“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!

The next Kamen Rider for the highly popular Shinkocchou Sehou branch of SH Figuarts has been confirmed!
Fan favorite Kamen Rider Den-O takes the next Seihou slot, with his unique Plat Form configuration. This is Kamen Rider Den-O’s most basic state, fighting without aid from the Imagin creatures that normally give Den-O his powers.
And speaking of which, it seems another Den-O character is getting a Seihou release spot- the reveal stream that confirmed Plat Form also has an early look at a Shinkocchou Seihou based on everyones’ favorite climaxing swordsman- the Imagin Momotaros!
SH Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Den-O Plat Form is currently scheduled for release in September 2020. The price is a modest 5500 Yen before shipping and handling.
Rejoice!
Familiar faces will be making an appearance in Kamen Rider Zero-One’s Progrise Key line with various Kamen Riders of the Heisei Era having just been revealed and are expecting to come out in early 2020:
The following Keys will be released as DXs:
The annual Tamashii Nations event is under way and as ever, there are a plethora of new items on display. Just as with every Tamashii event, an item being displayed does not necessarily indicate that it will be released however. A number of new items are currently listed as “Display Only” as well.
That being said, this year’s event has certainly provided a number of figures of interest:
Shinkocchou Seihou S.H. Figuarts:
– Den-O Sword Form
– Kuuga Growing, Dragon, Pegasus & Titan Forms
– OOO TaJaDor, SaGoZho, LaToraTah & ShaUTa Combos
– Dark Kiva
– OOO Ridevendor
Kamen Rider S.H. Figuarts:
Grand Zi-O
Build Genius Form
Ex-Aid Muteki
Ghost Mugen Damashii
Metal Build
Cross-Z Evol
Jin
Horobi
Vulcan Shooting Wolf
Valkyrie Rushing Cheetah
Rise Hopper
Ultraman S.H. Figuarts:
Ace
Joneus
Titus
Tregear
Grigio
Ultra Dark Killer
Tamashii Lab:
Ankh
That is a hefty grouping of new reveala. Once again, we know that not everything here will make it to production for some time, if at all. But it’s always pleasing to see just how much Tamashii pumps out for these events. As more new reveals, images, and information from the event surface we will update this story and the related thread.
“WAKE UP!”
Shy, anxious, fearful, Wataru Kurenai would rather craft violins like his father Otoya. But as the son of the Fangire Queen as well, he was destined to become Kamen Rider Kiva, the Fangire King! And like the King’s before him Wataru has one trusted partner, a member of the Kivat family, Kivat Bat III. With Kivat in tow, Wataru sets out to fight Fangires and protect humanity, just as his father did (occasionally) 20 years prior. Now it’s time to break the chains on a review we’ve waited years for with S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva!
As the Heisei Era ends, Tamashii Nations has at long last delivered on the promise of completing the 20 Heisei Riders! With Kamen Rider Kiva, the entire lineup of main riders is complete, and let me say, it’s incredibly satisfying. Kiva brings to a close an era of incredible heroes and does so in gorgeous fashion. With the trademark accuracy and engineering of the Seihou line, Kiva looks as though he walked right off the set. Including his 6 Fuestles, the Hell’s Gate leg for his Rider Kick, a Ridewatch Tamashii Stage, and the ever present Kivat Bat III, Kiva is a tremendously welcome sight to any Kamen Rider collection.
You can check out our full 100 image gallery below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums at the bottom of this post. It features not only the 20 Heisei Riders, but also as many Kiva cameos as I could make happen including TV riders Ixa, Rising Ixa, Emperor Kiva, & Dark Kiva, movie villains Kamen Riders Rey and Arc, & even Decade’s own Kiva-La! Please join in the discussion and let us know what you think of this release which finally closes out the Heisei Era. Next time, it’s Armor Time with a brand new gallery from Kamen Rider Zi-O!
“I think I was destined to choose this path.”
Little did Sougo Tokiwa know, his childhood dreams of being a great king were prophetic in a way. Should they ever come to pass, they could create the desolate future ruled by Sougo’s own evil self, the overlord Oma Zi-O! In the present, Sougo journey’s down the path of the overlord, defeating Another Riders as Kamen Rider Zi-O! But with the Day of Oma approaching, will Zi-O become the evil overlord? Or will Kamen Rider Geiz, the Time Jackers, Kamen Rider Woz, or even Kamen Rider Decade, manage to contain his power? Time, will tell…
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O kicks off this year’s new Figuarts sub-line as a pretty solid release. While assuredly many will take issue with this figure’s lack of accessories (which are included with the Ride Striker) this figure has a lot to offer and lots of personality. Zi-O is a well rounded, well articulated figure that fits in fantastically with mainline figuarts as well Shinkocchou Seihou releases. Though Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva still hasn’t been released, seeing Zi-O with his fellow lead riders is still quite the sight. And if you happen to have a DX Time Mazine as I do, you’ll find that Figuarts Zi-O works quite well with him. Zi-O also compliments Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade marvelously.
We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery to this post, but you can also check out the full review of Kamen Rider Zi-O by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, things heat up, with our gallery of Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Heat/Metal!
The last cinematic Kamen Rider project of the Heisei Era– Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER hits theaters this weekend and the good people at Toei have apparently decided to end things with a bang!
Two Heisei-Rider veterans have made their long-awaited return in this special crossover:
*Takeru Satoh who previously played the titular hero of Ryotaro Nogami/Kamen Rider Den-O has returned! This is Satoh’s first role in tokusatsu since leaving the role of Den-O in 2008, and many fans thought his reprisal would be unlikely due to the actors’ busy schedule.
*Not to be outdone, actor Toshiki Kashu (who portrayed /Shouichi Tsugami/Kamen Rider Agito) also announced his participation in Heisei Generations Forever! This tidbit was revealed via an image on the actors’ Instagram featuring a recording booth- causing some to speculate this particular return may be voice only.
Feel free to join in our Heisei Generations Forever Discussion Thread to share your thoughts about these remarkable returns!
