“This Zero-One Driver’s different from the usual one.”

In one world the life of the average human has been made better by Hide Intelligence’s Humagears. When their founder, Korenosuke Hiden, passed away the responsibilities of president passed on to his grandson, Aruto. Authorized to use the Progrise Keys & Zero-One Driver, he fought to build a world where Humans & Humagers could coexist, as Kamen Rider Zero-One! But in another world, where Humagears exterminate humans, Aruto is on the run. His company lost, his driver taken, teaming up with Kamen Rider Zi-O, and relying on a Forceriser given to him by a mysterious stranger, Aruto fights to bring his world back and begin a new generation of heroes as Kamen Rider Zero Zero-One!

Zero Zero-One is Aruto’s movie exclusive form from Reiwa: The First Generation. The S.H. Figuart of this design is much like the actual suit, an amalgam of parts from multiple characters. Zero Zero-One features a mix of body parts from Kamen Rider Horobi, as well as a surprising number of parts carried over or slightly remolded from Build villain Night Rogue and vis various remolds, all while featuring a brand new Zero-One head sculpt. And while this release doesn’t come with much, only a few pairs of hands, it’s a striking design that’s sure to accent your ever growing Zero-One Figuarts collection.

You can check out the full gallery & review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero Zero-One in the thread linked below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And remember, commenting in this gallery thread will qualify you for one (1) additional entry in our annual TOKU TOY BOX giveaway! Offical rules HERE.

under Super Sentai

Toei has officially registered some merchandise trademarks for the 45th Super Sentai series, Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger!

At time of writing, we do not have images of the toys in question but these names may provide some insight into the upcoming series.

*First up is the apparent Mecha for the Zenkaiger, Zenkai-Oh! Based on initial rumors, this will be a five-piece combination.

*Next is an item called the GearTlinger– supposedly a fusion of the characters for Gear and Gatling. This appears to be the Zenkaigers’ signature weapon.

*Finally, there is a listing for Sentai Gear! This seems to be the series’ collectible gimmick; based on previous years it seems very likely Toei will use this line to celebrate the past Super Sentai in this anniversary line.

Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this new entry in Super Sentai history!

under Kamen Rider

Fan-favorite series Kamen Rider OOO is celebrating its 10th Anniversary, and Toei has announced even more merchandise releases to mark the occasion!

The 10th Anniversary DX OOO Driver is priced at 9350 Yen while the DX OOO Medal Set will cost 5280 Yen. Both sets are scheduled for release in March 2021!

Even with a healthy amount of previous releases mixed in, that’s quite the stack of new reveals from the event. There’s a magnificent display of older releases surrounding the entire rider display that essentially adds up to most if not all of the regular Rider releases from the last decade. It’s an impresssive sight to behold and one that we don’t have the time to list out every individual figure for. We’re sure that more will be revealed through out the weekend though so be sure to stick with us for all your updates from Tamashii Nations 2020!

Following up on our reporting from Tamashii Nations 2020 on the display of previously revealed and newly unveiled Ultraman S.H. Figuarts, Bandai has also dropped a couple massive reveals. While these items are currently listed as “Display Only”, we have our very first looks at two new possible additions to the long running Soul of Chogokin line from two Metal Hero series!

First up is the one which began it all, hailing from 1982’s Space Sheriff Gavan is the Electronic Star Beast Dol Dragon and the Giran Saucer! While the prototypes on display do not currently give us a look at the combined Dol Giran mode, we can probably infer the transformation gimmick in such a comprehensive release as an SOC. As is, What we see on display is a magnificent set and gives us a great sense of  scale, hewing very close to the size of the original toys based on the Tamashii Stages they’re displayed on.

And the second surprise reveal is the massive (and transforming!) planetary battleship Daileon from 1985’s Megabeast Investigator Juspion! Continuing the short lived tradition of the transforming Metal hero robo, Daileon changes from battleship to massive mecha. though we have less of a sense of scale for this release, we can see it does appear to included a small scale Juspion figure, as well as a tiny to-scale version of Juspion’s Garvin Tank!

As mentioned neither of these releases has even been confirmed for release yet, so there are no pricing or full accessory breakdowns to be known at this time. These could very well join the long list of prototypes locked away in Bandai’s vault. But for now, we hope to see much more of these two exciting reveals. Keep it tuned to TokuNation for more updates from Tamashii Naitons 2020!

Don’t say no – just live more!

One of the most successful lines (in terms of merchandise) for Kamen Rider in the last decade – Kamen Rider Gaim – is making the leap from DX toys to CSM and our wallets couldn’t be more afraid!  Before we begin – what is CSM?  It stands for Complete Selection Modification.  It is basically your DX toys on nerd-steroids to make them as identical to the show as possible and usually with a lot of added features as well.  Those nerd-steroids come with an increased price-tag making these items truly for the ultimate collector and not the casual passerby.

Announced and revealed today – the CSM Sengoku Driver. And while today’s announcement probably didn’t offer Kamen Rider Gaim fans everything they wanted in one shot it does offer quite a lot.  Let’s look at the details and digest them so we’re all on the same page.

CSM Sengoku Driver – Kamen Rider Gaim (March 2021)

  • CSM Sengoku Driver (silver belt)
  • Orange, Kachidoki, Kiwami Lock Seeds
  • Attachment piece for Kiwami/Kachidoki
  • Kamen Rider Gaim Faceplate
  • Lock Seed holder x2
  • Genesis Core
  • Yellow Belt
  • Silver  Belt
  • 35,200 yen

CSM Sengoku Driver – Project Ark (May 2021)

  • CSM Sengoku Driver
  • Blank Faceplate
  • Yellow or Silver Belt (different versions available)
  • 17,600 yen

The CSM Sengoku Driver will come with a large plethora of sound effects, voice clips, and background music from the show.  Thanks in part to an interview with the actors for Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Baron, we know that there are many theme songs from the show included in the CSM Sengoku Driver, including the fan-favorite “Ranbu Escalation” song.

Pre-orders begin later today in Japan.

Stay tuned for more details including information on a North American release via Bluefin Brands and Team Kamen Rider.
