For-For-For-Formula!

After the holiday rush Toku Toy Box is back in full swing with a brand new gallery! Today we’re making another pit stop with Kamen Rider Drive and S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Formula!

Type Formula is Drive’s penultimate form, and much like his final form it has it’s lovers & detractors. I for one have always been a big fan of the Formula design but it doesn’t work for everyone. A recent Tamashii Web Exclusive, Formula is a unique release. Yes it includes the requisite extra hands, Formula Shift Car, Trailer Cannon, & even the swap-out Core Driviar-N chest. But Type Formula also includes a full decal sheet! The decals on this sheet help you recreate every single Shift Car “sponsor logo” on the suit! While this may seem tedious to most I have to admit it wasn’t that bad in practice.

We’ve included basically 2 galleries for the price of 1 here. A number of detailed photos of Type Formla without decals applied and a complete set of photos with decals applied as well! Read on by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to enjoy over 80 images of Drive Type Formula! And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

We’re long past due sharing this one with you, but for Toku Toy Box we’re pulling out all the stops this year! Released just recently as a Tamashii Web Exclusive we’re happy to finally be able to take a look at the massive S.H. Figuarts Tridoron!

The Tridoron is one amazing collector’s piece. What you’ll immediately notice about it is the hefty die-cast metal used in the undercarriage as well as the gorgeous and near flawless paint applications. Get beyond the shock of these features though and what we have is an amazingly functional vehicle with a WEALTH of accessories. Tridoron has working LED’s for head/tail lights, fully detailed & functional interiors, a number of new faces for Mr. Belt are included, as are several items necessary to replicate Tire Koukans on this behemoth. But perhaps most interesting of all though is the removable Driver’s Side cutaway model! A special stand is even included for it’s display. S.H. Figuarts Tridoron is literally one of the most all inclusive packages I’ve ever seen.

And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

This has been one great show this year! However the absence of Super Sentai figuarts & the smaller presence of Metal Heroes & other offbeat toku heroes is noticeable. So we’d like to know what are your thoughts on the showing from Bandai and Tamashii Nations this year? Sound off in our ongoing discussion of all the reveals from this show by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

This gives us some excellent shots of both Riders fighting against new enemies, including the Leonardo Ganma. In addition, we have our first look at Shinnosuke’s latest form- known as Kamen Rider Zero Drive.

A new poster has just surfaced for the upcoming winter crossover film, Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive Movie Wars Genesis! Unconfirmed before now this poster shows us that not only will Kamen Rider Specter be playing a siginifcant roll, but Kamen Rider Chaser will also return! More over we have also our first look at Drive’s new form exclusive to the movie, Kamen Rider Zero Drive!

According to a plot synopsis courtesy of The Ghouly News the movie plays out as follows, with some big surprises not only for the villain of the film, but our heroes as well! Major spoilers below:

Spoiler:
The Greatest Genius of the Century vs. the Kamen Riders! A mystery from 10 years ago leads to Ghost and Drive’s “beginning”…

After encountering each other while chasing a Ganma, Takeru and Shinnosuke are thrown 10 years into the past after a rift in space-time suddenly opens. Shinnosuke encounters Mr. Belt before they had originally met while Takeru finds his father, Ryu Tenkuuji, before he passed away.

Meanwhile, the Roidmude have revived in the present. Kamen Rider Spectre and Kamen Rider Mach work together in a desperate attempt to stop them. As if he were Mach’s guardian spirit, Kamen Rider Chaser arrives to help.

Takeru is determined to save his father in the past, not realizing that it’s a trap created by the greatest genius of the century, revived as a Ganma, Leonardo Da Vinci! With his friend in danger, Shinnosuke will don the Drive Driver once more as Kamen Rider Zero Drive!

Sounds like we’re in for one spooky ride with this film! Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive Movie Wars Genesis opens in Japanese theaters December 12th!

under Kamen Rider

Some new information regarding the upcoming Movie War between Kamen Rider Drive and Kamen Rider Ghost has surfaced online!

Of particular interest, recent reports indicate that Movie War Genesis will be presented as a single contained story featuring both Riders. This is a drastic change of pace from previous Movie Wars, which generally feature three separate story bits (one for each Rider and only a short teamup at the very end).

The director of Movie War Genesis has also been announced- Osamu Kaneda, veteran of Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden and Super Hero Taisen will direct the film. The script will be written by Makoto Hayase– a newcomer to the tokusatsu genre.

Movie War Genesis will be released in theaters on December 12 2015! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all cinematic details!

under Kamen Rider

The title for the next Kamen Rider teamup film has finally been confirmed!

The high-speed adventures of Kamen Rider Drive and the spiritual abilities of Kamen Rider Ghost will unite for one amazing theatrical release- Kamen Rider VS Kamen Rider- Ghost & Drive Super Movie War Genesis! This film is scheduled to premiere in theaters on December 12, 2015.

In addition, two souvenir sets have been announced for ticket preorders:

*A pair of mini-figures based on both lead Riders
*A fanny-pack resembling the Ghost Driver sold along with Chase’s Treasures-which contains a Signal Chaser bike and a copy of Kamen Rider Chaser’s drivers’ license.

No other cast or story details are known at this time. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Rider news!
