“Now, Enjoy a taste of hell.”

The dead man who walks finally gets the renewal treatment he deserves after languishing for nearly 8 years with the inferior original figure. Katsumi Daido, the Kamen Rider who would’ve taken the city of Fuuto with his absolute strength, faced off against Kamen Rider W in the A To Z: Gaia Memories of Fate feature film. Now he can finally face off against his rival in premium figure form with the recently released S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Eternal!

Seihou Eternal is a lavish love letter to this one-off villain. Made from the same exquisite Seihou W mold, Eternal is a dream for posing. But more than that, this figure is spared no expense for his accessories. Decked out with the “Strengthening Armament” parts of 26 full Gaia Memory Slots, alternate empty slots are also included. We even get a whopping 6 sets of  hands, 3 Gaia Memories, the Eternal Edge dagger, and the fantastic Eternal Robe! This cape accessory is by far the greatest achievement of this figure. Fully poseable, thanks to metal wires, this cape can assume a variety of natural and dynamic poses that make this figure feel like it walked right off the screen.

We’ve attached the full 100+ image gallery to this post, but you can also check out our lengthy review of this figure in the full gallery thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this. We’ll be back soon to cancel the apocalypse with a round of galleries from Pacific Rim Uprising!

Revealed via design scans only last week, the Bandai Candy blog is now teasing us with the first prototype images of the Super Minipla Muteki Shogun! Specifically, the component shown off in these images is Red Saruder.

Muteki Shogun, along with Kakure Daishogun & Tsubasamaruu, we’re all teased to be in planning stages only last week thanks to some newly released sketches from the Super Minipla Encyclopedia. With these first prototype images it looks like the project is moving forward!

“Red Fists Burning In A Blaze! Blue Chained Puzzles In A Craze!“

The latest release from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has arrived and the Bugster Parad is here to prove he’s still on Emu’s level! Using the powerful Gashat Gear Dual with a Gamer Driver produces a unique fusion of Parad’s two powerful level 5o forms as S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Para-DX Perfect Knockout Gamer Level 99!

Para-DX Level 99 is so far the 2nd figuart we’ve gotten of this character (along with the L Mighty Brother), but this time it’s quite a bite more of a unique one. Level 99 is a powerful and imposing looking form with an array of special abilities. In figure terms, Level 99 is a gorgeously ornate figure that despite the loincloth/skirt has a dynamic range of movement that brings him to life. Armed with the Gashcon Parabragun and 3 sets of hands, Para-DX Level 99 should be a welcome addition for any Ex-Aid Display.

We’ve attached the full gallery of 60+ images to this post, but you can also check out our full review of Para-DX Level 99 by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in the near future with a trio of galleries from Pacific Rim Uprising as well some from Kamen Rider W and the original Kamen Rider TV series.

After a nearly 4 year long wait, and several appearances at Tamashii Nations events in the last year, a new Shinkocchou Seihou release is finally on the way from Kamen Rider Hibiki! Joining the ranks of this top quality sub-line of special releases is Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Ibuki!

Kamen Rider Ibuki was the secondary rider of Hibiki’s TV series. The youngest of the original 3 Oni of the series, Ibuki abandoned his human name (Iori Izumi) once he gained his powers. This figure appears to gorgeously replicate Ibuki every bit as well as the line did with Hibiki years ago. Ibuki will include his Ongekikan Reppuu trumpet-gun, a set of disc animals, his Oni Whistle for transforming, and several more accessories.

We don’t have the exact release details available yet, but given the release of these partial images, a full set as well as that retail information will be available shortly. We’ll update you as soon as we can! Credit to @_Erasu for digging up these initial images as well.

A new Super Minipla Encyclopedia has just been released (images from Tendou Toys), and within it’s pages are a number of current and upcoming releases. Among these are also preliminary designs for other projects in the pipeline. So while not revealed physically yet, the most significant items of interest contained in the book are a trio of projects from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!

Following up from the soon to be released Liveman sets, Kakuranger makes a ton of sense given what the collector market is hoping for. And so far we have general design for Muteki Shogun, Kakure Daishogun, & Tsubasamaru! That’s quite the triple threat of new Super Minipla if this is indeed the next project the design team embarks on. With Zyuranger kits wrapped up and Liveman about to drop, these would be welcome additions indeed.

The Encyclopedia makes mention of several past sentai and even features some photos of vintage Candy Toy & Gashapon Robo sets from shows like Kousoku Sentai Turboranger. Could we see a series like that next on the horizon? We’ll be sure to update you if so!

“Appear Daizyujin!”

We know this one’s been out for a while, but when you’re dealing with something this incredible, it takes a bit of time to do the job right. So we’ve taken our time and shot an in depth gallery of nearly 200 images, with a full length 7 part review of this fantastic release. It’s well past time we share with you our in depth look at the Soul of Chogokin SOC GX-76 Daizyujin! Of course for the western collectors out there this is none other than the MMPR Megazord!

Daizyujin is that most iconic of Sentai mecha to those of us in the west. It’s gone through various toylines, updates, and revisions over the years, and finally Tamashii Nations has tackled it with an entry in their long line of SOC’s. This figure sat out to recreate the iconic designs of the 5 Guardian Beasts and their two combined forms using modern engineering. The results are near flawless. We have a die-cast laden, poseable, proportionate, and imposing figure to add to our collections. Special note, our review piece today (provided by the infinitely generous TokuChris) features the western Bluefin distribution exclusive packaging. Consisting of new MMPR themed box art.

We’ve attached the MASSIVE 195 image gallery of SOC Daizyujin to this post. But you can also read our lengthy review of this set by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. This gallery & review were a labor of love for me. And if you’re a fan of Zyuranger or MMPR, I hope it does the job of making you want this set.

“Amazon.”

As we approach the theatrical release of the Kamen Rider Amazons film on May 19th, a new trailer has just dropped. Giving us our first full length look at the film and a glimpse of it’s plot. However the biggest reveal of the trailer is in fact the brand new rider featured in the film! Kamen Rider Amazon Neo Alpha, as implied by the name, corresponds to Chihiro/Amazon Neo and is based on that suit design.

Given the nature of repaints in the Amazons franchise, would it likely to expect an S.H. Figuart of Neo Alpha at some point? Time will tell. If so, you can bet we’ll be here to report it!
