Teased a mere 2 days ago by Tamashii Nations, we have our very first true prototype image of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed!

Kamen Rider Drive appears to have some excellent sculpted details and a good range of motion we’ve come to expect from most figuarts. Of course there’s no confirmation on if the Tire Koukan gimmick will be replicated in some fashion for the Drive SHF line. But we;ll find our more about this figure as information becomes available. In any case S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed and many other recent reveals will all be on display at Tamashii Nations 2014 at the end of this month!

Long speculated by fans and finally confirmed, the next premium Shinkocchou Seihou style S.H. Figuarts release is a Kamen Rider Kuuga Renewal! Demanded by fans for a very long time Bandai is finally taking a second crack at Kamen Rider Kuuga.

With the original being one of the earliest S.H. Figuarts it really shows it’s age. While we’ve yet to confirm solid details on the accessories included, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Renewal will be released in April 2015 for 5400 yen. A rather steep price tag that’s in line with the two previous premium style releases Kabuto Renewal & Hibiki. Expect to see more images of this exciting new figure at the upcoming Tamashii Nations 2014 at the end of October!

This is certainly a quick turn around! Despite the series itself only being in it’s 3rd week, it looks like S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed is on the horizon!

Teased by the official Tamashii Features twitter account is our very first look at Drive. You may recall that last year Kamen Rider Gaim premiered on October 6th and just 2 weeks later the first gray prototype of S.H. Figuarts Gaim was revealed prior to Tamashii Nations. Kamen Rider Drive premiered October 5th and has had what appears to be a fully colored prototype revealed on October 19th in anticipation of the same event.

Tamashii Nations 2014 will being on October 31st so we can expect more in depth looks at this brand new figure then!

Our coverage from NYCC 2014 isn’t over yet! Our very own Sentai Tamashii spoke with Bandai of America to ask some questions and we got some answers! So let’s not beat around the bush – here they are! Please note that these are not exact quotes, these are paraphrased.

TokuNation: When can we expect to see the first retail release of Power Rangers Dino Charge? The previous two series (Megaforce and Super Megaforce released at Toys’R’Us right after Thanksgiving).
Bandai: First approximate release is going to be around December at Toys’R’Us much like Megaforce and Super Megaforce before it.

TokuNation: When can we expect to see the release of the Legacy Mighty Morphin Movie 5″ Figures?
Bandai: The latter half of 2015.

TokuNation: With Kyoryuger there were some gender swaps throughout the series. Can we expect to see those in the 5″ line for Dino Charge?
Bandai: We cannot disclose the gender of any of the unseen Dino Charge Power Rangers but every Ranger on the show will have a figure released.

TokuNation: What about villains? Can we expect more toys of villains?
Bandai: Yes. There will be more villains released per feedback.

TokuNation: Can we expect to see more homages to previous Power Rangers through the Dino Charge toy line, whether it be in 5″ form or Armored Might?
Bandai: All homages will be specifically through fan support.

TokuNation: There’s a lot of Megazords in Kyoryuger (5 including Topaspino). Will we see them all in the Dino Charge toy line?
Bandai: We don’t want to step on Saban Brands toes by saying anything at this moment. Wait for Saban Brands to answer that question.

TokuNation: When can we expect an announcement on the teased Ranger Keys for the fall?
Bandai: Due to partnerships we cannot disclose any of that at this time.

TokuNation: What is the name of the Dino Charge morpher? And does the mouth open?
Bandai: It is officially called the Deluxe Dino Charge Morpher. The mouth does open and has one battery port inside.

Special thanks to Greg from Bandai of America for taking the time to answer our questions!

Titanium Power!
Jungle beast, spirit unleashed!

TokuNation is back with another in our series of Titanium Powered galleries. But this time there’s a dose of something extra! With today’s gallery we take a look at the recently released Power Morphicon 2014 Exclusive Ranger Key Set! This set includes two of the most hotly demanded characters from Bandai’s Morphin’ Madness competition and in fact, these two went head to head in the final round. It’s Lightspeed Rescue’s Titanium Ranger & Jungle Fury’s Wolf Ranger!

 

This pair of keys was made to coincide with the Power Rangers Super Megaforce toyline and are entirely functional with the Legendary Morpher. When either key is used with the morpher the “Power Morphicon!” phrase is uttered and this special set is the only way to get either of these rangers in key form here in the US. Wolf Ranger, or rather his original counterpart Geki Violet, was released in the Gokaiger toyline some years back but the PMC exclusive is the only way to own an american version of the  key. Titanium Ranger however is a 100% original creation of the Power Rangers franchise! With no sentai counterpart he has never had a Ranger Key produced of him. So that makes this release truly special!

Check out a full 40 image gallery of this set after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post! Special thanks to site owner and admin Kickback for being awesome enough to pick this set up for me at PMC.
