After a a few smaller images were leaked last night we finally have our first full on look at Arms Change AC13 Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms! Currently on display at Tokyo Toy Show 2014 Kiwami Arms is shown in various stages of it’s transformation both pre and during the cast off of the included dummy Kachidoki Armor.

Kiwami Arms also looks to include the DJ Gun in it’s combined form with the Musou Saber, Taiken Mode. But what’s most awesome about these images is the confirmation that AC Kiwami Arms is FULLY compatible with previous Arms Change armors! In the second revealed image we see Kiwami wearing Gaim’s Orange Arms.  So expect to see some crazy combinations on top of this guy once he’s released!

Let’s Watch Wednesdays is back at it again to bring manly tears to you. Kamen Rider Den-O meets a new ally this week!

Urataros has joined the Den-Liner crew! But are his womanizing ways behind him? Obviously, not. Yet again he reels Ryutarou into more trouble. But a relationship will be reforged because of him. And Ryutarou must ask why his sister can’t remember something truly dear to her. Buried deep down are memories that bring tears to Airi’s eyes. And speaking of tears, his strength will make you cry! The 3rd Imagin of the Den-Liner appears. Kintaros! And next week, anew form!

Fun Fact #3

Yet another actor you’ve seen before appears in Kamen Rider Den-O! In Den-O actress Wakana Matsumoto portrayed the lovely and idolized Airi Nogami, older sister to our sometimes heroic main character. She would also later play Manami Kawasaki. A Gate, notorious thief,  and a bit of a gold digger from Kamen Rider Wizard who would cross paths with our titular hero.

Time for another official image dump! Bandai of Japan has just updated their official Ressha Sentai ToQger pages with new official images of:

  • DX Goseiger Ressha
  • DX Gokaiger Ressha
  • DX Yuudou Breaker (with Drill Ressha)

Goseiger & Gokaiger Resshas follow in the footsteps of the Kyoryuger & Go-Busters Resshas, all of which can form new heads and chest pieces for the DX ToQ Oh, each one resembling the main mecha of their respective series. The Yuudou Breaker is the personal weapon of the soon to be seen ToQ 6 and will include his Drill Ressha!

Check these new images out after the jump!

Fight Power! Fight Power! Fight Fight Fight Fight F-F-F-F-Fight!

And who better to bring the fight than everyone’s favorite evil, world conquering, backstabbing, brain switching, mad scientist extraordinaire!? Today’s gallery is of AC12 Arms Change Kamen Rider Duke!

Kamen Rider Duke Lemon Energy Arms is the 2nd of only two Energy Riders released at retail which seems odd considering his lack of appearances. However what isn’t odd is just how nice this guy is. As with all Arms Change figures Duke is of course from the main budget toyline, but he’s solidly made, well painted and is just tons of fun. Duke’s Lemon Energy Arms at first glance was thought to be a Mango Arms remold. However that isn’t the case! Read on to to see the differences between the two in our main gallery thread where we also have images of every Arms Change Duke has!

AND as a special bonus we’ve included a Baron Lemon Energy Arms conversion mini-tutorial! Though it’s as simple as removing the right screws and swapping some parts we wanted to make sure everyone had the opportunity to recreate this unique power for Kamen Rider Baron in toy form!

As speculated earlier in the series it seems ToQger will feature a new power up, Hyper Mode!

Accessible through the Hyper Ressha, Hyper Mode gives the ToQger’s bright golden train armor for the chest and shoulders. Something very reminiscent of the Super Goseigers. Though for now this power up is confirmed only to be used by ToQ 1 it’s entirely possible that the other members may have access to it as well!

These magazine scan also show us our first image of Hyper Mode in toy form with the ToQ 1 Hyper Mode vinyl. We get a great look a the DX Daikaiten Cannon which includes the Hyper Ressha. And we get looks at the very first Shadow Line vinyls! General Schwarz and the Kuros!

Kamen Rider Den-O has come around for another pass at Let’s Watch Wednesdays! All aboard for more adventures through time!

