The fan-favorite Arms Change action figure series isn’t over just yet!
Youtube reviewer k2eizo has put up a quick video demonstration of Premium Bandai Arms Change release 05- a two pack of Movie-exclusive characters Kamen Rider Mars and Kamen Rider Kamuro.
If you were lucky enough to preorder these figures, keep a close eye on your mailboxes- they should be available very soon!
A new photo has leaked out from the Kamen Rider Drive production crew, featuring the as-yet-unrevealed Kamen Rider Mach!
Mach is seen alongside the Roimude’s Grim Reaper, Machin Chaser– which seems to disprove the theory that Chase would become Mach later in the series.

It’s time for another episode of the Talkin Toku Podcast! After a brief, unplanned hiatus, Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom are back to discuss all things tokusatsu!
The boys start the show off by discussing the revelations of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger and quickly morph themselves in to a deep conversation about Ressha Sentai ToQGer and whether or not TeiOh (the final mech from the show and toy line) is the final culmination of everything wrong with the show and the toy line.
The boys then discuss the Tamashii Nations Event – the things they can’t wait for, the things they were surprised to see, their favorite toku and non-toku item of the show. Can you guess before you listen which item each host is eagerly anticipating? We bet you can’t!
Jordan and Tom discuss everything Kamen Rider Drive from the premiere to current while Chris disappears to eat dinner. Do they like the show? Dislike the show? Does it compare to Kamen Rider Gaim? Should it even be compared? Listen in and find out!
On to a serious topic – the revelation of the USA edition of the Tamashii Web Shop, meaning items only available from middlemen in the past may be ordered direct on the US side from the shop. If it comes to that, what does that mean for Bluefin Tamashii Nations? The guys get in to a very deep conversation about Bluefin Tamashii Nations, Bluefin Distro Group, Bandai Japan, Bandai of America, and even bring in the world of Transformers to make their case for the conversation. If you’ve ever had an interest in some of the inside workings of why certain toys are released or why their colors don’t match up to their source material, listen to this segment!
The show ends with the guys discussing what’s coming next for TokuNation.com as well as some Halloween moments as Chris and Tom dressed up as Power Rangers for the festivities. We also announce our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway – you don’t want to miss this year’s stuff!!

It looks like the Tamashii Features twitter account is still having some fun this week. Despite the Tamashii Nations 2014 event having been over for about a week now they continue to tweet out hi-res images of items that were on display at the show. In some cases giving us our first official look at some of the more secretive items on display.
Well today they’ve fully revealed S.H. Figuarts Tridoron from Kamen Rider Drive! This impressive vehicle looks to be just about the perfect scale replica of the real deal. Right down to what appears to be a fully detailed interior! We can assume for now that the incredible Pit diorama is jut for show purposes, but wouldn’t we all love to own something like that?
Shifting gears from Tamashi Nation to the Banpresto Prize Fair, Banpresto unveils their Kamen Rider Drive offerings.
And we start our engines with the D-Solid Heroes Drive Type Speed fixed posed statues one in his signature “Let’s go for a Ride” pose as well as holding the Handle Sword at the ready.
For WFC collectors, Drive kicks off with Type Speed, Wild, Cab, Proto Drive, and finally: Machin Chaser, additional release info was not revealed at the show.
Start your engine!
Baltmatrix and I have teamed up once again to deliver a 1-2 punch of toku reviews! This time we’re taking a look at the DX Tridoron from Kamen Rider Drive!
To start we’ve assembled a full 50+ image gallery of DX Tridoron for your viewing after the jump. This excellent vehicle is big, functional, and did we mention BIG? As one of the larger DX rider vehicles ever made it will make your collection of rider bikes feel inadequate. Tridoron also has the ability to transform into it’s 3 basic Types like Drive; Speed, Wild, & Technique. That in addition to it’s Tire Koukan compatibility, it’s functionality with shift cars, and the fact that it can accommodate 6″ figures in it’s cockpit all make the DX Tridoron worth a purchase in my book. And don’t forget the included Midnight Shadow Shift Car & Tire as well as the pre-order bonus Max Flare Full Throttle Version Shift Car!
And now take a look below for a full video review of this wonderful toy by my good friend Baltmatrix! On loan from my personal collection to Balt, I hope you enjoy his in depth look at DX Tridoron! This video review will showcase the transformations of Tridoron in practice as well as the way the in which it’s electronic gimmicks function & it’s compatibility with Tire Koukan tires & figures!
We’ll be back in the near future with yet more tag team gallery/video reviews from your favorite toku heroes old & new! But for now, All you need is Drive!
Tire Koukan!
Before the upcoming Kamen Rider Drive products for November are released we’ve got a pair of galleries and video reviews of current releases for you! Today we take a look at at the second release in Drive’s gimmick line, Tire Koukan, with the TK-02 Tire Set!
An accessory set for TK-01 Drive, TK-02 features three of Kamen Rider Drive’s recently used Tires. Funky Spike, Justice Hunter, & Massive Monster! A great addition to the line each of these new tires adds a little something extra to the basic Drive figure. And if you also have the recently released DX Tridoron you get a bit more play value from each as well thanks to it’s incorporation of the gimmick.
Before you check out my image gallery, look bellow to watch my good friend Baltmatrix’s video review of this set! He and I will be back in a couple days with a DX Tridoron review and gallery as well!
Check out 40 images of this accessory set after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation” forums at the bottom of this post.
A new leaked magazine image has provided us an early look at Drive’s secondary Rider, Kamen Rider Mach!
Mach’s true identity is unknown at the time of writing but we know from toy catalogs that Mach will use new vehicles called Signal Bikes instead of Drive’s Shift Cars.
Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!
