Revealed this past month with magazine scans we have our first official look at yet another Tire Koukan release!

TK06 Machine Chaser is set to be released this December for 3200 yen and looks to be the complete package for this character. Included with Machine Chaser is his all-in-1 weapon the E-Circular. The Tail Whipper weapon is already built into the Circular, but additional attachments are included to create the Wing Sniper and Fang Spidey weapons! And of course the Reaper himself isn’t complete without his Break Gunner!

Joining the Tire Koukan line next month it seems TK-06 Machine Chaser will be more of an all inclusive package than we thought. Not only will he include his Break Gunner weapon but also all 3 weapons accessed from his Chaser Spider, Chaser Bat, & Chaser Cobra Viral Cores! This new image of Machine Chaser also confirms his compatibility with Kamen Rider Drive’s Tires!

So now we know that Machine Chaser can steal and use Shift Cars as recent episodes have shown, the toy demonstrates his ability to use Drive’s Tires, and we know that in the near future his bike the Ride Chaser will have a combination features with Kamen Rider Mach’s Ride Macher. What do all these bits of information amount to? We’ll find out in the coming months.

For now be sure to pick up TK-06 Machine Chaser which releases in December for 3456 yen.

A new photo has leaked out from the Kamen Rider Drive production crew, featuring the as-yet-unrevealed Kamen Rider Mach!

Mach is seen alongside the Roimude’s Grim Reaper, Machin Chaser– which seems to disprove the theory that Chase would become Mach later in the series.

DISCLAIMER- This is a behind-the-scenes shot. Any actual story details are unconfirmed by official sources at the time of writing.

Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

When the Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim Movie War Full Throttle film hits theaters there’s going to be a bonus for movie goers. When you purchase tickets for this film in Japan you’ll be given a free (while supplies last) Kamen Rider Drive Episode 0: Countdown to Global Freeze DVD Special!

This special, as the name implies, will take place before the series proper begins. The primary focus of this episode will be the day the Global Freeze happened and how that affected the world and characters we know. We’ll also see the initial Roidmudes that were subsequently destroyed by the other character spotlighted in this special, Kamen Rider Proto Drive! 

And the recently revealed Kamen Rider Drive Secret Mission: Hunter & Monster will be included with the January issue of Televi-Kun. This special focuses on a feud between the Massive Monster & Justice Hunter Shift cars while the phantom thief Ultimate Lupin is involved in a high profile kidnapping case! And if you are unable to obtain the Episode 0 DVD have no fear, the Type Televi-Kun Special includes it as well!

As is usual with these larger Tamashii events there’s a photo ban in place on a select group of items at Tamashii Nations 2014. For whatever reasons there’s always a selection of figures at these thing you just can’t take pictures of. Generally they’re off in their own areas of the show but eventually someone sneaks camera shots of what’s in there. For now at least there are no pictures or at least no decent ones of quite a few more things than we realized.

Before the show began Bandai aired a 30 minute livestream video in which a slideshow contained images of the Gaim & Drive displays. But thus far that’s all we had to go on. The list below confirms much of what could be made out in those images and includes several more we were unaware of. Here’s the full rundown of what IS at the show but can’t be photographed:

Updated with at least 1 image from the Kamen Rider Gaim display!

Kamen Rider
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed
S.H. Figuarts Tridoron & Drive Tire Sets
S.H. Figuarts Machine Chaser
S.H. Figuarts Ride Chaser
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Marika
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Sigurd
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Knuckle
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kurokage Shin
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Ichigo (strawberry) Arms
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryugen Kiwi Arms
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomotsuheguri Arms
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Mars
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kamuro
S.H. Figuarts Suika Arms Gaim Version
S.H. Figuarts Suika Arms Baron Version
S.H. Figuarts Overlord Baron
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Jam

Metal Heroes
S.H. Figuarts Janperson
S.H. Figuarts Kabutack Super Mode

That so far is all the yet to be pictured items that we know are physically at the show. That’s quite a lot of stuff. Frankly the grainy images we have seen show that the Gaim & Drive displays are huge and full of figures, really great set pieces. It would seem silly for the photo ban on those sets up to last through out the show. And the two additional Metal Heroes would be welcome among the numerous other fresh reveals yesterday. We’ll keep you posted if images for anything on this list turn up from the event.