A new Imagin is on the horizon. A scheming, plotting, womanizer? First we had a peach, now it’s time for a turtle, Urataros is here! This slanderous “hero” has also made a contract with Ryutarou and with it comes a new form for Den-O, Rod Form! Why not let him reel you in? And Owner is also turning out to be quite the odd man. Where exactly does an eccentric rice eating, time-travelling, train owning man come from? Meanwhile a mysterious man with a watch still walks through time. But that’s a matter for much later, or much sooner. Time travel’s fun isn’t it?

Den-O Fun Fact #2

Kamen Rider Den-O featurers yet another toku alum. Seen in the very first episode is the lovely coffee hostess of the Den-Liner, Naomi. But astute fans may have already recognized this woman. Before Rina Akiyama played Naomi, in fact 6 year before this, she played Shouichi Tsugami’s young friend Mana on Kamen Rider Agito!

One of the most anticipated S.H. Figuarts of the year has just been released! S.H. Figuarts Tricera Ranger is of course from the classic series Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Or if you’re picking up the US release then he’s the original Blue Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! Either way this is one fantastic figure to add to your collection!

On his own Tricera Ranger is an absolutely gorgeous figure. In this photographers opinion he’s the best of the Zyurangers released thus far. This figure nails the look of his onscreen counterpart near perfectly. As you can see from the images in this and our previous Zyuranger/MMPR galleries, Tricera/Blue Ranger is perfectly suited to vehicles released in both the MMPR & Zyuranger toylines,  just like his team mates Dan/Billy will look right at home on any of them.

Tricera Ranger includes not only the standard accessories of extra hands, a Ranger Stick, and Ranger Slinger. But he also comes with his signature Tricera Lances as well as their combined form. AND he includes the newly molded Sabre Daggers & Ptera Arrow necessary to form the Howling Cannon! Of course for our Power Rangers fans out there that means you just got 2 steps closer to forming the Power Blaster! These accessories, as well as those included with S.H. Figuarts Mammoth Ranger gets us most of the way there, but the appropriate Mammoth Breaker will be included with the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Tiger Ranger.

If you’re on the fence about this figure, don’t be. S.H. Figuarts Tricera Ranger/Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger will not disappoint. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see over 60 images of this wonderful figure!

Continuing it’s trend of bringing actors back in to play their characters and sell merchandise Bandai of Japan has returned with the 2 key members of Team Baron! Zach AKA Kamen Rider Knuckle & Peco the soon to be Kamen Rider Shin Kurokage from the Gaim Summer Film!

Today Zack and Peco have dropped in to advertise upcoming DX Lock Seed premium sets. Zack is of course advertising his DX Kurumi (walnut) Lock along with the blank/Knuckle Rider indicator faceplate. As well as briefly mentioning the ACPB04 Arms Change Knuckle figure.

Meanwhile in a surprise reveal Peco has stopped in to advertise/announce the DX Matsubokuri (pinecone) Energy Lock Seed! Currently this lock is exclusive to Gaim’s upcoming Summer Film. It allows Peco to transform into the energy rider Shin Kurokage! This certainly raises hopes for anyone who thought BOJ might forget a rider or two from this franchise.

The mere existence of this lock means we could still see an Arms Change or SH Figuart of even this most obscure rider!

It’s time for TokuNation to take a dark turn down memory lane, all the way back to 1992. That was the year the film Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue was released. This film was the very definition of a grim gritty reboot for the beloved Kamen Rider franchise. As “Prologue” implies, this film was originally meant to set up a new rider TV series. Despite the films incredible practical & special effects, it’s dark re-imagining of the rider concept put off too many old school fans while simultaneously frightening new young fans of the time.

Until now Shin has been mostly relegated to making special appearances in Kamen Rider team-up films such as All-Riders VS Dai Shocker, Let’s Go Kamen Riders, or the Heisei VS Showa Taisen. But now Bandai & Tamashii Nations has shown the most monstrous of riders some serious love. Soon to be released is a Super Imaginative Chogokin figure of Shin. But that’s not all, recently released via the Tamashii Web Shop is S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin! And he’s the subject of today’s gallery as well!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin is the best representation of this rider’s grotesque form that’s ever been released. Though he’s lite in the accessories department, frankly Shin shouldn’t have any. He has no bike in his rider form, and unlike more modern riders Shin carries no weapons, and has never been shown to use any special powered up attacks. Instead relying on brute strength to fight other Cyborg Soldiers like himself. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the full gallery of this fantastic figure!
