After months of waiting, speculation and leaked shots, we FINALLY have an official image of the 15th Hesei-Era Kamen Rider!

Kamen Rider Drive is the cover model for the latest issue of The Kamen Rider EX Magazine. At the moment there is only one image available but we do get a good look at Drive’s suit, Driver and (presumably) the Shift Cars that allow Drive to change forms during combat.

Kamen Rider Drive should begin on October 5th so stay tuned to TokuNation until then for further details!

Bandai isn’t done with Kamen Rider Gaim quite yet! It seems we’ll still be getting Lock Seeds well into Drive’s Premiere!

The Rider Lock Seeds will be continuing, featuring characters from Ichigo to J. There’s currently no word on when these new Seeds will be coming out, but the Showa lock Seed from the Movie Taisen set should give you an idea of what to expect.

Updated with pricing for both!

Figuarts Vul Eagle from Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan! Vul Eagle will be a retail in december for 4860 yen.

In another surprising reveal the 2nd of the 3 “Showa” movie riders has also been revealed! Joining ranks with the recently released Kamen Rider Shin is S.H. Figuarts  Kamen Rider Zo! ZO will be released along side Vul Eagle, also as a retail release in December, for 4536 yen! Could a release for the third movie rider, Kamen Rider J, be far behind? Time will tell!

Everyone’s favorite segment, Let’s Watch Wednesdays, returns from Kamen Rider Den-O’s movie! Now for the consequences…

Gaoh has been defeated and time saved for now, but at a cost. The delicate bond Ryutaro had with the 4 Imagin  is broken. Now the Imagin of Den-Liner, all but Momotaros, will fade away. But something is left behind, composed of all Ryutaro’s feelings and memories of them. However this device may be the key to unlocking the greatest power of Den-O. The ultimate Climax. Meanwhile Yuuto is faced with a harsh reality. With only one Zeronos card left, his next battle may be his last. What is the dark secret of the cards and their hidden cost? Can he rely on Deneb and Ryutaro’s new power forever?

Den-O Trivia #11
We’ve talked about the Imagin and their design origins, but how about a little behind the scenes action? When talking about the Imagin they of course have incredible suit actors which bring them all to life. Equally as important though is the voice which gives them each a unique personality. The lovable Deneb is of course voiced by the wonderful Hochu Otsuka!

Otsuka has been doing voice overs for many many years and in that time has had some seriously great roles that fans of anime and animation in general will recognize. A mere fraction of his roles include Chibodee Crocket from Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Jiraiya from Naruto, Ultra Magnus from Transformers Headmasters, even Captain Planet himself, and so on. But perhaps the two greatest roles tokusatsu fans will know him for outside of Deneb are the fantastic Signalman from Gekisou Sentai Carranger and the Narrator of Kamen Rider Gaim!

Some new information about the upcoming Kamen Rider Drive toyline has surfaced online. Keep in mind once again ALL DETAILS REGARDING KAMEN RIDER DRIVE REMAIN UNCONFIRMED BY OFFICIAL SOURCES. The actual toys & weapons may not match our early concepts!

 

Thanks to previous catalog leaks we know the collectors’ gimmick for Kamen Rider Drive is Shift Cars which will unlock new powers. Based on these recent reveals, we can identify some of the Shift Cars that will be available in early waves:

*Set 02 will contain Shift Dimension and Shift Dream Pegasus

*Gashapon Set 02 features Shift Burning Solar

In addition, Drive will also use Tires as a secondary gimmick. Based on the brief glimpses we have of Kamen Rider Drive’s suit thus far, we can assume the Tires will grant Drive new armor and weapons. Tires will be sold as add-ons for the TK collectible action-figure series (this years’ answer to Arms Change). Some Tires will be sold with new Drive figures, some will be sold only as sets (similar to the Module Changes from Kamen Rider Fourze).

*TK 02 will contain the Funky Spike, Massive Monster and Justice Hunter Tires.

*TK 03 is Drive’s second Type, Wild and includes the Rumble Dump Tire

*TK 04 contains Dream Pegasus, Mad Doctor and Spin Mixer Tires

*TK 05 features Drive’s third type, Technique and includes the Fire Braver Tire.

 

Definitely sounds like a winning assortment for the newest Kamen Rider! Feel free to join in our Ongoing Kamen Rider Drive Rumor Discussion Thread and share your thoughts about this latest reveal!

Melon!

The third release of the S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim line from Tamashii Nations is none other than the original melon warrior – Kamen Rider Zangetsu! A general release item, this figure retailed between 4,000 and 5,000 yen depending on where you ordered it from and at the time of this gallery and review is still readily available online as well as your favorite import shops (though prices will vary).

Kamen Rider Zangetsu, for those who do not follow the show Kamen Rider Gaim (you NEED to go watch it RIGHT NOW), is the prototype suit for Takatora, one of the heads of the Yggdrasill corporation. It is the first Armored Right suit to be made and was the test suit for all the others. The suit was only used in the show for the first 12 episodes or so of Kamen Rider Gaim before Takatora took up the Energy Rider suit known as Kamen Rider Zangetsu Shin (which has it’s S.H. Figuart release later this month!). The suit does appear again in the latter part of the 30’s in the show, but you’ll have to watch it for yourself as we do not believe in spoiling major story elements in our reviews!
