The 8th entry in the Tire Koukan action figure series has been released! Youtube reviewer wotakufighter offers an in-depth look at this interesting new figure.
Type Dead Heat is a unique power-up form shared by Kamen Rider Drive and Kamen Rider Mach. Because of this, TK-08 pulls double-duty and can change into both Rider forms!
This figure is available from all preferred retailers for 3456 Yen before shipping and handling.
Though none of the Kamen Rider Drive S.H. Figuarts have been released yet Bandai is giving us an early tease of the many 1st run bonuses to be included with these figures!
In official images released today we get some solid looks at:
The next entry in the Tire Koukan line has just been revealed and TK-08 puts a new twist on the line!
Rather than just being one figure, TK-08 is 2-in-1! TK-08 is both Kamen Rider Drive Type Dead Heat AND Mach Type Dead Heat! By way of a rotating tire, belt, and helmet this figure can assume the form of either rider!
It’s a tiny image but for the moment this is our first look at how this figure will function. Stay tuned as more information and release details become available.
New magazine scans have revealed a special new power-up form for the current Kamen Rider series: Type DeadHeat!
DeadHeat is a form apparently shared by Kamen Rider Drive & Kamen Rider Mach, allowing one Rider to use the other’s abilities. The resulting hybrid form is definitely an unique visual for this series.
Type DeadHeat should be appearing this February! Tune in to Kamen Rider Drive and see what this new form is truly capable of!

In a surprisingly out of the blue reveal the official Tamashii Features twitter, and subsequently the Drive section of Tamashii.JP have just revealed a pair of S.H.Figuarts releases from Kamen Rider Drive! Pricing info, release dates, full official images, the works!
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Mach is set to be a retail release in June 2015. Mach will include a compliment of additional hands, his Zenrin Shooter sidearm, the Magarl Advent Signal, and the Funky Spike Tire & Shift Car set for use with Drive! Kamen Rider Mach will retail for 4320 yen.
S.H.Figuarts Rider Macher will likewise be released in June. It will not only include 2 more Signal Advents for Mach (Tomare & Kaksarn) but also the effect part for the Funky Spike Tire! Ride Macher will retail for 5184 yen.
We have some new images that show off the detail of both Kamen Rider Mach and Mashin Chaser from Kamen Rider Drive taken from Uchusen Magazine’s Detail of Heroes which gives us an up close look at the suits and detail that goes in to them. With thanks to Cosmos773 from Rangerboard.com we can all drool a little bit more at all those bits and pieces of Mashin Chaser‘s suit design.
Check out the images and then join in the discussion! Kamen Rider Mach just made his debut in the last episode of Kamen Rider Drive – get a better look at his suit and discuss whether or not it’s a fitting design!
Official images for the 7th release in Kamen Rider Drive’s Tire Koukan line have been released! TK-07 Kamen rider Mach is set for release on January 17th for 3200 yen. Mach includes his signature sidearm the Zenrin Shooter, the default Advent Signal, Advent Signal Magarl, & Advent Signal Kaksarn. Mach is also capable of using Drive’s Tires in place of his Advent Signals.
The DX Ride Macher will be released on January 29th for 5000 yen. It will include the Tomare Advent Signal and feature the ability to combine with Machine Chaser’s Ride Chaser to form the Ride Crosser.
Filming is currently under way for the next Kamen Rider Drive special episode Secret Mission 3. Similarly to Hyper Battle Videos of the past this special episode will feature a new form for Drive, Type High Speed! Though blurry these images give us our first look at the suit.
Type High Speed is a primarily silver repaint of Type Speed with the red Type High Speed Tire attached. Though we initially thought this was just a new form for Drive, one of these images shows Type High Speed engaged in battle against defualt Drive Type Speed! And another shows High Speed fighting Kamen Rider Mach. We also get our first glimpse of the Mega Max Flare Tire & Shift car as well.
We’ll keep you updated as we learn more about this upcoming special.
After this week’s episode of Kamen Rider Drive and his flashy first appearance, Kamen Rider Mach is about to make his debut in the Tire Koukan toy line as well! We’ve just come across our first actual image of the figure.
Mach will be released as TK-07, and this image confirms some initial thoughts about the figure. First we can see that Mach’s V-Helm is entirely functional and reveals his Shutter Guard faceplate just as it does in show. He will at least include the Zenrin Shooter, the default Advent Signal, and the alternate Advent Signal Magarl as well. Being that this is where the connection point on Mach is, we can also see that Kamen Rider Drive’s tires are fully interchangeable with Mach!
TK-07 Kamen Rider Mach will be released in January and retails for 3200 yen!
