Bandai has been knocking it out of the park recently in regards to their candy toy lines. Super Minipla Liner Boy, Super Minipla Leopardon, Shodo GoGoV, So-Do Kamen Rider Ichi-Gata, etc. And adding to that winning streak is the next premium series of Shodo-X releases!

Ready to go, count zero, it’s three heroes from Kamen Rider Agito! We’ve seen several releases from Agito thus far, but this one looks toe be possibly the nicest thus far, really earning that Premium Bandai release status. This wave includes Kamen Rider’s Gills, G3-X, and Agito Burning Form! But that’s not all, the wave is rounded out by a wealth of accessories and option parts as illustrated by the Bandai Candy Blog post featuring these riders.

This set will be released as Premium Bandai exclusive set in September 2020, for 5400 yen. Join the ongoing discussion of all things, Shodo, So-Do, Yu-Do, and everything in between in our linked discussion thread and be on the lookout for this wave of Shodo-X!

Though new releases tend to come fast and slip past us in Bandai’s ever growing So-Do line of candy toy figures, we absolutely had to spotlight this latest reveal. Exclusive (so far) to the Kamen Rider: Reiwa The First Generation  theatrical film, Kamen Rider Ichi-Gata is about to arrive in So-Do form!

Though Aruto never knew his real father, he was cared for as a child by a Humagear bearing his name and likeness. Unbeknownst to Aruto this humagear, Soreo Hiden, not only was instrumental in the launch of the Ark satellite, but was this world’s first Kamen Rider! Using the Rocking Hopper progrise key Soreo became the powerful Kamen Rider Ichi-Gata (Type 1). Able to restore berserk humagears and go toe to toe with Zero-One in battle, Ichi-Gata will be a must have addition to Zero-One collections and for So-Do fans in particular.

For now we just have the Bandai candy blog’s official reveal of the figure, but it should be in the upcoming So-Do wave beyond May when we’re getting Metal Cluster Hopper, 001, & Zonjis. Join in on the ever growing discussion in our popular So-Do discussion thread on the forums.

“This ends today!” 

It’s been 8 years since the events with the Inves, since Kouta Kazuraba left Earth. Now, Takatora Kureshima finds himself in the war torn Torkia Republic, the old testing ground for the Yggdrasill Corporation’s Project Ark. The populace lives largely underground amidst secret deadly battles that gangs of young men are forced to engage in, using the powers of Kamen Riders! As these proto-riders battle, and Takatora struggles to regain his memories, scheming characters from his past have their own goals. Has Takatora truly changed? Can he escape his past? Will the true Kamen Rider Zangetsu take the stage once more?

Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms is a brilliant release from Tamashii Nations. Taking the now 6 year old Gaim Kachidoki Arms mold and giving it a fresh color pallet and some new parts, Tamashii has managed to create a fitting final form for the elder Kureshima brother. Armed with the Kachidoki Flags & DJ Gun Taiken Mode, this figure will be a commanding presence in any collection. And if you happen to have the other Zangetsu releases on hand, you’ll see just how perfectly this form fits in with the family.

We’ve assembled a full 50+ image gallery for your viewing pleasure after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the complete gallery thread. Next time, we head back to the Morphin’ Grid with a new gallery of Lightning Collection Blaze!

A new image has been posted online revealing some upcoming releases for the Mashin Sentai Kiramager toyline!

This is our first look at the equipment belonging to the teams’ SIXTH RANGER- known as KirameSilver according to earlier toy listings.

KirameSilvers’ unique henshin device is the Shiny KirameChanger– a wrist mounted device with a large blue jewel.

Meanwhile, Silvers’ signature weapon is called the ShinyBreaker– a jackhammer based device that likely has additional configurations.

Both items are scheduled for release on May 23 2020 so KirameSilver should appear on screen around that time.
