DX Genesis Driver Review Part 1
After a short break for the Christmas holiday, Let’s Watch Wednesdays @ Tokunation is back! On Thursday! Remember that next week we’ll also be doing a Thursday Edition due to the New Years holiday. But for now, what terrible secrets lie hidden for Kamen Rider Blade?
The terrible truth of Kenzaki’s King Form revealed! The secret of Dr. Hirose & the Trials uncovered. To discover the secret of Eternal life another Joker will be forced into existence. The longer he fights as a Kamen Rider the closer Kenzaki will be to becoming that monster. But if Hajime could evolve past the chaos of Joker surely Kenzaki can, right? And what greater power is at work in the dealings of the Trials? What power does the Stone of Sealing contain? Most important of all, will Leangle ever be free of the Spider?

A new trio of magazine scans have been making the rounds featuring three possible S.I.C releases.
The first two come from Kamen Rider OOO’s movies: TaMashi Combo from Lets Go! Kamen Rider and Super TaToBa from Movie Taisen Megamax.
But the last might come off as a shock to some…with Love Combo being featured.
Unfortunately, the scans give no indication if these figures will ever see the light of day, and one of the scans indicates that Love Combo could become part of S.i.C Hero Saga, a side story told through pictures and dioramas whose set pieces very rarely sees an actual release. More updates on these figures when we have them.
Due for release in May 2014 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive is a Super Imaginative Chogokin re-imagining of Kamen Rider Skyrider! The star of the sixth Kamen Rider series is rather light on accessories, coming packaged with 2 replacement hands, 2 alternate mufflers and a stand-set.
SIC Kamen Rider Skyrider is priced 5940 yen, so be sure to get your orders in with middlemen soon!
Continuing the Tamashii Webstore‘s Christmas Eve listings is the S.H. Figuarts Auto Vaijin from Kamen Rider 555! This special transforming bike will be available as a single release and in a 2-pack bundle with the previously released Kamen Rider Faiz. While the 2-pack will also include all of Faiz’s accessories, the Autovaijin also comes packaged with replacement head, alternate hands (for both figures), Buster Wheel, Faiz case and a wheel stand.
Both editions of the figure will be released as Tamashii Web Exclusives in May 2014, priced 5400 yen for the single release and 8856 yen for the 2-pack.
Revealed only last week Bandai has already put up official images for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin! These much clearer images really show off the amazing organic insect design of the Shin suit. Shown to include an alternate head with open mouth and extra sets of hands, Shin is lite on accessories but then again what else would they really be able to include? Shin is unfortunately one of several bike-less riders.
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin will be released in May 2014 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 4320 yen.

Late last week we got a ton of looks at some brand new figures coming down the pipeline for S.H. Figaurts. Thanks to Toy World HK we have a roundup of new images for S.H Figuarts Tricera Ranger(MMPR Blue), Auto Vaijin & Faiz 2-pack, and Kamen Rider Shin.
Though a bit grainy the images do reveal some new details. Tricera Ranger will of course include his Triceralances, Auto Vaijin will include the Smart Brain suit case for the Faiz Gear, and Kamen Rider Shin appears to have an alternate head with his mouth molded open.
Toei’s official page has updated once again with a minor teaser for the next Arms Change figure- which any Gaim fan will recognize as Mister Dangerous, Kamen/Armored Rider Bravo!!
Sadly, it appears the Durian Rider will be a Premium Bandai Web Exclusive figure next year. Exact price/release details are not yet confirmed so please stay tuned for further details!
