“Heat! Metal”!

The two-tone detectives of Fuuto, Shotaro & Phillip, are best known for their traditional Cyclone/Joker combo as Kamen Rider W! But when the situation changes, W adapt’s. A ferocious fight? Fang/Joker rampages! Need a special trick shot? Luna/Trigger has you in the cross-hairs! And on their very first case, against the T-Rex Dopant, another mix did the trick. Kamen Rider W Heat/Metal brings the heat and the force to wield it!

Shinkocchou Seihou Heat/Metal really does bring the heat. As the now 7th outing of the Seihou W mold, it’s still keeping things interesting. Exquisite paint apps and finely sculpted features can go a long way to keeping something from feeling stale. The inclusion of a wide variety of hands and a few versions of W’s Metal Shaft really go a long way to making this figure impressively expressive too. A few choice flame effect parts would have made this release perfect, thankfully I had quite a few spares to use for my review!

“I think I was destined to choose this path.”

Little did Sougo Tokiwa know, his childhood dreams of being a great king were prophetic in a way. Should they ever come to pass, they could create the desolate future ruled by Sougo’s own evil self, the overlord Oma Zi-O! In the present, Sougo journey’s down the path of the overlord, defeating Another Riders as Kamen Rider Zi-O! But with the Day of Oma approaching, will Zi-O become the evil overlord? Or will Kamen Rider Geiz, the Time Jackers, Kamen Rider Woz, or even Kamen Rider Decade, manage to contain his power? Time, will tell…

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O kicks off this year’s new Figuarts sub-line as a pretty solid release. While assuredly many will take issue with this figure’s lack of accessories (which are included with the Ride Striker) this figure has a lot to offer and lots of personality. Zi-O is a well rounded, well articulated figure that fits in fantastically with mainline figuarts as well Shinkocchou Seihou releases. Though Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva still hasn’t been released, seeing Zi-O with his fellow lead riders is still quite the sight. And if you happen to have a DX Time Mazine as I do, you’ll find that Figuarts Zi-O works quite well with him. Zi-O also compliments Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade marvelously.

Today, Toei began streaming a new video promoting the upcoming Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever film (which comes out in two days!). But rather than just a new teaser or trailer for the film, this video previews the films theme song, which is itself a compilation and re-mix of the Opening Themes for all 20 Heisei Riders!

Titled “Heisei Generations Forever Medley D.A. Re-Build Mix” this song arranges clips from each of the 20 Heisei Rider OP’s into one giant song, set to a variety of archival footage as well as new scenes from the soon to be released film itself.  This new theme was arranged by Daisuke Asakura.

Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever hits Japanese theaters on December 22nd! Best to dodge spoilers on social media for a bit, but if you’d like to join in on our ongoing discussion of the film, feel free to pop into our discussion thread linked below.

“Luna/Trigger!”

Toku Toy Box continues on and it’s time we return to a windy city called Fuuto, to revisit everyone’s favorite half-boild detective! When Shotaro Hidari & Philip combine their minds they become one as Kamen Rider W! But when the situation calls for something else, new Gaia Memories give W the edge he (they?) needs to take on the Museum’s Dopants. Using the Luna & Trigger Memories, Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger is formed!

The Shinkocchou Seihou line up of premium S.H. Figuarts renewals has been giving fans the long awaited do-overs they’ve requested for over 4 years now. Kamen Rider W Cyclone/Joker was perhaps one of the best figures to come out of this renewed line, though many many good figure’s have since as well. But that mold has proven to be near perfect in any of the various ways it’s been released. Luna/Trigger is just yet another amazing use of the Seihou W mold. If you know anything about this body type at all, you know you’re going to love this figure as well.

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger to this post. You can also check out our full review thread of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

The latest round of magazine scans has hit the Internet, offering fans a look at the upcoming adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O!

The centerpiece of this month’s reveal is the Destroyer Of Worlds. Kamen Rider Decade! With the new Decade RideWatch, Kamen Rider Zi-O unlocks an incredible level of power.

*By itself, the Decade RideArmor is a force to be reckoned with- boosting Zi-O’s powers to untold heights. This armor comes with a unique weapon called the Ride HeiSaber to fend off opponents.

*The true power of the Decade RideArmor is the ability to channel Kamen Rider upgrade forms! By attaching another RideWatch to the Armor, Zi-O can access alternate configurations- including RabbitTank Sparking, Grateful Damashii and Mighty Bros XX.

