Seen only recently for the first time, we have official images for the Tire Koukan figure of Kamen Rider’s Drives next upgraded form!
Tire Koukan TK05 will be Kamen Rider Drive Type Technique! In this form Drive’s Tire gimmick has been moved to the chest. Included with Type Technique are the Type Technique Tire, the Fire Braver Tire, & the Door Gun.
TK05 Type Technique will be released in December for 3200 yen.
Revealed just recently via magazine scans, we have official images for the first Arms Change SP release!
Kamen Rider Gaim Drive Arms is a new form for Gaim exclusive to the Kamen Rider X Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle film. The AC figure of this form includes new versions of Kamen Rider Drive’s Handle Sword & Door Gun.
Gaim Drive Arms will be released on December 25th and retails for 3200 yen.
A new set of Legend Rider toys are upon us, with the Shift Cars attempt at the gimmick reveled through hacking the Drive Driver!
While not as unique as the Rider Lock Seeds that came out of Gaim, the Legend Rider Shift Cars seems to allow the Drive Driver itself to cycle through the different Kamen Rider insignias appearing via it’s light up LED feature.
Of course, we all know about Drive Type Fruits from the recent Movie War Full Throttle scans that just dropped earlier this week, but other Heisei Riders will be represented as well in addition to a noise for Dark Riders(Ichigo is shown, Shocker Rider Shift Cars perhaps?) And Black RX’s Rideron.
With only a hack to go on, we have no way of knowing what the Shift Cars themselves will look like or even how they’ll work with the Driver itself. Stay tuned and we’ll bring more up to date information as it becomes available.
Looks like the adventures in Zawame City aren’t over just yet!
A new listing for a special Kamen Rider Gaim DVD release has been posted online. This direct-to-video project is said to feature Kamen Rider Baron and Kamen Rider Zangetsu but actual story details are not yet confirmed at the time of writing.
The Gaim SideStories, along with a special new LockSeed (also unseen at this time) will be released April 22 2015!
After some extensive magazine scans arrived earlier this week showcasing the Kamen Rider X Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle film, it was only a matter of time before we saw images of toys from it. Look no futher as we have 3 stellar reveals today!
Tire Koukan TKPB-01 Kamen Rider Proto-Drive will be the first in a series of Premium Bandai releases for Tire Koukan. Retailing for 3500 yen orders will go live in December and remain open through February. Although possible other accessories are not known at this time, judging on the image provided the Proto-Type Speed tire should be removable. Accommodating what looks like a version of the Dimension Cab Tire which is included.
Tire Koukan TKSP-01 Kamen Drive Type Fruits will be the first SP releases for the Tire Koukan line. Drive will be released in December for 3200 yen and includes a Musou Saber & Daidaimaru. Drive basic body has also been repainted to match the Gaim inspired blue& Orange he sports in ht film.
Arms Change ACSP-01 Kamen Rider Gaim Drive Arms will also be released in December for 3200 yen. Appropriately complementing Drive Type Fruits, Gaim includes the Handle Sword & Door Gun! As these images show this hilarious giant rider head arms looks to be just as impressive as the previous AC Legend riders set.
December magazine scans have just been released and so we have our first round to post. For Kamen Rider Drive we have images showcasing Drive’s upcoming Type Technique form! Technique opts to move the Tire Koukan gimmick to Drive’s upper chest/neck area, we’ll see how that plays out in show, we’ve already seen a toy image of it though. Prior to getting this form Drive will also receive the new Door Gun!
Rounding out the info from these scans we see the introduction of FIVE new Shift Cars as well. Shift Rolling Gravity Shift Fire Braver, Shift Road Winter, Shift Colorful Commercial, & Shift Deco Traveler! In addition to this Drive will also be able to access the Type Wild mode of Tridoron! A third, female Roidmude on the same level as Heart & Brain will also be introduced named Medic.
Included in a recently released batch of magazine scans for the upcoming Kamen Rider X Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle, we have our first real look at these two upcoming forms!
Kamen Rider Drive Type Fruits sees Shinosuke using the Fruits Shift Car to gain a Gaim-esque set of Orange armor complete with a Daidaimaru & Musou Saber! Kamen Rider Gaim Drive Arms is accessed by Kouta using the Drive Lockseed, gaining him a set of armor inspired by Drive’s default Type Speed form complete with Drive’s signature Handle Sword!
The other included scans give us another look at the various Gaim Beat & Energy Riders returning for this team-up as well as several of the films villains.
An interesting new story has hit the web, courtesy of the good people at The Tokusatsu Network:
Fan-favorite actor Tetsuo Kurata who portrayed Kamen Rider Black and Black RX will be returning to the world of tokusatsu in a new film production- AND the film in question will feature a new Black RX form!
While Toei’s latest cinematic project has not yet been officially confirmed, Kurata’s blog mentions a release in the Spring of 2015. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on any movie news!
After some on the set spy shots captured what was thought to be this Drive Type last month, it was only a matter of time before toy images surfaced. The wait is over now, Tire Koukan TK-05 Drive Type Technique is revealed!
The first thing you should notice is that like Type Wild, Type Technique shuffles the Tire Koukan gimmick around again. Type Speed had a sash along the torso, Wild had a shoulder attachment, but for Type Technique the Tire’s attach to the neck!
This figure will be released in December around the same time as TK-06 Machine Chaser, Drive Type Technique will retail for 3456 yen.
Wild!
TokuNation continues racing down the track of justice with Kamen Rider Drive! And today we bring you another gallery & video pairing from the Tire Koukan toyline, it’s none other than TK-03 Kamen Rider Drive Type Wild!
Type Wild is only the second stand alone figure release in this line but it already sets the bar high. Rather than just a decent figure like the previously released Type Speed, or a stand alone accessory set like TK-02, Drive Type Wild is the full package. An excellently detailed figure complemented by the perfect accessories. His standard Type Wild Tire, the Rumble Dump Tire capable of splitting off it’s drill attachment for hand to hand use, and to top it of the Handle Sword! Type Wild really has it all, with that mean walking tank look and these weapons it’s a definite winner.
Below is a video review of TK-03 Drive Type Wild by my good friend and frequent collaborator Baltmatrix! Be sure to watch the review below and stay up to date with all his reviews by following him @baltmatrix on twitter and subscribing to his youtube page!
