Earlier today we had confirmation of this release and mere moments later official images began to circulate. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Special is officially on the way and looking great.

Type Special reuses much of the new parts created for the Dark Drive figuart that’s releasing in August. But we do see a new shift car, tire, head and chest to set this release apart. Unsurprisingly, Type Special does not come with the Signal Axe or Handle Sword in these photos. Those are only here to demonstrate that the figure can use them. 4 sets of hands and 4 Shift Cars round out the entire package of accessories sadly.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Special will be release in November as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 6264 yen. Get in touch with your preferred middleman or service now to reserve yours!

We’ve seen both on display recently at the Tamashii Nations Akiba showroom as well as the Tamashii Nations World Tour. Now both of these new figures are slated for actual release! Thanks to a handful of new magazine scans we can confirm both.

S.H. Figuarts kamen Rider Drive Type Special, Drives unique movie from from Surprise Future, is set for release in November. Type Special will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive and retail for 6264 yen.

S.H. Figuarts Dada or as he was originally known Agent #271, is an infamously weird villain from the original Ultraman TV series. While not as prolific as Baltan this Kaiju is definitely looking good as Bandai continues their productive line of Kaiju figuarts. Dada will be released in November for 7344 yen.

“Crush the Invader!”

It’s been some time since we’ve stepped back into the world of the dead, so it’s time to pay another visit to Kamen Rider Ghost. I’ve made my thoughts on this line known previously, so I was very hesitant to return to it again. But I’m giving it just one more go with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Necrom!

Necrom completes the trio of riders from the series, so in at least that regard he’s satisfying. But many of the design flaws which plagued the first several releases of this line are still present. Shoulder designs, wrist cuffs, an obtrusive overcoat. That being said, Necrom does look rather good and I do so love seeing full groups of riders together. Though there is a severe lack of accessories with this figure. You can see it all in my full review linked below.

Feel free to browse the full 60+ image gallery by clicking “Discussin on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with yet another new gallery from a personal favorite of mine, Kamen Rider Drive!

The Tamashii Nations Akiba Showroom has updated it’s displays once again with a slew of new releases and at least one yet to be confirmed:

  • S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Neo, slated for October release for 5500 yen.
  • S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon New Omega, will also be out in October and is priced at 5500 yen. Both Amazons will be retail releases.
  • S.H. Figuarts Retsu Ichijouji, the original Space Sheriff, Gavan has been lurking around as a prototype since last year but has now been confirmed for a Tamashii Web Exclusive release in November for 6264 yen!
  • S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Maximum Mighty Level 99. Though this figure has yet to be confirmed with a release date or price, it’s inclusion at the showroom is a very good indicator of it’s future.

“Second Tactic.”

The disgraced unlicensed doctor Hanaya Taiga had a chance to defend the world 6 years ago. But his failures kept him from being the Kamen Rider he should have been, and made him the anti-hero he is today. Rounding out the finale of our special 3 part gallery breakdown of the Migthy Action X Beginning Set is our gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Snipe Shooting Gamer Level 2!

Snipe Level 2 takes what worked with the new Ex-Aid body on the first two figures and continues that reliability. While the Snipe design may not be my personal favorite of the 3, this is a solidly made release that brings a few new things to the table. Namely a new shoulder sash assembly (that does not work well), a gorgeous head that does work and uses one clever trick, and his trusty sidearm the Gashacon Magnum. An extra part is included to transform this weapon to it’s Rifle Mode as well.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can check out the full gallery & review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Snipe Level 2 after the jump. Just click “discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post! And that rounds out our 3-part look at the first releases from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid! We’ll see you soon for another exciting gallery!

“Proceeding with level 2.”

And we’re back for part 2 of our Mighty Action X Beginning Set gallery series! Last time we took a look at the first rider in this set with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Action Gamer Level 2, and this time we get to spend some quality time with the world’s greatest surgeon, S.H Figuarts Kamen Rider Brave Quest Gamer Level 2! We decided that the best way to examine each of the 3 figures was in a gallery dedicated to each. After today we’ll just have Kamen Rider Snipe left!

Brave Level 2 is another wonderful example of how a new line can start strong. Like Ex-Aid, Brave excels in the details. Paint apps, well applied chest labels, molded details, the works. Brave looks fantastic. And he functions just like Ex-Aid, some shortcomings aside, this is a mold that can really emote when posed correctly. Brave is however a little lite on accessories, though he does come with one more set of hands than Ex-Aid, his only other accessory is the Explosive Freezing Gashacon Sword. Admittedly not a bad selection though.

