“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!

“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!

KAIGAN!

At the last Tamashii Nations event, it was announced that a hyper-stylized, gritty take on Kamen Rider Ghost was coming down the pipeline. At the time, we only had lineart of what the line’s take on Ghost will look like but since then, @T_features just recently posted our first look at the prototype via a series of tweets

In addition to Ghost, two new prototypes emerged: a new take on Kamen Rider Ryuki and a teaser for the long-awaited S.I.C Kamen Rider Fourze.

There isn’t much on when these figures will be coming out or in what form, at the moment all we have to go on are these prototypes. Do note that S.I.C underwent a rebranding and is now Superior Imaginitive Coliseum.

Do check back with us, and we’ll make sure to bring you more info on this as it becomes available.

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 magazine scans detailing the upcoming adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O have been posted online! These scans give us some very detailed information about the next adventures of this time-traveling Rider.

*The next stop on Zi-O’s tour is to the year 2011 and the world of Kamen Rider Fourze! WIth Fourze’s RideWatch Zi-O will gain the power of COSMIC ENERGY to activate the Kamen Rider Fourze RideArmor!This new Armor utilizes Fourze’s legendary Rocket Punch ability & can also transform into a Rocket Mode for direct attacks.

*Zi-O is also shown obtaining the Kamen Rider OOO RideArmor! This new form based on OOO’s TaToBa combo channels all 3 animal abilities for combat.

*Not to be outdone, Kamen Rider Geiz will pick up a unique souvenir from the year 2003- the Kamen Rider Faiz RideWatch, activating Kamen Rider Faiz RideArmor! This configuration gives Geiz several of Faiz’ own weapons, including the Faiz Shot & Faiz Pointer.

*Perhaps the most powerful RideArmor yet comes from God Dan Kuroto– when Kamen Rider Geiz obtains the Kamen Rider Genm RideWatch to trigger Genm RideArmor!

*The last confirmed stop on the Riders’ tour at the moment is to year 2012 and the world of Kamen Rider Wizard! To obtain this Riders’ magic powers, the time-travelers must work with Kosuke Nito– better known as Kamen Rider Beast! Actor Tasuku Nagase will reprise his role as the mayonnaise-loving archeologist once again. Once the Wizard RideWatch is obtained, Kamen Rider Geiz will activate Kamen Rider Wizard RideArmor and be able to control magic itself!

Definitely some exciting times ahead AND several tributes to Kamen Rider history along the way! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider reveals.

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!
