While based on the iconic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers design, this new release takes a heavily stylized approach to the classic look and adds a number of new details. The DinoZords for this set are fully articulated and transformable. The combination measures 24 centimeters tall (roughly 9.5 inches) and is reinforced with diecast parts.

The resulting fusion of Robos is known as ToraDora OniTaiJin– the most powerful technique in the DonBrothers’ arsenal to date!

For DX Mecha collectors, Don Onitaijin is already released at retail. Don Dragoku’s combo- ToraDora GonJin is scheduled for release in August 2022 at a price of 9680 Yen.

A new round of scans has given us our first proper look at the fourth Kamen Rider of the Reiwa Era– Kamen Rider Geats!

These new scans offer some interesting insights into the upcoming series:

*Geats’ henshin device is known as the Desire Driver. This Driver will have two changeable elements- ID Cores & Raise Buckles.

*The ID Core will be the basic item for any Kamen Rider using the Desire Driver. Using the Geats ID Core transforms the wearer into Kamen Rider Geats Entry Form– which features only the white kitsune mask with a basic black undersuit.

*Adding a Raise Buckle to the Desire Driver unlocks new armored forms. Kamen Rider Geats’ first Raise Buckle is the Magnum Buckle (resembling a revolver) which activates Kamen Rider Geats Magnum Form– adding white armor to his arms & torso. The second confirmed Raise Buckle for Geats is the Boost Buckle (based on a motorcycle handlebar) that triggers Kamen Rider Geats Boost Form– which attaches red armor to the legs. Using both Buckles at once creates Magnum Boost Form– which is the configuration seen in the initial images of Kamen Rider Geats.

While not fully demonstrated in the available scans, the Raise Buckles are not bound to a single side of the Desire Driver and can be swapped- meaning the Magnum Form can become legs while the Boost Form could also be used on the torso.

Lastly, we have some shots of Kamen Rider Geats Magnum Boost Forms’ signature weapon- the Magnum Shooter 40X! This gun has a standard pistol configuration but extends to a rifle mode for long range attacks.

Kamen Rider Geats premieres on September 4 2022!

The official TV-ASAHI page for the next Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Geats has been opened- sharing the full story of this new hero!

Kamen Rider Geats’ true name is Ukiyo Hidetoshi– also known by the nickname Ace. At one point, this man joins a contest known as the DESIRE GRAND PRIX– a contest where players transform into Kamen Riders and battle the dangerous JAMATO creatures. The winner of the Desire Grand Prix gains the right to reshape the world based on what their heart desires.

Each Rider will gain points in the Desire Grand Prix by battling and defeating Jamato. At time of writing, Geats is the only Kamen Rider revealed for the series- but rumors suggest there may be as many as EIGHT Riders participating in the Grand Prix.

The writer for Kamen Rider Geats is Kamen Rider veteran Yuya Takahashi– whose resume includes Kamen Rider Ex-Aid & Kamen Rider Zero-One. Directing the series are more Rider veterans- Shojiro Nakazawa & Teruaki Sugihara. Longtime producer Naomi Takebe returns once again for her first Kamen Rider series in the Reiwa Era.

Kamen Rider Geats begins on September 4 2022!

Earlier today we saw the first official images of the next Kamen Rider– Kamen Rider Geats!

Closer examination of the images gives us a few hints at this upcoming series. The Driver appears to use Gear-like devices, probably this seasons’ collector gimmick.

A promotional flyer for the upcoming Winter 2022 Rider movie (a crossover with Kamen Rider Revice) offers a brief teaser for this new Rider’s story:

“A young man will bet everything on a strange game, changing his boring life for something more exciting.
The game of PROTECTING THE WORLD!
Could he be the last victor?”

This suggests Geats may be in a contest between other Riders in his series.

Kamen Rider Geats will begin airing on September 4 2022! Stay tuned to Tokunation for further details on this new chapter in Kamen Rider history!
