory of his past- aside from a vague hint involving a creature known as Nitrogue.

*Sento is taken in by a cafe owner named Soichi Isurugi (played by Yasuyuki Maekawa) who supports the amnesiac scientist. Soichi has a young daughter, Misora (played by Kaho Takada) who possesses a unique ability to “Purify” the dark elements of SMASH.

*A mysterious young man named Ryuga Banjo (played by Eiji Akaso) may hold the key to Sento’s past- but Ryuga’s own past has plenty of secrets too; he’s an escaped convict accused of murder!

*Special Forces Chief Gentoku Himuro (played by Kensei Mikami) will be the one to hire Sento to investigate the Pandora’s Box & solve the mystery of the Sky Walls. He has a secretary, Shigeaki Utsumi (played by Yuki Ochi) instructed to closely monitor Kamen Rider Build’s actions.

*Lastly, Sento will receive support from a freelance journalist named Sawa Takigawa (played by Yukari Taki). She reports on attacks by the SMASH! creatures and may help Build unravel the secrets of his past.

And one final bit of information: the theme song for Kamen Rider Build will be titled Be The One! This song will be performed by a new music group, PANDORA!

Kamen Rider Build will officially begin on September 3, 2017! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this exciting new series!

Hey Power Rangers fans! The Official Power Morphicon opened its registration this morning! If you haven’t registered yet, please click here and begin the process. A lot of fans are expressing dismay that they didn’t have an option to include the Power Morphicon Exclusive 6.5″ Legacy Power Rangers figure. While it hasn’t been showing up during the registration process, there is a way to add it.

After you’ve registered for your membership, you will be sent an E-mail regarding your registration. Open that E-mail, go back in to your registration profile on the site, edit the “Extra Items” tab, and you can then add as many Legacy 6.5″ figures that your membership allows. You will have to pay for them in advance.

While there has been no official announcement on what the Power Morphicon Legacy 6.5″ exclusive figure is, a report out our friends from Power Rangers NOW states that it is indeed the evil Lord Drakkon! However, some conflicting reports are out there as well (at one point the original registration site showed “Psycho Silver Ranger”). However, we did learn Bandai America will be offering a second exclusive through their booth at the convention. So stay tuned for more details!

Each year we have a new gimmick figure in the Kamen Rider action figure line. For example during Kamen Rider Gaim it was the “Arms Change” figures and most recently in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid it was the “Level Up Rider” series. This next series, for Kamen Rider Build, is called the Bottle Change Rider series. We now have a Bottle Change Rider 01 Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Form official image courtesy of Bandai Japan.

This figure has a button on the back of him that, when pressed, will separate the figure in to two pieces so you can use other Bottle Change accessories to change the form of Kamen Rider Build.

This figure releases September 2nd 2017 in Japan for the price of 3,500 yen. No other accessories have been revealed as of yet but stay tuned for more details and hopefully more images.
