“Hell Bros. At your service.”

The orphans Fu & Rai Washio were indoctrinated by Juzoburo Nanba, and raised to be weapons for the 3-sided war for the nation. Making use of the Nebula Steam Gun, the Washio brothers became Engine Bros & Remocon Bros! However, faced with the continued evolution of the Kamen Riders that threaten their master’s will, Fu Washio plays his trump card. Uniting the power of the Engine & Remocon Gears, Fu becomes Hell Bros!

S.H. Figuarts Hell Bros is another very familiar release for Build collectors. Using the iconic Night Rogue/Blood Stalk body for a base, Hell Bros builds on this with the gear theme inherited from the Bi-Kaisers. A gorgeous two-tone villain Hell Bros is armed with the versatile transforming Nebula Steam Gun system. If you have any experience with Rogue & Stalk, then you know this will be another great addition to your collection.

Twitter user @shin753315 has just shared a discovery that is sure to excite many fans of Kamen Rider Build. Like the recent Cross-Z New World, we’re about to get another V-Cinema taking place on this fresh Earth, with Kamen Rider Grease New World!

In the video attached to shin’s tweet, we can see that there’s a deluxe DVD/Blu Ray pack slated for release the same month as the standard edition, both due in November 2019. The deluxe set is retailing for 10,000 yen and will be sold through Premium Bandai. The deluxe pack will also include a new DX Full Bottle for Grease.

More details are scarce at the moment but as further information becomes available we’ll update this story.

“Wake up Cross-Z! Get great dragon!”

Unable to transform, Ryuga Banjou can only watch helplessly as Kazumi & Gentoku struggle against Kamen Rider Evol. But the battle before him can also push Ryuga beyond his limits. Stealing the Evol Dragon Bottle that was made from his own DNA, Banjou will unlock the power necessary to evolve even further. Reborn with even greater strength Ryuga has become Kamen Rider Great Cross-Z!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Great Cross-Z is a very basic but definitely well executed repaint of the original Kamen Rider Cross-Z release. A gorgeous figure now decked out in an Evol themed color scheme, Great Cross-Z is a perfect companion piece to your Build collection and fantastic stand-in if you missed out on the original Cross-Z Figuart. Luckily this release also comes pack with all the same accessories as the first, so you won’t miss out on any of the extra hands or that sweet Beat Crosser. As a huge fan of the show, I’m really pleased to have Great Cross-Z and it’s getting me even more pumped for the upcoming Cross-Z Magma!

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery to this post, but you can also check out the full review thread for Great Cross-Z by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with another Build gallery for S.H. Figuarts Hell Bros!

As Wonderfest 2019 gets underway we’re due for a few reveals in tokusatsu world this weekend. To kick things off we have 2 teased releases from SSSS.Gridman!

First up is Figma Rikka Takarada! The high school heroine of SSSS.Gridman and member of the Gridman Alliance is the first of the human characters to get an official product image so far. When she was teased back in November alongside series antagonist Akane Shinjo, we didn’t have a clear indication of when we’d see official prototype images. GSC has finally provided this first look via WonFest and we should be able to expect some release information for Rikka in the near future as well.

Next up is a Soft Vinyl Ghoulgilas! This Kaiju was originally teased for release back in late December with just a silhouette. Now we have our first test shot image of the figure announcing plans to roll it out for release. In case you’ve forgotten, this cyborg like dragon monster faced off against Gridman in the first episode of the series. Presumably this vinyl will be in scale with the Gridman & Grid Knight Figma’s as well. Release details should come at a later date.

We’ll be sure to keep you up to date as more WonFest 2019 news rolls in!

under Power Rangers

Via Screen Rant we have our first look at the brand new 6″ Basic Figure Assortment from Power Rangers Beast Morphers! In what’s already shaping up to be a fantastic improvement over figure’s of lines in years’ past, the 6″ Basic figure assortment includes 3 Rangers & 2 villains!

When scientists convert the power of the Morphing Grid into Morph-X, a group of teens are infused with animal DNA to become the POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS and protect the Morph-X from any villains who may try to steal it. The figures in the POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS BASIC FIGURES Assortment stand at 6 inches tall, feature multiple points of articulation, and includes 2 accessories so kids can imagine the martial arts action of the POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS TV show. Plus, with the included Morph-X key, kids can imagine unlocking powers in the Beast-X Morpher toy. The assortment includes the RED RANGER Figure, BLUE RANGER Figure, YELLOW RANGER Figure, CYBERVILLAIN BLAZE Figure and TRONIC Figure. Imagine the CYBERVILLAIN BLAZE and TRONIC Figures commanding the forces of Evox to steal the Morph-X and have the RED, BLUE and YELLOW RANGER Figures fighting to protect the Morph-X! Find other POWER RANGERS figures and gear, including POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS toys, to expand the morphinominal action. Each sold separately. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide.

On top of this massive reveal, Screen Rant has also exclusively released images of the upcoming roleplay toy to have this year for Power Rangers, the Beast-X Morpher!

