Kamen Rider Climax Fighters was announced not too long ago for the Playstation 4. It’s a fighting game featuring all titular 19 Hesei-era Kamen Riders – from Kamen Rider Kuuga to Kamen Rider Build. Are there more? Possibly – we have to wait and see. But the big news coming today, courtesy of Playstation Lifestyle, is that Kamen Rider Climax Fighters will be the first main Kamen Rider game to receive localizations throughout Asia.

Why is that news? Well, because Bandai Namco localizations in certain areas of Asia – such as Southeastern Asia – receive the game in English. That’s right – it looks as if Bandai Namco will release the game in Southeastern Asia in the English language (text-wise, at least).

While a release of Kamen Rider Climax Fighters in the West is absolutely slim at best, a chance for fans to import the game in English at the very least seems high. We’ve included pictures courtesy of Playstation Lifestyle in the article so check it out!

“Hyper Cast Off.”

There’s only one man who can walk the path of heaven. And while it’s been a long time coming, Bandai is finally tackling Kamen Rider Kabuto’s most powerful form with a new Shinkocchou Seihou figuart. However, with this premium do over on the way (as always) we like to reflect on the original figure that needed an update in the first place. With that said, let’s take a look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kabuto Hyper Form (original Release.)

The original Kabuto Hyper Form was released nearly 7 years ago. In terms of where figuarts engineering is today, that’s an eternity. Many releases from this era have begun the transition into the Shinkocchou Seihou line but many more still need it as well. Hyper Kabuto though manages to still be a charming figure even after all these years thanks to a fairly involved Clock Up transformation, his Perfect Zecter, & the included wings of light for his Hyper Kick. What we’ve seen of the Shinkocchou Seihou release already puts this one to shame, but for a collector on a budget the original release of Kabuto Hyper Form is still a worthwhile alternative.

We’ve attached the entire 80 image gallery to this post, but you can click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see full gallery thread with review. We’ll be back next time with another throwback gallery, this time focusing on Ultraman Belial!

This past month we took some time getting back into the swing of things and after a lengthy hiatus and some technical difficulties we’re slowly but surely getting back to bringing you great content! Including your favorite toy galleries of recent releases and vintage favorites. For July 2016 we took a look at 4 very unique releases:

S.H. Figuarts Kabuto Extender
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ghost Ore Damashii
S.H. Figuarts Body-Kun DX
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser Mach

From Kamen Riders Kabuto, Ghost, & Drive, with a little hint of something off-beat, we wanted to bring you a warm up round of galleries to prep things for the coming months. We’ve attached one image from each of these galleries to this post, but follow all of the links above to be taken to each of these extensive photo shoots in their entirety. Beginning in July TokuNation.com’s Photo & Content staff will be working harder than ever to bring you what you want. Be sure to stay tuned!

After a 2 month hiatus thanks to technical issues I’m back with a new gallery to kick off July! With new camera in hand and a backlog of recent releases to photograph I’m ready to start livening up our gallery section again so I hope you enjoy the ride as well! It’s going to be a learning experience for both of us as I introduce you to new figures, and I explore my new camera in depth. But for now, today’s subject is the recently released S.H. Figuarts Kabuto Extender!

A great companion piece to S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kabuto, which was released in 2014. This vehicles’ release comes quite a while after that but coincided with a reissue of Kabuto. And as far as Rider Machines go, Kabuto Extender is a fairly bare bones release but one that compliments the Kabuto already present in your collection very nicely. You won’t find much new to talk about with this release, but if you’re a fan of the Kabuto series or character, you’ll love it.

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see over 30 images of this fantastic addition to the line. Several more figuarts galleries are on their way after this as well, this is only the tip of the iceberg!

Tamashii.JP has just updated with a set of full official images for the recently revealed S.H. Figuarts Kabuto Extender! A companion piece to the 2014 release Shinkochu Seihou Kamen Rider Kabuto, the Kabuto Extender is due for release in April.

Included with this release are the typical Wheel Base most S.H. Figuarts bikes have as well as a unique Tamashii Stage Adapter allowing you to recreate various action shots. The solicitation text for this item obviously mentions how Kabuto himself is sold separately. Luckily a reissue of this figure is also scheduled for April.

S.H. Figuarts Kabuto Extender will retail for 5184 yen and be a general retail release!

Recently on display at the Tamashii Nations 2015 fall event, we now have confirmed release details for the S.H. Figuarts Kabuto Extender! 

A follow up release for last years’ Shinkochu Seihou Kamen Rider Kabuto, the Kabuto Extender is looking sharp. The original Kamen Rider Kabuto figuart was on the market for a number of years without a bike so it’s nice to see the redo finally getting his ride. No accessories are confirmed at the time of this writing but its like the Kabuto Extender will include at least a wheel base, it will obviously be non-transforming as well.

S.H. Figuarts Kabuto Extender will be released in April 2016 for 5184 yen.

Last month, Premium  Bandai revealed the CSM Gatack and Hyper Zecters,  the pre order page has now finally been updated with brand new photo galleries for the pair.

What’s more is that the galleries gives a little insight as to the functionality of the toy: the CSM Gattack Zecter has the same working Clock Up pad from last year’s Kabuto Zecter.

Compression photos between the DX and CSM Hyper Zecters are made, and interestingly enough, the Hyper Zecter will work with both Kabuto and Gatack’s. Hyper Gatack is a form that only appeared once in the Kamen Rider Kabuto Hyper Battle Video

The Hyper Zecter will be priced at 5940 yen while Gatack’s will cost 12960 yen. Both Zecters will ship sometime in February 2016.
