The time is almost upon us for another year at the Tamashii Nations event! Running from October 28th-30th this year, Tamashii Nations is often where we get our first looks at brand new reveals & upcoming releases (as well as many figures that are never seen again.)

This year as always, Bandai is offering several at show exclusives. You may recall last years’ Proto-Drive, or the previous years’ Baron Lemon Energy Arms. Well this year sees the first premium Shinkocchou Seihou exclusive for the show with S.H. Figuarts Dark Kabuto!

Dark Kabuto will exclusively be available at the event on October 28th while supplies last and retails for 5500 yen. As always you can expect a “lottery” release of this figure through the Tamashii Web Shop early next year as well. But keep an eye out for this soon to be in demand exclusive.

Long hoped for by collectors it seems we may be one step closer to finally having S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider J! J, is currently on display at Chara Expo 2016 in Singapore. An unexpected reveal for sure, we currently don’t have estimates on release date or pricing for J. For all we know he could disappear in to the vault of unreleased prototypes, but let’s hope not.

You may recall Kamen Rider J as the last of the trilogy of 90’s rider movies including Shin & ZO. Created after the official Showa period ended these three riders are still classified with their earlier predecessors rather than the Heisei segment of the franchise. If J is indeed released then that means the Showa era of Kamen Rider will officially be complete in figure form. All 15 main Showa riders will at least adorn your shelves together.

So what do you think about this reveal? Will it finally fill that longstanding hole in your collection? And as is often the question, where is Kiva, the long missing Heisei Rider? Sound off in the comments!

A new pair of items has just gone on display at Tamashii Features 2016! Kind of an odd couple, neither of these figures currently has any confirmed release details at all, but they’re so cool we had to share them.

First up is S.H. Figuarts Takeshi Hongo! Representing actor Hiroshi Fujioka as he appeared in 1971’s original Kamen Rider series, this figure would potentially be the first ever figuart released of a tokusatsu hero in their civilian form. Could this be a new trend further down the line? Next up is a unique possible re-release of an old favorite. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black Luminous Ver. A reuse of the incredibly popular Black Renewal figure but with the added feature of LED compound eyes! A Tamashii “Stage Act Wireless” set is also apparently included with this figure.

Again neither of these reveals are confirmed for release but they were simply too incredible not to share. All image of Hongo & Black come courtesy of Dengeki Hobby Web.

It’s been a long time coming but it looks like Kamen Rider Drives’ final form has finally been teased for release! Shown off previously at Tamashii Nations 2015, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron has just been teased in a series of images with S.H. Figuarts Gold Drive!

Along with this figure a single teaser image for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero Drive is also included. This form debuted in Ghost & Drive Super Movie War Genesis and represents a pre-Type Speed version of Drive.

Neither figure has confirmed release details at this point, but we’re expecting much more information to become available at the Tamashii Features event this weekend, May 21st & 22nd!

Ahead of this months Tamashii Features 2016 Event (May 21st-22nd) the official Tamashii Features twitter account has revealed an official teaser for one of the products on display at the event.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Omega is so far the first figuart to be revealed from the current Kamen Rider Amazons web series. A half red half green teaser image was initially shown for this event last month and many speculated an Alpha & Omega reveal. With half of that pairing officially happening, what do you think our chances of seeing Amazon Alpha at the event are now?

Sound off in the comments below, we’ll keep you up to date as more images and possible release info are made available for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Omega!

Yet another reveal’s come straight out of Winter Wonder Festival with a preview of Real Action Heroes Kamen Rider 1 and the Cyclone motorcycle having been just revealed.

While their currently is no word on when either of these two will be release, Wonder Festival did have something else for us with our first in hand look at RAH Genesis Ghost Ore Damashii being on display with the LEDs in full effect, having been teased sometime ago. Ghost himself is set for release in November 2016 with a price tag of 35,000 yen.
