Just over 2 weeks ago the Tamashii Nations 2014 event was held in Japan. As is always the case the event held a number of spectacular reveals for Tokusatsu and non-toku fans alike. Even after the event ended the Tamashii Features twitter account was still sending out official hi-res images for each of the items on display, in some cases giving us our first official looks at items under photo bans. Well today brings us an AVALANCHE of new images running down the list of the tokusatsu items on display that were under such bans!

Much like the reveal of S.H. Figuarts Marika and Suika Arms Baron last night the Tamashii Features twitter account has officially revealed S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Jam!

Jam, much like the other Gaim S.H. Figuarts releases, looks gorgeous. Sporting his Darkness Arms and wielding his Dark Daidaimaru Jam will be a pretty impressive addition to any Gaim collection. As one of a handful of Gaim riders with no Arms Change figure to fill the gap, this will be a must own for completionists like myself.

If you look to the right you can also see a tease of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Mars, which if you know Jam’s back story is no coincidence. Here’s to hopefully more official figure reveals before Tamashii Nations 2014 is over!

As is usual with these larger Tamashii events there’s a photo ban in place on a select group of items at Tamashii Nations 2014. For whatever reasons there’s always a selection of figures at these thing you just can’t take pictures of. Generally they’re off in their own areas of the show but eventually someone sneaks camera shots of what’s in there. For now at least there are no pictures or at least no decent ones of quite a few more things than we realized.

Before the show began Bandai aired a 30 minute livestream video in which a slideshow contained images of the Gaim & Drive displays. But thus far that’s all we had to go on. The list below confirms much of what could be made out in those images and includes several more we were unaware of. Here’s the full rundown of what IS at the show but can’t be photographed:

Updated with at least 1 image from the Kamen Rider Gaim display!

Metal Heroes
S.H. Figuarts Janperson
S.H. Figuarts Kabutack Super Mode

That so far is all the yet to be pictured items that we know are physically at the show. That’s quite a lot of stuff. Frankly the grainy images we have seen show that the Gaim & Drive displays are huge and full of figures, really great set pieces. It would seem silly for the photo ban on those sets up to last through out the show. And the two additional Metal Heroes would be welcome among the numerous other fresh reveals yesterday. We’ll keep you posted if images for anything on this list turn up from the event.

Despite Kamen Rider Gaim’s imminent ending in just 5 short weeks, it seems the show has one final surprise to throw at us! The actual, for real this time, one true villain of the series is revealed! Kamen Rider Jam!

The Jam suit is very clearly a reuse of the design shared by Kamen Rider Kamuro & Mars from Gaim’s summer film, with some major differences in color and accents. He also appears to be sporting a purple version of Gaim’s Daidaimaru. The Jam Lock Seed, unnamed at the time of this writing, very clearly resembles the Gold & Silver Ringo locks of the movie riders as well.