*To unlock the true potential of this new Armor, Zi-O must meet with Kamen Rider Decade himself! Fan-favorite actor Masahiro Inoue reprises his iconic role as Tsukasa Kadoya- and unlike previous Riders visited by Kamen Rider Zi-O, Tsukasa is still in full control of his Rider powers! Armed with a new model DecaDriver, Tsukasa can access later Heisei Era Kamen Rider forms- including Kamen Rider Wizard, Kamen Rider Ghost & Kamen Rider Build. Interestingly, Kamen Rider Decade appears to be fighting on the side of the TIMEJACKERS rather than the Kamen Riders! What secrets could Tsukasa be hiding?!

*Not to be outdone, another RideArmor is shown in detail- the Kamen Rider W Armor! This new form channels the signature GaiaMemories of W to give Zi-O swift punching and kicking abilities.

*Last but certainly not least, the Kamen Rider Kuuga RideArmor is revealed! This RideArmor will be introduced in the upcoming Heisei Generations Forever movie, where Kamen Rider Zi-O faces off against the monstrous Another Kuuga– a MASSIVE creature that towers over previous villains.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for Kamen Rider fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider Zi-O reveals.

Hot off the heels of the first Another Watch set, P-Bandai was quick to announce the follow up: Another Watch Vol.2 was just recently revealed.

Another Watch Vol.2 will feature the second batch of Another Riders: Another Gaim, Another OOO, Another Den-O, and finally Another W along with two more yet to be announced Another Riders.

No release info was given at the time of this writing, though pre-orders are expected to go live December 3rd 2018. If the first set is anything to go by, we could expect a similar price point of 3,240 yen. Stay tuned, and we’ll provide you with more info as it becomes available.

Toei has released the first full trailer for the upcoming Kamen Rider crossover film, Kamen Rider: Heisei Generations Forever!

This epic crossover features a clash of all Heisei-Era Kamen Riders against a threat that could change reality as we know it.

Heisei Generations Forever is currently scheduled for release on December 22 2018!

Kamen Rider Zi-O’s first big feature film is headed to theaters December 22nd with Heisei Generations Forever. The third, and supposedly final installment in the Generations trilogy. While Zi-O’s TV series has already featured a number of Another Riders and a handful of proper Rider cameos, we now know that Heisei Generations Forever will feature the debut of 3 more such creatures.

According to Cinema Today JP, we now know that Another W, Another Den-O, and a brand new Imagin linked to Another Den-O, Futaros Imagin, will all make their debut in this film. Roughly speaking it would seem the implied meaning of the Futaros’ name is negative or minus, so this character makes sense to be the contract Imagin of Another Den-O (too bad Negataros was already taken!). But time will tell if this character is or is not, another foil for our heroes.  Both Another W & Den-O are sporting some truly wicked designs as previous Another Riders have.

“Looks like the trump card, always comes my way.”

The race for the T2 Gaia Memories is on! As Kamen Rider Eternal and NEVER descend on Fuuto, Kamen Rider W will be temporarily out of commission! With Phillip captured, can Shotaro save the day on his own? With a little help from the Boss, this hardboiled hero will take on a new role, as Kamen Rider Joker!

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Joker is yet another lavish do-over from Bandai. Chipping away at the forms and variations of Kamen Rider W in their premium renewal line, Joker was released as a Tamashii Nations event exclusive last year. It was also made available in mid-2018 via the Tamashii Web Shop. While it’s undoubtedly an easy repaint, and definitely has a dearth of accessories, it’s certainly a form that brings it’s style A-game.

While we’ve attached the full 55+ image gallery to this post, you can also read up on our full review Kamen Rider Joker. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full thread.

With Kamen Rider Zi-O heralding the end of the Heisei Era for Kamen Rider, and in commemoration of the 20th Heisei Rider himself, Tamashii Nations has announced the S.H. Figuarts Heisei Riders Rising Project!

The Rising Project announcement promises the reveal of 3 new Heisei Rider figuarts in the near future. The first of these 3 riders will be revealed on August 24th. Currently speculation is running wild as to what these 3 figures will actually be. Will this be Kiva’s time? There’s Zi-O which begins airing next month  as well, so now would be an ideal time to reveal his first figuart. Then there’s the possibility that 1 or more of these figures could be a Shinkocchou Seihou renewal of an out of date release like OOO, Fourze, or even Faiz.

Exactly who these 3 Heisei Riders are, is something we’ll be watching closely in the coming weeks. So we’ll be sure to keep the community up to date!
