“Henshin!”

It’s been a long time coming but I’m happy to announce my return to TokuNation galleries! And it’s time to take a look at the long awaited final Showa Rider, Kamen Rider J! J rounds out the trinity of movie exclusive riders from the post-RX era that is still considered Showa by Toei. The 3 films,Shin, ZO, & J are some of my favorite guilty pleasures. Each for differnet reasons. So it brings me great pleasure to finally own all 3 of these figures. This has been nearly 3 years in the making.

Kamen Rider J, you’ll notice has a very similar design to ZO. Which is intentional, but has also caused many people to mistake the two for one another for years. But when you get down to it, they are both very very different. The two figuarts themselves don’t share a bit of molding at all that I can determine, so J winds up with his own unique personality from ZO. While not perfect, J is an admirable send off to the Showa Era of Kamen Rider. Now let’s hope his iconic Rider Machine, the J-Crosser, is on the way soon.

Check out our full 50 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider J by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a few overdue galleries from Kamen Rider Drive, Tokkei Winspector, Kamen Rider Amazons, and more!

It’s time for TokuNation to take a dark turn down memory lane, all the way back to 1992. That was the year the film Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue was released. This film was the very definition of a grim gritty reboot for the beloved Kamen Rider franchise. As “Prologue” implies, this film was originally meant to set up a new rider TV series. Despite the films incredible practical & special effects, it’s dark re-imagining of the rider concept put off too many old school fans while simultaneously frightening new young fans of the time.

Until now Shin has been mostly relegated to making special appearances in Kamen Rider team-up films such as All-Riders VS Dai Shocker, Let’s Go Kamen Riders, or the Heisei VS Showa Taisen. But now Bandai & Tamashii Nations has shown the most monstrous of riders some serious love. Soon to be released is a Super Imaginative Chogokin figure of Shin. But that’s not all, recently released via the Tamashii Web Shop is S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin! And he’s the subject of today’s gallery as well!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin is the best representation of this rider’s grotesque form that’s ever been released. Though he’s lite in the accessories department, frankly Shin shouldn’t have any. He has no bike in his rider form, and unlike more modern riders Shin carries no weapons, and has never been shown to use any special powered up attacks. Instead relying on brute strength to fight other Cyborg Soldiers like himself. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the full gallery of this fantastic figure!

Revealed only last week Bandai has already put up official images for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin! These much clearer images really show off the amazing organic insect design of the Shin suit. Shown to include an alternate head with open mouth and extra sets of hands, Shin is lite on accessories but then again what else would they really be able to include? Shin is unfortunately one of several bike-less riders.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin will be released in May 2014 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 4320 yen.

Late last week we got a ton of looks at some brand new figures coming down the pipeline for S.H. Figaurts. Thanks to Toy World HK we have a roundup of new images for S.H Figuarts Tricera Ranger(MMPR Blue), Auto Vaijin & Faiz 2-pack, and Kamen Rider Shin.

Though a bit grainy the images do reveal some new details. Tricera Ranger will of course include his Triceralances, Auto Vaijin will include the Smart Brain suit case for the Faiz Gear, and Kamen Rider Shin appears to have an alternate head with his mouth molded open.

In what’s surely going to surprise many fans and please many others, one of the most short lived riders of the (technically) Showa era will finally receive the S.H. Figuarts treatment! Set for release in May as a Tamashii Web Exclusive is none other than Kamen Rider Shin!

Kamen Rider Shin isn’t entirely recognizable to all fans, mostly because of his very few appearances. Originally intended to be a new Kamen Rider aimed at the now adult fans of the original series, Shin first appeared in Shin Kamen Rider Prologue. As the name implies a series was meant to follow up the film. However that  never materialized because of the films bizarre horror/monster angle and excessive violence which drastically departed from what rider fans had experienced before. Shin would later go on to reappear in All Riders Vs. Dai Shocker, Let’s Go Kamen Riders, and the first Super Hero Taisen.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin will be released in May as a Tamashi Web Exclusive for 4320 yen.
