It’s time for TokuNation to take a trip back to the 90’s again for this one. We’re revisiting the world of the Kamen Rider 20th Anniversary project Kamen Rider ZO with a new figure gallery! Today’s subject is a companion piece to our ZO gallery from January, the Neo Organism given physical form, S.H. Figuarts Doras!

Doras is cyborg like creature created by the Neo Organism in the film to hunt for the son of it’s creator. Of course like an respectable villain, along the way Doras gets entangled with Kamen Rider ZO. Doras the toy is one of the more magnificent Figuarts on the market. In much the same way we heaped praise on the sculpt of Kamen Rider Shin, Doras is a marvel of detailing and sculpt. An absolutely glorious figure to look at, S.H. Figuarts Doras captures the pure evil of his namesake and reminds us of a time when villain designs weren’t just good, they were amazing. Whether you remember the character fondly from the Kamen Rider ZO film or his later appearance in Decade/W Movie Wars 2010 this figure will not disappoint you.

A selection of images are attached to this post but the full gallery containing over 50 images can be found by clicking “discuss on the TokuNation forums at the bottom of this post. S.H. Figuarts Doras is an incredible companion piece to Kamen Rider ZO and for now at least they look like the only 2 figures we’ll be getting from that film. But you can be certain that when or if more figuarts from ZO are produced, we’ll cover them!

Kamen Rider Ghost premieres this coming October 2015 with his first appearance slated for the Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future movie. Join in our discussion of all things Kamen Rider Ghost by clicking the “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” link!

One more Rider comes to Zawame City!

And the hits keep on coming! Following up from Kamen Rider Ghost scans from Figure Oh, we have a selection of new Kamen Rider Drive images from August airing episodes! Not only do we see the upcoming Ultimate Evolution of Medic, but also 2 brand new riders!

First up is the new Kamen Rider Gold Drive! As indicated by the scans this rider is actually the consciousness of Banno Tenjuro, the creator of the Roidmudes, given physical form with a spare Drive Driver. The gold coloring of this form would seem to indicate it’s related to the Ultimate Evolution of the Roidmudes, perhaps the 4th of the promised number?

The 2nd new rider revealed today is a Mass Production version of Kamen Rider Mach! In an effort to conitnue the fight against the Roidmudes, the Metro PD has mass produced Mach HonOh Drivers and armor. Rather than a Shift Bike or Car though, this new MP Mach Driver uses a generic version of the Tridoron Key to initiate the transformation!

That’s quite a few curve balls for Drive to be throwing us this late in the game, how it all ends is anyone’s guess from here!

A plethora of new images have come online, giving the world its first genuine look at the 17th Hesei-Era Kamen Rider!

These magazine images show off Kamen Rider Ghost in splendid detail, starting with his cameo appearance in Surprise-Drive and offering a few brief teasers for his upcoming television show.

Some new details about Ghosts’ arsenal have also been revealed- Kamen Rider Ghost’s alternate forms are listed as Damashii (literally soul). In addition to the Ore Damashii that creates Ghosts’ default form, these images reveal the yellow Edison Damashii, the red Musashi Damashii and the blue Newton Damashii. In addition, we also have some up-close shots of the Ghost Driver and the Eyecons that Ghost will use to change Damashii forms.

Today  brings yet another early look at the upcoming 17th heisei kamen rider, Kamen Rider Ghost! 

– First up we have a brand new image giving us our first full bodied look at Ghost in 3 of his forms; Musashi Soul, Edison Soul, & Ore Soul.

– Next we have our first look at the various new weapons created from the combination of Ghost’s Ghost Gadgets with his Gangan Saber! Follow this link to see our breakdown of how those combinations work for each of Ghost’s Souls.

– Lastly we have our first clear look at how this years gimmick action figure line, Ghost Change, will work! In a similar fashion to the old COR line from Kabuto or the AC line from Gaim, the Soul “jackets” are accessories that snap on over the basic rider bodies. The jacket has a rotating face plat that when not connected to a rider gives the effect of a ghostly aura where the face should be. It would also apepar that the “sleeves” are jointed somewhat so as not to hinder the figures articulation. We know based on the Ghost Series release information that Ghost & Specter bodies will only be included with GC01 & GC03.

We’ll continue tot keep you up to date with all the Kamen Rider Ghost news we can as it becomes available!

Following up on the Ghost Gadget information, The Ghouly News has stumbled upon another find from Kamen Rider Ghost! This time we’re getting a better look at the upcoming Ghost Change series of gimmick figures. This years version of WAP, AC, TK, etc retail figures.

We’d previously known that GC01 would be Ghost Ore Soul, and that GC03 would be Specter, Specter Soul. And now we have some new images to match up with the rest of the sets as well:

  • GC01 Kamen Rider Ghost Ore Soul (October) 3456 yen. Includes a basic Ghost body and his jacket accessory as well as the Gangan Saber.
  • GC02 Musashi Soul & Edison Soul set (October) 2700 yen. Includes both Soul “jackets” and 2 weapons, 1 for each.
  • GC03 Kamen Rider Spectre, Specter Soul (November) 3456 yen. Includes a basic Specter body and his jacket accessory as well as the Gangan Hand.
  • GC04 Robin Soul & Billy the Kid Soul set (November) 2808 yen. Includes both soul “jackest” and 3 weapons/accessories.
  • GC05 Tutankhamun Soul & Nobunaga Soul set (December) 2700 yen. Includes both Soul “jackets” and 2 weapons.
  • GC06 Beethoven Soul & Benkei Soul set (December) 2700 yen. Includes both Soul “jackets” and 2 weapons/accessories.
  • GCEX Movie Wars 2016 2-Pack. This set is one we don’t know much about yet other than it includes the same as the above sets, 2 soul jackets and 2 accessories. Presumably one for Ghost & one for Specter.

As we’ve found out today, the additional Soul sets will be only the new set of armor for the rider with accessories, rather than including a whole new base body. You’ll need the base GC01 Ghost & G03 Specter to use each of the Soul 2-packs.

As we continue to have new pieces of the Kamen Rider Ghost toy catalog revealed we’ve finally come to the portion many have speculated on, the Ghost Gadgets! Credit to The Ghouly News for this latest set of finds!

A series of additional animal themed items that allow Ghost to carry out hit ghost hunting duties, each has 2 modes (object & animal) as well as a special combined form with the Gangan Saber dependent on the soul currently in use:

  • Condor Phone when combined with the Gangan Saber Ghost Robin Soul crossbow is formed
  • Bat Clock when combined for Ghost Billy Soul a rifle is formed
  • Cobra Mobile when combined a sickle for Ghost Tutankhamen Soul is formed
  • Spider Lantern and lastly when Kamen Rider Specters Gangan Hand and used with the Tutankhamen Soul, a hammer is formed!

More information is rolling in as well, like our first look at the Ghost Change series of gimmick figures!
