The Kamen Rider franchise continues its expansion with another milestone: a dedicated storefront!
The first official Kamen Rider Store will be opening at Tokyo Station offering a wide variety of merchandise based on the legendary heroes.
Certain releases will be exclusive to the Kamen Rider Store- including shirts, key chains and markers.
The Kamen Rider Store officially opens July 1 2020! For the time being, visits must be pre-registered due to COVID-19 concerns.
The new tokusatsu streaming platform TokuSHOUTsu has announced the next entry in their lineup!
The 2018 crossover film Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER will be coming to Pluto TV with official English subtitles. This will be the first major Western release of a Kamen Rider movie.
Sadly, an exact release date has not been confirmed at time of writing- merely a release window of July 2020.
“The steel blue warrior! Tank Tank!”
In his berserker Hazard Form, Sento Kiryu can gain the upper hand in any fight. To contain this uncontrollable power, Sento develops a new Full Bottle to channel his strength and his consciousness. With the Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle, two new divergent forms are born! One with all the speed and agility of a rabbit, the crimson speedy jumper Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Rabbit Form! The other, bearing the firepower of it’s own military force and the strength to wield it, the steel blue warrior, Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form! Representing his home Seito in the 3-round battle, Build tests his new powers against the dangerous Kamen Rider Rogue….
Joining an ever growing family of riders, villains, and alternate forms, Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form will fight for love and peace as the beefy power house of your Build collection. A retool of the fantastic Rabbit Rabbit Form, Tank Tank utilizes what has been an excellent base figuart mold throughout the series, but also adds some extra flavor to the mix with the inclusion of the massive Full Full Match Break Tank Mode parts! Armed with these and the Full Bottle Buster, Tank Tank Form is a must own for any Kamen Rider Build fan.

“There’s only one thing that can stop you, and that’s me!”
In a world where the life of the average human has been made easier by robotic helpers called Humagears, Hiden Intelligence is at the forefront of technological advancement. But with the passing of their founder, Korenosuke Hiden, the duties & responsibilities of president have passed on to his grandson, Aruto. Authorized to use the Progrise Keys & Zero-One Driver, this young man will fight to build a world where Humans & Humagers can coexist and smile together, as Kamen Rider Zero-One!
The Reiwa Era has begun with the first fantastic release from Kamen Rider Zero-One! I must say that Rising Hopper is an excellent design that’s translated to figure form rather perfectly. Exuding personality and functionality, Zero-One really has knocked it out of the park with it’s first release. While this figure isn’t armed with much aside from additional hands (his weapons comes with Vulcan) it’s undeniable how stylish and realistic this figure looks in person. And of course there’s that added bonus of black light reactive parts to drool over!
We’ve assembled 60+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Rising Hopper for your viewing pleasure. You can view the entire gallery and read through our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we have the formula for another great gallery with Build Tank Tank Form!
Toei has officially filed a trademark naming the next Kamen Rider series.
The second Rider of the Reiwa Era will be Kamen Rider Saber!
At time of writing, no further information concerning Kamen Rider Saber has been confirmed. Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Kamen Rider reveals!
While Kamen Rider remains on hiatus for the time being, production details for the current series Kamen Rider Zero-One continue as normal.
Because of this, we now have some new images of the newest configuration for Zero-One: Kamen Rider Zero-Two!
This new form is created by combining the Hiden 01 Driver with a new device called the 02 Driver Unit. A new Progrise Key called the 02 Progrise Key will unlock Kamen Rider Zero-Two when used with the new Driver configuration.
Be sure to join in our Ongoing Kamen Rider Zero-One discussion thread to share your thoughts & fears on this unique new form!

“Black Hole! Black Hole! Black Hole!”
Evol’s strongest form finally arrives with an S.H. Figuarts release! Originally teased quite some time ago, Evol Black Hole will be a perfect compliment to the recently released Evol Phase 1.2.3 set, which we reviewed back in March. Now that this alien menace will finally be complete thanks to the powers of the Evol Trigger, you can add him to your collection for 7700 yen in November 2020. Black Hole will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive and we recommend you don’t wait this one out, it’s likely to go up in value based on the first Evol release.
