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.

Bandai has shown off a special new SH Figuarts release that will make some Kamen Rider Build fans very happy!

This is Kamen Rider Prime Rogue– a special new form for Hiromu Gentoku made for the Hyper Battle DVD special episode of the same name. This alternate form uses the Build Driver rather than Rogues’ standard Sclash Driver transformation.

SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Prime Rogue will officially open for orders beginning October 2 2020!

“This’ll be Kurenai’s debut battle.”

It is the Summer of Training. And while mentoring Todoroki’s inconsistent practice of the Taiko drum, and even bestowing the Ongekibou to both Todoroki & Ibuki, Kamen Rider Hibiki furiously trains himself. Faster, stronger, hotter. Burning brighter than he ever has before, Hibiki must master the rhythm of his core and burn like fire! Without it, the deadly Dorotabou will continue to multiply, wreaking havoc on the local villages. With an inferno of strength raging in his heart, Hibiki explodes into a new form, Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai!

Hibiki Kurenai is the first new figure that Kamen Rier Hibiki himself has received in the 6 years since his original S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou release. And explosive is the best descriptor for. A gorgeous redeco of the base Hibiki mold, this fiery repaint brings all the articulation hallmarks of this line with it. But more than that it comes armed with a vast array of accessories and weapons like the Disc Animals, Onkaku, Ongekibou and the Onizume! As the 5th release in the Hibiki Seihou line, what can we expect next of the Oni Riders?

Next time we’re heading back to the year 2025 for our review of a powerful 2-pack, the SPD Omega Ranger & Uniforce Cycle from Hasbro’s Power Rangers Lightning Collection!

After the double reveal of Shinkocchou Seihou releases last month for Kuuga’s Pegasus & Dragon Forms, we now have official confirmation that the next Kuuga release following them is in development! In an S.H. Figuarts blog post taking a detailed look at these upcoming releases, Tamashii Nations have officially confirmed they’re moving forward with producing Kamen Rider Kuuga Titan Form as well!

Currently we have only this confirmation and the accompanying images, but we’re eagerly awaiting release info for this figure as well. After completing the circle of Kuuga’s 4 basic forms, is the next step for Bandai going to be giving us the Rising versions of Dragon, Pegasus, & Titan to compliment the previously released Rising Mighty? For now release information hasn’t been revealed for this release, but when it is we’ll update this story with it.

under Super Sentai

The Super Minipla line has offered a brief teaser for the next Super Sentai project to be released.

Based on the silhouette in question, it looks like 1984’s Choudenshi Bioman will be next, with their signature Mecha BioRobo!

Sadly, no other information regarding the Bioman Super Minipla is available at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!
