Just in time for the end of the year we have another behemoth Rider Machine to review! Not to be entirely outdone by Kamen Rider Drive’s Tridoron,[/URL] the late Showa classic Kamen Rider Black RX swoops in with this massive release to round out the year. S.H. Figuarts Ridoron!

The Ridoron, much like Black RX’s other ally Acrobatter, is a sentient machine that allied itself with RX in the battle against Crisis Empire. The Ridoron figuart is yet another excellent huge addition to the line following in the footsteps of other big releases like Machine Itasha & Tridoron. This one is a very straightforward release with no real accessories aside from the antennae you need to attach. However Ridoron does feature some excellent action features in the form of spring-loaded mandibles in the front bumper and functional turbines in the rear!

S.H. Figuarts Ridoron is another welcome addition to any Kamen Rider Black or Black RX collection. Feel free to check out over 30 images of Ridoron as well as a full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.  And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

The next big Super Sentai & Kamen Rider teamup project has been revealed!

Next spring, we can all look forward to Superhero Year: Kamen Rider 1– a special film commemorating the 45th anniversary of Kamen Rider along with the 40th anniversary of Super Sentai.

No plot details are available at this time, but the poster for this new film reveals a highly-revised new look for Kamen Rider 1. The upcoming Super Sentai team, Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger is also featured prominently in the poster- meaning they should have a role in the film.

Superhero Year premieres on March 26, 2016. Stay tuned to Tokunation for further details!

KAIGAN!

Another set of special Eyecons havegone up for pro order on Premium Bandai: we have Kamen Rider Ghost’s first entry into the Legend Rider line with a set of Legend Rider Eyecons.

The first set to be avalaible will contain Eyecons representing Riders from Kuuga through Decade each one will be done up in a spiffy metallic paint job and it seems like they’ll have a personalized display stand for every one.

Pre Orders will begin December 28th, 2015 and will be released in March 2016. The set will cost a rather reasonable 7,777 yen before middleman fees and shipping for collectors overseas. Do note that while pictured, the W through Drive Eyecons shown in the pre order page will not be included in this set and will be released separately at another date.

For-For-For-Formula!

After the holiday rush Toku Toy Box is back in full swing with a brand new gallery! Today we’re making another pit stop with Kamen Rider Drive and S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Formula!

Type Formula is Drive’s penultimate form, and much like his final form it has it’s lovers & detractors. I for one have always been a big fan of the Formula design but it doesn’t work for everyone. A recent Tamashii Web Exclusive, Formula is a unique release. Yes it includes the requisite extra hands, Formula Shift Car, Trailer Cannon, & even the swap-out Core Driviar-N chest. But Type Formula also includes a full decal sheet! The decals on this sheet help you recreate every single Shift Car “sponsor logo” on the suit! While this may seem tedious to most I have to admit it wasn’t that bad in practice.

We’ve included basically 2 galleries for the price of 1 here. A number of detailed photos of Type Formla without decals applied and a complete set of photos with decals applied as well! Read on by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to enjoy over 80 images of Drive Type Formula! And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

We’re long past due sharing this one with you, but for Toku Toy Box we’re pulling out all the stops this year! Released just recently as a Tamashii Web Exclusive we’re happy to finally be able to take a look at the massive S.H. Figuarts Tridoron!

The Tridoron is one amazing collector’s piece. What you’ll immediately notice about it is the hefty die-cast metal used in the undercarriage as well as the gorgeous and near flawless paint applications. Get beyond the shock of these features though and what we have is an amazingly functional vehicle with a WEALTH of accessories. Tridoron has working LED’s for head/tail lights, fully detailed & functional interiors, a number of new faces for Mr. Belt are included, as are several items necessary to replicate Tire Koukans on this behemoth. But perhaps most interesting of all though is the removable Driver’s Side cutaway model! A special stand is even included for it’s display. S.H. Figuarts Tridoron is literally one of the most all inclusive packages I’ve ever seen.

under Kamen Rider

A plethora of new Kamen Rider Ghost magazine scans have been posted online! These give us some remarkable details about the future of this haunted hero!

*First up, we have an up-close look at Kamen Rider Ghost Tokon Boost! This blazing red Damashii marks a new stage in power for Takeru, and its weapon- the SunglassSlasher uses a super-strong finishing move nicknamed Mega Omega Shine. In addition, Kamen Rider Ghost will receive two new Damashiis thanks to Tokon Boost: Goemon and Ryoma!

*Kamen Rider Specter will tap the power of the Houdini Eyecon to become Kamen Rider Specter Houdini Damashii! This new form sees Specter combine with his motorcycle, the Machine Hoodie for new & more powerful attacks.

*The third challenger for the Eyecons, Kamen Rider Necrom is fully revealed! Instead of the familiar Ghost Driver, Necrom’s transformation device is a wrist-mounted Changer known as the Megauloder. The identity of this new Rider is sadly unknown at time of writing.

Last but certainly not least, a series of Kamen Rider Ghost special episodes will be posted on Toei’s official Youtube channel to celebrate Kamen Rider’s 45th Anniversary. Ghost & Specter will each be receiving Legendary Rider Damashiis!

*The first special, Drive Chapter will be released on January 15 2016 and feature Kamen Rider Ghost Drive Damashii fighting the Heart Roimude.
*The second special, W Chapter is set for release on January 29 2016 and focuses on Kamen Rider Specter W Damashii VS the Terror Dopant.
*The third (and believed final) special, Gaim Chapter is scheduled for February 12 2016 and will see Ghost Gaim Damashii face off against Lord Baron.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for Kamen Rider Ghost! Stay tuned to Tokunation as we keep you up to date on all Ghostly details!
