“Hell Bros. At your service.”

The orphans Fu & Rai Washio were indoctrinated by Juzoburo Nanba, and raised to be weapons for the 3-sided war for the nation. Making use of the Nebula Steam Gun, the Washio brothers became Engine Bros & Remocon Bros! However, faced with the continued evolution of the Kamen Riders that threaten their master’s will, Fu Washio plays his trump card. Uniting the power of the Engine & Remocon Gears, Fu becomes Hell Bros!

S.H. Figuarts Hell Bros is another very familiar release for Build collectors. Using the iconic Night Rogue/Blood Stalk body for a base, Hell Bros builds on this with the gear theme inherited from the Bi-Kaisers. A gorgeous two-tone villain Hell Bros is armed with the versatile transforming Nebula Steam Gun system. If you have any experience with Rogue & Stalk, then you know this will be another great addition to your collection.

Twitter user @shin753315 has just shared a discovery that is sure to excite many fans of Kamen Rider Build. Like the recent Cross-Z New World, we’re about to get another V-Cinema taking place on this fresh Earth, with Kamen Rider Grease New World!

In the video attached to shin’s tweet, we can see that there’s a deluxe DVD/Blu Ray pack slated for release the same month as the standard edition, both due in November 2019. The deluxe set is retailing for 10,000 yen and will be sold through Premium Bandai. The deluxe pack will also include a new DX Full Bottle for Grease.

More details are scarce at the moment but as further information becomes available we’ll update this story.

“Wake up Cross-Z! Get great dragon!”

Unable to transform, Ryuga Banjou can only watch helplessly as Kazumi & Gentoku struggle against Kamen Rider Evol. But the battle before him can also push Ryuga beyond his limits. Stealing the Evol Dragon Bottle that was made from his own DNA, Banjou will unlock the power necessary to evolve even further. Reborn with even greater strength Ryuga has become Kamen Rider Great Cross-Z!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Great Cross-Z is a very basic but definitely well executed repaint of the original Kamen Rider Cross-Z release. A gorgeous figure now decked out in an Evol themed color scheme, Great Cross-Z is a perfect companion piece to your Build collection and fantastic stand-in if you missed out on the original Cross-Z Figuart. Luckily this release also comes pack with all the same accessories as the first, so you won’t miss out on any of the extra hands or that sweet Beat Crosser. As a huge fan of the show, I’m really pleased to have Great Cross-Z and it’s getting me even more pumped for the upcoming Cross-Z Magma!

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery to this post, but you can also check out the full review thread for Great Cross-Z by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with another Build gallery for S.H. Figuarts Hell Bros!

After some early listings, we now have our first images from the second quarter of Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

This is our first look at the 43rd Super Sentai’s SIXTH Ranger, Ryusoul Gold! This RyuSoulger has a gold base costume but with navy blue highlights instead of the silver seen on the core five. His personal Kishiryu is a Mosasaurus.

Ryusoul Gold’s unique henshin device is the Mosa Changer– a gun that is powered by the Ryusouls. His signature weapon is known as the Mosa Blade which can combine with the Changer for more powerful attacks.

But Gold isn’t the only newcomer in these scans! A new Kishiryu has been revealed- DimeVolcano! This Dimetrodon based Mecha is able to combine with KishiRyuOh and increase its firepower. DimeVolcano also brings a unique Ryusoul- the MeraMera Cho RyuSoul– that gives the Ryusoulgers special upgrade armor.

Definitely some exciting things on the horizon for the 43rd Super Sentai Series! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger reveals!

After the initial reveal of this figure in early January, we haven’t been offered much in the way of further updates for S.H. Figuarts Oma Zi-O. However, thanks to a new post on the official S.H. Figuarts Blog we have two new looks at the upcoming figure. While we still don’t have any sort of release or pricing details yet, we can certainly see that Oma Zi-O will be a lavish and ornate repaint of the first Zi-O Figuart.

The Figuarts Blog does mention to check back in regards to future releases, and we doubt that after seeing the figure twice now that it won’t see the light of day at some point. So as release details become available we’ll be sure to update you.

Some official images have been released for the first merchandise for the upcoming Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

This is our best look yet at the series’ Mecha, KishiRyuOh! This Mecha starts off as Ryusoul Red’s personal KishiRyu partner, Tyramigo. Thanks to the power of a unique RyuSoul (the mysterious devices that power the RyuSoulgers, resembling dinosaur heads that transform into knights), Tyramigo is able to transform into the gigantic robotic knight KishiRyuOh! This DX release will include a special Red RyuSoul for collectors.

