Your chance at grabbing some of your favorite Heisei era Kamen Rider S.H. Figuarts is coming your way to start off 2024!  Tamashii Nations has announced Kamen Rider S.H. Figuarts Heisei Generations Edition – a re-release of some classic Kamen Rider S.H. Figuarts – available as a mainline retail release.  These are NOT brand new molds but rather the original molds simply re-issued.  There is one difference – these S.H. Figuarts come with all their classic weapons!  For those who recall, Tamashii Nations started releasing key accessories for the main Rider’s form in various other releases (example – to get the sword for Kamen Rider Drive you had to purchase a secondary form).

The characters releasing are:

  • Kamen Rider Drive
  • Kamen Rider Ghost
  • Kamen Rider Ex-Aid
  • Kamen Rider Build
  • Kamen Rider Zi-o

These Kamen Rider S.H. Figuarts Heisei Generations Edition figures will release in January 2024 in Japan (no US release) for 7,700 yen.

Fans of the Kamen Rider Drive series will tell you that all you need is Drive.  And now you have a chance to grab him in his ultimate form!

Tamashii Nations is re-releasing (based on fan vote in Japan) certain S.H. Figuarts of their various properties.  One such figure that won the vote is the (rather expensive in the after-market) final form of Kamen Rider Drive – Type Tridoron – along with the Kakimazerl Set that adds extra accessories.  Included in this 15h anniversary set is a special stand commemorating the 15th anniversary of the S.H. Figuarts line.

This item is seeing a release in the United States!  Pre-orders open June 23rd.

Click here and place your pre-order via Premium Bandai US (starting June 23rd)!  S.H. Figuarts 15th Anniversary Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron Kakimazerl Set releases January 2024 for $98.

“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!

Today, Toei began streaming a new video promoting the upcoming Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever film (which comes out in two days!). But rather than just a new teaser or trailer for the film, this video previews the films theme song, which is itself a compilation and re-mix of the Opening Themes for all 20 Heisei Riders!

Titled “Heisei Generations Forever Medley D.A. Re-Build Mix” this song arranges clips from each of the 20 Heisei Rider OP’s into one giant song, set to a variety of archival footage as well as new scenes from the soon to be released film itself.  This new theme was arranged by Daisuke Asakura.

Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever hits Japanese theaters on December 22nd! Best to dodge spoilers on social media for a bit, but if you’d like to join in on our ongoing discussion of the film, feel free to pop into our discussion thread linked below.

“A transformation into a more mature style, perfect for formal occasions.”

The tradition of the Hyper Battle Video (and the rider forms exclusive to them) dates all the way back to Kamen Rider Kuuga, though that special did not feature an exclusive form for him. To this date none of the various HBV exclusive rider forms have ever had figuarts  produced of them and likely never will either. In a search to rectify that case for Kamen Rider Drive, I stumbled across a fantastic artist & customizer. @relgnadam on twitter. Thankfully relgnadam had actually already created the form I was looking for, and after some correspondence agreed to recreate one more time for me, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type High Speed! For Toku Toy Box today we’re taking a look at this magnificent work of art in the full gallery below!

I’ve followed relgnadams blog for some time now, which you can find here, madangler blog. You may be familiar with some of his more recent projects such as re-creating Dark Drive’s future ride the NEXTridoron or his brilliant work recreating fully poseable Cronus robes. Relgnadam is a professional, and his work is a labor of love. He tirelessly recreates figures and vehicles down to the most minute detail, with absolute precision. I was ridiculously happy to be able to come to an agreement on the Type High Speed custom you see today, and having it in hand after a little over a year of anticipation, I am nowhere near disappointed.

We’ve attached the full 50+ image gallery of this impressive custom piece to this post, but you can also check out our review by clicking the link below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be taken to our full review thread! In a couple days we’ll be back with another Toku Toy Box gallery, and this time, we’re headed back into the Armour Zone….
