S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Den-O Sword & Gun Form Gallery
“You know better than to think we’d forget about you,
Ryotaro.”
Ryotaro Nogami has terrible luck. He’s clumsy, gullible, frightful, and one of the best people you could ever know. Kind & strong, though not particularly brave, Ryotaro carries in him all the qualities that can make a hero. Including a revolving door of monsters possessing his body! On his own Ryotaro may seem weak, but when he’s partnered with the ‘Taros he’s unstoppable, as Kamen Rider Den-O! With the fiery peach oni Momotaros, Den-O Sword Form is born! But when possessed by the deadly dancing dragon Ryutaros, Den-O Gun Form arrives! Travelling the train of time, righting wrongs of the past, from start to finish this rider is always at a climax!
I have waited years for this day. Since the Shinkocchou Seihou line began I’ve hope for Den-O to receive this premium re-design treatment, and at long last that patience has paid off. This stunning release packs a one-two punch of not only Den-O Sword Form, but parts to form change him to Den-O Gun Form as well. It’s such a lovely way to recreate my favorite Kamen Rider that I purchased an extra to display both forms together. Equipped with the parts for both of these forms, Seihou Den-O also includes the respective forms of the Dengasher, a whopping 7 pairs of hands, and two forms of the Den-Liner pass!! in the personal opinion of this massive Den-O fan, this is Bandai & Tamashii Nations’ figure of the year. Hands down.
We’ve assembled a massive 120 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Den-O. You can read through our entire review as well as check out the full gallery (with more than a few surprise guests!) after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. In a few days we return to the world of The Coinless with a brand new gallery of the Lightning Collection Ranger Slayer!
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Vulcan Shooting Wolf Gallery
“The elevation increases as the bullet is fired.”
For as long as Fuwa Isamu could remember, his past was ruined by the berserk Humagears of Daybreak Town. Holding a grudge against them all because of this, Fuwa dedicated himself to their total destruction as a member of A.I.M.S. However, this was all a plot by president Gai Amatsu of ZAIA, to drive Fuwa to hate Humagears even more as he became a Kamen Rider. But with the knowledge of his true past revealed, and both he and Naki free of ZAIA’s control, Fuwa is ready to continue fighting free of the anger that drove him. Instead Fuwa will help defend Humagears with Aruto Hiden & Izu. He will realize his own dream, to truly be Kamen Rider Vulcan!
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Vulcan is the second release in the Zero-One subline and so far these releases are shaping up very very nicely. Like Zero-One, Vulcan is an articulation dream, capable of striking poses in natural and appropriately exaggerated fashion. While he doesn’t have the same kind of fun black light gimmick as Aruto, Fuwa makes up for that with a wealth of accessories. Like his waist mounted (and functional!) Shot Riser, the 4 sets of hands, his own Attache Shotgun, and the Attache Calibur for Zero-One! This is an incredibly well rounded release.
We’ve assembled 50+ images for our gallery of S.H Figuarts Kamen Rider Vulcan Shooting Wolf and you can see them all in the full gallery thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we’ll be back with a brand new gallery from the world of the Makai Knights & Garo with Dark Knight Kiba!
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form Gallery
“The steel blue warrior! Tank Tank!”
In his berserker Hazard Form, Sento Kiryu can gain the upper hand in any fight. To contain this uncontrollable power, Sento develops a new Full Bottle to channel his strength and his consciousness. With the Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle, two new divergent forms are born! One with all the speed and agility of a rabbit, the crimson speedy jumper Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Rabbit Form! The other, bearing the firepower of it’s own military force and the strength to wield it, the steel blue warrior, Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form! Representing his home Seito in the 3-round battle, Build tests his new powers against the dangerous Kamen Rider Rogue….
Joining an ever growing family of riders, villains, and alternate forms, Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form will fight for love and peace as the beefy power house of your Build collection. A retool of the fantastic Rabbit Rabbit Form, Tank Tank utilizes what has been an excellent base figuart mold throughout the series, but also adds some extra flavor to the mix with the inclusion of the massive Full Full Match Break Tank Mode parts! Armed with these and the Full Bottle Buster, Tank Tank Form is a must own for any Kamen Rider Build fan.
