“The elevation increases as the bullet is fired.”

For as long as Fuwa Isamu could remember, his past was ruined by the berserk Humagears of Daybreak Town. Holding a grudge against them all because of this, Fuwa dedicated himself to their total destruction as a member of A.I.M.S. However, this was all a plot by president Gai Amatsu of ZAIA, to drive Fuwa to hate Humagears even more as he became a Kamen Rider. But with the knowledge of his true past revealed, and both he and Naki free of ZAIA’s control, Fuwa is ready to continue fighting free of the anger that drove him. Instead Fuwa will help defend Humagears with Aruto Hiden & Izu. He will realize his own dream, to truly be Kamen Rider Vulcan!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Vulcan is the second release in the Zero-One subline and so far these releases are shaping up very very nicely. Like Zero-One, Vulcan is an articulation dream, capable of striking poses in natural and appropriately exaggerated fashion. While he doesn’t have the same kind of fun black light gimmick as Aruto, Fuwa makes up for that with a wealth of accessories. Like his waist mounted (and functional!) Shot Riser, the 4 sets of hands, his own Attache Shotgun, and the Attache Calibur for Zero-One! This is an incredibly well rounded release.

We’ve assembled 50+ images for our gallery of S.H Figuarts Kamen Rider Vulcan Shooting Wolf and you can see them all in the full gallery thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we’ll be back with a brand new gallery from the world of the Makai Knights & Garo with Dark Knight Kiba!

“The steel blue warrior! Tank Tank!”

In his berserker Hazard Form, Sento Kiryu can gain the upper hand in any fight. To contain this uncontrollable power, Sento develops a new Full Bottle to channel his strength and his consciousness. With the Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle, two new divergent forms are born! One with all the speed and agility of a rabbit, the crimson speedy jumper Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Rabbit Form! The other, bearing the firepower of it’s own military force and the strength to wield it, the steel blue warrior, Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form! Representing his home Seito in the 3-round battle, Build tests his new powers against the dangerous Kamen Rider Rogue….

Joining an ever growing family of riders, villains, and alternate forms, Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form will fight for love and peace as the beefy power house of your Build collection. A retool of the fantastic Rabbit Rabbit Form, Tank Tank utilizes what has been an excellent base figuart mold throughout the series, but also adds some extra flavor to the mix with the inclusion of the massive Full Full Match Break Tank Mode parts! Armed with these and the Full Bottle Buster, Tank Tank Form is a must own for any Kamen Rider Build fan.

We’ve assembled 60+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form for your viewing pleasure. To see them all as well as read through our full review of this release, just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back later this week with another authorized gallery from Kamen Rider Zero-One with the shooting wolf himself, Vulcan!

“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!

“Black Hole! Black Hole! Black Hole!”

Evol’s strongest form finally arrives  with an S.H. Figuarts release! Originally teased quite some time ago, Evol Black Hole will be a perfect compliment to the recently released Evol Phase 1.2.3 set, which we reviewed back in March. Now that this alien menace will finally be complete thanks to the powers of the Evol Trigger, you can add him to your collection for 7700 yen in November 2020. Black Hole will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive and we recommend you don’t wait this one out, it’s likely to go up in value based on the first Evol release.
