While Kamen Rider Build will not air next week due to Toei’s annual holiday break, fans have been given a quick preview of the NEXT Rider Form to be obtained in this exciting series!

This is Kamen Rider Cross-Z Charge! Banjo Ryuga trades in his BuildDriver & Dragon equipment for a strange new device known as the Sclash Driver! This new Driver is powered by new items known as Jellies instead of Build’s standard FullBottles. Ryuga uses the Dragon SclashJelly to henshin into Cross-Z Charge.

Sadly, the full story of this new upgrade is not yet known. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider news!

“Ultra Eye!”

In a year that celebrates the 10th anniversary of the S.H. Figuarts toyline, Tamashii Nations is also helping to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the classic series Ultra Seven! In honor of this, Bandai has recently released S.H. Figuarts Dan Moroboshi, the civilian identity of the gigantic hero Ultra Seven!

Dan, is the first in a series of new civilian identity S.H. Figuarts, that’s already been followed by Retsu Ichijoji as well as Takeshi Hongo. This release sets a sort of new standard for what to expect, and for where improvements can be made to this type of release as well. The biggest thing I notice with this figure, is that Bandai has massively stepped up their face printing technology, and the figure has a true to life sculpt & paint job. Dan looks like he jumped right off the screen. Dan also includes a fantastic array of accessory giving him a full compliment Ultra Garrison items and his Ultra Seven transformation device, the Ultra Eye!

We’ve attached the full 50 image gallery to this post, but you can also check out our in-depth review of S.H. Figuarts Dan Moroboshi after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next week with more new galleries for Toku Toy Box!

Following their two-part release of the original series and KIBA spin-off due in February, Kraken Releasing have announced that their next GARO release will be the franchise’s first theatrical film – GARO: Red Requiem. The film is also notable for introducing Rekka, a Makai Priest who has become a staple member of the cast ever since.

GARO: Red Requiem will be released on April 10th 2018 with a retail price of $19.98. Ready to add another piece of GARO to your blu-ray collection? Sound off in the discussion!

RIDER…HENSHIN!

First revealed at the Tamashii Nations 2017 event last month, Bandai Tamashiis official release page for the Shinkocchou Seihou subline was just updated with new photos and release info for S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider 2.

Kamen Rider 2 was teased for a May release window as a general mass retail release a little while ago, the date was confirmed by that very web page. No word was given on price, but considering that the figure shares the same body as Kamen Rider 1 we can expect a similar 6,480 yen price point. Stay tuned, and we’ll bring you more up to date info along with any more pictures that get released.

“My dear doctors, our game has only just begun.”

Toku Toy Box takes a look at the Game Master once again! After Level X last time, now we have the opportunity to checkout Kuroto Dan’s excellent, and recently release Level 2 form with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider GenM Action Gamer Level 2! And since this is the Tamashii Nations 2017 event exclusive version of the figure, we also get to share a look at the fantastic Shakariki Sports bike included with this release!

GenM Level 2 is a straight up repaint of the still fantastic Ex-Aid body type, done up in GenM’s gorgeous trademark purple and black. Separating itself from the Ex-Aid release though, GenM includes parts to recreate both versions of his handheld weapon the Gashacon Bug Visor. And since this is the event exclusive, this version also comes with a wonderfully detailed and excellently done Shakariki Sports bike with its own wheel base for display. If you’re waiting it out to get the Web Exclusive release of this figure next year, you may regret it as it won’t include the bike.

We’ve attached the full 99 image gallery to this post, but you can see all the images as well as read our comprehensive review of this figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a blast from the past with a brand new gallery from Ultra Seven!

With the weight of declining retail sales this holiday season, reports are coming out from Bloomberg that Toys’R’Us, the only remaining national toy store, is considering closing up to 200 of its retail stores after the holiday season.

Toys’R’Us filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection in September as it was unable to pay the millions of dollars of debt that was coming due. However, due to its inability to pay toy manufacturers for the product on its shelves – specifically Hasbro and Mattel – the toy shopping season has dropped upwards of 15% compared to last year.

The exact number of potential store closings is only speculation, but the report from Bloomberg states from insiders that the company is projecting at least 100 stores and up to 200 stores total. This report comes on the heels of another report that stated Toys’R’Us won the ability in court to make sure their executives were paid $15 million dollars in bonuses for the 2017 fiscal year.

Our thoughts go out to the hard working employees who could be impacted by store closings. As to what could happen to upcoming Power Rangers Legacy items, which are exclusive to Toys’R’Us, is currently up in the air. We’ll keep you updated.

GET IN GEAR!

The good people at Shout! Factory have opened a page revealing release details for Power Rangers RPM: The Complete Series!

This five-disc set containing all 32 episodes of the fan-favorite season is currently scheduled for release on March 27, 2018 at a very modest price point of $16.97 USD.

However, this release is slightly bittersweet- RPM is the LAST Power Rangers season covered by Shout! Factory’s current licensing agreement, so this will be the final Complete Series from Shout! to hit stores.

“We’ll clear this with perfect co-op play!”

Toku Toy Box is bringing it back again with another new gallery from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!  When Emu Hojo managed to create the Mighty Brothers XX Gashat no one was more surprised than him about what came next. Two riders from one person! One half cool and collected Emu, one half Genius Gamer M (or rather Parad), the Mighty Brothers were an incredible tag team that took on Kuroto Dan when no one else could. Now they take him on in toy form with the release of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Double Action Gamer Level XX LR Set!

The Mighty Brothers are of course bringing back that excellent Ex-Aid/Mighty Action body type. We’ve seen it a few times and it’s always excellent. Each Brother is the perfect compliment to one another. The perfect foil to a Dangerous Zombie in your display, both are armed with Gashacon Key Slashers, multiple sets of hands, and a swap out part to recreate their signature pose. This set has all the charm, charisma, and slick colors to make the perfect addition to your collection!

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery to this post but you can also check out our extensive review of the Mighty Brothers below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next time with another new Ex-Aid gallery!
