“Familial love? I felt no such thing.”

After a weekend of fantastic teases for possible releases from Kamen Rider Drive, we thought it was finally time to take a look at this excellent release. One of the strangest but most welcome retail releases for sometime, it’s everyone’s favorite maniacal, apocalypse bringing, evil deadbeat dad! That’s right, it’s S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gold Drive!

Gold Drive is a pretty straightforward repaint of the basic Drive Type Speed figuart with Proto-Drive’s archetype gear/proto-tire. The thing is though that this release takes an already fantastic mold, and spruces it up with the perfect paint apps. While this release brings literally nothing new to the table mold or accessory wise (in fact it comes with less) it’s probably the nicest use of this body so far. With the upcoming release of Zero Drive we’ve already seen 4 versions of this mold. Come on Bandai, when can we have Type high Speed? But this is yet another excellent addition to any Kamen Rider Drive, or in fact evil Rider/toku villain collection! Read on to find out why.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can enjoy a full gallery of 70 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gold Drive by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post!

That was certainly a quick turn around. Only today were we provided with our first looks at any of these figures. Now the Tamashii Nations website has officially opened it’s Ex-Aid section for public viewing giving us our first official images & release info for:

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Brave

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Snipe

These figures will be made available in a special 3-pack called the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Mighty Action X Beginning Set. As a bonus, a repaint of the 1st run bonus Gaim beat riders stage is included decked out with the Mighty Action X game logo. This massive 3-pack is confirmed for release in March 2017 for a whopping 15, 768 yen. The best news though is that this 3-pack is going to be a retail release!

In a rather shocking turn of events we’ve just gotten the surprise reveal of 2 more riders from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, but in a 3-pack! That’s right a 3-pack is in the works featuring Kamen Riders Ex-Aid, Brave, & Snipe!

This unique release will be out in March 2017 and retails for 15,768 yen. Currently we have no other details as far as included accessories or release venue (retail or exclusive). But given this is our first look at Brave & Snipe we’re likely to see both and learn more about all 3 riders during the currently ongoing Tamashii Nations 2016.

We’ll keep you up to date with any and all information from the event that becomes available, so stay tuned!

Ahead of the Tamashii Hour reveal at Tamashii Nations 2016, a new images of the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has begun circulating. This new image comes courtesy of @VinzChing on Twitter.

Although this image is a bit on the small side, it provides our  first full look at Ex-Aid, giving us some of our first impressions of what to expect from the full reveal this weekend. We can obviously see that Ex-Aid features all the great detailing present in the show suit. The figure has also ditched the “drop-down” style hips of the Ghost line, and appears to feature removable Gasshats.

While we don’t have much more to go on, we’ll be sure to keep you up to date with any new information or images that become available for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. As well as any new info from the Tamashii Nations 2016 event!

The biggest Tamashii event of the year, Tamashii Nations 2016 is happening this weekend from 10/28-10/30. As is always the case we can expect quite a number of new reveals, and perhaps a good number of those reveals to never see the light of day again.

However, according to the event site, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid will be fully revealed during what’s being dubbed the “Tamashii Hour” by the event staff. A very small and brief teaser can be found for this figuart on the site itself.

This exciting development is likely not the only one to come out of this weekend. As more information and photos from the event begin to circulate we’ll keep you up to date every step of the way!

And we’re back! After a brief hiatus as well as our special all-star 500th gallery celebration, we’re back to regularly scheduled programming. And the first gallery to kick off the next generation of TokuNation reviews is S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form!

S.S. Kuuga Ultimate was a recent web exclusive release that finally forced us to reexamine and trade up from the ancient original Ultimate release. Seihou Kuuga Ultimate is perhaps one of the most powerful looking figuarts, straight out of the box, I’ve ever seen. You can practically feel it in the sculpt. This is an excellently designed and executed figure that belongs in any collection. But Kuuga fans in particular will be able to feels Godai’s essence oozing from this figure. It’s a must own.

In the full gallery linked below you can enjoy over 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this article, and enjoy! We’ll be back in a few days with another Gallery 2.0 re-do with another classic release, S.H. Figuarts Deka Red!
