It’s been a very long time since Bandai Japan first spoke on a potential CSM Genesis Driver, the belt used by a number of characters in the Kamen Rider Gaim series.  And after a couple of years, Bandai Japan is finally ready to showcase and open pre-orders.  Today, they did a Kamen Rider Gaim CSM Genesis Driver announcement, revealing three different item releases.

  • CSM Genesis Driver
  • CSM Genesis Driver Buckle Edition
  • CSM Energy Lock Seed Set

More details will be released on October 6th (October 5th in the US).  The previous CSM Kamen Rider Gaim items were released in the United States but we don’t have any information from Team Kamen Rider on whether or not this item will also see release in the United States.

Stay tuned for more info!

In a surprise announcement, Team Kamen Rider shared the news that the Kamen Rider Gaim – Great Soccer Battle!

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!!!!!

It’s time for another episode of Talkin Toku!

Join Kickback, Den-O, Sentai Tamashii, and special guest host Danny as they discuss their thoughts and feelings about the upcoming finale of one of the most well-received toku series in recent memory – Kamen Rider Gaim!

In the toy talk segment they discuss the hunt for Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5″ Figures at their local Walgreens, as well as their reactions to the Kamen Rider Gaim Overlord weapons in the upcoming release of the Arms Change Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomi Arms figure.

Conversation is lost when … well, the graphic in the story will make a lot more sense. Around 20 minutes in the fact we’re unscripted with no clear direction rears its ugly head as conversation changes to Chuck E Cheese?

But take a listen – find out who is right, who is wrong, and who was way off base when the Kamen Rider Gaim live stream airs later this afternoon and releases via sub groups next week!

There’s also a bit of talk about Power Rangers Dino Charge, a small wishlist for the 2015 Super Sentai series, and more stuff!

Enjoy the episode and we’ll see you on the flip side of the series finale of Kamen Rider Gaim in a little over a week!
