Joining the popular range of Super Imaginative Chogokin Kamen Rider OOO figures is the series’ secondary Rider, Kamen Rider Birth! A Tamashii Web exclusive, SIC Kamen Rider Birth comes packaged with a selection of alternate hands, an alternate head and CLAWs components (Breast Cannon, Drill Arm, Shovel Arm and Caterpillar Legs). These can both separate into their own individual parts and form the CLAWs unit when combined with the forthcoming Cutter Wing and Crane Arm pieces.

Also included among the images is a tease of a forthcoming Kamen Rider Birth Prototype repaint of the figure!

Ready to add SIC Birth to your collection? He can be yours this September for the price of 8640 yen.

Straight of the back of his magazine reveal late last week, the Bandai Tamashii Web Shop has opened preordered for S.H. Figuarts Heart from Kamen Rider Drive! As probably expected this Roidmude leader is rather minimal on the accessories, with only three pairs of alternate hands listed.

Heart is a web exclusive due for release this August, priced 5940 yen.

After recently being teased in a Bandai Tamashii Nations blog entry, full release details for the S.H. Figuarts Hakaider Squad have been revealed! Made up of Red Hakaider, Blue Hakaider and Silver Hakaider, these three act as Gill Hakaider’s henchmen in the opening section of Kikaider 01.

As many expected the figures will be coming as part of a 3-pack, however the set will also be a ToeiHero.net exclusive. Each figure will come with their own unique weapon, along with presumably an array of additional hands.

Costing a total of 16,200 yen, preorders will be open until the 30th April with the set shipping out to collectors in September.

Joining the S.H. Figuarts Trychaser 2000 in as a mass release item in July will be the much anticipated Ultraman figure from the currently ongoing manga sequel to the original 1966 series. This figure is a particularly special release as it is a collaboration between both the Ultra-Act and S.H. Figuarts lines.

Price details and accessories are yet to be confirmed, so stay tuned to Tokunation.com over the coming week for more information!

Bandai Tamashii Nations have just announced a selection of their mass release items for July 2015, and among them is another motorcycle for collectors to add to their Kamen Rider collection! This month it’s the turn of the Trychaser 2000 – the first bike of Kamen Rider Kuuga. Perfect to go alongside the original S.H. Figuarts release or the forthcoming Shinkocchou Seikou renewal.

Price details are yet to be confirmed, so stay tuned to Tokunation.com over the coming week for more information!

As collectors begin to receive the newly released Complete Selection Modification Kamen Rider Decade Decadriver, Bandai have also teased the next release in this line of more highly-detailed belt reissues. Included in the instruction sheet’s plastic wallet is a blue card featuring the emblem of Decade’s secondary Rider Kamen Rider Diend, along with the words “coming soon”.

While a Complete Selection Modification Diend Driver will undoubtedly feature more detailed paint applications than its mass release toy counterpart, whether it will feature a proper card scanner (something the original sorely lacked) is yet to be known. We’ll bring you more news on this item as it’s released in the future!

Following the pre-empting of episode 46 of Ressha Sentai ToQger in order to cover the tragic news that occurred last weekend, TV-Asahi’s schedule for Super Sentai has now been pushed back a week. With ToQ #46 airing this weekend (8/22) and the finale episode coming the following week (15/22), this means the originally proposed Shuriken Sentai Ninninger debut has been pushed back to the 22nd February.

While we kindly ask Tokunation.com members to be mindful of the events that led to this delay, we hope you’ll all be joining us on the 22nd for the debut of this brand new Super Sentai series.

Tsubaraya‘s Denkou Choujin Gridman (which was adapted into Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad in the West) is set to return in the form of a one-off anime short, as part of Japan Animator Expo – a project of weekly anime shorts spearheaded by Hideaki Anno’s Studio Khara and media company Dwango.

The short, entitled “Denkou Choujin Gridman: Boys invent Great Hero” was animated by popular studio Trigger (most notable for the recent Kill la Kill) and directed by Akira Amemiya – director of Trigger’s Inferno Cop and forthcoming Ninja Slayer series.

The project will see a total of 30 planned shorts air weekly, ranging from anime shorts to promotional and music videos. While these will be streamed for free via Niconico, there are currently no plans for any of them to receive a commercial release.

Niconico have already released a 13 second teaser of the short, however it doesn’t give away anything other than the title. Are you excited for the return of Gridman? Sound off after the jump!

Bandai Tamashii Nations have recently updated the special Kamen Rider Drive page of their website with official images of two forthcoming releases S.H. Figuarts – the mysterious Roidmude shinigami Mashin Chaser and his motorcycle, the Ride Chaser!

Both are set to be mass releases in May 2015, each with a price tag of 4860 yen. Additionally it looks like Mashin Chaser will come with the Midnight Shadow tire (and accompanying effect part) as a preorder bonus, much like Max Flare is to be bundled with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive.

Will you be picking up either of these great looking releases? Check out the full array of images and let us know your thoughts after the jump!
