“The highest level, the most powerful body!”

To combat the immortal Kamen Rider GenM, Emu Hojo will have to max out his level! Using a gift from beyond the grave left by Kiriya Kujo, the ultimate Gashat is born. Maximum level, maximum strength, and the ability to reprogram the Bugster virus, all rolled into one. The man who’s the source of the Bugster virus itself, is destined to save humanity from it as Ex-Aid reaches his highest level, 99!

Oddly enough, Ex-Aid Level 99 is actually a repaint of GenM Level Billion. Even though the history of these two forms existing in the series & films is actually the reverse. Whatever the case for how this release came second is, it’s an undeniably good one. This mold looked incredible stylish in the evil GenM colors, but seeing it done up in Ex-Aid’s rather unique palette, is incredibly pleasing as well. Armed with the Gashacon Key Slasher and far more articulation than you realize, Ex-Aid Level 99 will be an imposing shelf presence and a fantastic foil to Level Billion.

“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!

RIDER TIME!

As you might recall, we got a nice teaser from Bandai announcing that a SODO set for the fan favorites Another Riders was coming down the pipeline, and we finally have our first look at these beauties thanks to some new photos that were recently released.

SODO Another1 will contain four Another Riders: Another Ex-Aid, Another Build, Another Faiz, and Another Gaim the set will release in July 2019.

With this being numbered as the first set, one can only hope that we’ll see the other Another Riders somewhere down the road.

“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 plethora of new images for the upcoming Kamen Rider Zi-O toyline have been released!

This is our best look yet at the Rider Kick Figure series- specifically the Rider Armor releases. These figures represent the powers of legendary Kamen Riders!

The next two releases in this series will be Rider Armors based on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and Kamen Rider Ghost! Both Armors have reversible color patterns to better match the basic RKF bodies belonging to Kamen Rider Zi-O and Kamen Rider Geiz.

And as an extra bonus we have a close look at the new Riders’ method of transportation- the DX RideStriker! This is a unique motorcycle toy that transforms into a special RideWatch that can be used in the DX ZikuDriver.

With the premiere of Kamen Rider Zi-O only days away, merchandise is already on its way to store shelves! Be sure to stop by your preferred Rider retailer to stock up on all your Zi-O needs!

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!
