“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.

“Wake Up! Cross-Z Dragon!”

Ryuga Banjou has been through the ringer the last few years. A former boxer, Banjou has been framed for murder, lost the love of his life, become a Kamen Rider, and then there’s that stretch with the evil alien trying to take destroy the world. Today’s gallery takes us back to Banjou’s beginnings, when he was still learning what it meant to be a hero. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z is here!

Cross-Z is Banjou’s first outing in the Figuarts toyline with his 2nd form, Cross-Z Charge, releasing this week as well. Cross-Z though, is a really great repaint & remold of the basic Build Rabbit/Tank Form with a few dynamic changes that go a long way to selling it as a brawler form. While there are admittedly some minor issues with articulation, the figure looks wonderful in hand and the included Beat Crosser is the perfect accessory for it.

We’ve attached the full 55+ image gallery to this post but you can also check out our full review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’ll be back for another Kamen Rider Build gallery with S.H. Figuarts Machine Builder!

For years upon years, the S.H. Figuarts line of figures from Bandai Japan have been considered the ultimate visual form of our favorite spandex-clad superheroes from Japan. Featuring heavy articulation, show-accurate paint and details, as well as a variety of weapons and accessories, you really cannot beat a S.H. Figuart in terms of feeling you have a “complete” figure. Then something called “Rider Kick Figures“, or RKF, emerged recently.

Bandai Japan would like to appeal to those who cannot always afford a solid $50 for a figure.

Releasing in September is the brand new action figure line “Rider Kick Figures” which literally, and I quote, has the catchphrase “It’s cheap and it moves!”. Consider our interests piqued. The first figure to release will be Kamen Rider Build in his Rabbit/Tank form. Following his release will be Kamen Rider Cross-Z and Kamen Rider Grease (shown in pictures attached to the article), and announced or teased figures include Kamen Rider Zi-O, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Kamen Rider Evolt, and Kamen Rider Build Dragon/Rabbit form.

For those of you who want to collect figures but cannot afford the price of S.H. Figuarts, or are simply annoyed at the constant influx of Premium Bandai releases, the Rider Kick Figures may be for you. Check out all the in-hand images by clicking the title of the story.

As we approach the premiere of Kamen Rider Zi-O in September, we’re continuing to see more and more images of the toyline for the upcoming show. Today brings us a look at this year’s main “gimmick” line with the first wave of RKF (Rider Kicks Figures). 

RKF looks to be a general action figure line rather than one truly driven by a gimmick as in years past. The line is composed of characters from across the Heisei Era and will also be featuring power up armors for Kamen Rider’s Zi-O & Gates. The first wave of releases is dominated by Kamen RIder Build characters including; Build (Rabbit/Tank), Cross-Z, Grease, Evol (Cobra), and the Be The One film exclusive form Cross-Z Build (Rabbit/Dragon).

Cross-Z is listed with a 2160 yen price point and October release date, while Evol & Cross-Z Build each bare a 2700 yen price point with November release dates. The first wave of 6 RKF figures are all up for pre-order at HLJ currently. These pre-orders include Ex-Aid Level 2 who isn’t shown in these initial scans. We’ll be sure to keep you informed as more information about this toyline becomes available.

Well, it’s been quite the week for Banjou hasn’t it? Revealed via magazine scans and episode preview just last week, then making it’s debut in this past Saturday’s episode, then having images of a figuart prototype shown off, Cross-Z’s new base form has had a QUICK turnaround.

Now, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Great Cross-Z has been confirmed for release! Thanks as always to @_Erasu for digging these images up from the depths of the Tamashii Nations site. These official images, the banner in particular, now confirm that the Cross-Z repaint will indeed see release. The logo emblazoned on the banner also confirms that it will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive. While we don’t have an exact release window or price yet, the listing itself should be live relatively soon. When that happens, we’ll be sure to let you know!

The Kamen Rider Build series is currently blasting out exciting episode one after another and in the latest episode we saw yet another power up form for Kamen Rider Cross-Z – this one being the Great Cross-Z and Dragon Evol Bottle combination turning Ryuga Banjo in to Kamen Rider Great Cross-Z! And in honor of the debut of the new form, Premium Bandai has put up an order page for the DX Great Cross-Z Dragon and Dragon Evol Bottle!

This set will release in October 2018 for 3,024 yen. Contact your middle man today to get yourself this power up. Important note – the DX Great Cross-Z Dragon and Dragon Evol Bottle have some relevance to the upcoming Kamen Rider Build movie, as a new Rider is teased in the preview images for this set!
