“Familial love? I felt no such thing.”

After a weekend of fantastic teases for possible releases from Kamen Rider Drive, we thought it was finally time to take a look at this excellent release. One of the strangest but most welcome retail releases for sometime, it’s everyone’s favorite maniacal, apocalypse bringing, evil deadbeat dad! That’s right, it’s S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gold Drive!

Gold Drive is a pretty straightforward repaint of the basic Drive Type Speed figuart with Proto-Drive’s archetype gear/proto-tire. The thing is though that this release takes an already fantastic mold, and spruces it up with the perfect paint apps. While this release brings literally nothing new to the table mold or accessory wise (in fact it comes with less) it’s probably the nicest use of this body so far. With the upcoming release of Zero Drive we’ve already seen 4 versions of this mold. Come on Bandai, when can we have Type high Speed? But this is yet another excellent addition to any Kamen Rider Drive, or in fact evil Rider/toku villain collection! Read on to find out why.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can enjoy a full gallery of 70 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gold Drive by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post!

In a move surprising many, Bandai has jut revealed official release details for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gold Drive! Most surprising of all? He’s going to be a retail release!

Gold Drive is a pretty straightforward repaint of Drive Type Speed with the Proto-Drive Tire.  As such he’ll almost definitely be a good figure if you have any experience with that mold at this point. Gold Drive includes 4 sets of hands and one replacement part for the Banno Driver to replicate Banno’s face readout.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gold Drive will be released at retail in September for 5940 yen.

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?

A surprising albeit hoped for reveal has just been announced on the Premium Bandai website. A special premium release of Gold Drive’s DX Banno Driver!

The DX Banno Driver, much like it’s in show counterpart, is a dark repaint of the DX Drive Driver. And while details on it’s functionality are a bit scarce at the moment, more information will be revealed on September 30th. For now however we have a few official images of the Driver & Brace and the ordering window which will be open from September 30th through December 18th with a release in February.

The DX Banno Driver will retail for 6480 yen. Be sure to get in contact with your preferred middleman service for ordering this item.

And the hits keep on coming! Following up from Kamen Rider Ghost scans from Figure Oh, we have a selection of new Kamen Rider Drive images from August airing episodes! Not only do we see the upcoming Ultimate Evolution of Medic, but also 2 brand new riders!

First up is the new Kamen Rider Gold Drive! As indicated by the scans this rider is actually the consciousness of Banno Tenjuro, the creator of the Roidmudes, given physical form with a spare Drive Driver. The gold coloring of this form would seem to indicate it’s related to the Ultimate Evolution of the Roidmudes, perhaps the 4th of the promised number?

The 2nd new rider revealed today is a Mass Production version of Kamen Rider Mach! In an effort to conitnue the fight against the Roidmudes, the Metro PD has mass produced Mach HonOh Drivers and armor. Rather than a Shift Bike or Car though, this new MP Mach Driver uses a generic version of the Tridoron Key to initiate the transformation!

That’s quite a few curve balls for Drive to be throwing us this late in the game, how it all ends is anyone’s guess from here!
