Bandai Japan has offered fans a quick image of the next Kamen Rider Zi-O entry in the SH Figuarts action figure series!
The time has come for Zi-O’s upgrade form, Kamen Rider Zi-O II to receive a proper figure. The basic suit details are shown in Figuart style, with a cryptic NEXT message on the Zikan Driver.
Sadly, no price or release details have been confirmed for Zi-O II at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further SH Figuarts news!
Yet another veteran Kamen Rider actor has returned for the celebration that is Kamen Rider Zi-O!
Kimito Totani will once again reprise the iconic role of Daiki Kaito, Kamen Rider DiEnd!
In addition, DiEnd appears to be using a new version of his signature weapon & henshin device, the DiEnd Driver. It seems likely that DiEnd’s power of summoning Kamen Riders to fight now extends to AnotherRiders.
Feel free to join in our Ongoing Zi-O Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears about this exciting series!
DON’T SAY NO! JUST LIVE MORE!
The Kamen Rider Zangetsu Stage Play opened up in Japan last week on March 9th, and if you aren’t able to fly to Japan between then and March 31st 2019 to go see it then we have some very good news for you; as you may have already guessed from the title, the Zangetsu Stage Play will, in fact, be getting a home theater release in the near future.
Both the Blu-Ray release and DVD are currently up for pre-order on Amazon Japan as of the time of this writing. The DVD will retail for 6,261 yen while the Blu-Ray will retail for 8,669 yen and will also include the DX Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms Ride Watch.
Either way, both will see release on October 10th 2019.
After several delays, we at last have received some new information about the further adventures of the Golden Knight, GARO!
The next film in this dark action series will be known as Moonbow Traveler! The film follows up on the story from 2014’s series Makai No Hana.
The core cast members from Makai No Hana have been confirmed as returning for this film-
*Masei Nakayama reprises his role as Raiga, inheritor of the Golden Knight.
*Natsumi Ishibashi returns as Priestess Mayuri.
*Atomu Mizuishi takes up the mantle of Makai Knight Crow.
*And last but certainly not least, fan-favorite Yukijiro Hotaru will once again portray the loyal servant Gonza.
Garo: Moonbow Traveler is currently scheduled for release in Autumn 2019!
In a rather surprising turn of events, we’ve just recently learned that the next Super Sentai dub to air in South Korea will not be last year’s Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai PatRanger, but rather the 43rd Super Sentai series: Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger which is set to debut later this weekend.
It’s no secret that Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger was a big hit over there, which saw release in South Korea under the “Power Rangers Dino Force” title. It was such a success that an entirely new sequel series titled Dino Force Brave was put into production. South Korea chose to skip Lupin VS Pat, for now, is likely a reaction to the numerous similarities Ryusoulger has to Kyoryuger, and how well that series did over there.
it is currently unknown if Ryusoulger will see a simultaneous air time in Korea as it does in Japan, or if there’ll be a delay between episodes but we’ll be sure to bring you an update on the situation as more info becomes clear.
UPDATE: We now know that the Ryusoulger dub will begin airing in August 2019.
Another, exciting new clip for Power Rangers Beast Morphers was just recently released online. the episode is titled “End of the Road”, and the synopsis can be found below:
“Zoey tries to convince the citizens of Coral Harbor to use Morph-X powered bikes instead of cars, but Blaze uses this opportunity to execute an evil plan.”
You can check out the preview in the box below, and be sure to check back with us once the episode airs this Saturday, March 16th 2019 and join our discussion thread.
ACCESS FLASH!

To stop Blood Stalk, to save Sento, to reclaim Pandora’s box, Banjou will bathe in the fires of his own rage! Born from the burnt Dragon Magma Full Bottle, Cross-Z undergoes his ultimate transformation. Let’s see just how bright this fire burns in our latest gallery, with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z Magma!!
Cross-Z Magma is a lavish repaint and retool of the fantastic Cross-Z version of the Build body type, that we’ve seen numerous times in this line. Decked out in alternating hues of metallic orange and gold paint, adorned with a number of ornate dragon faces, and equipped with the massive pair of Pyro Wings on his back, Cross-Z Magma is a fierce and striking figuart. The included Magma Knuckle which is removable from the Build Driver, and can transform, adds an extra layer of playability to this figure or any other rider you wish as well.
Following up from two other reveals at the week long Tamashii Shanghai event, Ultraman Ginga & Ultraman Geed Magnificent, we now have a third! S.H. Figuarts Ultraman X Bemstar Armor!
The Bemstar Armor was officially revealed via the Tamashii Figuarts blog, giving us a selection of official photos to drool over. However shortly after, it was physically put on display at the Shanghai event giving us a fantastic look at this possibly (?) upcoming figure. As of now there are no release details for the Bemstar Armor, and in fact we aren’t sure if it’s going to be released as just a set of armor or if we’re looking at a re-release of Ultraman X with this armor included.
As more details emerge we’ll continue our reporting on this figure.
