It looks like at least one of this years movie exclusive Rider suits is about to get the figure treatment! Just revealed, with official images in tow thanks to the Premium Bandai website, is S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Super Dead Heat!

Super Deat Heat is Shinosuke’s temporary power up exclusive to the Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future movie. A Frankenstein of sorts this form is accessed with a Mach Driver, while using the Tridoron Key, & produces a red Mashin Chaser body with a Drive Type Speed head that features additional asymmetrical detailing. A gorgeous figure for sure it appears to be lacking somewhat in the accessories. The order page currently only lists 3 sets of hands for each arm.

S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Super Dead Heat will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 5940 yen in March!

It’s time for TokuNation to take a trip back to the 90’s again for this one. We’re revisiting the world of the Kamen Rider 20th Anniversary project Kamen Rider ZO with a new figure gallery! Today’s subject is a companion piece to our ZO gallery from January, the Neo Organism given physical form, S.H. Figuarts Doras!

Doras is cyborg like creature created by the Neo Organism in the film to hunt for the son of it’s creator. Of course like an respectable villain, along the way Doras gets entangled with Kamen Rider ZO. Doras the toy is one of the more magnificent Figuarts on the market. In much the same way we heaped praise on the sculpt of Kamen Rider Shin, Doras is a marvel of detailing and sculpt. An absolutely glorious figure to look at, S.H. Figuarts Doras captures the pure evil of his namesake and reminds us of a time when villain designs weren’t just good, they were amazing. Whether you remember the character fondly from the Kamen Rider ZO film or his later appearance in Decade/W Movie Wars 2010 this figure will not disappoint you.

A selection of images are attached to this post but the full gallery containing over 50 images can be found by clicking “discuss on the TokuNation forums at the bottom of this post. S.H. Figuarts Doras is an incredible companion piece to Kamen Rider ZO and for now at least they look like the only 2 figures we’ll be getting from that film. But you can be certain that when or if more figuarts from ZO are produced, we’ll cover them!

This is definitely an interesting one. While TokuNation can’t always cover the numerous Local Heroes (gotchi heroes) of Japan, we do on occasion try to bring you as much information on the larger projects as possible. Well this is quite possibly the largest Local Hero project since the ambitious Fire Leon franchise! Announced today is the Nihon Local Hero Daikessen film (Japan Local Hero Great Battle) which was recently crowdfunded into production!

Unlike the annual Super Hero Taisen films produced by Toei, this film seeks to be unify the various Local Heroes of Japan with a theme of friendship. Admittedly there are so many local Japanse heroes I doubt we’d be able to run down the whole list of those appearing in the movie, but it looks like many major and popular regional favorites such as the cast of Yatsurugi, Ibaraiga, Cosmo Flasher, & MANY more will appear!

Nihon Local Hero Daikessen is set for release on November 14th!

In just 1 week this years pairing of summer films, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger The Movie: The Dinosaur Lord’s Splendid Ninja Scroll & Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future, will be released in Japanese theaters. As such the related toys for each film are set to be released soon, and new official images have given us the best look yet at them.

For Ninninger we have DX Otomonin EX Dinomaru. This remold of Paonmaru is of course the movie exclusive mecha for this year in the same vein as Safari Ga Oh, Tobaspino, FS0O Frog, and a host of other toys. This figure will be released on August 8th to coincide with the film and retails for 4104 yen.

For Kamen Rider Drive we have a bit of a surprise! Not only will this years movie henshin device set include those used by Drive in the film, the DX Shift Next/Special Car & Tridoron Key, but a third item is also in the mix. And it’s the DX Newton Eyecon from Kamen Rider Ghost! This set will be released a bit later this month, August 29th, for 2160  yen.

Surfin’ Washoi!

We’re back with  another review of a recent addition to Shuriken Sentai Ninninger’s bizarre toyline! This time we’re taking a look at the ally of the seas, DX Otomonin Surfermaru!

DX Surfermaru is the last of the regular “upgrade” Otomonin aside from the Movie exclusive Dinomaru & the massive new mecha Lion Ha Oh. And while each toy in this line has been unique in it’s own right, Surfermaru is kind of bizarre. A robot that can ride a wheeled surf board or transform into a submarine form with a shark like face. It’s interesting to say the least. Possible combinations to be made with this toy are Shurikenjin Surfer & Bison King Surfer. It should also be noted that so far, Surfermaru is the only extra otomonin documented to have intentional functionality with Bison King.

