Bandai is at it yet again with more collectible trinkets of your favorite Legend Heroes! The Arms Change line for Kamen Rider Gaim has proven to be one of Bandai of Japan’s biggest sellers this season so cashing in on that success with this unique set was a no brainer. Much like Ranger Keys, Rider Rings, and all those that came before it, Legend sets sell incredibly well.

Featured in Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle the Legend Rider Arms are this years movie exclusive power up. Generally reserved for the main rider, the main 4 riders from the series; Gaim (Wizard), Baron (OOO), Ryugen (W), Zangetsu (Fourze) each receive the “Arms” of a senior rider.

With the high sales of the Arms Change line and the in demand nature of this set, surely Bandai knows they can cash in on us pretty hard by making more Legend Arms? We can only hope! To check our or full gallery of this interesting set click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. More Arms Change galleries to come this week!

New “Detail of Hero” magazine scans have started making the rounds for Kamen Rider Gaim, giving us an early look at the new Energy Riders! 

These scans provide beautiful up close & personal looks at all 4 of these interesting new riders. A couple unique things to note, unlike the standard Armored Riders their Lock Seeds do not simply flip down when sliced but instead open up or blossom out in 2-4 sectioned pieces. And in keeping with the squeezed or “juiced” theme of the Energy Riders the inner part of all their visors appear to have drops of liquid. It’s the little touches that really set off this amazing costumes. Check out all the images after the jump.

The first rider of this new group, Shin Zangetsu, is set to appear in this weekends upcoming episode of Kamen Rider Gaim!

Let’s Watch Wednesdays is back at Tokunation  for the new year! It’s time for one last Thursday edition with Kamen Rider Blade before we pick back up for your regularly scheduled programming next week!

In a failed attempt at King Form Mutsuki unsealed his Category Ace. But the kind spirit of Shima saved him allowing him to use Shima’s category King power. With Blade’s King Rouzer in hand, the Spider Ace is at last pure, the true Leangle is born! But that won’t stop Tenounji’s brainwashed Undead from seeding chaos among the riders. Leangle has his power, but does he have the determination to use it now? Can the riders draw out their real enemy? Can they end the Battle Fight?

Be sure to take a look at and post in our weekly Let’s Watch discussion thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums”. Every post enters you in to possibly win an S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Blade or even a secret secondary prize! We’re near the end of our time with Kamen Rider Blade, and soon enough it’ll be time to choose our new show!

If you haven’t quite figured out by now that the staff here at TokuNation.com is absolutely in love with the current Kamen Rider Gaim series, this news will probably convince you as such. Being touted by Bandai of Japan as being on pace to be the most successful Kamen Rider series of all time in merchandise sales, and being touted by fans as possibly becoming one of the best Kamen Rider shows in the history of the franchise, we here at TokuNation.com decided to take it up on ourselves to create an ultimate resource thread for the television show!

Click here to check it out and to see episode summaries, character biographies, pictures, images, and more! Because the show is so deep and hidden with little nods and clues for future stories, we’ve done our best to bring up rumors and speculations, and even as we type this, we’re able to think of a couple more we haven’t discussed yet.

It’s a work in progress and will continue to be updated, modified, etc., based on what happens on the show. If you haven’t had a chance to catch up on the show, or you’re waiting for the right time to start it, now is the time! Check out the Ultimate Resource Thread and join the rest of us in the obsession that is Kamen Rider Gaim! Beware – the thread does contain spoilers as it recaps the first 11 episodes to date. Add some of your own information and speculation and we’ll include it in the thread!

Kamen Rider Gaim returns THIS WEEKEND with the first episode in the new story line. We’ll be watching and updating with information from Episode 12, “New Generation of Rider Appears!”. See you then!

As a follow up to the S.I.C Shin Kamen Rider 1 release coming later in the month, the S.I.C line will be releasing a new Kamen Rider 2 figure in the same style in the months that follow.

After it’s show casing in the last round up of magazine scans, Tamashi finally releases the first official photo of this figure.

The magazine scan revealing the figure showed that like Kamen Rider 1, Kamen Rider 2 will come with effect parts replicating his Rider Kick and Rider Punch attacks. In addition, he’ll come with a bonus display stand of a fallen Kaiju. Coming in May, Kamen Rider 2 will retail for 5400 yen.

Some new flavors are on the way for Kamen Rider Gaim!

This is our first official preview image of Shin Zangetsu, the upgraded white Armored Rider and the (apparent) first Energy Rider in the series.

Even though the Energy Rider transformation process seems different from the normal Armored suit, the Arms Change figures will apparently maintain its current basic armor design- meaning the Shin armor should be cross-compatible with regular Zangetsu release and other Energy Rider armors should work with previous releases.  This is, of course, to be confirmed.

Arms Change Shin Zangetsu will be released in late January 2014!
