As if the announcement of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kiva wasn’t enough to get you excited, Bandai had one more surprise in store as well! We knew of this item being displayed at the Tamashii Nations 2018 event, but weren’t able to see it because of the annual photo ban on certain items. Now, via SHFindo, we have our very first look at the S.H. Figuarts Machine Kivaa & Parts Set!

Kivaa is of course Kivaa’s stylish personal Rider Machine, and hot on the heels of Kiva’s own announcement, this is pretty exciting. Better still, it looks as though Bandai will be including the iconic Bloody Rose violin as well as the chair/throne Kiva is commonly seen seated in during the OP and in promotional material. While there are no confirmed release details for this set as of yet, one has to assume Bandai would be working on it with the Kiva hype at an all time high.

“Best Match!”

Tamashii Nations day 2 has gotten off to a pretty wild start for Kamen Rider Build fans! A number of new reveals that were under photo bans have finally been revealed:

S.H. Figuarts:
Kamen Rider Evol Cobra Form
The Hokuto Three Crows (Aoba, Kiba, Akiba)
Kamen Rider Grease (With Crows Dog Tags)
Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Rabbit Form
Kamen Rider Build Tank/Tank Form
Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Dragon Form

Rabbit/Dragon, the final form debuting in the final episode of the series, has yet to be seen in a properly clear photo, as it’s still under the photo ban. The Hokuto Three are listed as S.H. Figuarts on their placard, however they do appear to be non-articulated Figuarts Zero’s based on the prototypes shown. They’re definitely quite an interesting release if they make it out to retail eventually.  As is we have no confirmed release info for any of these figures.

As more information and images become available we’ll be sure to update you in the ongoing Tamashii Nations 2018 discussion thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” below to catch up on the discussion. Images for this story come from AmiamiNews, and Tokullector.

Tamashii Nations 2018 is currently happening from today until October 28th. As always this event brings us a smattering of new reveals, many which may or may not ever see the light of day again afterwards.

As Always though, we’ve compiled a last of everything new that’s currently on display from Bandai & Tamashii Nations

Tamashii Nations 2018 is just around the corner, and thanks to the official @t_features twitter we have confirmation of the two tokusatsu exclusives for the show.

First up is a repaint of the well received Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider 1 S.H. Figuart in Sakurajima colors. Since Tamashii seems to be working backwards from the “Shin Rider 1” design, how long until we get Hongo in his original colors? Rider 1 will retail for 6480 yen.

“Oh no!” The Black Hazard arrives continuing the pattern of black repaint event exclusives with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Tank Hazard Form! With Hazard confirmed at last, could we see Rabbit/Rabbit or Tank/Tank as well as Genius on the horizon? Here’s hoping. Hazard Form will retail for 6480 yen as well.

Both exclusives will be available at Tamashii Nations 2018, October 26th-28th.

As Tamashii Comic-Con continues there have been a huge number of reveals and display prototypes on shown for various western properties like Marvel, Star Wars, & DC. If you’d like to check out all of these, we highly suggest you head over to our sister site, Toyark.com to see their reporting. For us though, the con has provided more display prototypes from Pacific Rim Uprising!

For starters we have Robot Spirits Gispy Avenger Tokyo Final Battle Version! This remold/repaint of the original Avenger release features the left arm Plasma Caster, and rocket booster used  for the decisive battle near and above Mount Fuji. It also appears to include the Plasma Chainsaws taken from Obsidian Fury for the same battle. Second, we have our first look at the Robot Spirits Drone Jaegers. These are their pre-Kaiju Hybrid forms which are actually only seen quite briefly in the film.

For now we don’t have any release information for this pair of figures, but we’ll be sure to update you when and if it does. Images come courtesy of Figsoku.

under Conventions, Other Conventions, Power Rangers

Boom! Studios has just revealed a brand new Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers #25 Variant that will be available exclusively at Denver Comic-Con!

This exclusive variant cover features Lord Drakkon in his Evolution 1 form. A new form he achieved after having obtained a Samuraizer, and having absorbed the energy of the Power Rangers Samurai within. As Lord Drakkon continues to grow in power and absorb more pieces of the Morphin’ Grid, could we see his further evolution’s on future variant covers? We certainly hope so!

Denver Comic-Con will be held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, June 15th-17th. This exclusive MMPR #25 variant will be available there, at the Boom! Studios booth.

under Conventions, Other Conventions, Power Rangers, Toy Fair

We’ve only just begun reporting our findings from London Toy Fair 2018, but unfortunately the entire Bandai Power Rangers display is currently under a photo ban. Which is pretty typical for these events and held true at last year’s London Toy Fair as well. However, someone at the show was apparently daring enough to snap at least one picture., and this is kind of  a big one. Now we have our very first look at the Power Rangers Legacy 6.5″ Red & Blue Psycho Rangers!

TokuNation user thedangerranger was kind enough to share this image on our forums. From what we can gather, these figures are not in a prominent area of the Bandai UK display space. Given that they aren’t even standing up properly, it’s even possible they may have been totally overlooked. From what we can see though the sculpt looks on point for both and each appears to include their appropriate weapon as well, Red’s Psycho Sword & Blue’s Psycho Axe. When and if a better look at these figure from the event becomes available we hope to be able to share it with you!

Just when you thought we were done, the hits from Tamashii Nations 2017 just keep on coming. As you might recall, Bandai was teasing a big announcement for Kamen Rider Black RX and Den-O at the event, we’ve already gotten our Den-O announcement in the form of that new action figure revealed a day ago, and now it’s Kamen Rider Black RX’s turn!

Many have speculated the release of an S.H.Figuarts Kotoaro Minami, or a Complete Selection announcement. And while it might not be the former, what we do have is Tamashii Lab’s replica of Kamen Rider Black RX’s signature weapon: The Revolcane on display.

In addition to that, we have our first look at prototype S.I.C Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha, along with a plethora of new S.H.Figuarts Kaiju from the Ultraman series.

Tamashii Nations continues to be an ongoing event which just opened to the public. There’s still lots more news from this event to come, so be sure to check back with us for more updates.

The last big reveal of the day comes from the beloved Kamen Rider Ex-Aid series. Shown off on display is none other than the final boss himself – Kamen Rider Cronus! Displayed with a Gamer Driver (aka Gamer Driver version), Kamen Rider Cronus looks absolutely glorious.

Rumor from @_Erasu on Twitter, from a trusted source, is that the Kamen Rider Cronus will come with both the Gamer Driver and Bugster-type versions of belts. Stay tuned for more information and, hopefully, better pictures! Picture courtesy of @YongouOYander on Twitter.’

UPDATE! New image with Bugster belt courtesy @EDxie3 on Twitter.

Fans of Kamen Rider Hibiki rejoice – we have our first look at Kamen Rider Ibuki and Kamen Rider Zanki in their glorious Shinkocchou Seihou splendor! Having never been released as S.H. Figuarts in the past, these two characters would be a great addition to any Kamen Rider S.H. Figuarts collector, as well as any fan of the series Kamen Rider Hibiki.
