“Hey rookies, meet my new friends.”

Blaze was meant to be a hero, a Power Ranger! Trained by Grid Battleforce with his teammates Roxy & Ravi, Blaze was chosen to become the Red Ranger. But on the day the team should have formed, fate and Evox, intervened. Taking the essence of Blaze and his abilities, Evox has created an Avatar of the would be hero, a new Cyber Villain general to lead his armies of Tronics & Robotrons! Now what began as a simple grudge between the original Blaze & Devon Daniels has morphed into something else entirely, as the would be ranger turned avatar battles the man who’s taken his place, the new Red Ranger……

Blaze joins the ever growing Power Rangers Lightning Collection as one of a handful of evil rangers in the line. An excellent addition, Blaze brings with him an intricately detailed sculpt with all the articulation hallmarks we’ve come to expect from this line, as well as a ton of accessories. Blaze is armed with extra hands, both his sword & an effect part for it and even the Robotron-Maker briefcase/laptop, but also includes an alternate unmasked head featuring a brilliant likeness of Blaze actor Colby Strong! As far as villains go, Blaze may be the best one in the line yet.

Possibly one of the most popular Ultramen in franchise history is coming around for a victory lap for his 10th anniversary. 10 years ago the young upstart hero Ultraman Zero made his debut and ever since he’s grown to be one of the most memorable and lasting characters the franchise has ever produced. Now a mentor to the latest hero from Tsuburaya productions, Ultraman Z, Tamashii Nations has just announced a brand new S.H. Figuarts release for Zero!

Releasing in October 2020 S.H. Figuarts Shining Ultraman Zero is headed our way as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 6600 yen. Making this Zero’s 5th figure since Ultraman made the switch from Ultra-Act to S.H. Figuarts, it’s clear that this ever popular hero can always turn a profit. What can the future hold for further Figuarts Ultraman Zero releases? Time will tell! For now, stay tuned to TokuNation for any and all updates on this figure.

“Forcerise!”

In a world ruled by Humagears, Aruto Hiden has no allies. Or at least, not many. With the Zero-One Driver taken, and his options limited, a mysterious stranger gifts him the trump card he needs. A forceriser! Thus a new and powerful form is born, Kamen Rider Zero Zero-One!

Just revealed by Tamashii Nations Kamen Rider Zero Zero-One (001) is about to join the S.H. Figuarts line up of Hiden, AIMS, and ZAIA Kamen Riders. Set for release in October 2020 Zero Zero-One will retail for 6600 yen. The figure will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive as well. Check back with us to see further updates on this release in the coming months!

Bandai has been knocking it out of the park recently in regards to their candy toy lines. Super Minipla Liner Boy, Super Minipla Leopardon, Shodo GoGoV, So-Do Kamen Rider Ichi-Gata, etc. And adding to that winning streak is the next premium series of Shodo-X releases!

Ready to go, count zero, it’s three heroes from Kamen Rider Agito! We’ve seen several releases from Agito thus far, but this one looks toe be possibly the nicest thus far, really earning that Premium Bandai release status. This wave includes Kamen Rider’s Gills, G3-X, and Agito Burning Form! But that’s not all, the wave is rounded out by a wealth of accessories and option parts as illustrated by the Bandai Candy Blog post featuring these riders.

This set will be released as Premium Bandai exclusive set in September 2020, for 5400 yen. Join the ongoing discussion of all things, Shodo, So-Do, Yu-Do, and everything in between in our linked discussion thread and be on the lookout for this wave of Shodo-X!

Though new releases tend to come fast and slip past us in Bandai’s ever growing So-Do line of candy toy figures, we absolutely had to spotlight this latest reveal. Exclusive (so far) to the Kamen Rider: Reiwa The First Generation  theatrical film, Kamen Rider Ichi-Gata is about to arrive in So-Do form!

Though Aruto never knew his real father, he was cared for as a child by a Humagear bearing his name and likeness. Unbeknownst to Aruto this humagear, Soreo Hiden, not only was instrumental in the launch of the Ark satellite, but was this world’s first Kamen Rider! Using the Rocking Hopper progrise key Soreo became the powerful Kamen Rider Ichi-Gata (Type 1). Able to restore berserk humagears and go toe to toe with Zero-One in battle, Ichi-Gata will be a must have addition to Zero-One collections and for So-Do fans in particular.

For now we just have the Bandai candy blog’s official reveal of the figure, but it should be in the upcoming So-Do wave beyond May when we’re getting Metal Cluster Hopper, 001, & Zonjis. Join in on the ever growing discussion in our popular So-Do discussion thread on the forums.

