Tamashii Nations 2018 is just around the corner, and thanks to the official @t_features twitter we have confirmation of the two tokusatsu exclusives for the show.

First up is a repaint of the well received Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider 1 S.H. Figuart in Sakurajima colors. Since Tamashii seems to be working backwards from the “Shin Rider 1” design, how long until we get Hongo in his original colors? Rider 1 will retail for 6480 yen.

“Oh no!” The Black Hazard arrives continuing the pattern of black repaint event exclusives with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Tank Hazard Form! With Hazard confirmed at last, could we see Rabbit/Rabbit or Tank/Tank as well as Genius on the horizon? Here’s hoping. Hazard Form will retail for 6480 yen as well.

Both exclusives will be available at Tamashii Nations 2018, October 26th-28th.

New information for the upcoming series Kamen Rider Zi-O is slowly making its way out!

This time, we get to see a few more samples of the RideWatch Armor that grants this new Rider his powers. By activating a RideWatch in the Jikan Driver Kamen Rider Zi-O & Kamen Rider Gates can obtain the powers of past Kamen Riders!

The Armors currently shown are:


*Kamen Rider Wizard
*Kamen Rider Drive
*Kamen Rider Ghost
*Kamen Rider Ex-Aid
*Kamen Rider W
*Kamen Rider Fourze
*Kamen Rider OOO
*Kamen Rider Gaim

Additional RideWatches are shown for the remaining Heisei-Era Kamen Riders but their armors have not yet been detailed in full.

At long last the full merchandise catalog for the next Kamen Rider series has been revealed- detailing the powers and abilities of Kamen Rider Zi-O!

*Both Zi-O and the counterpart Kamen Rider Gates use the Jikan Driver to henshin. This Driver uses a primarily digital display and changes format depending on Zi-O’s attacks- the most powerful move is listed as FINISH TIME.

*The Riders gain new powers from the RideWatches– small items with the faces of past Kamen Riders! These can be stored in the RideWatch Holder or compiled in the RideWatch Dizer for a combination attack! The RideWatches are not limited only to past Kamen Riders- some watches actually represent ITEMS from past shows, including the Suika Arms from Kamen Rider Gaim. The first catalog covers ALL Heisei-era Kamen Riders!

*By using the RideWatches, Kamen Rider Zi-O & Kamen Rider Gates will obtain armor based on a previous Kamen Rider design. The first configurations shown in the Rider Kicks action figure line show Kamen Rider Ghost, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Kamen Rider Fourze, Kamen Rider OOO & Kamen Rider Decade!

*Zi-O’s signature weapon is the Jikan Gilade– a sword that becomes a gun. Meanwhile, Gates is armed with the Jikan Zax– a crossbow that turns into an axe. A third weapon known as the Ride HeiSaber is also on display, which channels the powers of past Kamen Riders for attacks.

*Kamen Rider Zi-O’s motorcycle is known as the Ride Striker and is summoned from a unique RideWatch.

*Last but CERTAINLY not least, Kamen Rider Zi-O has a giant Mecha! Known as the Time Majin, this robo will change forms & attacks based on what RideWatch is equipped.

Kamen Rider Zi-O is currently scheduled to begin on September 2 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation between now & then as we keep you up to date on this exciting new Rider series!

The past few days have given us some impressive teasers for the next Kamen Rider series, but now at last we have a look at the first official bits of merchandise for Kamen Rider Zi-O!

A photo for the next Rider Hero Series vinyl figures has been posted online, showing off the new Kamen Rider Zi-O and the counterpart Rider, tentatively known as Kamen Rider Gates. This is our best look yet at the new suits for this Kamen Rider project!

In case you missed it, Kamen Rider Zi-O had it’s big showing a just a few days ago with the first round of toy catalog scans have appeared online. At the time of the posting, only the Gashapon scans were available to us but J-Hero.com posted a potential list for the first quarter DX Toy releases.

