The master of machines has finally been released! A recent Tamashii Web Exclusive, it’s time for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Technic!

Type Technic is Drive’s 3rd basic form after Speed & Wild. And as the ”master of machines” its probably fitting that Technic is articulated like one. He’s a bit on the stiff side with some very odd choices in design, but still manages to look pretty great. Luckily this is also counterbalanced with the inclusion of some great accessories like the Door Ju as well as hands for Type Speed to hold it, the Fire Braver Tire with Ladder Expander, as well as the Shift Car and belt parts necessary for this tire. Overall this package is still as impressive as previous releases in the Drive line.

We’ve attached a selection of images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Technic to this post but you can check out a full gallery of over 60 images! That along with an in depth review of pros and cons for this figure can be found by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next up we take a look at S.H. Figuarts Heart Roidmude!

It’s time to enter the Dead Zone with a brand new Kamen Rider Drive gallery, this time with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Dead Heat!

Drive’s mid-season upgrade, Type Dead Heat is a powerful upgrade on part with Heart’s primary form. Both in show & in figure form this Type is a conglomeration of the Drive & Mach suits. Primarily made up of Mach’s limbs and lower torso, the upper body is all Drive with a brand new head. It was a divisive form when it first appeared in show, but this figure is the sum of parts from two other excellent releases. Though sparsely accessorized (a few sets of hands and the Dead Heat cracked/berserk Tire) if you were lucky enough to obtain it from a certain retail chain in Japan, then the bonus Shift Car Highway Effect Sheet was included! 

All in all S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Dead Heat is another excellent addition to this line of figures. We’ve assembled over 50 images of this release and a full review for you to peruse after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full gallery thread! Next up will be S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Technic!

It’s the beginning of the end for the Talkin Toku Podcast. With only two episodes left before the grand finale episode (32), join Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom for an epic nearly-2-hour-long discussion on all things tokusatsu.

Enjoy exciting new segments like Words of Wisdom from Tom, Jordan Recommends, and This Week in Toku In-Show Music with Chris. Enjoy a brand new sponsor – The Rita – and ask yourself why the hell you decided to download this podcast in the first place.

The meat of the subjects? Bullying in the tokusatsu fandom. We read off your responses on Twitter as well as share our own stories. We also discuss the continued trend of our childhood heroes starting Kickstarters/IndieGoGo’s and our feelings towards all of that.

We discuss what’s new on Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, how amazing Power Rangers Dino Charge continues to be (with a side topic of whether or not it’s amazing because of how bad the previous years have sucked), and our thoughts on Kamen Rider Drive. We also made predictions for episode 47 – find out who was right and who was wrong!

All the details you need are below! Special thanks to our pal Trekkieb47 from the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast for his help in one of our segments.

Make sure you watch all the way to through the end of the video for the full tug on your heart strings, especially if you’ve been keeping up with the show.

It’s time to get Wild!

Yet another recent release joins the Kamen Rider Drive line up of S.H. Figuarts. And this time it’s Drive’s first upgrade form, obtained with a fired up desire for justice, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Wild!

Drive Type Wild is bulky and boxy beast of a form for Kamen Rider Drive. This slick police themed form is one of my personal favorites from this series and in figure form it does not fail to impress either. Drive Type Wild comes with a smorgasbord of accessories, much like Kamen Rider mach; The Rumble Dump Tire & Shift Cars with Driver readout as well as the Rumble Smasher weapon, and several sets of hands including one pair for Drive Type speed to use with the also included Handle Ken! Not only is Drive Type Wild another gorgeous addition to the line, but it comes with everything you need to get your money’s worth out of it AND make Drive Type Speed just a little bit sweeter!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Wild is another winner in my book, but don’t just take my word for it, take a look in the full thread to make your own mind up. We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but feel free to browse the complete 70+ image gallery with review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

A few more magazine scans have surfaced online, showing an early teamup between Kamen Rider Drive and Kamen Rider Ghost!

Kamen Rider Drive’s story will apparently conclude in Episode 47, but the final episode (title unknown at time of writing) will feature Shinnosuke finding a strange new device-the Newton Eyecon!

Locating the Eyecon brings Drive to Ghosts’ attention, while triggering a battle between the Ganma and the last surviving Roimudes.

This special crossover will air on September 27, 2015! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!
