“Cast Off: Change Beetle!”
Toku Toy Box is taking a look at another new premium style release from Tamashii Nations! Recently released as a Tamashii Nations 2016 event exclusive S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto follows up S.S. Gattack and S.S. Kabuto as the third release in the Kabuto line. You may recall that last month , we also did a gallery of the Original Release Dark Kabuto, well let’s just say that the Shinkocchou Seihou is a massive improvement.
Just as with S.S. Kabuto & Gattack, Dark Kabuto features the brilliant body type that began the entire Seihou line. Once again this figure proves just how incredible the engineering for premium releases like this is. We recently glimpsed prototypes of the infamous Hopper Bros from Kabuto at Tamashii Nations 2016 as well, so the Kabuto lineup of S.S. releases is really starting to shape up nicely. For now though Dark Kabuto is another fantastic addition that includes the perfect accessories to compliment his gorgeous design and paint scheme.
We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view over 50 images of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto in the full gallery thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in two more days with another Toku Toy Box gallery!
A new image has surfaced online, showing the next level of power for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!
By using the Maximum Mighty X Gashat, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid can transform into his strongest form yet- the LVL 99 MAXIMUM GAMER! This configuration is an oversized reuse of the LVL1 model, and will act as a cocoon of sorts for Ex-Aid’s final form- which requires 1 more Gashat still unrevealed at time of writing.
But Ex-Aid isn’t the only Rider gaining new powers in the future! This scan reveals a second Gashat called the Gashat Gear Dual Beta which allows both Kamen Rider Brave and Kamen Rider Snipe to upgrade to LVL 50 forms:
*Brave obtains heavy stylized armor to become Kamen Rider Brave Fantasy Gamer!
*Snipe gains an arsenal of mounted weapons and transforms into Kamen Rider Snipe Simulation Gamer!
Definitely some exciting times ahead for this series! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider news!
“Cast Off: Change, Stag Beetle!”
Toku Toy Box continues with another gallery of a recent release. Today’s subject was long overdue, and thankfully the wait has been worth it. S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Gattack is yet another incredible entry into Bandai’s high end line of renewals.
Kamen Rider Gattack is of course the secondary rider of Kabuto & the case can definitely be made that he’s the real star of the show. And thanks to the fantastic engineering of the S.S. Kabuto body, this star really gets the chance to shine. Gattack includes the full range of articulation previously seen with Kabuto and brings his own gorgeous color scheme and accessories to the party. Both of Gattack’s Double Caliburs are included & they can combine for his Rider Cutting finish. Also, unlike Kabuto, Gattack even includes an alternate version of his Zecter! To see how vastly improved this figure is you can also check out our S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gattack (Original Release) gallery.

“Riderrrrrrrrrrrrr, Henshin!”
Toku Toy Box continues! Debuting in the special Superhero Year tie-in film, Kamen Rider 1, the original Rider himself received his first new upgrade in over 40 years. Well Takeshi Hongo’s latest form is on full display in our special gallery of S.H. Figuarts Movie Kamen Rider 1 !
You’d be forgiven for expecting Movie Rider 1 to be a limited figure. While undoubtedly movie magic gave the physical suit a special flare & abilities all it’s own, this figuart packs a real punch. A big beefy and well articulated figure, Movie Rider 1 truly comes across as the embodiment of actor Hiroshi Fujioka. While the accessories may limited, this figures’ potential is not. If you were a fan of the Rider 1 film, or of Hongo in general, this figure deserves a place in your collection.

A new round of magazine scans has hit the Internet, giving us a look at the future adventures of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!
The most powerful Gashat yet developed, the Drago Knight Hunter Gashat is unleashed! Each Rider gains a unique configuration with a piece of the Knight Hunter armor-
*Ex-Aid gains the Knights’ helmet and Dragon FANG attack as Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Hunter Action Gamer Lv.5.
*Brave equips a new sword, Dragon BLADE becoming Kamen Rider Brave Hunter Quest Gamer Lv.5
*Snipe upgrades to the Dragon GUN and levels up to Kamen Rider Snipe Hunter Shooting Gamer Lv.5

So far, only Ex-Aid appears able to unite all 4 pieces of Drago Knight Hunter- taking on his strongest form as Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Hunter Action Gamer Lv.5 Full Dragon.
In addition, we also have a quick glimpse at the Mighty Bros XX Gashat, which splits Ex-Aid into Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Double Action Gamer Lv.XX R & Double Action Gamer Lv.XX L.

“Cast Off: Change Beetle!”
A dark reflection arrives in our latest retro Kamen Rider Kabuto gallery, it’s S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto (Original Release)! This classic release predates the recent Tamashii Nations exclusive Shinkocchou Seihou Dark Kabuto by a number of years. And while it’s clearly been outclasses by the S.S. release now, we thought it was the opportune time to take a look at it.
Dark Kabuto is a decently extensive repaint of the original Kamen Rider Kabuto figuart. Though the detailing on his chest and back isn’t quite as sharp as the new Seihou release. As with many other figuarts from this period he tends to be a bit off model, a little too lanky, and lacks a number of accessories. But on a budget, the original Dark Kabuto may fill the gap in your Kabuto collection.
We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but feel free to peruse the complete 40 images gallery after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Be sure to tune in next month during our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway to see our new S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto gallery as well!
