We are merely days away from the premiere of the 20th and final Heisei Era Kamen Rider series, and now we have been given a few quick shots at the upcoming adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O!

The highlights from this months’ scans include-

*Kamen Rider Zi-O & his counterpart Kamen Rider Geiz testing out their new henshin belts and weapons. Zi-O uses the Zikan Gilade sword while Geiz controls the Zikan Zax crossbow. Zi-O’s unique motorcycle, the RideStriker is also on display, rounding out his arsenal.

*The monstrous AnotherRiders are shown in full! These are corrupted versions of past Kamen Riders awakened by the villainous TimeJackers. The AnotherRider versions of Kamen Rider Build and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid will be Zi-Os’ first proper opponents.

*By defeating the AnotherRiders, Zi-O will gain the Riders’ powers. We get to see the effects of this thanks to Zi-O’s Armor Time– channeling new forms based on the past Rider in question. The form detailed in this months’ scan is the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid RideArmor! In this new configuration Zi-O gains powerful punching attacks thanks to new piston weapons.

*Not to be outdone, Kamen Rider Geiz is shown obtaining the Kamen Rider Drive RideArmor! This new form grants Geiz powerful speed-kicks and control of Drive’s trademark ShiftCar.

*Looming over the Riders’ adventures is the sinister Demon King ZI-O! This figure is a golden corrupted version of Kamen Rider Zi-O from the same future as Kamen Rider Geiz- a world without hope ruled by a merciless king. Is this Zi-O’s ultimate fate? Only time will tell!

Kamen Rider Zi-O is officially scheduled to begin on September 2 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new Rider series!

As you might recall, Tamashii Nations announced the S.H.Figuarts Heisei Riders Rising Project to coincide with the launch of Kamen Rider Zi-O and the end of the Heisei Era. Many are eager to see what will come of this announcement, and our first one comes in the form of the S.H.Figuarts 20 Kamen Rider Kicks reissues of older S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider figures.


What sets these Figuarts apart from their first releases is the fact that they’ll include special Tamashii Act stage stands: these stands include parts that will mimic one of Kamen Rider Zi-O’s Ride Watches in appearances and of course they’ll be themed after each corresponding Rider.

Each of these Figuarts will cost 5400 yen a piece, going in order, our first batch of releases will include Kamen Riders Build, Faiz, Gaim, Ex-Aid Blade, Den-O, Drive, and Ryuki with Drive and Den-O coming out January 2019.

This will be an excellent opportunity for those that may have missed out on these figures the first time around, or for those new to the fandom looking to dive head first into the fan favorite S.H.Figuarts line.

With Kamen Rider Zi-O heralding the end of the Heisei Era for Kamen Rider, and in commemoration of the 20th Heisei Rider himself, Tamashii Nations has announced the S.H. Figuarts Heisei Riders Rising Project!

The Rising Project announcement promises the reveal of 3 new Heisei Rider figuarts in the near future. The first of these 3 riders will be revealed on August 24th. Currently speculation is running wild as to what these 3 figures will actually be. Will this be Kiva’s time? There’s Zi-O which begins airing next month  as well, so now would be an ideal time to reveal his first figuart. Then there’s the possibility that 1 or more of these figures could be a Shinkocchou Seihou renewal of an out of date release like OOO, Fourze, or even Faiz.

Exactly who these 3 Heisei Riders are, is something we’ll be watching closely in the coming weeks. So we’ll be sure to keep the community up to date!

New information for the upcoming series Kamen Rider Zi-O is slowly making its way out!

This time, we get to see a few more samples of the RideWatch Armor that grants this new Rider his powers. By activating a RideWatch in the Jikan Driver Kamen Rider Zi-O & Kamen Rider Gates can obtain the powers of past Kamen Riders!

The Armors currently shown are:


*Kamen Rider Wizard
*Kamen Rider Drive
*Kamen Rider Ghost
*Kamen Rider Ex-Aid
*Kamen Rider W
*Kamen Rider Fourze
*Kamen Rider OOO
*Kamen Rider Gaim

Additional RideWatches are shown for the remaining Heisei-Era Kamen Riders but their armors have not yet been detailed in full.

It’s that time of year again folks! Kamen Rider Build is sadly drawing to a close, and as we say our farewells a new hero rises to take his place: Kamen Rider Zi-O who was revealed earlier in the week.

