“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!

The latest batch of toy magazine scans have just hit the web and from them we can get a good look at what collectors can look forward to as mass release figures in April 2017. Fans who were put off by the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Mighty Action X Beginning Set due for release in March can rest easy knowing that Kamen Riders Ex-Aid, Brave and Snipe will all receive individual releases that month! It seems each will include the same unique accessories as they do in the 3-pack, with Ex-Aid and Brave both retailing for 4860 yen and Snipe for a slightly higher 5400 yen.

On the Ultra Series side of things the S.H. Figuarts line continues its dive into the world of Ultraseven with the release of Alien Metron! Fresh from his recent appearance in Ultraman Orb, Metron will be priced 5940 yen and his accessories are currently unknown!

BREAK UP!

As the perfect followup to the upcoming S.I.C Drive Type Speed, Hyper Hobby magazine showcases the release for S.I.C Mashin Chaser! S.I.C Mashin Chaser is seemingly(as of this post) a mass retail release scheduled to come out May 2017 for 9180 yen.

In the magazine, he’s shown using the Break Gunner and Wing Sniper so those should be part of his main accessory count, though it’s unknown if he’ll have the other Viral Core weapons at this time.

In addition to Chaser, the scan shows brief glimpses of S.I.C Baron Banana Arms and Zangetsu Melon Energy Arms, though details on those pieces are still forthcoming.

Seen most recently at the Tamashii Nations 2016 event, S.H. Figuarts Super Evolved Heart Roidmude has been teased out for release for some time. Thankfully now it’s been confirmed for it!

Super Evolved Heart is of course a straight gold repaint of the original Heart Roidmude release. For those unfamiliar, this gold super-evolved form debuts near the end of the Kamen Rider Drive TV series as well as gold forms for Brain & Medic. Gold Heart isn’t likely to include any new accessories, but if the original is any indication this release will likely include 3 sets of hands.

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

Let’s Game, Super Game, Ultra Game, what’s your name?!

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid is well underway and so far we’ve seen a lot of positive reactions to the series. Now that we’ve finally had a chance to absorb some of what the series has to offer ourselves, we’re ready to share our gallery & review of the first figure in this line, LVUR01 Level Up Rider Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!

LVUR Ex-Aid is the first entry in the so-called gimmick line this year. An interesting figure, Ex-Aid manages to transform from his SD style Level 1 mode via a hollowed out shell, and assume his more iconic Level 2 Action Gamer form. As gimmick lines go, this one may not blow you out of the water, but there are some nice changes this go around. Level 1 may be mostly immobile, but it isn’t without it’s charm, and Level 2 takes full advantage of the standard articulation Bandai applies to the retail gimmick line every year (plus some double jointed knees!). And of course each form is armed with their version of the standard Gashacon Breaker weapon!

I am Boost! The Rumbling Ghost! Go Fight, Go Fight, Go, GO!

We’re a little late to the party with this one, but we’re happy to finally take a look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ghost Toucon Boost Damashii! The 3rd release in the Kamen Rider Ghost line, Toucon Boost is also Ghosts’ first real upgraded form. So what’s the verdict?

If you’ve been a fan so far of the Ghost & Specter releases then we can happily report that you’ll be looking forward to much of the same with Toucon Boost. While this figure doesn’t necessarily mix things up much, it does manage to take a basic body we’ve seen twice over, and things interesting. And we finally have a weapon that can really interact with the included Eyecons in the form of the Sunglasseslasher!

Let’s start this news post off by saying that a majority of us have always been big fans of Kamen Rider Gaim and the Arms Change gimmick. And many fans have already proclaimed that the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid show seems like a cross between Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Drive, but with video games. And if you had any doubts as to why people feel that way – check out these images of some of the upcoming LVUR figures and accessories! Pictured in this post are:

  • Robot Gamer (LVUR-05)
  • Beat Gamer (LVUR-06)
  • Kamen Rider Lazer (LVUR-07)

We have extensive galleries coming soon of the first two releases in the LVUR series – Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and Kamen Rider Brave – coming very soon! Will these be joining your collection? Join the discussion!
