The annual Tamashii Nations event is under way and as ever, there are a plethora of new items on display. Just as with every Tamashii event, an item being displayed does not necessarily indicate that it will be released however. A number of new items are currently listed as “Display Only” as well.

That being said, this year’s event has certainly provided a number of figures of interest:

Shinkocchou Seihou S.H. Figuarts:
– Den-O Sword Form
– Kuuga Growing, Dragon, Pegasus & Titan Forms
– OOO TaJaDor, SaGoZho, LaToraTah & ShaUTa Combos
– Dark Kiva
– OOO Ridevendor

Kamen Rider S.H. Figuarts:
Grand Zi-O
Build Genius Form
Ex-Aid Muteki
Ghost Mugen Damashii
Metal Build
Cross-Z Evol
Jin
Horobi
Vulcan Shooting Wolf
Valkyrie Rushing Cheetah
Rise Hopper

Ultraman S.H. Figuarts:
Ace
Joneus
Titus
Tregear
Grigio
Ultra Dark Killer

Tamashii Lab:
Ankh

That is a hefty grouping of new reveala. Once again, we know that not everything here will make it to production for some time, if at all. But it’s always pleasing to see just how much Tamashii pumps out for these events. As more new reveals, images, and information from the event surface we will update this story and the related thread.

Anything goes, it’s coming up OOO! We first heard rumors of this figure’s existence a few months back, but until now there hadn’t been any solid confirmation. Cue Bandai giving us the full HQ image reveal of S.H. Figuarts Ankh Human Form! 

As Kamen Rider OOO trusted but difficult friend & Ally, Ankh and his unique style were a mainstay of the series, and the relationship between the two characters and actors has lasted well beyond the shows run. With the recent release of Shinkocchou Seihou OOO, it’s fitting to finally see Ankh get his due as well. Besides a stunning likeness of actor Ryosuke Miura, Ankh includes his signature Ice candy as well as the OOO Medal Holder!

S.H. Figuarts Ankh will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in May 2020 for 6600 yen.

“Listen Todoyama, I’m leaving this to you.”

Like any Oni master, Zaoumaru Zaitsuhara took on an apprentice to pass along his skills, and one day his title too as well. But the young man once known as Tomizo Todoyama had other plans. Refusing to inherit his masters title, to create his own legacy, Todoyama took on the name Todoroki! It was then that Kamen Rider Zanki passed on the remainder of his knowledge, his skills, and the mighty Ongekiken Retsurai to the Oni Todoroki. But a warrior’s journey is forvere. Never far from the battlefield, and returning once again to take up the Ongekiken Retsuzan, Zanki continues the fight alongside his disciple, for as long as his body will last!

Kamen Rider Hibiki joined the S.H. Figuarts line as a Shinkocchou Seihou release for the first time over 4 years ago. Then last year, Tamashii Nations made a second addition to this world with Kamen Rider Ibuki. Earlier this year Zanki’s apprentice Kamen Rider Todoroki  joined and now finally we have Kamen Rider Zanki. Four releases in, this group of Oni Riders has shaped up to be some of best that Bandai has to offer. Zanki is another brilliant release, and if you’ve handled any of the Hibiki riders you know exactly what you’re in for. Armed with the Ongekiken Retsuzan, Zanki is ready to face the Makamou with the best Oni out there.

IWAE!

For those of us just tuning in, Toei announced that the adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O would be continuing thanks to a brand new V-Cinema project that’s forthcoming titled Kamen Rider Zi-O Next Time: Geiz Majesty. The initial trailer teased a new power-up for the freedom fighter of 2068 called Geiz Majesty and we now have our first look at this form thanks to a reveal from the toei_rider_ZIO official Twitter account late last night.

In addition to Geiz Majesty, another surprise comes from a new Another Rider: Another Diend joining the fight!

The story context for these two still remains to be seen, but if you wish to join in on the speculation be sure to hit the forums after the Rising Jump.

“A jump to the sky turns to a rider kick.”

Surprise! S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Rising Hopper is officially up for pre-order via Bluefin Brands!

Kamen Rider Zero-One began airing just last month, and last week the first S.H. Figuarts release from the series was both revealed, and went up for pre-order through Japanese retailers. But it’s time for North American collectors to rejoice! Bluefin Brands is officially distributing this release here in the US as well! The order page has just gone live on their website, you can place your order HERE.

With a release date of March 2020, and a super low retail price of just $35.00 with $6 flat rate shipping this is going to be a must order item for Kamen Rider collectors. From all of us here on the TokuNation staff, we deeply encourage you as collectors in the western market to order this release directly through Bluefin Brands if possible. Ordering a release like this for a currently airing Kamen Rider series directly from Bluefin, will help create encouraging sales numbers to hopefully continue the trend of getting new and recent Kamen Rider releases stateside.

Ruling over space & time is great and all, but if you have to walk everywhere it’s certainly less fun right? Cue the Ridestriker! Hailing from 2068, the Ridestriker is the personal Rider Machine of both Kamen Rider’s Zi-O & Geiz. Each has their own Ridestriker, and though they came and went infrequently in series (appearing in only 5 episodes), what’s a Rider without their Machine?

The S.H. Figuarts Ridestriker is an absolutely solid Rider Machine, and honestly it’s hard to mess one up in this line. Where this release shines is with the included accessories. Tamashii Nations has seen fit to not only bring us this versatile machine, but also to load it down with the signature weapons of the series two main protagonists. Thus filling the Zikan Girade & the Zikan Zax sized holes in many collections.  The Girade & Ax are included in both forms and we even get 5 new hands for each rider, as well as a couple optional parts to display the Ridestriker itself. This is a set that absolutely compliments any Zi-O Figuarts Collection.

Check out our 70 image gallery of the S.H. Figuarts Riderstriker & Zikan Weapons and read our review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’re back with an overdue gallery & review of Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Zanki!