Not long after the reveal, our first toy catalog scans are beginning to surface online thanks to Twitter user @Tokullector and translations from @SpecialForm12

A few things worth noting from the translations:

  • Kamen Rider Zi-O’s belt is called the Jikku Driver
  • The second Rider shown previously is called Kamen Rider Gates
  • The form changes are called ArmorTime, both Gates and Zi-O uses RideWatches to activate these forms.
  • Kamen Rider Zi-O has ArmorTimes based on Build and Ex-Aid while Gates will use forms based on Ghost and Drive.
  • Zi-O’s default sidearm is called the JikanGrade and will have both a sword and gun mode.

Do note that what we are seeing are scans for the Gashapon toys, we’ll be seeing scans for the DX stuff in the next few days. In the meantime, stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll provide you more updates as they become available.

“I’ve taken my sons’ Drive back!!”

As we prepare to celebrate the new year, we look forward to the future. What? No, not 2018, but the year 2035! The Paradox Roidmude traveled back from that time to trick Kamen Rider Drive into giving him his ultimate power. Desecrating even the memory of Shinnosuke’s son, by posing as him to do it. Using the corrupted powers of the future Drive, Paradox tried to take everything from Shinnosuke. But with a bit of luck, Mr. Belts’ help, and the spirit of Eiji Tomari a power was born to defeat Paradox. A fusion of Shinnosuke’s Type Speed and Eiji’s un-corrupted Type Next, the subject of our final gallery of the year is none other than S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Special! 

Drive Type Special is one again heavily based  on the trusty Type Speed body we’ve come to know over the years. More specifically it’s a slight repaint and remold of Dark Drive which was also recently released. The two suits were exclusive to the Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future movie.  This figure takes the great things implemented with Dark Drive and adds a more heroic spin to them. While lite on the accessories, Drive Type Special is just such a charming release, and it’s nice to have one more of Drive’s movie exclusive forms at last.

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery to this post, but you can also check out our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll see again in the future! Happy New Year!

As is customary with Kamen Rider, the gimmick line of each series ends up having “legend Riders” power-ups. Kamen Rider Build is continuing that tradition with the DX Legend Rider Full Bottles which have been uncovered today by @_Erasu on Twitter.

You will be able to pick up Kamen Rider Fourze, Kamen Rider Wizard, Kamen Rider Gaim, Kamen Rider Drive, Kamen Rider Ghost, and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid DX Full Bottles for your Build Driver! Check out all the images in the story.

No prices or release dates are available at the time of this posting. We will update as soon as the official page goes online.

Kamen Rider Climax Fighters was announced not too long ago for the Playstation 4. It’s a fighting game featuring all titular 19 Hesei-era Kamen Riders – from Kamen Rider Kuuga to Kamen Rider Build. Are there more? Possibly – we have to wait and see. But the big news coming today, courtesy of Playstation Lifestyle, is that Kamen Rider Climax Fighters will be the first main Kamen Rider game to receive localizations throughout Asia.

Why is that news? Well, because Bandai Namco localizations in certain areas of Asia – such as Southeastern Asia – receive the game in English. That’s right – it looks as if Bandai Namco will release the game in Southeastern Asia in the English language (text-wise, at least).

While a release of Kamen Rider Climax Fighters in the West is absolutely slim at best, a chance for fans to import the game in English at the very least seems high. We’ve included pictures courtesy of Playstation Lifestyle in the article so check it out!

Earlier today we had confirmation of this release and mere moments later official images began to circulate. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Special is officially on the way and looking great.

Type Special reuses much of the new parts created for the Dark Drive figuart that’s releasing in August. But we do see a new shift car, tire, head and chest to set this release apart. Unsurprisingly, Type Special does not come with the Signal Axe or Handle Sword in these photos. Those are only here to demonstrate that the figure can use them. 4 sets of hands and 4 Shift Cars round out the entire package of accessories sadly.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Special will be release in November as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 6264 yen. Get in touch with your preferred middleman or service now to reserve yours!

We’ve seen both on display recently at the Tamashii Nations Akiba showroom as well as the Tamashii Nations World Tour. Now both of these new figures are slated for actual release! Thanks to a handful of new magazine scans we can confirm both.

S.H. Figuarts kamen Rider Drive Type Special, Drives unique movie from from Surprise Future, is set for release in November. Type Special will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive and retail for 6264 yen.

S.H. Figuarts Dada or as he was originally known Agent #271, is an infamously weird villain from the original Ultraman TV series. While not as prolific as Baltan this Kaiju is definitely looking good as Bandai continues their productive line of Kaiju figuarts. Dada will be released in November for 7344 yen.
