The second form of Kamen Rider Drive has been revealed!
Thanks to a vinyl collectors’ figurine leaking out before the intended release date, we have our first look at Drive: Type Wild! This new armor is apparently built for heavy-duty combat, with the Tire moving to Drive’s shoulder instead of the chest.
The secert origins of Type Wild remain unknown at the time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider Drive news!
Despite the release of wave 4 still being a few months away, Bandai have officially unveiled the fifth wave of 66 Action Kamen Rider figures via their website. This wave of the popular candy toy line will include, Mashin Chaser (from Kamen Rider Drive), Kamen Rider OOO Tajador combo, Kamen Rider Ryuki and Kamen Rider Black.
The wave will be hitting in March 2015, with the figures costing 380 yen each. Look forward to preorders soon!
This is certainly a quick turn around! Despite the series itself only being in it’s 3rd week, it looks like S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed is on the horizon!
Teased by the official Tamashii Features twitter account is our very first look at Drive. You may recall that last year Kamen Rider Gaim premiered on October 6th and just 2 weeks later the first gray prototype of S.H. Figuarts Gaim was revealed prior to Tamashii Nations. Kamen Rider Drive premiered October 5th and has had what appears to be a fully colored prototype revealed on October 19th in anticipation of the same event.
Tamashii Nations 2014 will being on October 31st so we can expect more in depth looks at this brand new figure then!

TokuNation is ready to kick off another round of new galleries, and this time with a one-two punch of classic Showa Rider action! This week we spotlight Kamen Rider Black RX’s two alternate forms; Bio Rider & Robo Rider!
Bio Rider, known as the Prince of Anger, was RX’s second form. Born in a life threatening situation RX achieved this form to rescue his ally Joe The Haze. And S.H. Figuarts Bio Rider is definitely one finely detailed figure, one of the best detailed figuarts for some time, featuring some of Bandais recent trend of real detailing. Right down to “folds” in the costumes fabric which are faithfully recreated. Bio Rider comes complete with an astonishing 5 full sets of extra hands and his trademark Bio Blade weapon.
Robo Rider, known as the Prince of Sorrow, was RX’s first surprising alternate form. In response to the supposed death of the young girl Hitomi, Robo Rider debuted in battle against Death Garon. S.H. Figuarts Robo Rider is sadly not one of the best figuarts released recently and includes only a few extra hands along with his Vortech Shooter. However this figure along with Bio Rider completes a display of Kamen Rider Black/RX for figuarts collectors. Though it isn’t as nice as Bio Rider, there’s enough there to love.

It’s TokuNation’s Stage now! We’re back with another in our long running series of Kamen Rider Gaim Galleries! Today we’re examining the one and only S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms!
Kachidoki Arms is of course Kamen Rider Gaim’s 2nd upgraded form after Jinba Arms. This tank, for lack of a better description, was an absolute powerhouse in the TV series and in figure form it’s presence is imposing. Decked out head to toe with incredible finely sculpted features and exquisitely painted details this figure is a masterpiece. Not only that but includes almost every accessory you could need for it, like the DJ Gun & DJ Gun Taiken Mode as well as the Kachidoki Batta flag-like weapons. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms is sure to be held up as one of the best SHF releases this year. Carrying on the excellent tradition begun by Gaim Oranger Arms, Kachidoki does not disappoint.
To see this figure in all it’s glory click “discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to a MASSIVE 80 image gallery as well as a full of Kachidoki Arms.