We’ve assembled 60+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form for your viewing pleasure. To see them all as well as read through our full review of this release, just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back later this week with another authorized gallery from Kamen Rider Zero-One with the shooting wolf himself, Vulcan!
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Rising Hopper Gallery
“There’s only one thing that can stop you, and that’s me!”
In a world where the life of the average human has been made easier by robotic helpers called Humagears, Hiden Intelligence is at the forefront of technological advancement. But with the passing of their founder, Korenosuke Hiden, the duties & responsibilities of president have passed on to his grandson, Aruto. Authorized to use the Progrise Keys & Zero-One Driver, this young man will fight to build a world where Humans & Humagers can coexist and smile together, as Kamen Rider Zero-One!
The Reiwa Era has begun with the first fantastic release from Kamen Rider Zero-One! I must say that Rising Hopper is an excellent design that’s translated to figure form rather perfectly. Exuding personality and functionality, Zero-One really has knocked it out of the park with it’s first release. While this figure isn’t armed with much aside from additional hands (his weapons comes with Vulcan) it’s undeniable how stylish and realistic this figure looks in person. And of course there’s that added bonus of black light reactive parts to drool over!
We’ve assembled 60+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Rising Hopper for your viewing pleasure. You can view the entire gallery and read through our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we have the formula for another great gallery with Build Tank Tank Form!
Power Rangers Lightning Collection Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger Gallery
“We’re the Power Rangers!”
When 5 teenagers with attitude were chosen to defend the Earth, each of them was given access to a universe of power. Transported to the Command Center, and introduced to the quirky robot Alpha 5 & the inter-dimensional being Zordon of Eltar, these young heroes were bestowed with the strength of the ancient dinosaurs. Fearless and agile, Trini Kwan was honored with the powers of the mighty Saber-Toothed Tiger Dino Zord! Power Daggers in hand, Trini joined her teammates as they battled the likes of Goldar, Scorpina, and the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa!
Hasbro continues checking off the list of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with another Lightning Collection release! The Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger joins a slew of her teammates in various forms rounding out Wave 4 of the series as well. Joining the likes of Zeo Ranger III Blue, the Cyber Villain Blaze, & the SPD Red Ranger. So how does Trini Kwan stack up to the rest of the original team? Well she includes the now standard unmasked head, doubles up on effect parts, has both her Power Daggers, and a Blade Blaster! Read on, to our full thread for an in-depth review of this figure.

Now that Wave 4 is out of the way and we’re still on the hunt for Wave 5, we’re taking a turn back into Kamen Rider with a run of galleries from Build, Zi-O, & Zero-One!
Power Rangers Lightning Collection Zeo Ranger III Blue Gallery
“Zeo Ranger Three – Blue!”
Rocky DeSantos was a Power Ranger. And not just any ranger, but the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger! Inheriting a legacy of power from Jason Lee Scott, Rocky helped defend Angel Grove and the world from the likes of Lord Zedd & Rita Repulsa. But as the Machine Empire descended toward Earth, the Command Center lay in ruins. And the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, were destroyed. But unknown to our heroes, Alpha 5 & Zordon have spent years preparing for this time. A day when the Power Rangers as we know them, are gone forever, and a new fighting force must take their place. The Power Rangers Zeo! Imbued with the energy of the Blue Zeo Crystal, Rocky once again heeds the call to defend Earth, but this time as Zeo Ranger III, BLUE!
The Blue Zeo Ranger is the 2nd Power Rangers Zeo entry in Hasbro’s Lightning Collection lineup, soon to be following by a second outing of the Gold Ranger as Trey of Triforia. Rocky utilizes the same base mold as the Gold Ranger save for some accent changes. A solidly built figure, the Blue Ranger release also includes the Zeo Laser Pistol, the Zeo Power Pod Sword, an effect part for it, 2 extra hands, and an unmasked Rocky head. All in all a pretty great release, though it does have a few design caveats to dive into.

