Before we all look forward to the debut of Kamen Rider Saber this coming weekend, site contributor My Shiny Toy Robots looks back on the beginning of the Reiwa era – Kamen Rider Zero-One. In a new age of artificial intelligence and technological innovation, Aruto Hiden hasn’t just become a CEO…he’s also a Kamen Rider?! With his aide Izu at his side, can Aruto stop the advances of cyberterrorists MetsubouJinrai.net, and fight for humans and HumaGears alike?

Featuring multiple Riders, tournament arcs and unprecedented delays, Zero-One’s had a bumpy ride along the way but it’s fair to say that the series has brought people a lot of smiles over the past year. Please check out the review and let us know your favourite memories of Zero-One in the thread linked!

Today’s geek culture has taken a serious hit thanks to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19.  We have seen the staples in the convention world shut down with a shift to offering only a spattering of the content we’re used to, sometimes behind a paywall.  Power Rangers fans will no doubt know that both Power Morphicon and RangerStop were forced to postpone their shows until next year at the earliest – there is no guarantee conventions will ever resume like they used to.

TokuNation is proud to announce our participation with The Viewing Globe – a Power Rangers Online Fan Experience for this Labor Day Weekend (September 4th through September 6th).  This is a free convention created by fans of Power Rangers and tokusatsu in general.

The first guest announcements are as follows:

  • Jason David Frank (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)
  • Members of the cast of Power Rangers Beast Morphers

Check out the full press release by clicking “Read More”.  Be sure to follow The Viewing Globe on all of their social media to keep up to date with all the news and information coming out for this fan experience.  New guest announcements every day leading up to the show!

Not to be outdone by the reveals of the Shinkocchou Seihou Kuuga’s today, we’ve also got fresh reveals of 3 new Tamashii Nations 2020 exclusives! 

Everyone’s favorite Ultra (who’s commemorating his 10th anniversary) Ultraman Zero, will be receiving an S.H. Figuarts Special Color Version release for the event. Decked out in metallic paint applications and including a specialized Tamashii stage, this release will retail for 5500 yen.

Next up is the event exclusive release from Kamen Rider Zero-One! After Shining Assault Hopper was revealed earlier this year, the question remained whether or not the infrequently seen standard Shining Hopper would be released as well. Look no further than this Tamashii Nations exclusive of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Shining Hopper! This figure will retail for 6000 yen.

And last but not least, Tamashii Nations is reaching into the past for this special release. Commemorating their own Tamashii Nations 2014 S.I.C. exclusive as well as the even older Tamashii Festival 2011 S.H. Figuarts exclusive is the brand new S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider OOO TaMaShii Combo for Tamashii Nations 2020! This special OOO form melds the powers of Ankh’s Taka Core Medal, with Momotaro’s Imagin Medal, and the Shocker core medal to create the living logo of Tamashii Nations! This release retails for 6500 yen.

Tamashii Nations is scheduled for Q4 2020 and as usual is likely to be held in October or November. As event exclusives these 3 releases will be a bit more difficult to come by than the average web exclusive, but they are likely to be released later as lottery items via Tamashii Web as well. As official images are release we’ll be sure to share them with the community.

“Cho Henshin!”

When Yuusuke Godai had to adapt to fight the more powerful Grongi attacking human kind, the Arcle unlocked more of the ancient powers of Kuuga! Now after quite a while since the last Kuuga release in the Shinkocchou Seihou subline, Tamashii Nations is giving us a double dose of the hero who protects smiles.

Set for release in February 2021 are two new additions to the Kuuga lineup with Kamen Rider Kuuga Dragon Form & Kamen Rider Kuuga Pegasus Form! This pair of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou releases are coming out at the same time, both as Tamashii Web Exclusives, and are priced at 6000 yen each. That’s quite the month for rider collectors. Official images have yet to be released for either figure, but we’ll update this article when they are.
