A recent trademark filing has revealed the official logo for the next Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Saber!

The characters used for this logo formation translate to “Holy Blade.” This has led to fan speculation that Kamen Rider Saber will be a more mythical-themed series as opposed to the technology-based Kamen Riders of recent years. Sadly, story information for this new series remains unavailable at this time.

Be sure to join our Kamen Rider Saber Discussion Thread to share your thoughts and fears about the next stage in Kamen Rider history!

A new opponent has appeared for Kamen Rider Zero-One to challenge the heroes in their final act!

The newly-awakened Ark has acquired a human form and a transformation device- the Ark Driver Zero to begin the goal of wiping out humanity. But the vessels’ true power is awakened when it undergoes a singularity in combat with the other Riders.

As a result, a new and more powerful form is created: Kamen Rider Ark-One!

A few new magazine scans have been posted online detailing the next entry in the Mashin Sentai Kiramager arsenal!

This is our first proper look at the Gigant Driller– the personal Mecha belonging to KirameSilver. Gigant Driller transforms from its base form Mashin Drijan– a giant mining machine with three drills- into Mecha configuration to battle Yodonheim forces.

Two more Mashins will be introduced alongside Gigant Driller to enhance the Kiramagers’ abilities even further:

*Mashin Duston– a blue garbage truck
*Mashin Magellan– a green cement mixer

“The steel blue warrior! Tank Tank!”

In his berserker Hazard Form, Sento Kiryu can gain the upper hand in any fight. To contain this uncontrollable power, Sento develops a new Full Bottle to channel his strength and his consciousness. With the Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle, two new divergent forms are born! One with all the speed and agility of a rabbit, the crimson speedy jumper Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Rabbit Form! The other, bearing the firepower of it’s own military force and the strength to wield it, the steel blue warrior, Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form! Representing his home Seito in the 3-round battle, Build tests his new powers against the dangerous Kamen Rider Rogue….

Joining an ever growing family of riders, villains, and alternate forms, Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form will fight for love and peace as the beefy power house of your Build collection. A retool of the fantastic Rabbit Rabbit Form, Tank Tank utilizes what has been an excellent base figuart mold throughout the series, but also adds some extra flavor to the mix with the inclusion of the massive Full Full Match Break Tank Mode parts! Armed with these and the Full Bottle Buster, Tank Tank Form is a must own for any Kamen Rider Build fan.

We’ve assembled 60+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form for your viewing pleasure.

“There’s only one thing that can stop you, and that’s me!”

In a world where the life of the average human has been made easier by robotic helpers called Humagears, Hiden Intelligence is at the forefront of technological advancement. But with the passing of their founder, Korenosuke Hiden, the duties & responsibilities of president have passed on to his grandson, Aruto. Authorized to use the Progrise Keys & Zero-One Driver, this young man will fight to build a world where Humans & Humagers can coexist and smile together, as Kamen Rider Zero-One!

The Reiwa Era has begun with the first fantastic release from Kamen Rider Zero-One! I must say that Rising Hopper is an excellent design that’s translated to figure form rather perfectly. Exuding personality and functionality, Zero-One really has knocked it out of the park with it’s first release. While this figure isn’t armed with much aside from additional hands (his weapons comes with Vulcan) it’s undeniable how stylish and realistic this figure looks in person. And of course there’s that added bonus of black light reactive parts to drool over!

We’ve assembled 60+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Rising Hopper for your viewing pleasure. You can view the entire gallery and read through our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we have the formula for another great gallery with Build Tank Tank Form!
