It’s time for another episode of the official podcast of TokuNation.com – the Talkin Toku Podcast! Join your hosts Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom as they take an in-depth look at last summer’s toku movies – the summer movies of Ressha Sentai ToQGer and Kamen Rider Gaim! Did they like either movie? Did they dislike either movie? The answers you hear may surprise you – even more on who feels what way!

They also talk a little Shuriken Sentai Ninninger at the start of the show and their feelings on the upcoming toy releases. Just like with ToQGer, at least one host isn’t on board with the dump truck dog UFO ninjas – and this time it isn’t Kickback! Who it is will shock you!

Finally – we read YOUR comments from Twitter!

And stay tuned for a very special episode of the Talkin Toku Podcast to be released later this week as the hosts and two special guests join in on a nothing-but-Power Rangers conversation discussing all of our thoughts and feelings on the premiere of Power Rangers Dino Charge!

Until then – check out this episode and relive last summer all over again!

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!

S.H. Figuarts – Kamen Rider
– Machine Chaser
– Ride Chaser

The fan-favorite Arms Change action figure series isn’t over just yet!

Youtube reviewer k2eizo has put up a quick video demonstration of Premium Bandai Arms Change release 05- a two pack of Movie-exclusive characters Kamen Rider Mars and Kamen Rider Kamuro.

 

If you were lucky enough to preorder these figures, keep a close eye on your mailboxes- they should be available very soon!

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!

Kamen Rider
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed
S.H. Figuarts Tridoron & Drive Tire Sets
S.H. Figuarts Machine Chaser
S.H. Figuarts Ride Chaser
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Marika
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Sigurd
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Knuckle
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kurokage Shin
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Ichigo (strawberry) Arms
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryugen Kiwi Arms
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomotsuheguri Arms
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Mars
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kamuro
S.H. Figuarts Suika Arms Gaim Version
S.H. Figuarts Suika Arms Baron Version
S.H. Figuarts Overlord Baron
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Jam

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.

The end of Kamen Rider Gaim is fast approaching – and at TokuNation.com we’ve chosen to celebrate this very popular series with a send off spanning nine total days looking at every single Rider from the show and movie! Stay tuned because at any time we can announce a contest on our twitter account (@TokuNation)!

For the first official day of celebration we are taking a look at the movie riders of Kamen Rider Gaim! These are the Riders that appeared only in movies (and maybe showed up in an episode to tie in to the movies). Over the course of three movies there have been some exclusive riders (most notably the Kamen Rider Gaim Summer Movie). And while a majority of us wait for a release of the summer movie on DVD, the other two movies are available and we’ve experienced them.

Please click “Read More” to take a look at the movie riders – namely Bujin Gaim, Kamen Rider Fifteen, Kamen Rider Kurokage Shin, Kamen Rider Kamuro, and Kamen Rider Mars (with a brief extension to Kamen Rider Jam). Join us because for nine days the stage is ours! Henshin!

Note – if you haven’t seen these movies, there are spoilers in our “Read More” section! If you haven’t seen the movies, or read up on the movies, then you probably don’t want to click “Read More”. But you know you want to. It’s a celebration after all!

This weekend one of the most popular toku series of all time will come to an end – Kamen Rider Gaim is coming to an end with the airing of its final episode, “Transform! And to the Future!”, the 47th and final installment of this beloved series. It’s popularity has spawned one of the most successful merchandise toy lines (in both the Arms Change figures as well as the DX Lock Seeds and Sengoku & Genesis Drivers) in Kamen Rider history, and helped gain a slew of fans to the franchise that are either new or had stopped watching Kamen Rider thanks to the love it/hate it series of Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider Fourze.

Kamen Rider Gaim has been an incredibly popular series here at TokuNation.com, as our discussion threads of each episode have grown larger and larger each week as fans have registered to share their thoughts on each episode. And this weekend they will do it one last time (until the summer movie is released!). While our wallets cry as we continue to buy up all the Kamen Rider Gaim merchandise (who has got their S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kachidoki Arms yet?!?) we figured it was only fitting to give this series a proper send off here with Nine Days of Juicy, the Kamen Rider Gaim Celebration!

Over the course of the next nine days, starting on Thursday, September 25th, we will be posting an in-depth retrospective of all the Beat Riders, Armored Riders, and Energy Riders. Our celebration will end on Friday, October 3rd, right before the premiere of Kamen Rider Drive, the next installment of the Kamen Rider franchise. But what good is a celebration if the party has no party favors?

As we get close to the end of the celebration, followers of the TokuNation twitter account (@TokuNation on Twitter) will have a chance to win two S.H. Figuarts of characters from Kamen Rider Gaim! If you haven’t followed us on Twitter then you’d better hurry – our give away requires you to be a follower of our twitter account and to also re-tweet the give away tweet! Watch for it!

We hope you’ve enjoyed Kamen Rider Gaim as much as we have. So let’s give it one heck of a send-off by celebrating everything about the show – the good, the bad, and the simply confusing stuff! HENSHIN!!!!!

LOCK ON!

With the release of Gaim’s summer movie just days away, it’s only natural that we take a look at the DX Gold and Silver Ringo/Apple Lock Seeds of Armored Riders Kamuro & Mars! Courtesy of a Japanese youtube reviewer. The spoken name of these locks is simply “Gold” & “Silver”. While naturally most other locks shout their fruit name in English or Japanese, these locks interestingly don’t use apple or it’s Japanese counterpart ringo.

Gaim’s summer movie will be launching on July 19th in Japanese theaters.

Magazine scan time has come around once again for Kamen Riders this month! And it looks like this months’ main focus is the Kamen Rider Gaim movie, The Great Soccer Match! The Golden Fruit Cup! 

This newest set of scans from the film reveals some in action shots of new comer fighters Kamen Rider’s Mars & Kamuro. Also shown is Gaim’s Dark Jinba Arms in action, a selection of some of the new Arms Changes Gaim will be trying out in the film, and a team-up or two you may not ever have expected to see.

Overshadowing this though is one bombshell scan from from an upcoming episode of  Kamen Rider Gaim. MAJOR SPOILERS below so read on at your own risk:

Spoiler:
These scans show us the return of Takatora with his original Sengoku Driver, utilizing the Original Kamen Rider Zangetsu suit! He goes toe to toe in these scans with his brother Micchy still posing as Shin Zangetsu. Upcoming episode rumors say the outcome of this battle will see the elder Kureshima brother on top.

We’ll see how the battle plays out in a few short weeks! Until then click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” to head to our Gaim Rumors/Speculations thread to discuss these spoiler heavy implications!
