With the end of Gaim near, time for us to take a shift into Drive territory! From this scan, we can see the abilities of two more of Drive’s Shift Cars, Dream Vegas and Massive Monster!

Dream Vegas (originally believed to be Dream Pegasus), gives Drive a Slot Machine themed Tire, arming him with two giant poker chips that he can use as cymbal-like weapons. Massive Monster gives Drive a Monster Truck themed Tire, arming him with a large monster-like clamp weapon akin to the Kyoryuger’s Deinosgrander or ToQ4’s Alligator Safari Ressha.

After a year of the odd yet awesome fruit motif of Gaim, it seems that Drive is taking a turn into some interesting territory! Are you ready to join the ride? What could other powers could the Shift Cars give Drive?! Stay tuned and find out!

The latest issue of Telvi-Kun Magazine includes several new scans for Kamen Rider Drive! These magazine images give us our first look at Drive’s rival character, Machin Chaser – a mysterious purple warrior who transforms for combat using a weapon called the Break Gunner. Machin Chaser is presumably connected to the Roimyudo monsters that fight Kamen Rider Drive but the full story of this new character is not yet known.

The scans do provide some more close looks at the Roimyudo creatures, including the monster forms of the main villains Brain & Heart. Apparently the Roimyudo will have a type of evolutionary chain- beginning in human form, then changing to a basic monster form & potentially evolving further as they develop new powers.

In addition these magazine scans have revealed Kamen Rider Drive’s headquarters- the Drive Pit! Located beneath a driving school, the Pit will be Trideron’s storage location & presumably a testing ground for Drive’s abilities.

Last but certainly not least we also get some more Shift Car combat details! Kamen Rider Drive is seen using the Shift Dimension Cab to create portals and attack from a distance, while the Spin Mixer Shift Car lets Drive fire concrete bullets at enemies.

Kamen Rider Drive premieres October 5th! Stay tuned to TokuNation until then as we keep you up to date on this new hero!

Despite having gone up from preorder a while ago, official images have finally arrived of the forthcoming fourth wave of 66 Action Kamen Rider candy toy figures. This wave will be made up of Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms, Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style, Kamen Rider Faiz and the latest Rider to join the franchise – Kamen Rider Drive!

This matches up to the initial leak of Kachidoki, Wizard and Faiz that happened around the release of wave 3, with Drive making up the fourth member. If the previous two waves are anything to go by, it will also include a chase variant of some sort.

66 Action Kamen Riders wave 4 will be released in December, costing 380 yen per figure.

It’s time for another episode of Talkin Toku!

Join Kickback, Den-O, Sentai Tamashii, and special guest host Danny as they discuss their thoughts and feelings about the upcoming finale of one of the most well-received toku series in recent memory – Kamen Rider Gaim!

In the toy talk segment they discuss the hunt for Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5″ Figures at their local Walgreens, as well as their reactions to the Kamen Rider Gaim Overlord weapons in the upcoming release of the Arms Change Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomi Arms figure.

Conversation is lost when … well, the graphic in the story will make a lot more sense. Around 20 minutes in the fact we’re unscripted with no clear direction rears its ugly head as conversation changes to Chuck E Cheese?

But take a listen – find out who is right, who is wrong, and who was way off base when the Kamen Rider Gaim live stream airs later this afternoon and releases via sub groups next week!

There’s also a bit of talk about Power Rangers Dino Charge, a small wishlist for the 2015 Super Sentai series, and more stuff!

Enjoy the episode and we’ll see you on the flip side of the series finale of Kamen Rider Gaim in a little over a week!

With the passing of the current rider series Kamen Rider Gaim, also comes the change over of the mass retail toyline. Though this is the first time in many years that the new toyline will have a pretty high standard to live up to. After this years Arms Change line it’s time for Kamen Rider Drive to step up to the plate with it’s Tire Koukan line! Koukan meaning to exchange.

So the inaugural release for this new mass retail line is TK-01 Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed! Type Speed is Drive’s default form in the series utilizing his standard Type Speed Wheel. Also included with this figure is the Max Flare Wheel. The gimmick of this line is the ability to split the figure in half across the diagonal from the shoulder to the waist, and swap out the wheels. It also appears these wheels can be attached to the hubs of each wheel on the DX Trideron vehicle!

Join in on the discussion of this figure in our ongoing Drive Toy Thread!
