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!

And after the jump we’ve assembled 70 images of this excellent figure for your viewing pleasure! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” to be taken to the full gallery thread. Baltmatrix & I will be back once again in the near future with a series of Power Rangers Dino Charge reviews as well!

SODA!

The first of the Premium Bandai items from Kamen Rider Drive X Kamen Rider Gaim Movie War Full Throttle’s just opened up for pre order: and it’s the E.L.S HEX Lock Seed of Kamen Rider Duke.

 

What’s more, the good doctor’s actor Tsunenori Aoki appears in character as Professor Ryoma Sengoku himself to promote this item, continuing the trend from previous Premium Bandai Gaim releases.

The DX HEX Lock Seed will be released January 5th retailing for the reasonable price of 2,160 yen before shipping and middleman fees are factored in.

Following the release of S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed’s offical gallery just yesterday, the S.H.Figuarts Trideron compaion piece was featured in much more detail in this month’s issue of Figureoh magazine along with our first look at the inside of the figure itself. S.H.Figuarts Drive will be able to fit inside of course, though how this will be done is still unknown.

 

With how much press the S.H.Figuarts Trideron is receiving, the possibility for an actual release seems highly likely! Though whether or not this will be mass retail or Web Shop only, the scans do not say.

At the recently held Miyazawa Model Exhibition, Medicom was present to unveil new products. Of note, we have a new RAH DX Kamen Rider Black 2.0 on the way.

The high end Century King will be going up for pre order this January and will be shipped sometime in August.

The cost of the figure will be a steep 22,680 yen but the time gap between release should offer plenty of time to save up.

Kurumi Arms, misterrrrrrrr Knuckleman!!

Premium Bandai is at it once again! Continuing the ever popular Arms Change line of action figures from Kamen Rider Gaim is the 4th premium AC release. ACPB04 Arms Change Kamen Rider Knuckle Kurumi Arms!

Knuckle is of course the 2nd rider from Team Baron, and was the teams de facto leader after Kaito Kumon quit the Beast Rider scene. Being a bit of mix/match Knuckle winds up having a basic body mostly like that of Kurokage but with an altered semi-Gridon style head. Where Arms Change Kamen Rider Knuckle shines though is the included Kurumi Arms (walnut). A nice big bulky set of armor with quite a bit of detail that really makes this otherwise plain looking figure pop. Then there’s also his trademark weapons the Kurumi Bomber gauntlets. These gigantic fists set Knuckle apart from the rest of the Armored Riders out there making him a strictly short range hand to hand combatant. This unique pairing of Arms & weapons actually work well with almost any Arms Change figure out there too as we’ve demonstrated in the full gallery.

But before you check out our image gallery of this latest addition to the Arms Change line, you need stop below and check out our friend and contributor Baltmatrix’s video review of AC Knuckle! 

As always we’ve done our best to come together and give you a full package experience between images and video of yet another offering in this ever growing line. After you’ve checked out Baltmatrix’s video review please be sure to click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full gallery of over 50 images!

START YOUR ENGINE!! Because all we need is Drive! S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive that is, and you can get your very own in April of 2015 for 4,320 yen.  Tamashii Nations went all out and provided many detail pictures of Kamen Rider Drive as well as a YouTube Video.  Unfortunately the pictures did not disclose Tamashii Nation’s plans with the tire change gimmick features heavily in the show, but the YouTube video did show Kamen Rider Drive with the Max Flare form.  For now, enjoy the pictures and get ready to lose all the tiny shift cars and tell us if you are ready for Drive in our discussion forum.

 

UPDATE: We stumbled upon another image thanks to @pencoin on twitter, it seems that the April release will come with the bonus swappable Max Flare Tire and flame effect, and then Midnight Shadow and Funky Spike will follow in May and June respectively

Joining the Tire Koukan line next month it seems TK-06 Machine Chaser will be more of an all inclusive package than we thought. Not only will he include his Break Gunner weapon but also all 3 weapons accessed from his Chaser Spider, Chaser Bat, & Chaser Cobra Viral Cores! This new image of Machine Chaser also confirms his compatibility with Kamen Rider Drive’s Tires!

So now we know that Machine Chaser can steal and use Shift Cars as recent episodes have shown, the toy demonstrates his ability to use Drive’s Tires, and we know that in the near future his bike the Ride Chaser will have a combination features with Kamen Rider Mach’s Ride Macher. What do all these bits of information amount to? We’ll find out in the coming months.

For now be sure to pick up TK-06 Machine Chaser which releases in December for 3456 yen.
