“Fang! Joker!”

The incident known as Begins Night heralded the birth of Kamen Rider W’s first and most ferocious form. One so powerful that, for a time, Phillip & Shotaro purposefully avoided using it or they’d risk losing control entirely. Eventually mastered, this form was a force to be reckoned. And now, after nearly a decade stuck with the original figuarts release, Bandai has recreated this powerhouse form in S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Fang Joker! 

Fang Joker is yet another excellent release for the Kamen Rider W line. Another reuse of the excellent Seihou body type first introduced with W Cyclone Joker, Fang Joker is also another brilliant addition to your collection. Adding a little more ferocity to the base W body, Fang Joker also includes a plethora of hands as well as all 3 versions of the Saber he’s equipped with (Arm, Shoulder, & Maximum). If you’ve had any experience with Seihou releases for this series already, you know you’re in for a treat with this one.

We’ve attached the full 60 image gallery to this post, but you can also read our full review of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Fang Joker! by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll see you again soon with another brand new gallery!

TRIGGER, FULL BURST!

As you may recall, we’ve previously reported that a Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger and Heat/Metal figure will be coming our way, Bandai Tamashii has finally launched the pre-order page for the one of the aforementioned figures and as such we now have official images to go along with it. 

Along with his signature Trigger Magnum weapon, the Bat Shot and Spider Shock memory gadgets will be included with his accessory count, along with the usual array of alternate hand options.

S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger will be released in October as a Tamashii Web exclusive release, he’ll retail for 6,480 yen before middleman fees and shipping.

Both of these figures will be sold as Tamashii Web Exclusives so be sure to contact your favorite middleman service to secure orders for these.

Hot on the heels of recently released W Fang/Joker Tamashii Nations is teasing us with possibly (?) the next two releases in Shinkocchou Seihou line of Figuarts! Seen this week at the Tamashii Nations Akiba Showroom, AND on the official Figuarts blog, both Heat/Metal & Luna/Trigger are looking good as ever. Showroom images come way of @aaarairider on twitter.

You may recall that we had initial reveals for both of these figures waaaaaay back at Tamashii Nations 2016. Since then we haven’t heard much about them, but another pair of easy repaints feels like the kind of move Bandai would make at this point. Shinkocchou Seihou S.H. Figuart’s last several releases have been centered on Kamen Rider’s W & Kabuto, but we wonder where the line could go next. Perhaps the gorgeous S.S. Wizard prototype seen earlier this year? We hope!

What are your thoughts on this pair of beauties? Feel free to chime in the discussion thread below!

The much anticipated and teased about Tamashii Nations 2017 is finally here, and we’re kicking things into high gear with a plethora of new reveals for Ultraman and Kamen Rider.

First off, on the Shinchokou Seihou front, two of Kamen Rider W’s forms were shown: Heat Metal, and Luna Trigger. For Showa Rider fanatics, there’s the announcement of Kamen Rider 2, New Cyclone, and a Shinchokou Seihou Kamen Rider Amazon to round things off.

In addition to that, we have our first look at the next S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Build releases: Machine Builder and Kamen Rider Cross Z! For Ultraman collectors, we have a trio of Ultraman Geed-related S.H.Figuarts with Ultraman Geed Royal Megamaster, Zero Beyond, Belial Atrocious, and Imit-Ultraman.

We have new S.I.C too with the next batch of Kamen Rider Gaim S.I.Cs on display: Lord Baron, Baron Lemon Energy Arms, Kamen Rider Marika, and Ryugen Yomotsu Heguri Arms are present. Finally, Tamashii Lab’s next product was revealed to be a replica of Anhk as a floating arm.

Tamashii Nations will be an ongoing event, so there’ll be more announcements over the course of the weekend. So stay tuned, we’ll continue to provide more info as it’s made avalaible.

It’s a Double whammy of Kamen Rider W merch today, to go alongside the updated Seihou Fang Joker info from earlier, P-Bandai has a left-field announcement for us with a replica of the blank book Phillip uses to gain access to the Gaia Library in the show.

One page of the book will contain a quote from the character aside from that, no other release info is known. Pre Orders for this product will begin March 2018.

Update:

Thanks once again to @_erasu the book will apparently come with two covers: The Phillip’s Book cover and a Joker cover. In addition, a bookmark in the shape of a Gaia memory will also be included.

Kamen Rider Climax Fighters was announced not too long ago for the Playstation 4. It’s a fighting game featuring all titular 19 Hesei-era Kamen Riders – from Kamen Rider Kuuga to Kamen Rider Build. Are there more? Possibly – we have to wait and see. But the big news coming today, courtesy of Playstation Lifestyle, is that Kamen Rider Climax Fighters will be the first main Kamen Rider game to receive localizations throughout Asia.

Why is that news? Well, because Bandai Namco localizations in certain areas of Asia – such as Southeastern Asia – receive the game in English. That’s right – it looks as if Bandai Namco will release the game in Southeastern Asia in the English language (text-wise, at least).

While a release of Kamen Rider Climax Fighters in the West is absolutely slim at best, a chance for fans to import the game in English at the very least seems high. We’ve included pictures courtesy of Playstation Lifestyle in the article so check it out!

We’ve all been expecting some kind of easy repaint for the Tamashii Nations 2017 event this year. Past entries included Dark Kabuto, Baron Lemon Energy and Ryuki Blank Form to name a few. Thanks to a video recorded by twitter user @ta_nobiol we have confirmation of this year’s exclusive!

This year’s Tamashii Nations 2017 show exclusive will be S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Joker! While we have no way of knowing what accessories this figure will come with, the video does confirm that his retail price will be 6000 yen.

Tamashii Nations 2017 will be held from December 1st-3rd!

The butterfly effect of Bandai’s premium & popular Shinkocchou Seihou sub-line of Figuarts has finally reached Rider Machines! While not officially labeled as an S.S. release, the brand new S.H. Figuarts Hardboilder is undoubtedly a renewal meant to replace the original release of this bike.

Hardboilder is of course the faithful ride of Kamen Rider W, and a perfect companion piece to the Shinkocchou Seihou W Figuart released last year. While this renewal definitely won’t be as significantly different from the original as many others have been in recent years, it is on the whole a more accurate and well proportioned update.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can see the full 40 image gallery after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a brand new gallery from Space Sheriff Gavan!

A mysterious new teaser image hidden in this months’ magazine scans appears to hint at a return for the detective duo Kamen Rider W!

Originally airing from 2009-2010, Kamen Rider W has long been considered a beloved series among Rider fans. W’s head actor Renn Kiriyama has campaigned several times for a V-Cinema revival but until now seemed to have no success.

Sadly, no details about this new Kamen Rider W project are available at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further Kamen Rider developments!
