“Even if I’m weak on my own, I must defeat you!”

The evil organization MU wants to rewrite the world! Filling their ranks with revived brainwashed villains of Kamen Rider’s past, their army grows each time they force Professor Crystal Peppler to perform this task. Subvertong their goals, Professor Peppler has revived the weakest looking Kaijin he could think of, Brain, the Roidmude! But secretly, he knows one thing, how much Brain despises people like those in MU. Those his master Heart would hate most. Mirroring the rebirth of Takeshi Hongo as the first Kamen Rider, Brain the Roidmude must become Brain the Kamen Rider!

It’s been a wild ride for the characters of Kamen Rider Drive eh? Nearly 5 years after the end of the series and one of it’s villains has been redeemed as his own hero in a 2 part mini series, and even gotten to make a cameo in the Zi-O film Over Quartzer! Even more surprising, Kamen Rider Brain has gotten the S.H. Figuarts treatment! A luxurious repaint & remold of the Drive Type Speed mold, Brain manages to elevate the mold to a new level. Draped in new techy detailing and capes to boot, Brain comes armed with a weapon borrowed from Kamen Rider Ghost, the Brain Eyeglass Blade!

You can check out our full 80 image gallery & review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Brain in the thread linked below.

We’ll be back next time to count the medals 1 2 & 3, anything goes, it’s coming up Shinkocchou Seihou OOO!

Officially announced by the Tsuburaya Ultraman Global Portal on twitter, we now have a face to go with the name, Ultraman Z! Along with the reveal of Ultraman Z’s (pronounced as Zett) design we also have a synopsis of his story, and you could probably guess it with that name, he’s a disciple of Ultraman Zero!

The newest Ultra Hero is Ultraman Zett, the disciple of Ultraman Zero, who is now celebrating his tenth anniversary! An admirer of Zero, Zett worked hard to become a member of the “Inter Galactic Defense Force.” With a passion inherited from his teacher Zero, Zett is an Ultraman who always looks forward and forges ahead.

In this series, our protagonist who transforms into Ultraman Zett is Haruki Natsukawa (played by Kohshu Hirano), a member of the anti-monster robot force “STORAGE”. The twenty-fourth* Ultraman TV series Ultraman Z features a story in which Zett and Haruki will grow together. Please look forward to this latest series!

Tsuburaya has even more information on the Ultraman Z series including a break down of the cast, head over to their official site, and get ready for the next generation hero to make his debut! The new series debuted June 20th, 2020!

“I could use a warm up actually.”

The Evol Driver. The weapon which the alien menace Evolt used to destroy Mars. A scheme that has taken over 20 years to repair and retrieve it, has finally paid off. Shedding the skin of his Blood Stalk persona, the Pandora Box is within Kamen Rider Evol’s grasp! But can the heroes of Earth and the Rider System outlast that which they were created from? Can the Kamen Riders defeat this eternal evil? Or will they only serve to make him stronger

Kamen Rider Evol is an absolutely delicious release. I was in love with this suit design when it debuted in show, and I adore it in figure form. Evol’s standard Phase 1 Cobra Form is by far the most stylish but it’s certainly tough to beat the other two forms as well. Forgoing much in the way of standard accessories other than hands, Evol instead includes all the extra parts needed to recreate his Phase 2 & Phase 3 forms, Dragon & Rabbit! A genius way to release all 3 forms at once, Tamashii Nations have outdone themselves with this delightfully wonderful villain.

We’ve attached a massive 90+ images to this post for your viewing pleasure. You can check all of them out as well as the extensive review for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Evol in the thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be be taken to the complete thread. We’ll be back soon with a gallery from Kamen Rider Drive!

“I, am number one.”

In a surprise reveal/confirmation, Tamashii Nations has just announced the release of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Metal Build! This villainous rider of the Kamen Rider Grease V-Cinema may appear to be a mere reuse of the Build Hazard Form release, but to sweeten the deal Tamashii has *loaded* Metal Build with extra accessories.

Not just alternate hands like Build Hazard included, but also the Kaizoku & Ressha Bottles and Lock & Dragon bottles, as well as heads to match them AND the signature weapons for each form! The Beat Crosser & Pirate Hashyar! The best part about these alternate bottles heads and weapons, is that they can accessorize your original Build Hazard Form!

The entire set will be available as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in August 2020 for 7150 yen!

“Let’s get this party started!”

In the near future of 2025, Emperor Grumm and his Troobian Empire seek to destroy the fragile peace between alien and human kind on Earth. Having lost one team of Power Rangers already, the defense of Earth falls to the SPD B-Squad! Compiled of 3 new recruits and 2 kids off the street, the odds are stacked against them. But under the leadership of the reluctant Jack Landors, Earth may just stand a chance!

The SPD Red Ranger is our inaugural gallery from Power Rangers Lightning Collection Wave 4. A recently released wave both at retail and online, it’s off to a strong start with Jack here. While this base mold here is something we’ve seen a number of times with some parts differentiation, it’s undeniable how stylish the SPD/Dekaranger suit design is and just well it translates to figure form. Equipped with twin combining SPD Blasters, blaster effect a Delta Morpher, two more hands, and a Jack Landors unmasked head, this figure will fit right into to any ranger/sentai collection as the best of both worlds.

You can check out our full 70+ image gallery and read our full review of the SPD Red Ranger after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a brand new Kamen Rider Build gallery, of Kamen Rider Evol!

“Who are you?”
“You don’t know me? I’m Psycho Red!”

Faster, smarter, stronger, evil. The Psycho Rangers were the greatest weapons in Astronema’s arsenal that the Power Rangers ever faced. Gone but not forgotten, Trakeena has resurrected these maniacal monsters intent on destroying her own team of pesky Power Rangers. Leo Corbett and the rest of the Lost Galaxy Rangers have never faced a threat like this before. But with the help of another team of Power Rangers, 10 become 1, united to stop the forces of evil!

This two-pack represents one of my favorite team-ups in franchise history, To the 10th Power. Leo, the Lost Galaxy Red Ranger is the second hero hailing from that series after Magna Defender. While Psycho Red revisits the wonderful Psycho Ranger mold we first experienced with his brother Psycho Blue. Thematically, I adore this pack. Psycho Red is a clear winner based on my experience with Blue and armed with the Psycho Sword he’s more than a match for Lost Galaxy Red, who not only has two versions of the Quasar Saber and a flaming effect to accent it, but also an unmasked Leo Corbett head! I’m a little late to review this set, but it’s been a very pleasing experience. Bring on more Lost Galaxy & In Space please Hasbro!