While J-Hero claims that this list was provided to him by a vendor, we have no way of proving if this list is legitimate or not so, for now, please do take this bit of news with a grain of salt, and as always: stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll provide you with more updates on this as it becomes available.

“Zero Gear.”

Kiriya Kujou once made the ultimate sacrifice in the battle against Kuroto Dan. But in a universe full of game worlds, living viruses, and super deformed super heroes, it’s no wonder that the coroner with a cause would return! Making a return to the battlefield in our latest gallery, is S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Lazer Turbo Bike Gamer Level 0!

Lazer Turbo once again utilizes the popular and wonderful Ex-Aid body type to full effect. A solid mold with ample articulation, Lazer looks just as stylish as ever. Though armed lightly with the Gashacon Sparrow, it can split into it’s Sickle Modes as well and even features an improved connection tab. Looking stylish riding himself (Lazer Level 2) or teaming up with himself (Lazer Level 5), Lazer Level 0 is another welcome addition to your Ex-Aid collection.

We’ve attached the complete 50 image gallery to this post and you can check out the full review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a number of galleries from Garo, Ultraman Orb, Kamen Rider Build, and the original Kamen Rider soon!

It’s that time of year again folks! Kamen Rider Build is sadly drawing to a close, and as we say our farewells a new hero rises to take his place: Kamen Rider Zi-O who was revealed earlier in the week.

Not long after the reveal, our first toy catalog scans are beginning to surface online thanks to Twitter user @Tokullector and translations from @SpecialForm12

A few things worth noting from the translations:

  • Kamen Rider Zi-O’s belt is called the Jikku Driver
  • The second Rider shown previously is called Kamen Rider Gates
  • The form changes are called ArmorTime, both Gates and Zi-O uses RideWatches to activate these forms.
  • Kamen Rider Zi-O has ArmorTimes based on Build and Ex-Aid while Gates will use forms based on Ghost and Drive.
  • Zi-O’s default sidearm is called the JikanGrade and will have both a sword and gun mode.

Do note that what we are seeing are scans for the Gashapon toys, we’ll be seeing scans for the DX stuff in the next few days. In the meantime, stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll provide you more updates as they become available.

We have a better look at the suit of the upcoming Kamen Rider Zi-O! As an anniversary season it does seem that Kamen Rider Zi-O will be utilizing past Riders/Legend Riders as part of the power up motif.

A second form is also present although at the time of this post we are unsure if it is a second Kamen Rider or if this is a different form (think A.M. vs P.M.). We won’t have to wait too much longer for more information so stay tuned for more news on Kamen Rider Zi-O!

“You boys, never stood a chance against me.”

After devastating Mars, the extraterrestrial being Evolt came to Earth seeking to repeat this tragedy. To rebuild his arsenal & powers and become a complete being once again, he would play the long game of manipulating humans to do his bidding. Helping to create Faust, the Rider System, and taking on the guise of Blood Stalk, Evolt has meddled in human affairs for a over a decade. Now, he can also meddle with your collection thanks to the release of S.H. Figuarts Blood Stalk! 

Blood Stalk sees the return of the well received mold created for Night Rogue with a few key changes to give Stalk his trademark Cobra theme. As ever this mold is nicely poseable and full of personality. But it’s the accessories that really sell it. Thanks to a full compliment of hands, a functional Transteam Rifle, and some new Steam Effect parts. This mold will undoubtedly return at least a third time for Mad Rogue and I eagerly await it!

For now though, you can check out our full review and complete 80 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Blood Stalk after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back later this week with a review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Lazer Turbo!

After some back and forth with teases, silhouettes, and a plethora of rumors, we may finally have our very first look at Kamen Rider Zi-O!

Thanks to a tweet from @therealmatthunt we have what appears to be Zi-O sporting a pretty radical time & letters/characters based design. The images comes courtesy of a brand new Buttobasoul advert. And while it isn’t a full body shot, yet, it certainly seems to be our first legitimate look at the character.
