This bit of news narrowly flew under the radar: building Block company Nanoblock will be releasing Kamen RIder themed sets later this month!

Found via Amazon Japan, we have listings for the four main Riders of Kamen Rider Gaim including Gaim himself, Baron, Ryugen, and Zangetsu, with the production images showing that you can replicated the pre-transformed giant fruit on head state somewhat, each Rider will come with his signature weapon.

Also joining the Gaim Riders, we have Kamen Rider 1whom will include enough pieces to build the Cyclone Bike in addition to a set that will include two Shocker Combatmen.

The sets aren’t too expensive with the Gaim riders costing 1680 yen a piece while the Shocker two pack at 1944 yen. Understandably, Kamen Rider 1 is a bit pricer at 2160 yen.

According to the Amazon Japan listings, these should be release on June 30th.

The boys of the Talkin Toku Podcast are back at it with the release of their 9th episode, Attack of the No No Cat (blame Tom for that one). Join your hosts Kickback (Chris, @rankal), Den-O (Jordan, @DenO_Tokunation), and Sentai Tamashii (Tom, @SoulInkChu) as they touch on a number of topics from last week in the world of tokusatsu!

Some of the hot topics discussed – their reactions on the international trailer for the new Godzilla movie, their thoughts on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic from Free Comic Book Day and just why Saban Brands did nothing to promote it (as well as some behind-the-scenes knowledge in the world of comics from our very own Sentai Tamashii, who works a freelance colorist and has done jobs for Marvel, DC, IDW Publishing, and Archie Comics), some good old fashioned toy talk with Kachidoki Arms and S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold, and the usual show talk of Kamen Rider Gaim and Ressha Sentai ToQGer. But there’s even more stuff that’s discussed throughout the episode, including the No No Cat, spooky haunted microphones and/or alien contact, follow up on our last toy debate on Tamashii Nations and Super Sentai Figuarts, and so much more. Take a listen below!

Kickback also discusses the Fruit Henshin Contest and some details of the upcoming crossover episode with our good friends from the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast scheduled for later this month. All the show details are below – do us a favor and click “Discuss” and share your thoughts! Till next time!

Ryu Ho! Ha ha ha!

 S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryugen has finally been announced for release! After a few months in limbo it’s finally been revealed that Ryugen will be released in August 2014 for 3800 yen. The better news is that he also appears to be a retail release!

Love or hate the character (most likely hate) the figure of him looks gorgeous! Check out a few of the official images for Ryugen after the jump!

Awhile back it was announced that there would be a DVD feature for Kamen Rider Gaim entitled “Hyper Battle”, which would be out of continuity of the show and mainly feature your favorite characters from Kamen Rider Gaim in previously unseen arms changing armors. So for example, Kamen Rider Gaim could wear the Melon Arms from Kamen Rider Zangetsu. As part of the promotion for the upcoming DVD, Ganbarizing.com threw up some images of these arms changes, featuring your heroes in-suit wearing new arms. One of the highlights is seeing Kamen Rider Zangetsu in multiple different armors (and I have to admit, using Ryugen’s armor looks beautiful!). A teaser at the end of the page hints that the next update will feature Kamen Rider Gridon, Kamen Rider Kurokage, and Kamen Rider Knuckle swapping various armaments.

As you know by now, this weeks regular Super Hero Time programming is being replaced by a very special crossover. This hour long special is Kamen Rider Gaim VS Ressha Sentai ToQger! 

Serving as a prelude to the Heisei VS Showa Featuring Super Sentai film, this special will mark only the second time ever that a currently running Rider & Sentai will share a storyline. The first being Kamen Rider Decade & Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. This special is labelled as Episode SP for both series and chronologically should take place between Gaim episodes 26 & 27 and ToQger 6 & 7.

The episode itself airs shortly in Japan and subs will of course be up later in the week from our favorite groups. For now click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our stickied discussion thread/poll for this special in the News and Rumors section.

Toei’s official Youtube channel has put up a special promotional trailer for the upcoming Gaim Hyper Battle DVD! In addition to the exclusive new form “Fresh Orange Arms,” this Video features several new Arms Changes between the other Armored Riders!

 

The Gaim Hyper Battle DVD should be released later this Spring!

under Kamen Rider

You may recall a few months back, that a special Fresh Orange Lock Seed was offered as a magazine pack in bonus. As it turns out, this Fresh Orange lock will indeed allow Kamen Rider Gaim to use a new Fresh Orange Arms! 

This arms is set to debut in the Kamen Rider Gaim Hyper Battle Video scheduled for release this spring. Much like previous Hyper Battle exclusive forms it most likely will not appear in the main show proper. Prime examples of this trend being Gattack Hyper, Fourze RocketDrill States, Wizard Falco Mantle, or OOO TakaToraGaru.

This image also teases the other arms changes from the special:

Ryugen: Pine Arms, Banana Arms, Melons Arms
Zangetsu: Mango Arms, Ichigo Arms, Budou Arms
Baron: Kiwi Arms, Melon Arms, Ichigo Arms

Looks like another exciting crossover is coming down the tracks from Toei!

Shison Jun (Toq 1) revealed a photo on his blog that the newest Super Sentai & current Kamen Rider will share the screen in a crossover episode airing March 30th!

This will be the second time the ToQGers come face-to-face with Kamen Rider Gaim (they share screentime in the recent “Hesei VS Showa” Movie War) and is the second in-series crossover between Super Sentai & Kamen Rider (the first being Samurai Sentai Shinkenger’s special appearance in Kamen Rider Decade).

Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this fresh and imaginative team-up!

Wonderfest 2014 has begun! This annual unveiling of upcoming Japanese merchandise always has a few surprises for tokusatsu fans, and this year things start off on a Dangerous note:

We now have our first look at SH Figuarts Armored Rider Bravo, complete with one of the best displays Bandai has ever put up! In addition, three Armored Rider Kurokage Figuarts are on display. These 3 appear to be of the MP Kurokage Trooper variety lacking faceplate details and having silver belts. We’re waiting for confirmation of how these figure will be released and how a standard Hasse Kurokage will be released relating to them.

Stay tuned to TokuNation this weekend as we keep you up to date on all the Wonfest reveals!
