Bad news for import collectors-

JapanPost has announced that all EMS and AirMail shipments to the United States will be suspended beginning April 24, 2020 due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns. SAL shipments were previously suspended for the same reason.

Any shipments sent out via EMS prior to the suspension will likely experience delays.

“You can see the future… But I can go beyond it.”

The Day of Ohma. The day when Zi-O would assume all his powers and rule the world, in one future. In another, Sougo Tokiwa gave up his Ziku Driver and another Kamen Rider, Geiz, would rise up to save the world. In a world where time has seemingly stopped, the True Savior was born. Now, as prophesied by White Woz, the Geiz of the present is headed towards a fateful battle with Zi-O. With the powers of the future in hand, Myokoin Geiz becomes Kamen Rider Geiz Revive!

Goretsu! Shippu! Continuing a recent trend from Tamashii Nations, the True Savior Set for Geiz Revive comes equipped with the parts necessary to recreate either of his powerful forms. By default we have Goretsu, the bulky power based form armed with the Zican Jaclaw in it’s saw form. A beast of a form with all the bulk to back up it’s blows. With some pretty easy parts swapping though you can assemble the stunning blue Shippu form. This speed based flight capable form is armed with a new form for the Jaclaw as well and it’s, a claw! Both forms have their merits but I’m happy to report that either is actually very well thought out and designed. Thankfully Tamashii is getting better and better at form swapping with S.H. Figuarts.

Check out 60 images of Kamen Rider Geiz Revive after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full review and gallery thread. Next time, we return to the stage of destiny with Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms!

The organization behind the mega-convention San Diego Comic Con has unfortunately decided to cancel the 2020 event, previously scheduled for July 23-26 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The SDCC leadership released the following statement regarding cancellation-


“For the first time in its 50-year history San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC), the organizers behind the annual pop culture celebration, announced today with deep regret, that there will be no Comic-Con in 2020. The event will instead return to the San Diego Convention Center from July 22-25, 2021. Recognizing that countless attendees save and plan for its conventions each year, and how many exhibitors and stakeholders rely upon its events for a major portion of their livelihood, they had hoped to delay this decision in anticipation that COVID-19 concerns might lessen by summer. Continuous monitoring of health advisories and recent statements by the Governor of California have made it clear that it would not be safe to move forward with plans for this year.”

Generally, SDCC has been the site for major product reveals from Hasbro and other producers. While many have speculated that traditional SDCC presentations could switch to an online debut format, nothing has been confirmed at time of writing.
