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!

At long last, meet S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive!! Debuted over the weekend at Tamashii Nation 2014, Drive was on the list of figures that was banned from being photographed. But now we get to enjoy this very clear picture of him as well as partial shot of his ride Tridoron in S.H. Figuarts form as well. It seems that the Figuarts Tridoron will be able to replicate Tridoron in civilian mode as well as Speed mode. Stay tuned as we try to bring more pictures to you from Tamashii Nation 2014 coverage.
Nearly lost in the shuffle amid this weeks’ big reveals, a brief teaser for some new merchandise from the upcoming Kamen Rider Drive X Kamen Rider Gaim Movie War- FULL THROTTLE has been found online.
This set will contain the E.L.S. HEX Lock Seed and the Lupin Gunner-which includes a modified Viral Core that also functions as the Lupin Blade.
Price & release details are not confirmed at the time of writing but the items will most likely be Premium Bandai exclusives.
Movie War FULL THROTTLE premieres in theaters December 13 2014!
Mix! Jimber Lemon/Melon/Cherry/Peach!
Following up on an excellent Zangetsu Shin Gallery by our fearless leader Kickback, it’s time for another dose of fruit rider action! Next up is S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Jimber Arms!
Kamen Rider Gaim’s first true upgraded form, Jimber Arms is a unique beast. Incorporating Gaim’s standard orange Lock Seed and an additional Energy Lock of choice gives him access to abilities in 4 unique forms. Jimber Lemon is the standard and the most often seen version of this power up. The Figuart actually includes all the alternate locks and breast plates you need to display him in Jimber Peach, Jimber Cherry, and even the never seen in show Jimber Melon! Also included are several pairs of hands and two versions of this forms trademark weapon (the weapon of choice for the Energy Riders as well) the Sonic Arrow!
Needless to say but Kamen Rider Gaim Jimber Arms is a welcome addition to a growing collection of excellent figures. Be sure to click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to check out 50 images of this fantastic figure! We’ll back soon with yet another Gaim related gallery, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Baron!
Much like the reveal of S.H. Figuarts Marika and Suika Arms Baron last night the Tamashii Features twitter account has officially revealed S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Jam!
Jam, much like the other Gaim S.H. Figuarts releases, looks gorgeous. Sporting his Darkness Arms and wielding his Dark Daidaimaru Jam will be a pretty impressive addition to any Gaim collection. As one of a handful of Gaim riders with no Arms Change figure to fill the gap, this will be a must own for completionists like myself.
If you look to the right you can also see a tease of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Mars, which if you know Jam’s back story is no coincidence. Here’s to hopefully more official figure reveals before Tamashii Nations 2014 is over!
TURN UP!
Kamen Rider Blade is returning with a new Drama CD set to be released next year.
The new audio CD is a brand new epilogue story set days after the last episode starting off with Hajime in a coffee shop taking about his memories and Kenzaki.

As Tamashii Nations 2014 continues we’re seeing more and more items that were on display earlier in the show but under a photo ban. Well no more for at least two figures. In a pair of images released by the Tamashii Features twitter account we have an official reveal of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Marika and S.H. Figuarts Suika Arms (Kamen Rider Baron Version)!
Both look absolutely stunning. These figures were present in the blurry image of the rather large and awesome Kamen Rider Gaim display we reported on Thursday. There are still quite a few figures reported to be in the same display actually like Jam, Mars, Kamuro, etc. As we get pics for more of them we’ll update you!
