Toei has put up the first teaser trailer for this winters’ Kamen Rider theatrical project- a unique double bill for Kamen Rider Saber and Kamen Rider Zero-One!
Originally, the Kamen Rider Zero-One movie was scheduled for release in Spring 2020 but this release was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Exact plot details for both films remain unconfirmed at time of writing.
Kamen Rider Saber: The Movie & Kamen Rider Zero-One: The Movie will be released on December 18 2020!
Just ahead of the Tamashii Nations 2020 event due to take place between 6th and 8th November, Bandai have announced S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Realizing Hopper as a sneak preview! Based on the titular Rider’s appearance during his showdown with Kamen Rider Horobi/Ark Scorpion in the show’s final episode, Realizing Hopper features a slightly altered deco and also comes with the Realizing Hopper Progrise Key and a designated display stand. This is a commemorative item for the event, so is only available for a limited time.
The figure will retail for 3300 yen and release April 2021, with the preorders open from the 6th to the 9th November.
Toei has released new teasers confirming the updated release dates for the Super Sentai and Kamen Rider theatrical releases, previously postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
And for the first time in many years, the properties will no longer appear on a double-bill! Each tokusatsu film will have a separate release.
*The first project on schedule, Kamen Rider Zero-One The Movie will feature Aruto face off against a new foe, Kamen Rider Eden to determine the fate of the world. This film is set for release on December 18 2020.
*Next, Mashin Sentai Kiramager The Movie will be released in Spring 2021. Exact plot details have not been confirmed at time of writing but the film is set to feature a sparkling new adventure.

Not to be outdone by the reveals of the Shinkocchou Seihou Kuuga’s today, we’ve also got fresh reveals of 3 new Tamashii Nations 2020 exclusives!
Everyone’s favorite Ultra (who’s commemorating his 10th anniversary) Ultraman Zero, will be receiving an S.H. Figuarts Special Color Version release for the event. Decked out in metallic paint applications and including a specialized Tamashii stage, this release will retail for 5500 yen.
Next up is the event exclusive release from Kamen Rider Zero-One! After Shining Assault Hopper was revealed earlier this year, the question remained whether or not the infrequently seen standard Shining Hopper would be released as well. Look no further than this Tamashii Nations exclusive of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Shining Hopper! This figure will retail for 6000 yen.
And last but not least, Tamashii Nations is reaching into the past for this special release. Commemorating their own Tamashii Nations 2014 S.I.C. exclusive as well as the even older Tamashii Festival 2011 S.H. Figuarts exclusive is the brand new S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider OOO TaMaShii Combo for Tamashii Nations 2020! This special OOO form melds the powers of Ankh’s Taka Core Medal, with Momotaro’s Imagin Medal, and the Shocker core medal to create the living logo of Tamashii Nations! This release retails for 6500 yen.
Tamashii Nations is scheduled for Q4 2020 and as usual is likely to be held in October or November. As event exclusives these 3 releases will be a bit more difficult to come by than the average web exclusive, but they are likely to be released later as lottery items via Tamashii Web as well. As official images are release we’ll be sure to share them with the community.

“There’s only one thing that can stop you, and that’s me!”
In a world where the life of the average human has been made easier by robotic helpers called Humagears, Hiden Intelligence is at the forefront of technological advancement. But with the passing of their founder, Korenosuke Hiden, the duties & responsibilities of president have passed on to his grandson, Aruto. Authorized to use the Progrise Keys & Zero-One Driver, this young man will fight to build a world where Humans & Humagers can coexist and smile together, as Kamen Rider Zero-One!
The Reiwa Era has begun with the first fantastic release from Kamen Rider Zero-One! I must say that Rising Hopper is an excellent design that’s translated to figure form rather perfectly. Exuding personality and functionality, Zero-One really has knocked it out of the park with it’s first release. While this figure isn’t armed with much aside from additional hands (his weapons comes with Vulcan) it’s undeniable how stylish and realistic this figure looks in person. And of course there’s that added bonus of black light reactive parts to drool over!
We’ve assembled 60+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Rising Hopper for your viewing pleasure. You can view the entire gallery and read through our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we have the formula for another great gallery with Build Tank Tank Form!
While Kamen Rider remains on hiatus for the time being, production details for the current series Kamen Rider Zero-One continue as normal.
Because of this, we now have some new images of the newest configuration for Zero-One: Kamen Rider Zero-Two!
This new form is created by combining the Hiden 01 Driver with a new device called the 02 Driver Unit. A new Progrise Key called the 02 Progrise Key will unlock Kamen Rider Zero-Two when used with the new Driver configuration.
Be sure to join in our Ongoing Kamen Rider Zero-One discussion thread to share your thoughts & fears on this unique new form!
“Forcerise!”
In a world ruled by Humagears, Aruto Hiden has no allies. Or at least, not many. With the Zero-One Driver taken, and his options limited, a mysterious stranger gifts him the trump card he needs. A forceriser! Thus a new and powerful form is born, Kamen Rider Zero Zero-One!
Just revealed by Tamashii Nations Kamen Rider Zero Zero-One (001) is about to join the S.H. Figuarts line up of Hiden, AIMS, and ZAIA Kamen Riders. Set for release in October 2020 Zero Zero-One will retail for 6600 yen. The figure will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive as well. Check back with us to see further updates on this release in the coming months!