We’ve got 60 images of DX Surfermaru in the full gallery (with review) which can be viewed by clicking the link at the bottom of this article. Next time for Ninninger we take a look at DX Lion Ha Oh!

In addition the Kamen Rider Ghost & Kamen Rider Drive August magazine scans that have popped up, we have a round of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger images as well! The following images reveal a few new details for the upcoming August airing episodes of the series.

First off we see the introduction of 3 brand new Great Yokai, but these aren’t the typical enemies of the Ninningers. These are the Great Western Yokai! Summoned by Ariake No Kata these three hail from America & Europe. Each of them is themed after a classic monster and are named in that fashion; Werewolf, Dracula, & Franken. Werewolf seems to be the final piece of the puzzle as to what happened to Starninger’s family.

And on the topic of Kinji it appears that another user of the Chouzetsu Changer has proven himself. In the comings months we’ll be treated to Chouzetsu Starninger! Details of Kinji’s new transformation have yet to be revealed but we’ll keep you up to date as we find out more about these upcoming episodes!

And the hits keep on coming! Following up from Kamen Rider Ghost scans from Figure Oh, we have a selection of new Kamen Rider Drive images from August airing episodes! Not only do we see the upcoming Ultimate Evolution of Medic, but also 2 brand new riders!

First up is the new Kamen Rider Gold Drive! As indicated by the scans this rider is actually the consciousness of Banno Tenjuro, the creator of the Roidmudes, given physical form with a spare Drive Driver. The gold coloring of this form would seem to indicate it’s related to the Ultimate Evolution of the Roidmudes, perhaps the 4th of the promised number?

The 2nd new rider revealed today is a Mass Production version of Kamen Rider Mach! In an effort to conitnue the fight against the Roidmudes, the Metro PD has mass produced Mach HonOh Drivers and armor. Rather than a Shift Bike or Car though, this new MP Mach Driver uses a generic version of the Tridoron Key to initiate the transformation!

That’s quite a few curve balls for Drive to be throwing us this late in the game, how it all ends is anyone’s guess from here!

under Kamen Rider

Today  brings yet another early look at the upcoming 17th heisei kamen rider, Kamen Rider Ghost! 

– First up we have a brand new image giving us our first full bodied look at Ghost in 3 of his forms; Musashi Soul, Edison Soul, & Ore Soul.

– Next we have our first look at the various new weapons created from the combination of Ghost’s Ghost Gadgets with his Gangan Saber! Follow this link to see our breakdown of how those combinations work for each of Ghost’s Souls.

– Lastly we have our first clear look at how this years gimmick action figure line, Ghost Change, will work! In a similar fashion to the old COR line from Kabuto or the AC line from Gaim, the Soul “jackets” are accessories that snap on over the basic rider bodies. The jacket has a rotating face plat that when not connected to a rider gives the effect of a ghostly aura where the face should be. It would also apepar that the “sleeves” are jointed somewhat so as not to hinder the figures articulation. We know based on the Ghost Series release information that Ghost & Specter bodies will only be included with GC01 & GC03.

We’ll continue tot keep you up to date with all the Kamen Rider Ghost news we can as it becomes available!

The long wait is over! With SDCC News and updates out of the way it’s time for TokuNation to return to it’s regularly scheduled programming of new toy galleries! First up on the chopping block our long overdue look at the villain of the classic tokusatsu series Kikaider 01. The evil mastermind behind SHADOW, it’s S.H. Figuarts Gill Hakaider! Gill Hakaider is of course the second character to bear the Hakaider name. A new version of the cyborg created using the evil Professor Gill’s own brain, this creature would be the arch nemesis of Kikaider’s older brother Kikaider 01!

In figure form Gill Hakaider is very similar to the previously released Hakaider with a few key differences. Primarily newly painted face details as well as the Hakaider emblem emblazoned on his chest. Though the biggest differences would the inclusion of Gill’s mechanical mind controlling flute staff as well as his cape! Though the cape is more generally associated with his anime counterpart, it’s an incredibly cool bonus to get here.

While we’ve attached a selection of images to this post, check out over 50 images of S.H. Figuarts Gill Hakaider included several with his namesake Hakaider as well as the Kikaider brothers after the jump. We’ll revisit the Kikaider world again in the coming months with a gallery of Kikaider 01’s Double Machine!
