A new round of magazine scans has hit the Internet, providing fans with a couple insights on the further adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O!

Next up for the time-hopping Riders is a visit to the world of Kamen Rider Gaim! The fan-favorite Fruit Samurai offers a brand-new power set, creating Kamen Rider Gaim RideArmor! This new Armor takes the form of Gami’s legendary LockSeeds and unfolds after attaching to Zi-O’s head. But the Riders must defeat the monstrous Another Gaim in order to obtain this new power…

But Zi-O isn’t the ONLY one receiving an upgrade! The trusty Time Majin gains the ability to channel RiderWatches and use new attacks- the powers of Kamen Rider OOO are displayed for effect. And it seems Time Majin will also be able to channel the powers of previous Rider Vehicles- new configurations are shown based on the Captain Ghost from Kamen Rider Ghost and Castle Doran from Kamen Rider Kiva.

Finally, a brief teaser for the upcoming Heisei Generations FOREVER movie is included. Zi-O will have to team up with Kamen Rider Build to stop a threat greater than all Riders!

Definitely some exciting adventures to close out the Heisei-Era Kamen Riders! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider Zi-O reveals.

“Crocodile in Rogue!!”

Gentoku Himuro lusted for power and conquest as the monstrous Night Rogue. But undergoing savage trials at the hands of Utsumi Nariaki & Blood Stalk. Gentoku would be reborn. Cured of the Nebula Gas influence, Gentoku remembered what it meant to fight for his country. It was only a matter of time before his heart was free to fight for his people, and his father’s memory. Though he once struck fear into our heroes hearts, Gentoku would now fight for love and peace as the dangerous Kamen Rider Rogue!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Rogue is another really stylish addition to the ever growing family of Build Figuarts. It’s unique color scheme and design really do stand out with the other riders in the line. The first Crocodile rider, (though we have seen an Alligator before!) Rogue does an excellent job subtly showing off it’s theme from the clawed feet, to the “Cracked” helmet. Rogue includes his signature Nebula Steam Gun, Transteam Blade, and even the Hell Bros’ Gears. It’s honestly the full package.

During a special Live Stream presentation rounding out the events at Tamashii Nations 2018, Bandai confirmed that the just revealed Hokuto Three from Kamen Rider Build will indeed be released! There was some initial confusion about the form these releases would take should they be green-lit for production, the prototypes lack joints and the placards specifically called them “S.H. Figuarts”. However the live stream has confirmed that the Hokuto Three will indeed be released as Figuarts Zero’s! There is no information currently available regarding time, price, or format of release, but we will update you when that information is available.

This live stream event also featured Kamen Rider Grease/Ixa/Dark Kiva actor Kohei Takeda. Takeda had the chance to show off the upcoming Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva Figuart and it’s functionality. Bandai even busted out the old Ixa & Dark Kiva figuarts along with the recent Grease release for Takeda to play around with during the stream. You can watch the entire event on Bandai’s Youtube channel.

“Best Match!”

Revealed yesterday during Tamashii Nations 2018, we now have our first clear images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Dragon Form!

Originally under a photo ban with a variety of other items at the show, Build Rabbit Dragon can now be seen in all it’s golden & silver glory. An extensive repaint of the Rabbit Tank mold, with some new dragon parts courtesy of Cross-Z, this form represents the fusion of Sento & Banjou’s powers as seen *very* briefly in the series finale. Could something like this actually see release? Even as a limited web exclusive? I personally hope so, but time will tell.

As if the announcement of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kiva wasn’t enough to get you excited, Bandai had one more surprise in store as well! We knew of this item being displayed at the Tamashii Nations 2018 event, but weren’t able to see it because of the annual photo ban on certain items. Now, via SHFindo, we have our very first look at the S.H. Figuarts Machine Kivaa & Parts Set!

Kivaa is of course Kivaa’s stylish personal Rider Machine, and hot on the heels of Kiva’s own announcement, this is pretty exciting. Better still, it looks as though Bandai will be including the iconic Bloody Rose violin as well as the chair/throne Kiva is commonly seen seated in during the OP and in promotional material. While there are no confirmed release details for this set as of yet, one has to assume Bandai would be working on it with the Kiva hype at an all time high.

“Best Match!”

Tamashii Nations day 2 has gotten off to a pretty wild start for Kamen Rider Build fans! A number of new reveals that were under photo bans have finally been revealed:

S.H. Figuarts:
Kamen Rider Evol Cobra Form
The Hokuto Three Crows (Aoba, Kiba, Akiba)
Kamen Rider Grease (With Crows Dog Tags)
Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Rabbit Form
Kamen Rider Build Tank/Tank Form
Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Dragon Form

Rabbit/Dragon, the final form debuting in the final episode of the series, has yet to be seen in a properly clear photo, as it’s still under the photo ban. The Hokuto Three are listed as S.H. Figuarts on their placard, however they do appear to be non-articulated Figuarts Zero’s based on the prototypes shown. They’re definitely quite an interesting release if they make it out to retail eventually.  As is we have no confirmed release info for any of these figures.

As more information and images become available we’ll be sure to update you in the ongoing Tamashii Nations 2018 discussion thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” below to catch up on the discussion. Images for this story come from AmiamiNews, and Tokullector.

“Robot in Grease!”

Kazumi Sawatari, was a humble farmer once, but the war to save or conquer Japan would pit him against heroic Kamen Riders, evil industrialists, scheming politicians, and even extraterrestrial monsters. Driver in hand, Kazumi sacrificed everything to be a hero and stand up for those he lost, and those he loved. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Grease recreates the character we know and love, and today we have a full gallery and review of it!

Kamen Rider Grease manages to be yet another really wonderful addition to the Build line-up. It may have a lot to do with just how memorable all of the characters from the series are, but each of their figures feel like such a refresher. Each with it’s own unique charm to it. Grease’s gorgeous gold color scheme and translucent black parts combined with the Sclash Driver & Twin Breaker add up to a pretty much perfect release.

The full gallery is attached to this post, but if you’d like to read the full length review as well, just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with more Build and several Ex-Aid galleries!

Today represents a monumental occasion for fans of Kamen Rider and SH Figuarts!

Ever since this line of action figures began, one particular Kamen Rider has been noticeably absent from major release. But now, after ten long years of waiting (and meme-ing) the Fangire Hunter Kamen Rider Kiva finally gets his due!

Kamen Rider Kiva’s basic form has been recreated in exquisite details. The figure will include Kivat (his bat-robot sidekick) along with the six Fuestles used in-series to unlock Kiva’s alternate forms & attacks.

SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Kiva is currently scheduled for release in April 2019! The price is a modest 7560 Yen before shipping and handling.
