Looks like the Kamen Rider Drive universe isn’t out of gas just yet!
A new V-Cinema project has been revealed– starring the hero-turned-villain-turned-hero, Kamen Rider Chaser!
This special adventure, titled Kamen Rider Chaser: Break Gunner Special Chapter will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on April 20 2016! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!
Well ahead of it’s release at the upcoming Tamashii Nations 2015 event (Oct 30th-Nov 1st) we have the first official reveal of the at show kamen rider exclusive. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Proto-Drive!
Kamen Rider Proto-Drive is a release long awaited by fans of Kamen Rider Drive and it looks like the wait has been well worth it. Proto-Drive has a gorgeous matte black finish and comes in a very stylish box to set him apart from the other Drive related releases. Making this exclusive feel just a bit snazier. It also looks like Proto-Drive will have the exact same basic accessories as Drive Type Speed as well.
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Proto-Drive will be available exclusively at Tamashii Nations 2015 for 4500 yen!
Circulated earlier today as rumors was a proposed list of event exclusives for the upcoming Tamashii Nations 2015 held October 30th through November 1st. Now thanks to a teaser image posted to the official event site we can now confirm the release of 2 exclusives for this event; S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Proto-Drive and the Burning Flame Effect Part!
Kamen Rider Proto-Drive is a slight retool and repaint of Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed and as such should be just as excellent a figure as that release. Accessories are currently unconfirmed at this time but it’s safe to assume Proto-Drive will include the same basic loadout as Type Speed. Proto-Drive will retail for 4500 yen at the event.
The other release for this event of interest to S.H. Figuarts collectors is the Burning Flame Dark Ver. Tamashii Effect! Perhaps the perfect companion to this years exclusive Proto-Drive (as well as the Shadow Trooper for non-toku fans) the Dark Flame will be made available at the event for 2500 yen.
It’s the beginning of the end for the Talkin Toku Podcast. With only two episodes left before the grand finale episode (32), join Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom for an epic nearly-2-hour-long discussion on all things tokusatsu.
Enjoy exciting new segments like Words of Wisdom from Tom, Jordan Recommends, and This Week in Toku In-Show Music with Chris. Enjoy a brand new sponsor – The Rita – and ask yourself why the hell you decided to download this podcast in the first place.
The meat of the subjects? Bullying in the tokusatsu fandom. We read off your responses on Twitter as well as share our own stories. We also discuss the continued trend of our childhood heroes starting Kickstarters/IndieGoGo’s and our feelings towards all of that.
We discuss what’s new on Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, how amazing Power Rangers Dino Charge continues to be (with a side topic of whether or not it’s amazing because of how bad the previous years have sucked), and our thoughts on Kamen Rider Drive. We also made predictions for episode 47 – find out who was right and who was wrong!
All the details you need are below! Special thanks to our pal Trekkieb47 from the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast for his help in one of our segments.

In celebration of the final upcoming episode of Kamen Rider Drive, we were able to find someone’s encoding of the music video for the very popular (and well done) song “Spinning Wheel”. Make sure you watch all the way to through the end of the video for the full tug on your heart strings, especially if you’ve been keeping up with the show.

The official Tamashii Nations Blog has just posted up some preview images of the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser!
Chaser is up for release in January as a Tamashii Web Exclusive but thanks to this early preview we get a great look at this figure. But more importantly these images confirm how the E-Condition Lamp gimmick on Chaser’s Shingou Ax functions! Though the figure is also shown with a Break Gunner, this accessory is not currently listed on his order page, so it’s more than likely just included for these images.
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser will be out in January for 5940 yen!

After Thursday nights’ reveal, Bandai has just put up official images and release info for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser!
As the initial scans indicated Kamen Rider Chaser is a gorgeous figure with a beautiful metallic finish. For accessories Chaser includes 2 sets of additional hands as well as his Shingou Axe and the green & red light indicators for it. Sadly he does not however include a Break Gunner. Meaning you’ll need to borrow one from a Mashin Chaser figure.
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser will be release as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in January for 5940 yen!
Scans from the latest issue of Figureoh magazine are beginning to surface, and in those scans we have our first look at S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser!
At the moment, we only have this low res scan to work with but we know enough from the image that S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser will be a Tamashi Web Exclusive release shipping sometime in January 2016 with the price tag of 5,940 yen before shipping and middleman fees.
Thus far, the only accessories he’s been show with are his signature Signal Axe weapon and hands to hold them.
And the hits keep on coming! Following up from Kamen Rider Ghost scans from Figure Oh, we have a selection of new Kamen Rider Drive images from August airing episodes! Not only do we see the upcoming Ultimate Evolution of Medic, but also 2 brand new riders!
First up is the new Kamen Rider Gold Drive! As indicated by the scans this rider is actually the consciousness of Banno Tenjuro, the creator of the Roidmudes, given physical form with a spare Drive Driver. The gold coloring of this form would seem to indicate it’s related to the Ultimate Evolution of the Roidmudes, perhaps the 4th of the promised number?
The 2nd new rider revealed today is a Mass Production version of Kamen Rider Mach! In an effort to conitnue the fight against the Roidmudes, the Metro PD has mass produced Mach HonOh Drivers and armor. Rather than a Shift Bike or Car though, this new MP Mach Driver uses a generic version of the Tridoron Key to initiate the transformation!
That’s quite a few curve balls for Drive to be throwing us this late in the game, how it all ends is anyone’s guess from here!
