“Cast Off.”

It’s been a while since we’ve taken a look at any older releases, but with Shinkocchou Seihou in full swing for Kamen Rider Kabuto, we thought it was time for a return. The next pair of releases due out in that line are the Hopper Bros, but perhaps it’s only a matter of time before the entire original line is redone in this premium style? In anticipation of that we’re going to knock out 3 classic releases today with this special triple gallery from Kabuto’s theatrical film God Speed Love. Today we look at the 3 riders of a future that never came to pass with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Riders Hercus, Ketaros, & Caucasus!

Hercus, Ketaros, & Caucasus are all in fact re[aints & remolds to varying degrees of the original Kamen Rider Kabuto mold. Long before Seihou ever made it obsolete, that mold got a lot of mileage. And these 3 movie exclusive riders may just be the best use of it. While each is undoubtedly pretty close to Kabuto’s standard design, they each offer a unique take on the beetle theme with suit colors we didn’t really see in the series proper. The real question though is, with the chance of Seihou’s to replace these in the next couple years, are they worth your time and money? Let’s find out!

We’ve put together a full 80 images of this trio of riders in our gallery & review thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see them all. We’ll be back soon with a brand new gallery from Kamen Rider Drive!

Kamen Rider Drive is certainly no stranger to the S.H. Figuarts toyline. Surprising once again, yet another new possible release could continue it’s unprecedented streak. Recently Kamen Rider Dark Drive was confirmed for release, so it’s only fitting that now we have our first look at the other rider exclusive to the Surprise Future movie.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Special was a no brainer to see after Dark Drive. Given how a majority of the parts are identical between the two it’s no surprise that this figure could see release soon. Kamen Rider Drive continues to outdo itself with repaints and remolds after all. While we don’t have any proper releases details for the figure yet, it’s inclusion at the Akiba Showroom would suggest that they are just around the corner. We’ll update you as more details become available.

It’s that time again for the annual Super Hero Time double feature movies, Toei’s just launched the official website for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and Kyuranger’s said movie and with that, we have our first teaser announcing the project.

Currently, no word was given on the story as of yet though thanks to the crew over at http://tokusatsunetwork.com[/url] we do have the tag lines given for both movies: “All stars, shine bright in the galaxy” for Kyuranger and “The Great doctors battle, tops to extreme” For Ex-Aid respectively.

The movies are due out for release August 5 in Japanese theaters. Stay tuned and we’ll bring more up to date info as it’s made available.

A pair of new Tamashi Web Exclusive releases have just gone live on the Tamashii Web Shop!

From Kamen Rider Drive we have S.I.C. Heart Roidmude. A companion piece tot he recently released S.I.C. Drive and the upcoming Mashin Chaser. This version of Heart is more directly inspired by Takayuki Takeya’s original design for the character, as  indicated by the heart ventrical wings on his back. Heart will be released in October as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 8856 yen.

Next up is an odd one. The S.H. Figuarts Helldiver is a companion piece for Kamen Rider ZX. A figuart released way back in 2013, numerous ZX’s had serious QC issues, not limited to but including poor paint applications, loose part fits, etc. It’s surprising to see his bike released nearly 4 years later, and unlike other recent Showa releases, there is currently no two-pack with a slightly altered ZX offered. For now, the Helldiver will also be released in October, for 5400 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive.

Get with your preferred middleman or service to secure orders for these releases soon!

“Tune Rhino. Super Break Up!”

Kamen Rider Drive has been enjoying quite the second life in the form of various movie appearances & special V-Cinema releases. And luckily so have his allies. Chase had his own in the form of the Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser film. This direct to video film also featured a brand new form for Chaser, an upgrade of his Roidmude reaper form, which we’re focusing on for today’s gallery. S.H. Figuarts Super Mashin Chaser!

Super Mashin Chaser is actually the 3rd outing so far of the Chaser mold. Following up from Mashin Chaser & Super Dead Heat Drive. But that hasn’t diminished how impressive it is each time eather. This mold still rocks some gorgeous asymmetry, only this time in impressive gold! There’s not much new to say about how the figure is designed, but it does have a striking color scheme. And while it’s lite on accessories outside the new Break Gunner Super Viral Core Loaded Version, it’s still compatible with the previously released Tune/Busou Chaser accessory set! So there’s plenty of play value in this gorgeous figure.

We’ve assembled a full 80 images of this figure for your viewing pleasure. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to see the full gallery & review. We’ll see you soon with a couple of new throwback galleries from Kamen Rider’s W & Kabuto!

A plethora of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid S.H.Figuarts releases have been teased earlier tonight, with photos taken of their Tamashii Nations display. Kicking us off with two characters that have been long awaited by most fans of the show: we finally have a glimpse of S.H.Fiugarts Genm Zombie Gamer and S.H.Figuarts Laser Lv.5!

In addition to those, we also have photos of Ex-Aid Double Action Gamer Level XX though don’t get excited just quite yet: it is still unclear whether or not Bandai will actually release any of these Figuarts or if they’ll just be display only. Though stay tuned, and we’ll bring more up to date info as it’s made avalaible.

“Nice Drive!”

We’re back in the exciting world of Kamen Rider Drive with a brand new gallery of the series first foray into the S.I.C. toyline!

S.I.C. Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed is the shows first entry in this line, soon to be followed by Mashin Chaser and the recently confirmed Heart Roidmude. While I don’t typically pick up S.I.C.’s I could not resist seeing Takeyuki Takeya’s take on this Rider. After all, the famed designer created all of the Roidmudes that Drive and his allies faced in the series. This monstrous rendition of Drive is an impressive piece of design from this prolific creator. And as with most S.I.C.’s it’s positively loaded down with accessories! Such as the Handle Sword, Door Gun, The Max Flare Tire, and plenty of Shift Cars. This is a really all inclusive release that sets the bar pretty high for where this line goes from here.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view over 70 images of S.I.C. Kamen Rider Drive after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

With the up coming release of the  Complete Selection Modification New Den-O Belt, and this year being Kamen Rider Den-O’s 10th anniversary it was only a matter of time before Bandai announced the Complete Selection Modification Den-O Belt and K-Taros Phone.

At the moment, there’s little info to go on with this product so we don’t know if this will be an individual release or come packaged together in a set, nor do we know if this will be just a reissue of the previous Complete Selection Den-O Belt that came out prior or something new entirely. Though stay tuned, more info in this piece will be announced on 5/23.
