“Cast Off! Change, Wasp!”

After a pair of Shinkocchou Seihou galleries from Kamen Rider Kabuto we thought we’d roll the clock back a bit for Toku Toy Box. Back to a character that as of yet, hasn’t even been teased to receive the premium renewal treatment that Kabuto, Gattack, & Dark Kabuto have. Join us in a brief look back at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider TheBee!

While TheBee is one of the older releases in the overall S.H. Figuarts line, as far as Kabuto figures go it was the 10th. So it doesn’t suffer from as many of the issues that plagued early releases in the line-up. While Figuarts of this time are undoubtedly outdated and under-accessorized, TheBee is still a truly memorable design with some charm to it. The figure itself goes for rock bottom prices these days and there’s no sign of a Shinkocchou Seihou renewal on the horizon, yet. The Hopper Bros were just teased at Tamashii Nations 2016 though, so anything’s possible. Check out our full gallery & review to see why TheBee may be worth picking up for now.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can view the entire 40 image gallery by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back on Christmas day with a truly one of a kind gallery for you as well!

The latest round of magazine scans also gives us some insight into the future adventures of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!

Items of interest this month:

*Ex-Aid will obtain the Mighty Bros XX GasHat and reach his LVL20 form- Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Double Action Gamer LVLXX! This unique configuration allows Ex-Aid to split into two fighters, and comes with a special new weapon called the Gashacon Key Slasher!
*The mysterious Black Rider, now officially known as Kamen Rider Genm will use his Bugster Buckle in conjunction with the Dangerous Zombie Gashat to become Kamen Rider Genm Dangerous Zombie LVL X. Genm’s new power is far stronger than any other Rider to date, and he uses it to steal the Gashacon Sparrow from Kamen Rider Lazer.
*A NEW Rider joins the game- we have our first real look at Kamen Rider Paradox! Using the Gashat Gear Dual, Kamen Rider Paradox can switch between two forms: Fighter Gamer LVL50 and Puzzle Gamer LVL50.
*Last but certainly not least, Ex-Aid will be receiving new powerups based on previous Kamen Riders! Only two are revealed in this early scan: Gaim Gamer LVL2 and Drive Gamer LVL2.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for this series! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider News.

“Now, count up your sins.”

A hotly anticipated release joins the line up for Toku Toy Box! In 2009 any first time fans made their way into Kamen Rider thorough Kamen Rider W, and as collector’s they’ve had to make due with the flawed offerings Bandai had produced up til now, but no more. S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W is finally here and blowing every previous release away!

Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W is in every conceivable way, the superior to the original line of W figuarts. There is no comparison, aside from the painful side by side I made of the two in the thread below. It’s incredible what an additional 5+ years of engineering has done for this line, and this character in particular. W’s suit is lavishly faithfully recreated here, and the figure has the properly engineered articulation to make full use of the charms and body language this design is capable of. Add a fully functional Double Driver with removable Gaia Memories and the two most perfect scarves ever, and you have the #1 Kamen Rider release of the year. Hands down.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view over 70 images of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see entire gallery and review. We’ll be back in two more days with another Toku Toy Box Gallery!

It’s the middle of the month which means it’s time for a fresh batch of official images from Tamashii Nations! Tonight kicks off with official images & release info for the upcoming S.I.C. Mashin Chaser!

Announced only days ago, Premium Bandai has just updated their order page for the Complete Selection Modification New Den-O Belt with official images and release info!

The CSM New Den-O Belt is the first Den-O related entry in this high end replica line in over 8 years. And it looks like they pulled out all the stops for this one. Not only can this belt be used for New Den-O’s standard Strike Form, but it can also assume Vega Form! Strike Form brings with it a wealth of voice clips from New Den-O’s Imagin, Teddy. While the briefly used Vega Form mode brings voice clips of Deneb from when he possessed New Den-O in the Decade crossover film. In all, this belt includes more than 50 sounds & voice clips! New Den-O’s Belt also includes his Rider Pass, Teddy’s Rider Ticket, & a blank New Den-O Ticket.

The CSM New Den-O Belt retails for 14,040 yen and will be released as a Premium Bandai exclusive in May 2017.

“Nice Drive!”

The prototype of Proto-Drive arrives in our latest gallery from Kamen Rider Drive! Hailing from Ghost X Drive Movie Wars Genesis, this form has actually been placed outside Drive continuity by a rare announcement from Toei. But that hasn’t stopped us from reviewing S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero Drive for Toku Toy Box!

In the context of the film, Shinnosuke & Takeru are trapped 10 years in the past. So this form is a pre-cursor even to Kamen Rider Proto-Drive, totally experimental, much more dangerous than Type Speed, and actually less powerful. Only Shinnosuke’s experience as the completed Drive in the present allowed him to master the Zero Drive form.

With all that in mind please look below to see our full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero Drive! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to see to complete 50+ image gallery! We’ll be back in 2 more days with yet another Toku Toy Box gallery!

And the next CSM release has been officially announced! If you can’t tell from my initial excitement, this one is very near and dear to me in particular. Up next for Premium Bandai’s exclusive high end role play line is the Complete Selection Modification New Den-O Belt! The original CSM Den-O Belt was actually released way back in 2008. So it’s taken quite a long time for Kotaro/New Den-O to finally receive his.

In the near future Premium Bandai will be updating their website with more information on this exciting release. We’ll be sure to to keep you up to date when they do!

Official images and release info have just dropped courtesy of Tamashii Nations for S.H. Figuarts Super Evolved Heart Roidmude!

Super Evolved Heart was confirmed for release late last month but these official images finally give us a really great look at it. But don’t expect this release to outdo the originals’ accessories. As with the first S.H. Figuarts Heart, Super Evolved Heart only includes 3 sets of additional hands.

S.H. Figuarts Super Evolved Heart Roidmude will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in May 2017 for 5940 yen.
