“We’re the Hokuto Three Crows!
And we’re not just gonna tell you who we are.”

In the 3-sided war for Pandora’s Box that took shape early in Kamen Rider Build, it was the surprise appearance of this trio of Hard Smashes that turned everything upside down. Accompanying the powerful new rider, Kamen Rider Grease, the Hokuto Three Crows presented an uphill battle for Build & Cross-Z. Initially these heroes of Hokuto clashed with the main cast, but it wasn’t long before the real motives of the war and their perpetrator were revealed and these beloved allies of Kazumi Sawatari gave their all for their friend.

Castle, Stag, and Owl Hard Smash echo the trifecta of classic sentai colors, and ultimately they proved themselves heroes very much worthy of that influence. These figures of the trio are Figuarts Zero’s, basically statues, but snazzy shelf display pieces none the less. With some minimal articulation worked in, each is sculpted and painted wonderfully, and scaled perfectly to match any of your Kamen Rider Build family Figuarts. Regardless of any shortcomings, of which there are some, having the Hokuto Three ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with Grease is incredibly satisfying.

We’ve attached a full 80 image gallery to this post, but you can also read through our comprehensive review of the set by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’re getting back to action with some more Power Rangers Lightning Collection galleries!

Toei has released a new full-length trailer for the upcoming V-CINEMA Project Kamen Rider Build NEW WORLD- Kamen Rider Grease!

Starring fan-favorite Kohei Takeda, this film is set in the alternate universe created at the end of Kamen Rider Build. A mysterious terrorist group known as DOWNFALL threatens the security of the new world, and only Kamen Rider Grease is strong enough to fight back.

This trailer also features our first look at Grease’s new form in action- Kamen Rider Grease Perfect is activated with the Perfect Kingdom device and channels the powers of the Hokuto Three Crows for one last battle.

New World: Kamen Rider Grease is currently scheduled for theatrical release on September 6 2019 with a DVD & Blu-Ray release set for November 27 2019!

“I’ll let my passion burn, and crush you.”

Evolt is minutes away from total victory, harnessing the power of Pandora’s Box & the Lost Bottles, he will consume the Earth and countless more planets. Sento & Banjou must press on to fight him, but standing in their way are clones of the Hokuto Three! With only his life left to give, Kazumi will face his fallen friends one more time. But the power of Grease alone won’t be enough. Kazumi must wield the deadly Blizzard Knuckle and walk the lonely path of a hero. With frozen fists and an icy resolve, Grease becomes Kamen Rider Grease Blizzard!

Grease Blizzard joins the Build line up of Figuarts nearly a year after his debut. A very late stage one off addition to the show, it goes without saying that actor Kouhei Takeda’s incredible performance drove his character’s arc, and eventual upgrade. The Blizzard episodes (46 & 47) in particular were very powerful, and it’s wonderful to finally have a figure to represent him in that moment. Grease Blizzard is a combination of the basic Cross-Z & original Grease body molds but features two new key changes as well. The fully functional Blizzard Knuckle & a new robotic left hand, the GBZ Demolition One!

We have an icy 60 images of Kamen Rider Grease Blizzard for you to check out after the jump. Just click “discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see them, and read through our full review. The next time we visit the world of Build, we’ll be meeting the mad man himself, Kamen Rider Mad Rogue!

Once again the world of Kamen Rider Build offers us a surprise!

Fan-favorite supporting hero Kamen Rider Grease will be starring in a New World V-Cinema set after the events of the series, and with a new adventure comes new Rider powers! Thanks to the Grease Perfect Kingdom adapter- used with the Robot FullBottle in the BuildDriver rather than Greases’ traditional SclashDriver– the powers of Kamen Rider Grease Perfect are activated!

This new form is said to contain the powers of Grease’s subordinates, the Hokuto Three Crows. Perfects’ exact combat abilities remain unknown at time of writing.

Kamen Rider Grease: New World is currently scheduled for release in Autumn 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this exciting project!

A brief teaser video has been released for the recently-announced New World spinoff film starring fan-favorite Kamen Rider Grease!

At the moment, very few details about this new V-Cinema have been revealed. Actor Kohei Takeda will reprise his role as Kamen Rider Grease, while series writer Shogo Muto will be in charge of the script. Tokusatsu veteran Shojiro Nakazawa will direct the feature.

We do know that Kamen Rider Grease will be receiving a unique upgrade in this V-Cinema- thanks to a new device called the DX Grease Perfect Kingdom! This item combines Greases’ own Robot FullBottle with the powers of his fellow soldiers- the Hokuto Three Crows.

Grease New World is currently scheduled for release on November 11 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation for any new details on this exciting project!
