This week we saw confirmation that the popular Shinkcchou Seihou Garo mold would be making a return in a new release as S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga Saejima Version. As it turns out though, the official images have just revealed something else about this release…

Indeed, Garo Raiga Saejima Version reproduces the armor as it was worn by Kouga’s son Raiga. This means the figure is absolutely identical to the original release aside from Raiga’s unique blue eyes. These images do confirm that this release will also include the iconic cape worn by several users of the Golden Knight’s armor on top of the obviously included hands and sword. However, the real surprise here is that this release will ALSO include another alternate head with red eyes, to create Garo Taiga Saejima Version! So you have the option to display this figure as either Raiga OR his grandfather Taiga! We suspect some multiples may be purchased by a few collectors…

Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga & Taiga Saejima Version will be released in October 2019 and retails for 9990 yen, which is a mere 90 yen more than the original release! Those new accessories are a pretty great value for that 90 yen. This figure will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive so be sure to pursue it through your preferred middleman service.

As the Kamen Rider line of S.H. Figuarts continues, inevitably older releases go up in value. This has been especially true for the incredibly popular line of Shinkocchou Seihou renewal type figuarts. To date, of the myriad Seihou releases, only Kamen Rider Kabuto has ever received a reissue and that was two years after it’s initial release. Today that may change.

In confirming new items releasing in October, Tamashii Nations has announced S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga (Decade Ver.). Kamen Rider Kuuga, or a version of him at least, played a significant role as a support character throughout the Kamen Rider Decade TV series and it’s movies. Mighty Form Kuuga was the most often seen form in Decade as well, though it should be noted that all of Decade Kuuga’s forms are identical to the original save for an additional form. So the exact nature of this “Decade Version” is unknown currently.

Does being specifically branded as the “Decade Version” allow Tamashii to circumvent some of their own self imposed rules for reissues like the Premium Color line of Dragonball figuarts? Or does this imply that the figure has some new accessories exclusive to the Kuuga version of the character? One thing to note, is the official image used to announce the figure. It’s completely new, as in, it’s not from the set of photos released for the original Seihou Kuuga orders. It would be quite odd of Tamashii to do a brand new photo shoot for a figure that has pre-existing official photos, unless there are new accessories in play. We’ll continue to report any more new information made available for this release.

Confirmed via a new Figure King scan, the Shinkocchou Seihou Garo line is growing by one more new release!

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga Saejima Version will look quite familiar to most collectors. Raiga’s golden knight form is actually identical to his father Kouga’s aside from one very small detail. The eye color. Kouga’s version of the armor featured green eyes, while notably Raiga’s armor has blue eyes. Should Bandai want to triple dip on this mold they could even do Kouga’s father Taiga. His armor featured red eyes.

While we don’t have any sort of confirmation of the figure’s accessories, it’s a safe bet that they’d be identical to the first release. Though there’s some hope of some alternate inclusions as well. Otherwise this figure appears largely unchanged from the first Seihou Garo release. According to the scan Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga Saejima Ver. will be released in October 2019 for 9990 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Expect a full set of official images in the near future!

Seen most recently at the Tamashii Nations Tokyo event in April, Bandai has just confirmed release details for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gamedeus Cronus!

Taking a roundabout way to getting released, Gamedeus Cronus has been seen in one form or another at several Tamashii events. At one point only the Deus Rusher & Deus Rampart sword & shield were seen, being held by a standard Cronus Figuart. Thankfully today’s new images not only confirm it’s status as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, but also it’s October 2019 release window and 7150 yen price.

Since this is an exclusive, be sure to watch your preferred sites or middleman services for pre-orders.

The massive mecha known as the Time Mazine is the last line of defense between the rebels of 2068 & the dark overlord Oma Zi-O. In order to complete his mission of defeating Oma Zi-O, Kamen Rider Geiz travels from the future to the present day in his Time Mazine. Taking on Another Riders & Time Jackers alike, the Geiz Time Mazine is a formidable force in the fight to save the future!

The DX Geiz Time Mazine is a straight repaint of the big DX toy of the line this year, the Time Mazine. If you’ve handled the original Time Mazine, then you know exactly what you’re getting. This DX toy winds up being one of the best articulated mecha we’ve gotten in a while (take that Sentai!) and is completely interactive with the Ride Watches of the toyline. This figure is also scaled to work with the Rider Kicks RKF line and even transforms to vehicle mode. While the original Mazine came with the OOO Ridewatch, the Geiz Time Mazine includes the DX Diend Ridewatch!

We’ve attached the full gallery of DX Geiz Time Mazine to this article, but you can also read up on our full review of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Later this week, we’ll be back with the Power Rangers Beast Morphers NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster!

After being displayed last month at Tamashii Nations Tokyo, we finally have a clear look at the official images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O II! The page for this release is now live on P-Bandai.

Scheduled for an October release, Zi-O II’s retail price is 6380 yen. However, as seems to be the case more often these days, don’t let the official pics fool you. While Zi-O II definitely comes with the signature Saikyo Girade, he does *not* include the Zikan Girade. Despite what these images suggest, the only way to get a Zikan Girade is still having purchased the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Ride Striker. The two swords should still  becapable of combining, but you’ll need both of those releases to utilize it.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O II will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, so be sure to keep an eye on your favorite middleman services and retailers for pre-orders.
