A mysterious new teaser image hidden in this months’ magazine scans appears to hint at a return for the detective duo Kamen Rider W!

Originally airing from 2009-2010, Kamen Rider W has long been considered a beloved series among Rider fans. W’s head actor Renn Kiriyama has campaigned several times for a V-Cinema revival but until now seemed to have no success.

Sadly, no details about this new Kamen Rider W project are available at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further Kamen Rider developments!

Hidden within this months’ magazine scans are a handful of teaser images for the next Kamen Rider series- Kamen Rider Build!

While the main suit sadly remains hidden in silhouette, we can make out a few details for this new Rider-

*Build’s Driver (still unnamed at time of writing) has a large hand crank on one side, which seems to support the construction equipment theme heavily rumored for this series.

*The Build helmet appears to have mismatched antennae; matching a recent rumor about assembling suits differently using alternative powerups.

“Fight with me, my greatest buddy!”

It’s time to search & destroy all at mach speed one more time! Kamen Rider Drive continues to be a merchandising juggernaut with new releases churned out from Bandai every quarter. Even now, nearly 3 years after the series finale. This go around we’re looking at the first new S.H. Figuart released from the series second V-Cinema, Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Mach/Kamen Rider Heart. Once again Bandai has managed to fashion a new form out of pre-existing molds to create S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Mach Chaser!

Not to be confused with last years’ Kamen Rider Chaser Mach, Mach Chaser is Gou’s final form. Accessed through a new Shift Ride Crosser (which is present in the Mach Driver), Mach Chaser is a new spin on what made Chaser Mach so great. This time the cohesion between the mishmash of Mach & Chaser parts is even greater though thanks to a solid new color scheme. As always Gou has his trusty Zenrin Shooter at his side, and this time he has the addition of a brand new zenrin effect part for curved slashes! If you loved Chaser Mach then there’s lots to love for you here with Mach Chaser as well. Drive as a franchise has been built on smart repaints and reuses of pre-existing designs, this is yet another wonderful execution of that ideology. And just a heads up, Mach Chaser does not come with a Signal Ax, the ones in these shots came from my Kamen Rider Chaser.

Earlier today we had confirmation of this release and mere moments later official images began to circulate. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Special is officially on the way and looking great.

Type Special reuses much of the new parts created for the Dark Drive figuart that’s releasing in August. But we do see a new shift car, tire, head and chest to set this release apart. Unsurprisingly, Type Special does not come with the Signal Axe or Handle Sword in these photos. Those are only here to demonstrate that the figure can use them. 4 sets of hands and 4 Shift Cars round out the entire package of accessories sadly.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Special will be release in November as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 6264 yen. Get in touch with your preferred middleman or service now to reserve yours!

We’ve seen both on display recently at the Tamashii Nations Akiba showroom as well as the Tamashii Nations World Tour. Now both of these new figures are slated for actual release! Thanks to a handful of new magazine scans we can confirm both.

S.H. Figuarts kamen Rider Drive Type Special, Drives unique movie from from Surprise Future, is set for release in November. Type Special will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive and retail for 6264 yen.

S.H. Figuarts Dada or as he was originally known Agent #271, is an infamously weird villain from the original Ultraman TV series. While not as prolific as Baltan this Kaiju is definitely looking good as Bandai continues their productive line of Kaiju figuarts. Dada will be released in November for 7344 yen.

“Crush the Invader!”

It’s been some time since we’ve stepped back into the world of the dead, so it’s time to pay another visit to Kamen Rider Ghost. I’ve made my thoughts on this line known previously, so I was very hesitant to return to it again. But I’m giving it just one more go with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Necrom!

Necrom completes the trio of riders from the series, so in at least that regard he’s satisfying. But many of the design flaws which plagued the first several releases of this line are still present. Shoulder designs, wrist cuffs, an obtrusive overcoat. That being said, Necrom does look rather good and I do so love seeing full groups of riders together. Though there is a severe lack of accessories with this figure. You can see it all in my full review linked below.

Following up from yesterday’s trademark announcement, we now have a VERY early look at the 19th Heisei-Era Kamen Rider series- Kamen Rider Build!

Seen in silhouette on this catalog cover, Kamen Rider Build’s design features a heavy gear emblem on the chest- which may support the current rumor of a Construction-themed series.

We also have an apparent glimpse of the collectable gimmick for this series: a set of bottle-shaped devices tentatively referred to as Kamen Rider Capsules. However, exact details are unconfirmed at time of writing.

These newly-revealed Kamen Rider Build toys will be available beginning August 2017! Be sure to stop by our Ongoing Kamen Rider Build Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears about this upcoming series!
