“Where there is light, Shadows lurk and fear reigns.”
“Yet by the blade of knights, mankind was given hope.”

It’s been a grueling 7 year wait, but it’s finally over. Tamashii Nations has at last delivered on a promise to revitalize the Garo line of S.H. Figuarts. Kicking things off with a brand new take on the iconic Golden Knight, the greatest Makai Knight is reborn as S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Garo!

Garo has been lavishly recreated to the most minute detail for the first time in the franchise’s 13 year history. The Golden Knight is recreated in near perfect 1/12 scale form, replete with chrome golden armor, armed with the mighty Garoken and it’s scabbard, this figure is the perfect starting point for a new Garo collection. With this figure out now, and his ally the Fanged Knight Zero due in November, could this finally be the Renaissance of Garo for S.H. Figuarts? I certainly hope so!

We’ve attached the full 90 image gallery to this post, but you can also read up on our extensive review of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. This figure has been a long time in the making, and we took this opportunity to document as many of it’s details as possible. We hope you enjoy this extensive gallery, we’ll be back soon with more from Kamen Rider Build & Kamen Rider W!

“Demonic Fusion unleashed!”

The monster who tried to destroyed Geed’s universe among so many others, has returned. Ripping new life from his puppet Kei Fukuide, and mastering the Dark Lugiel & Alien Empera Capsules, Belial is reborn. With a new twisted form, born in darkness, strong enough to take on Royal Megamaster, S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Belial Atrocious is here!

Belial Atrocious is the first new Tamashii Nations collector style figure that this character has received in 7 years. Before Ultramam Geed began we took an in depth look at his Belial’s original Ultra-Act release from way back in 2010. Flash forward nearly a year from our gallery, and it’s good to see that dear old dad has indeed gotten a new figure. Monstrously detailed, and armed with the ever menacing Giga Battle Nizer, is this Belial’s return to glory? Read the review to find out!

We’ve attached the full 50 image gallery to this post, but you can check out the full review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post as well. Next time, we’ll be back with our in depth look at the long awaited Shinkocchou Seihou Garo!

“You have no idea who you’re dealing with, do you?”

As the remaining Psycho Rangers continue their reign of terror, the Power Rangers have hatched a plan to beat them. But there’s an unforeseen complication when a previously unknown 6th Psycho Ranger makes his debut on the battlefield! Though he’s here to take the Power Rangers for himself, this Psycho Silver doesn’t seem to be who he claims to be….

Following up from our look at the SDCC Legacy Psycho Green Ranger, today we take a look at the simultaneously released Entertainment Earth Exclusive Legacy Psycho Silver Ranger! Psycho Silver may not be a real Psycho Ranger, but this figure will be a really great addition to your collection. If your like me and Psycho Ranger figures make you weak in the knees, it’s a must have. Armed with his Psycho Silverizer, Zhane is ready to battle it out with the best of the In Space & Psycho Rangers.

We’ve got a full 70+ image gallery ready to go for you today along with a complete review. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our full thread. Next time, Garo, Ultraman, and more Power Rangers!

“Dragon in Cross-Z Charge!”

Having finally discovered his reason to fight, Ryuga Banjou took on the most dangerous driver to face the Hokuto Three. Using the Sclash Driver Banjou’s already tremendous strength overflowed from his new rampaging form. Fueled by the Dragon Sclash Jelly, Banjou’s power finally runs wild in our gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z Charge! 

Following up from our gallery of the standard Kamen Rider Cross-Z last month, Cross-Z Charge is an entirely new mold. Decked out in a really gorgeous silver paint scheme, this figure is also adorned by some frankly perfect translucent blue plastic. An already excellent looking figure in hand, Cross-Z Charge also includes his Twin Breaker weapon, capable of changing from Beam to Attack Mode very easily. The re-packed Cross-Z Dragon and Dragon Full Bottle as well as a removable Sclash Jelly, all of which can interact with the Twin Breaker, also make this a really fantastic release.