Recently revealed via magazine images, the piercing shining hero Kirame Silver is about to join the Kiramagers on their adventures. Armed with the Shiny Kiramechanger and recording his their and his own adventures in his journal, Crystallia Takamichi will bring an extra bit of dazzle to the team as he hunts for treasures the world over.

Kohei Shoji will be joining the cast of Mashin Sentai Kiramager in the near future. Though we don’t know the specific episode Kirame Silver will debut in, it’s coming up soon.

“This ends today!” 

It’s been 8 years since the events with the Inves, since Kouta Kazuraba left Earth. Now, Takatora Kureshima finds himself in the war torn Torkia Republic, the old testing ground for the Yggdrasill Corporation’s Project Ark. The populace lives largely underground amidst secret deadly battles that gangs of young men are forced to engage in, using the powers of Kamen Riders! As these proto-riders battle, and Takatora struggles to regain his memories, scheming characters from his past have their own goals. Has Takatora truly changed? Can he escape his past? Will the true Kamen Rider Zangetsu take the stage once more?

Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms is a brilliant release from Tamashii Nations. Taking the now 6 year old Gaim Kachidoki Arms mold and giving it a fresh color pallet and some new parts, Tamashii has managed to create a fitting final form for the elder Kureshima brother. Armed with the Kachidoki Flags & DJ Gun Taiken Mode, this figure will be a commanding presence in any collection. And if you happen to have the other Zangetsu releases on hand, you’ll see just how perfectly this form fits in with the family.

We’ve assembled a full 50+ image gallery for your viewing pleasure after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the complete gallery thread. Next time, we head back to the Morphin’ Grid with a new gallery of Lightning Collection Blaze!

“You can see the future… But I can go beyond it.”

The Day of Ohma. The day when Zi-O would assume all his powers and rule the world, in one future. In another, Sougo Tokiwa gave up his Ziku Driver and another Kamen Rider, Geiz, would rise up to save the world. In a world where time has seemingly stopped, the True Savior was born. Now, as prophesied by White Woz, the Geiz of the present is headed towards a fateful battle with Zi-O. With the powers of the future in hand, Myokoin Geiz becomes Kamen Rider Geiz Revive!

Goretsu! Shippu! Continuing a recent trend from Tamashii Nations, the True Savior Set for Geiz Revive comes equipped with the parts necessary to recreate either of his powerful forms. By default we have Goretsu, the bulky power based form armed with the Zican Jaclaw in it’s saw form. A beast of a form with all the bulk to back up it’s blows. With some pretty easy parts swapping though you can assemble the stunning blue Shippu form. This speed based flight capable form is armed with a new form for the Jaclaw as well and it’s, a claw! Both forms have their merits but I’m happy to report that either is actually very well thought out and designed. Thankfully Tamashii is getting better and better at form swapping with S.H. Figuarts.

Check out 60 images of Kamen Rider Geiz Revive after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full review and gallery thread. Next time, we return to the stage of destiny with Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms!

“Looks like we’re in the same boat!”

800 years ago the King, the first OOO, oversaw the creation of the Greeed. Given life by the Core Medals these creatures filled with immense craving, were unable to fill the voids of their beings. The Greeeds sought to consume the world of man to sate their sense of craving, but before they could they were sealed away by OOO. In the present, Eiji Hino was minding his own business when the seal on the Greeed was broken by Ankh, releasing them once more. Forever craving to be whole, only the power of the King can stop them. Intending to find a human pawn, Ankh stumbles upon Eiji and a bond is made. Handing the Driver of the king and the Core Medals over, Ankh allows Eiji to become Kamen Rider OOO! Beginning as a begrudging alliance, one of the greatest friendships in Kamen Rider history is born. Anything goes it’s coming up OOO!

Shinkocchou Seihou OOO came out at the tail end of 2019 but we’re just getting around to this figure for 2020, and I couldn’t be happier. For years the original line of OOO figuarts have irked me with their various issues, but now we have a fresh start and what a glorious one it is. A gorgeous figure that looks as though it walked right off screen, armed with the Medaljalibur, capable of combo changing with other Seihou OOO releases, and posing with the best of the best, OOO is a very welcome addition to my collection. You can see Seihou OOO TaToBa Combo together with the other 9 main OOO Combos as well as the Birth’s and even compared to the original TaToBa all in the gallery linked below!
