NICE DRIVE!
In case you missed it, Toei announced a Kamen Rider Drive spin-off movie: Kamen Rider Brain was in the works not that long ago. Since the project’s announcement, we have our first look at the suit itself via a teaser that went up online recently.
While there is no Youtube link at the time of this writing, we do have a link to the teaser via Twitter from the @HKR20_offical Twitter account. You can view the teaser showcasing the suit here.
“In that case, I need to put an end to that destiny right now!”
Born in a future without hope, Geiz Myokoin fought as a resistance fighter against the overlord, Oma Zi-O. But with everything in his life decimated by the overlord, Geiz resolved to travel to the past and eliminate him before he could ever rise power. Using a Time Mazine & Ziku Driver, Geiz comes to the present day as Kamen Rider Geiz! But faced with a Zi-O who’s anything but the evil overlord he knows, can Geiz bring himself to change the future? Or will a begrudging friendship with present day Sougo Tokiwa send history down another path?
The final secondary rider of the Heisei Era arrives! Following up from our review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O, Kamen Rider Geiz brings basically all the same qualities to the line. A minor retool and extensive repaint of the Zi-O mold, Geiz is a well rounded, well articulated figure that fits in fantastically with mainline figuarts as well Shinkocchou Seihou releases. While it lacks weapons like Zi-O, Geiz does include two 20 Rider Kicks Ridewatch Tamashii Stages!
We’ve attached the full 70+ image gallery to this post, but you can also check out the full review of Kamen Rider Geiz by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we head back to the Morhpin Grid with a review Beast Morphers 6″ Cybervillain Blaze!

A new spin-off project for Kamen Rider Drive has just been announced– for a second time!
Originally teased as part of an April Fools’ Day prank in 2017 (with estimated release date of 2035) fan demand has apparently made this project a reality!
Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Brain is a two-episode special event featuring the return of the Roimude genius.
Actor Shota Matsushima returns once again for the title role and Kamen Rider Drive’s head writer Riku Sanjo will also develop the screenplay for both episodes.

This is no April Fools day joke! P-Bandai was recently updated with a teaser for the next Complete Selection Modification release. As you might’ve guessed from the title: it’s the Complete Selection Modification Delta Gear, to round out the trio of Riders from the original Kamen Rider 555 TV show.
No release info was disclosed at the time of this writing, but do check back with us and we’ll be sure to update you as we get more info.
No, it’s not an April Fools Day joke, but rather the revelation of the fourth Future Kamen Rider that will be making an appearance soon on Kamen Rider Zi-O: Kamen Rider Ginga!
We first heard about Kamen Rider Ginga through the last round of catalog scans. In them, it was revealed that Kamen Rider Woz will receive a power-up called Kamen Rider Woz Ginga, and this is our first look at the Rider proper. In addition, P-Bandai recently updated the DX Mirai Driver pre-order page: all Mirai Drivers will now include a plate and noises for Kamen Rider Ginga’s belt!
At the moment, Kamen Rider Ginga’s story, powers, as well as the man behind the suit, remain a mystery. But stay tuned and we’ll be sure to update you as we know more in the future.
TENKA, GOMEN!
If you might recall, Bandai teased us with the awesome new S.H.Figuarts for Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms earlier on in the month, The form hails from the Kamen Rider Zangetsu Stage play that was playing in Japan.

New photos have emerged thanks once again to some data mining from Tokullector. At this time we know that it will be released in December and likely will be a Tamashii Web Shop limited item. Stay tuned, and we’ll be sure to provide you with an update as it’s made available.
