“Blade!”

It took a mighty 4-player Co-Op effort to initially defeat the powerful Bugster Graphite. Using the Level 5 Gashat Drago Knight Hunter Z, Ex-Aid and his allies were each granted a portion of it’s power and a piece of it’s armor. Thus the Dragon Blade was inherited by Kamen Rider Brave! Eventually though Hiro would come master the powers of this Gashat on his own. For now we see how well Tamashii Nations has tamed this wild power with a new gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Brave Hunter Quest Gamer Level 5!

Brave Level 5 is a mold you’ve seen before. Largely unchanged from the original Brave Level 2 Quest Gamer release, Level 5 swaps out the right side limbs for the Drago Knight Hunter Z armor, granting Brave the large Dragon Blade. While these parts are largely unchanged from their outing with Ex-Aid Level 5, Brave can make full use of this arms articulation unlike Ex-Aid. This go around we also have the inclusion of 7 unique word bubble effect parts to spruce up your Ex-Aid display or a battle scene!

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery to this post, but you can also read up on our full review of this figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with another new figure from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid as well as a long awaited renewal from Kamen Rider W!

Another round of magazine scans has currently been released for the 41st Super Sentai Series, showing fans a bit about the further adventures of Uchu Sentai KyuRanger!

This month features Lucky returning to his home planet, recovering a gift from his father- the legendary King Aslan. The gift in question turns out to be ANOTHER Mecha- the Kojishi Voyager!

The Leo Minor Mecha is able to combine with Lucky’s own Shishi Voyager, creating the Super Shishi Voyager! And to add even more to the KyuRangers’ arsenal, Kojishi can combine with other Voyagers to create SUPER KyuRenOh! This new configuration adds a powerful cannon to KyuRenOh, greatly enhancing their firepower.

Finally, the hunt is on for 4 new KyuTama that may finally put an end to the Jark Matter for good: the KyuRangers must find the Perseus, Andromeda, Cepheus and Cassiopeia Kyutama!

Definitely some strange adventures ahead for the KyuRangers! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Super Sentai news!

The latest round of magazine scans has hit the Internet, giving fans a much-needed look at the future adventures of Kamen Rider Build!

At long last, we have an in-depth look at this series’ SECOND Rider- officially confirmed as Kamen Rider Cross-Z! By using the Build Driver alongside the recently-developed Cross Dragon powered by the Dragon FullBottle, Cross-Z is able to henshin and fight.

Kamen Rider Cross-Z is armed with a unique new weapon- the Beat Cross-Zer– a saber able to take down SMASH creatures with its DRAGONIC FINISHER attack!

Not to be outdone, Kamen Rider Build is shown with two more BEST MATCH! configurations-

*KeyDragon created from the Lock and Dragon FullBottles
*KaizokuRessha made by the Pirate and ElectricTrain FullBottles.

But perhaps most amusing is a quick look at the upcoming Heisei Generations FINAL movie- where Kamen Rider Build has developed RIDER FullBottles and is able to henshin into other Riders! We have an excellent shot of the (presumably) Movie-Exclusive Kamen Rider Build Ex-Aid Form!

Definitely some exciting times ahead for Build fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider News!

“Change, Punch Hopper!”

Shun Kageyama had humble beginnings with ZECT under his mentor Sou Yaguruma/TheBee. When Yaguruma fell from grace, Kageyama rose to power, but proved too weak to maintain it. Left a shattered man he was pulled back from the depths of his failures once again by Yaguruma. Kageyama’s mentor had been reborn as Kamen Rider Kickhopper, now he himself lives his own second life as Kamen Rider Punch Hopper. Together they walk their own path, to hell.

Recently we took a look at Shinkocchou Seihou Kickhopper, and as with most any release from this line I was very impressed. So it’s no surprise that mold mate Punch Hopper is also an absolute pleasure. Punch Hopper once again takes an excellent renewal mold and puts it to good use. The only new difference with this release is the arm mounted Anchor Joint weapon, but it’s executed just as well as Kickhopper’s ankle mounted one.

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery to this post, but you can also click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full review. We’ll be back soon with a new pair of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid galleries as well!

In a surprise reveal a magazine scan has just begun circulating showing off S.H. Figaurts Ambassador Hell! We’ve previously seen this iconic villains’ Kaijin form Garagaranda, on display at Tamashii Events. But this is a new reveal entirely. What’s most surprising is that Ambassador Hell appears to be a standard retail release, priced at 6480 yen with a release date of April 2017.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Ambassador Hell character, he hails from the original Kamen Rider TV series. A Shocker general based out of the western US, the character has made numerous appearances through out the rider franchise. As recently even as the 2016 Kamen Rider 1 film. He’s not to be confused with his brother Ambassador Darkness, who looks very similar and first appeared in the “Birth of the 10th! Kamen Rider All Together!” the Kamen Rider ZX film. Could Hell’s release signal Darkness on the horizon? Here’s hoping!
