Today we have some sad news to report. Verne Troyer, the actor perhaps best known for his role as the character Mini-Me in the Austin Powers franchise, has passed away. He was 49.

Now why are we reporting on this? Well, it’s an often over looked fact that Verne Troyer also had one small role in tokusatsu. An infamous role that has become an ironically loved character in recent years. Verne Troyer was actually the suit actor for Ferbus, from Saban’s Masked Rider. As such we felt it only appropriate to share the news of his passing with community.

The news of his passing comes way of The Hollywood Reporter. While no immediate cause of death is listed, there are quotes taken from his representatives/family that mention severe and chronic bouts with depression and suicide. Regardless of what has claimed his life, we only hope that all involved parties respect the privacy of those who cared for him and whom he cared for. If you yourself are suffering from depression or suicidal thoughts, please seek help from such sources as the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. The world is better with you in it.

This was unexpected. The popular and more adult-oriented Kamen Rider special series, Kamen Rider Amazons, has now seen an official release in the United States via your Amazon Prime subscription. Titled “Amazon Riders“, the entire first season is available to watch RIGHT NOW with English subtitles. Amazon originally announced plans to bring Kamen Rider Amazons, originally available on Amazon Prime in Japan, to English speaking audiences all the way back in 2016 but failed to give any details on release.

“Vaporize.”

Himuro Gentoku’s presence at the opening of Pandora’s Box changed him, changed his fate. Driven to become someone new, the Deputy Prime Minister would help found Faust. Experimenting on humans to create the Smash, working & clashing with the mysterious Blood Stalk, all the while hiding his other identity. One day Himuro will become Kamen Rider Rogue, but for now the “Bat-Man” is the villain who will menace Kamen Rider Build. This is S.H. Figuarts Night Rogue!

Night Rogue is our 2nd release for Build and of course the first villain for the series so far. While we’ll see this mold make another outing as Blood Stalk, I’m happy to report that in it’s initial outing, it’s really won me over. Despite appearances, Night Rogue is a really dynamic and well executed figure with plenty of detailing and personality. Between the way the upper body can pose, the haunting way the eyes shine through his visor, and his fully functional sidearm the Transteam Rifle, Night Rogue is an absolute winner in my book.

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery to this post, but you can also check out our full review of Night Rogue by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, Hyper Clock Up!

DANGER

Bandai’s next entry into the Kamen Rider Build series of S.H.Figuarts releases, and as you may have guessed from the title and the photos it will be none other than everyone’s favorite croc-faced Kamen Rider: S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Rogue!

Detail’s on this release are currently forthcoming, but we do know that the aforementioned S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Rogue prototype was spotted at the Tamashii Nation’s Akiba Showroom, so a Tamashii Web exclusive release is highly likely. Stay tuned, and we’ll update you as soon as this figure becomes available for pre-order.

“Chihiro, I’m here to kill you.”

Jin Takeyama has become a broken man in the years that have transpired between seasons of Amazons. He’s lost the love of his life, he’s hunted for the son he knows to be a monster, and now he’s blind. A broken man, on a mission to kill all Amazons, Jin won’t let anything including the loss of his sight stop him.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha 2nd Season Version recreates Jin’s broken and battered form for the first time for collectors. A straight repaint of the original Amazon Alpha release, the Season 2 Version markedly de-saturates Alpha’s color scheme overall. It also adds a nice dark paint wash to bring out the details and scars on his suit. A subtle application of Amazons Blood splatter is even applied, while the most obvious difference are the new milky white Blind compound eyes. And while this Alpha includes all of the same accessories that came with the original we also get one brand new part, an Amazons Heart. 

We’ve attached the full 60 image gallery of Season 2 Alpha to this post. You can also read through our complete review in the attached gallery thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back with more galleries ranging from Pacific Rim, Kamen Rider Kabuto, and even Choujuu Sentai Liveman, SOON!