Get ready to Go Go POWER RANGERS! In the POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS series, Rangers morph into their superhuman form by activating their Morpher. Now kids can imagine that they’re activating their own super powers with the POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS BEAST-X MORPHER toy. Putting it on the wrist and saying “It’s Morphin Time” activates music, lights, and sound effects. Swinging it around as if battling monsters unleashes special animal-inspired sounds. Insert the included MORPH-X KEY to activate different character sounds and phrases. Look for other POWER RANGERS items that include MORPH-X KEYS to unlock even more sounds and phrases, along with other  POWER RANGERS figures and gear to expand the morphinominal action. Each sold separately. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide.

This pair of exciting reveals joins the equally seismic reveal this morning of the Beast-X Ultrazord! And all of this is 8 days before Toy Fair New York 2019! When more exciting new items from this series’ lineup are revealed, we’ll be back with an update.

After the initial reveal of this figure in early January, we haven’t been offered much in the way of further updates for S.H. Figuarts Oma Zi-O. However, thanks to a new post on the official S.H. Figuarts Blog we have two new looks at the upcoming figure. While we still don’t have any sort of release or pricing details yet, we can certainly see that Oma Zi-O will be a lavish and ornate repaint of the first Zi-O Figuart.

The Figuarts Blog does mention to check back in regards to future releases, and we doubt that after seeing the figure twice now that it won’t see the light of day at some point. So as release details become available we’ll be sure to update you.

“Why?! Why did you kill Shizuka?!”

Once an orphan, Ginga Suzumura became an inheritor of the Zero armor before his new life was shattered by the Dark Knight Kiba. The loss of his loved ones gave Ginga, now known as Rei, the determination needed to master the Zero armor, and seek revenge. Mistaking Garo for the murderous Kiba, the two heroes clashed before uniting to defeat the dark knight. Walking a lonely path no more, Bandai has given Rei the treatment he deserves as S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Zero! 

Seihou Zero joins the previously released Garo as a much needed update for a character who’s deserved it for so long. For the first time in over a decade this character has been truly recreated in figure form. Zero brings to the line his stylish silver paint job, but also the deadly dual Ginroken. These curve blades can also combine into the massive Ginga Ginroken! A fantastic companion piece to Seihou Garo, we can only hope that more Makai Knights are on the way.

Check out our full 70 image gallery of S.H. Figuar0ts Shinkocchou Seihou Zero after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be taken to the full gallery and review. Next time we’re paying a visit to the Game Master once again!

“Kamen Ride.”

Exactly 1 month ago, Bandai’s Figuarts Blog teased the return of a popular figure to the line. Seeing yet another surge in his already immense popularity thanks to a crossover in Kamen Rider Zi-O, Masahiro Inoue’s Kadoya Tsukasa/Kamen Rider Decade is coming back to destroy collector’s wallets once again with an updated Figuarts release!

The fantastic S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade is returning in a new Neo Decadriver Version, featuring the updated accessory used by Tsukasa as of his Zi-O appearances. It’s quite likely that since this version of the figure does indeed feature the Neo Decadriver that it will also come with the back half of the Heisei Rider cards of W through Build. Other accessories, as well as specific yen pricing are not known at this time. This figure will be released in  August 2019. 

As is often the case with new reveals like this, we only have a selection of the proper official images as provided by @Tokullector. When the full listing goes up on the Tamashii Nations site we’ll update this story.

under Godzilla

Artist & writer Matt Frank just dropped us a line to let us know that after several years in limbo, the second half of his & writer Chris Mowry’s critically acclaimed series Godzilla Rulers of Earth, is finally being collected in paperback form!

IDW released Rulers in single issues from 2013-2015 completing a full 25 issue run, making it the longest running Godzilla ongoing comic ever, eclipsing the original Marvel run by 1 issue. Originally collected in 6 smaller trade paperbacks, the Complete Rulers of Earth Volume 1 came out in 2016, though it’s now out of print. 3 years on IDW has finally announced the Godzilla: Complete Rulers of Earth Volume 2! This volume will collect the second half of the series, issues 14-25.

As of now the scheduled release date for Godzilla: Complete Rulers of Earth Volume 2 is August 13, 2019 and retails for $29.99. We encourage you to head to your Local Comic Shop and make sure you get in an order for it before the FOC (Final Order Cutoff) through Diamond Comics which is at currently mistakenly listed as 12/31/2039. We just recommend you begin talking to your local shop in the near future if you want to grab a copy of this book. Volume 1 has been out of print for some time and fetches a decent amount on the secondary market. If you’re unsure as to the local shops in your area, you can use the Comic Shop Locator Service to find one now!

Seen displayed originally at Tamashii Nations 2018 back in October, we finally have an update on what could possibly be the final S.H. Figuarts release from Kamen Rider Amazons!

The S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha & Omega Last Judgement Set, has finally been officially announced after several months in limbo. Representing Amazon Alpha & Omega as they appeared in their final and ultimately deadly battle with one another, these figures are both decked out in literal blood splatter. They both took quite a few hits in that last fight after all. Though this set won’t bring anything else new to the table and will likely be reduced from the number of accessories each rider originally came with, it looks like it’ll be a great addition to any Amazons collection.

The Alpha & Omega Last Judgement set will be released in July 2019 for 11, 880 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. If you want to procure an order for this set, it’s best to keep an eye out with your preferred middleman service or seller in the near future.
