“Fire All Core. Drive, Type Miracle!”

In an attempt to revive his fallen friend, Gou Shijima managed to do the impossible& revive one of the most powerful Roidmudes ever, Heart! Simultaneously Gou managed to merge the Cores of Medic & Brain into Heart’s new body. Uniting their hearts and Cores together these 3 Roidmudes became the Kamen Rider to surpass even Drive. Debuting in the Heart/Mach v-Cinema, and finally available in figure form, it’s S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Heart Type Miracle!

Kamen Rider Heart as you’ll undoubtedly notice, is heavily based on Drive’s own Type Tridoron form. Much like the suit in the movie, this figure reuses a majority of Tridoron’s parts. But the new components incorporated into the body are derived from Heart’s original Roidmude form. It’s an odd fusion, but one that somehow works very well. While this is a pretty sparse release, Heart Type Miracle still has plenty of charm to it. Now if we could just get the mismatched Type Speed/Wild/Technic from Bandai, then all of Hearts’ forms would be represented in this line.

“You truly are the best opponent I could have asked for!”

The first of the Promised Number arrives in the S.H. Figuarts line up! An extensive and elaborate repaint of the original Heart Roidmude, this figure represents the charismatic villains ultimate evolution. This is S.H. Figuarts Over Evolved Heart Roidmude!

As mentioned above this figure is nothing more than a repaint of the original Heart Roidmude. So that does mean that the physical & functional shortcomings of this mold will still persist as they always have. However the glorious golden paint scheme, the dark paint wash, and bright purple used on Over Evolved Heart bring out all of it’s best details & personality. This figure may still be limited, but Heart has never looked better than he does here. He does however still have a very limited selection of accessories, just the same 3 sets of hands that came with the first release. Here’s hoping that eventually the Brain Roidmude prototype that was shown off a while back will be able to join Heart one day.

A pair of new Tamashi Web Exclusive releases have just gone live on the Tamashii Web Shop!

From Kamen Rider Drive we have S.I.C. Heart Roidmude. A companion piece tot he recently released S.I.C. Drive and the upcoming Mashin Chaser. This version of Heart is more directly inspired by Takayuki Takeya’s original design for the character, as  indicated by the heart ventrical wings on his back. Heart will be released in October as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 8856 yen.

Next up is an odd one. The S.H. Figuarts Helldiver is a companion piece for Kamen Rider ZX. A figuart released way back in 2013, numerous ZX’s had serious QC issues, not limited to but including poor paint applications, loose part fits, etc. It’s surprising to see his bike released nearly 4 years later, and unlike other recent Showa releases, there is currently no two-pack with a slightly altered ZX offered. For now, the Helldiver will also be released in October, for 5400 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive.

Get with your preferred middleman or service to secure orders for these releases soon!

Kamen Rider Drive continues it’s steady pace of new releases with yet another new announcement! Seen previously at Tamashii Nations 2016 in October, we now have official release details for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Heart Type Miracle!

Kamen Rider Heart, the special form Heart assumes in the V-Cinema bearing his name, is itself a reuse of the Drive Type Tridoron suit. And like the suit itself, this figure is an intricate repaint & remold of Type Tridoron. Though much like the original SHF Heart Roidmude release, it’s pretty lacking on the accessories. On 2.5 sets of hands and the Heartron Shift Car are included with this release.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Heart Type Miracle will be released in June for for 6264 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Be sure to contact your favorite middleman site or service in the near future to secure an order for this upcoming release!

This has been one great show this year! However the absence of Super Sentai figuarts & the smaller presence of Metal Heroes & other offbeat toku heroes is noticeable. So we’d like to know what are your thoughts on the showing from Bandai and Tamashii Nations this year? Sound off in our ongoing discussion of all the reveals from this show by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

Another special reveal comes in the forms of S.I.C. Heart Roidmude! Joining the likes of the recently revealed S.I.C. Drive and the core 4 Gaim Riders, Heart is an incredible looking figure. And a unique one too! The man behind the monsters of Drive, the designer of the Roidmudes was Takeyuki Takeya, whom if you haven’t realized it by now has been the man behind the entire S.I.C. toyline for well over a decade!

A renowned sculptor Mr. Takeya has crafted some truly gorgeous and detailed figures over the years. His Roidmude designs have begged to be done up as S.I.C.s since their first on screen appearance and now he’s gotten his chace with S.I.C. Heart! This figure takes the design form the show and pushes it a step further, or rather a step backward, more in line with the original line-art but with some new flares to the design improvised by Takeya.

We don’t have release details for S.I.C. Heart Roidmude yet, like many figures at this years’ Tamashii Nations show. But this one is a bit of special case we felt needed to be spotlighted. Well done Mr. Takeya, well done.

“We learn from humans! How to evolve beyond you, all so we can one day rule over you!” It’s time to unleash the true Dead Zone with the power of S.H. Figuarts Heart Roidmude from Kamen Rider Drive!

Heart is a whole new beast of a figure for this line. A recent Tamashii Web Exclusive & the 1st and so far only Roidmude release, Heart is a gorgeously sculpted & detailed miniaturization of series designer Takeyuki Takeya’s full size suit. If you love incredible organic detailing then this might be the figure for you. However this figure is not without faults, as we’ve detailed in the full review.

We’ve assembled over 50 images of S.H. Figaurts Heart Roidmude for your viewing pleasure, though only a selection are attached to this post. To see the rest as well as a full review of the figure please click “discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post! Next time we’ll be back with S.H. Figuarts Tridoron!