We’ve assembled a full gallery of Brave after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this pose to see the full thread. In a few days we’ll examine the final member of the Mighty Action 3-pack with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Snipe Shooting Gamer Level 2!

“I’ll clear this with no continues!”

It’s a new beginning for S.H. Figuarts as the wonderfully wacky designs from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid arrive! Recently released as a retail 3-pack, Kamen Riders Ex-Aid, Brave & Snipe, have all made their debut. This massive 3-pack would be quite the beast to do one giant photo shoot of, so instead we’ve broken up the Mighty Action X Beginning Set into a special 3 part gallery!

Today we focus on part 1 (of 3) of the Mighty Action X Set with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Action Gamer Level 2! Our titular hero is a fantastic place for this new line to kick off. As a the first release of a new line, it needs to set the bar high, and I believe Ex-Aid manages to do that. This figure features an impressive level of detail befitting it’s design. Crisp paint apps, a mostly functional Gamer Driver with Gasshats, and some superb articulation. Throw in the included Gashacon Breaker in both it’s modes and you have a really well rounded release. This 3 pack also includes a massive display stage for the 3 figures, but we’ll take a look at that in part 3.

Feel free to browse our entire gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Action Gamer Level 2 after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in a few days with part 2 of the Mighty Action gallery series with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Brave Quest Gamer Level 2!

under Ultraman

In a surprising bit of news this month’s Figure Oh scans have revealed a previously unknown figuart from the Ultraman franchise. None other than S.H. Figuarts Dan Moroboshi!

The human form of Ultra Seven, Dan is looking pretty magnificent in figure form. Recreated here in his signature Ultra Garrison uniform, Dan is looking pretty sharp. He includes an alternate helmetless head, the Ultra Eye transformation device, and the Ultra Gun, as well as presumably several sets of hands.  Dan is set for an October release, seemingly at retail, for 6264 yen.

We’ll update this story as more information becomes available. The biggest question raised by this surprise reveal though, what does this mean for the prototypes of Retsu Ichijouji (Gavan) & Takeshi Hongo (Rider 1) that we’ve seen previously? Let’s hope it’s something good.

It was only a matter of time before these Amazons made their debut. After the critical & commercial success of the Amazon Prime series Kamen Rider Amazons it was a no-brainer to see the (so far) only new riders/forms from season 2 get the figure treatment.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Neo is currently set for release in October 2017 at a price point of 5940 yen. The lone scan available does not currently suggest this is a webshop item so he may very well be a normal retail release as Amazon Alpha & Omega were previously. However there IS an advertised Amazon Neo Amazon JP Edition, much like the previous riders. This version will not come with color coded flames, but seeming re-releases of standard red tamashii flame effects. This version will also be released in October at the higher price point of 7020 yen.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon New Omega likewise seems to be a retail release, just in November, similarly priced at 5940 yen. And just as with Neo, New Omega will also get the Amazon JP Edition treatment, assumably with yet more flame effects. This version will be release in November as well for 7020 yen.

“Fire All Engines!”

After a very very long wait, we’ve finally gotten a chance to take a look at Kamen Rider Drive’s final form with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron! The ultimate fusion of man & machine, this release is actually the deluxe Tire Blending Set as well. So not only do we get an excellent new figure, but several new Blended Tires too! Drive Type Tridoron is one of my favorite final forms in recent memory, and one that I feel brings entire design and aesthetic full circle. Does the figure do the same?

Drive Type Tridoron has been a long time coming. The TV series and various specials for Drive contained numerous riders and forms and slowly most of them have somehow made it out to market, so it’s no surprise that Drive’s final form has as well. A big, bulky, and powerful looking new form, Type Tridoron takes much of what works from this line of figuarts and admittedly a few faults as well. But it can’t be denied what an impressive presence it is in a Drive collection. Especially when armed with the mighty Trailer Cannon, or one of 3 fantastic Blended Tires included with this deluxe release. Each brings a unique flare to Drive’s look and a special weapon as well.

We’ve put together a huge 100+ image gallery of this figure after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the full gallery & review. Obviously there are still several more Drive related figuarts in the pipeline, but this is an incredibly solid release for a riders’ final form. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron is another excellent addition to any collection.

“Nice Drive!”