As will all Super Sentai Mecha, true strength comes from combination! Uniting with the other KishiRyu creates brand new forms for KishiRyuOh. By combining with Ryusoul Pink’s Ankylose and Ryusoul Blue’s TriKen they create the all-powerful KishiRyuOh Three Knights!

The DX KishiRyu can be purchased in a set for all Three Knights (priced at 7800 Yen) or separately (which would cost 2600 Yen apiece for Blue & Pink; 5200 Yen for Red). All are currently scheduled for release in March 2019!

Stay tuned to TokuNation for all RyuSoulger reveals!

“Why?! Why did you kill Shizuka?!”

Once an orphan, Ginga Suzumura became an inheritor of the Zero armor before his new life was shattered by the Dark Knight Kiba. The loss of his loved ones gave Ginga, now known as Rei, the determination needed to master the Zero armor, and seek revenge. Mistaking Garo for the murderous Kiba, the two heroes clashed before uniting to defeat the dark knight. Walking a lonely path no more, Bandai has given Rei the treatment he deserves as S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Zero! 

Seihou Zero joins the previously released Garo as a much needed update for a character who’s deserved it for so long. For the first time in over a decade this character has been truly recreated in figure form. Zero brings to the line his stylish silver paint job, but also the deadly dual Ginroken. These curve blades can also combine into the massive Ginga Ginroken! A fantastic companion piece to Seihou Garo, we can only hope that more Makai Knights are on the way.

Check out our full 70 image gallery of S.H. Figuar0ts Shinkocchou Seihou Zero after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be taken to the full gallery and review. Next time we’re paying a visit to the Game Master once again!

“Kamen Ride.”

Exactly 1 month ago, Bandai’s Figuarts Blog teased the return of a popular figure to the line. Seeing yet another surge in his already immense popularity thanks to a crossover in Kamen Rider Zi-O, Masahiro Inoue’s Kadoya Tsukasa/Kamen Rider Decade is coming back to destroy collector’s wallets once again with an updated Figuarts release!

The fantastic S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade is returning in a new Neo Decadriver Version, featuring the updated accessory used by Tsukasa as of his Zi-O appearances. It’s quite likely that since this version of the figure does indeed feature the Neo Decadriver that it will also come with the back half of the Heisei Rider cards of W through Build. Other accessories, as well as specific yen pricing are not known at this time. This figure will be released in  August 2019. 

As is often the case with new reveals like this, we only have a selection of the proper official images as provided by @Tokullector. When the full listing goes up on the Tamashii Nations site we’ll update this story.

Seen displayed originally at Tamashii Nations 2018 back in October, we finally have an update on what could possibly be the final S.H. Figuarts release from Kamen Rider Amazons!

The S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha & Omega Last Judgement Set, has finally been officially announced after several months in limbo. Representing Amazon Alpha & Omega as they appeared in their final and ultimately deadly battle with one another, these figures are both decked out in literal blood splatter. They both took quite a few hits in that last fight after all. Though this set won’t bring anything else new to the table and will likely be reduced from the number of accessories each rider originally came with, it looks like it’ll be a great addition to any Amazons collection.

The Alpha & Omega Last Judgement set will be released in July 2019 for 11, 880 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. If you want to procure an order for this set, it’s best to keep an eye out with your preferred middleman service or seller in the near future.

The Tamashii Pickup reveals for the months of June & July have gone up through the Tamashii Nations website. And this month’s reveals bring us only one toku toy, but it’s certainly a good one. Hailing from the series Ultraman Ginga S is Ginga’s partner, S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Victory!

Born from the powerful Victorium Stone, Ultraman Victory has the ability to Ultrans, gaining the powers of certain Spark Dolls in his right arm as a result. The good news is that the Victory Figuart can apparently replicate this ability. Though there’s only two Ultrans shown off, they’re both pretty big winners. We now know that Victory will include the EX Red King Knuckle as well as the Shepherdon Saber! This is of course thanks to scans popping up from this month’s Figure Oh, which of course also confirms a June release for Victory at 6480 yen. Victory is also a retail release.

Could Ultraman Ginga or perhaps even Ginga Strium be on the way to accompany Ultraman Victory? Time will tell, and we’ll let you know if it does!
