After a number of false starts and fake leads, it seems we finally have a name for the 17th Heisei Kamen Rider!
Toei has filed a trademark for the name Kamen Rider Ghost! The new series and toyline will replace Kamen Rider Drive on shelves & airwaves later this year.
Sadly, no other information about Kamen Rider Ghost is available at the time of writing. Feel free to join in our ongoing Kamen Rider Rumor Discussion to share your hopes, dreams and fears about this upcoming project!
A new round of magazine scans has been posted online, giving us our first official look at Kamen Rider Drive’s final form- Type Tridoron!
Type Tridoron is unlocked using the Shift Tridoron Shift Car and allows Drive to fuse multiple Shift Cars with a new ability called Tire Kakimazeru or Mix-Up.
In addition the scans show a new form for the villainous Roimudes– a modified golden frame known as Cho Shinkatai (meaning Super-Evolved Body).
Things are taking a strange turn during Kamen Rider Drive’s final laps! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Drive details!

Tokunation is in Top Gear today! We’re proud to finally be able to share a full gallery and review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed! As well as the included 1st Run Bonus Max Flare Set!
Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed is our titular heroes basic form, but the figure itself is far from that. While it may appear to have a lite accessory count, only 2 pairs of hands, this figure more than makes up for that with it’s versatility and interchangeability. Not only can the tires be removed to replicate the Tire Koukan gimmick, but so can the read outs on the Drive Driver, the flipped Shift Cars in the brace, and even the Shift Cars on Drive’s holster! The level of thought and engineering that’s gone into this figure is astounding, and the included 1st run Max Flare bonuses more than makes up for any lack of accessories. This figure is hands down worth your purchase.
We have a full gallery, totally over 100 images, after the jump as well as an in depth review detailing the wonderful aspects of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed. Just click “discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the complete thread. If you don’t get the point from our review then let me state it simply here, all you need is Drive.
