“Henshin!”

It’s been a long time coming but I’m happy to announce my return to TokuNation galleries! And it’s time to take a look at the long awaited final Showa Rider, Kamen Rider J! J rounds out the trinity of movie exclusive riders from the post-RX era that is still considered Showa by Toei. The 3 films,Shin, ZO, & J are some of my favorite guilty pleasures. Each for differnet reasons. So it brings me great pleasure to finally own all 3 of these figures. This has been nearly 3 years in the making.

Kamen Rider J, you’ll notice has a very similar design to ZO. Which is intentional, but has also caused many people to mistake the two for one another for years. But when you get down to it, they are both very very different. The two figuarts themselves don’t share a bit of molding at all that I can determine, so J winds up with his own unique personality from ZO. While not perfect, J is an admirable send off to the Showa Era of Kamen Rider. Now let’s hope his iconic Rider Machine, the J-Crosser, is on the way soon.

At long last the FINAL Showa Kamen Rider has finally been scheduled for release! Arriving in January 2017 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive is the long waited S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider J!

Not only completing the trio of Showa Movie Riders from the mid 90’s, Kamen Rider J is also the last of the Showa riders overall to be released as a figuart. Which is really fitting when you consider he was featured in the last Showa Rider production.  J will include two full sets of hands, an additional right hand featuring his signature “J” pose, J’s sidekick grasshopper Berry, and an alternate set of wings for Berry!

Kamen Rider J finally rounds out the Showa era of riders but we’re still missing two Heisei Riders right now (G & Kiva). We wonder how long it will be before those gaps are filled as well. Does J’s release bode well for either of them? What do you think? Time will tell. And be sure to get in touch with your preferred middleman or Tamashii Web Exclusive service when orders open to secure one. You can find a list of some such sites here.

The last of the Showa era Riders, Kamen Rider J will finally be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive that month, priced 5940 yen. Previously seen at a convention not too long ago, his accessories will include an alternate hand displaying his signature “J” pose, as well as his talking grasshopper friend Berry.

Long hoped for by collectors it seems we may be one step closer to finally having S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider J! J, is currently on display at Chara Expo 2016 in Singapore. An unexpected reveal for sure, we currently don’t have estimates on release date or pricing for J. For all we know he could disappear in to the vault of unreleased prototypes, but let’s hope not.

You may recall Kamen Rider J as the last of the trilogy of 90’s rider movies including Shin & ZO. Created after the official Showa period ended these three riders are still classified with their earlier predecessors rather than the Heisei segment of the franchise. If J is indeed released then that means the Showa era of Kamen Rider will officially be complete in figure form. All 15 main Showa riders will at least adorn your shelves together.

So what do you think about this reveal? Will it finally fill that longstanding hole in your collection? And as is often the question, where is Kiva, the long missing Heisei Rider? Sound off in the comments!