Check out the complete 65 image gallery of Cross-Z Charge after the jump by clicking “Discss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’re bringing another SDCC 2018 Exclusive gallery your way next!

“Build Change!”

Kamen Rider Build is swiftly approaching it’s conclusion. After next week’s break we only have 2 episodes left to go. So it’s time to take a look at something that hasn’t made an appearance on the show for quite a while. The S.H. Figuarts Machine Builder is not only Sento’s Rider Machine but also his personal cell phone!

While we’ve certainly seen the Machine Builder capable of assuming both modes in DX toy form, the best way to get both out of this vehicle is in fact, to split them up. The Figuart opts for being a full bike for Kamen Rider Build to ride, while including it’s Build Phone mode as an entirely separate accessory. Which speaking of accessories, this set also includes a number of additional hands as well as Build Rabbit/Tank Form’s signature weapon, the Drill Crusher, in both of it’s modes. There’s a lot to love about this release if you’re looking for the complete setup for Rabbit/Tank.

You can check out the full 40 image gallery of this set by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’re back with the first of a trio of SDCC 2018 Exclusive galleries!

“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!

“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!

“Long live Shocker!”

After the defeat of the great Doctor Shinigami, the Shocker Army needed a new general to command it’s forces in Japan. To destroy the Kamen Riders, a member of their American west coast organization was recruited. The deadly and dangerous, Ambassador Hell! Capable of assuming a Kaijin form as Gargaranda, the Ambassador is a force of pure evil in his humanoid form as well. Utilizing his trademark whip to bind his enemies and rally his forces, S.H. Figuarts Ambassador Hell is here to build a new Shocker Army all his own!

Ambassador Hell joins the line at a time when the original Showa Kamen Rider series is getting more releases than it ever has. Expanding to villains has been something that S.H. Figuarts has always struggled with thanks to lower than average sales numbers. But the iconic greats like this can go a long way to reviving them in toy form. Joining the ranks of the various Shocker Combatmen on or coming to market this year, Ambassador Hell is a wonderfully interesting figure, though with a few faults. He’s sure to menace your Seihou Rider 1 & Rider 2 quite well though.

We’ve attached the full 50+ image gallery to this post, but you can also read our full review of S.H. Figuarts Ambassador Hell after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll see you soon again for another action packed gallery!

“Fang! Joker!”

The incident known as Begins Night heralded the birth of Kamen Rider W’s first and most ferocious form. One so powerful that, for a time, Phillip & Shotaro purposefully avoided using it or they’d risk losing control entirely. Eventually mastered, this form was a force to be reckoned. And now, after nearly a decade stuck with the original figuarts release, Bandai has recreated this powerhouse form in S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Fang Joker! 

Fang Joker is yet another excellent release for the Kamen Rider W line. Another reuse of the excellent Seihou body type first introduced with W Cyclone Joker, Fang Joker is also another brilliant addition to your collection. Adding a little more ferocity to the base W body, Fang Joker also includes a plethora of hands as well as all 3 versions of the Saber he’s equipped with (Arm, Shoulder, & Maximum). If you’ve had any experience with Seihou releases for this series already, you know you’re in for a treat with this one.

“I already have the future in my hand.”

Transformed by the Hyper Zecter, armed with the Perfect Zecter, Souji Tendou walks the path of heaven once more in our gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kabuto Hyper Form!

Kabuto Hyper Form is just the latest in a long succession of Figuarts releases from Kamen Rider Kabuto that date back to the earliest days of the line. With Shinkocchou Seihou releases for this series in full swing it was only a matter of time before Kabuto’s most powerful form debuted. A detailed recreation of the Hyper Form suit, gimmicks and all, this figuart succeeds in being better in every aspect than the ancient original release. Featuring a Hyper Clock Up mode, some much improved wings of light, as well as a fully functional Perfect Zecter, it really can’t get better than this.

You can view our full gallery of 100 images and read through our review of Kabuto Hyper Form by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we return to Kamen Rider W with the berserker form Shinkocchou Seihou Fang Joker!