We’ll be back shortly with a Mighty Morphin gallery of the Lightning Collection Yellow Ranger as well!
Power Rangers Lightning Collection Beast Morphers Cyber Villain Blaze Gallery
“Hey rookies, meet my new friends.”
Blaze was meant to be a hero, a Power Ranger! Trained by Grid Battleforce with his teammates Roxy & Ravi, Blaze was chosen to become the Red Ranger. But on the day the team should have formed, fate and Evox, intervened. Taking the essence of Blaze and his abilities, Evox has created an Avatar of the would be hero, a new Cyber Villain general to lead his armies of Tronics & Robotrons! Now what began as a simple grudge between the original Blaze & Devon Daniels has morphed into something else entirely, as the would be ranger turned avatar battles the man who’s taken his place, the new Red Ranger……
Blaze joins the ever growing Power Rangers Lightning Collection as one of a handful of evil rangers in the line. An excellent addition, Blaze brings with him an intricately detailed sculpt with all the articulation hallmarks we’ve come to expect from this line, as well as a ton of accessories. Blaze is armed with extra hands, both his sword & an effect part for it and even the Robotron-Maker briefcase/laptop, but also includes an alternate unmasked head featuring a brilliant likeness of Blaze actor Colby Strong! As far as villains go, Blaze may be the best one in the line yet.
Check out our full 60+ image gallery of Lightning Collection Blaze after the jump!

Next time we’re stronger than before with another Lightning Collection gallery from Power Rangers Zeo!
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms Gallery
“This ends today!”
It’s been 8 years since the events with the Inves, since Kouta Kazuraba left Earth. Now, Takatora Kureshima finds himself in the war torn Torkia Republic, the old testing ground for the Yggdrasill Corporation’s Project Ark. The populace lives largely underground amidst secret deadly battles that gangs of young men are forced to engage in, using the powers of Kamen Riders! As these proto-riders battle, and Takatora struggles to regain his memories, scheming characters from his past have their own goals. Has Takatora truly changed? Can he escape his past? Will the true Kamen Rider Zangetsu take the stage once more?
Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms is a brilliant release from Tamashii Nations. Taking the now 6 year old Gaim Kachidoki Arms mold and giving it a fresh color pallet and some new parts, Tamashii has managed to create a fitting final form for the elder Kureshima brother. Armed with the Kachidoki Flags & DJ Gun Taiken Mode, this figure will be a commanding presence in any collection. And if you happen to have the other Zangetsu releases on hand, you’ll see just how perfectly this form fits in with the family.
We’ve assembled a full 50+ image gallery for your viewing pleasure after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the complete gallery thread. Next time, we head back to the Morphin’ Grid with a new gallery of Lightning Collection Blaze!
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Geiz Revive (True Savior Set) Gallery
“You can see the future… But I can go beyond it.”
The Day of Ohma. The day when Zi-O would assume all his powers and rule the world, in one future. In another, Sougo Tokiwa gave up his Ziku Driver and another Kamen Rider, Geiz, would rise up to save the world. In a world where time has seemingly stopped, the True Savior was born. Now, as prophesied by White Woz, the Geiz of the present is headed towards a fateful battle with Zi-O. With the powers of the future in hand, Myokoin Geiz becomes Kamen Rider Geiz Revive!
Goretsu! Shippu! Continuing a recent trend from Tamashii Nations, the True Savior Set for Geiz Revive comes equipped with the parts necessary to recreate either of his powerful forms. By default we have Goretsu, the bulky power based form armed with the Zican Jaclaw in it’s saw form. A beast of a form with all the bulk to back up it’s blows. With some pretty easy parts swapping though you can assemble the stunning blue Shippu form. This speed based flight capable form is armed with a new form for the Jaclaw as well and it’s, a claw! Both forms have their merits but I’m happy to report that either is actually very well thought out and designed. Thankfully Tamashii is getting better and better at form swapping with S.H. Figuarts.
