“You can see the future… But I can go beyond it.”

The Day of Ohma. The day when Zi-O would assume all his powers and rule the world, in one future. In another, Sougo Tokiwa gave up his Ziku Driver and another Kamen Rider, Geiz, would rise up to save the world. In a world where time has seemingly stopped, the True Savior was born. Now, as prophesied by White Woz, the Geiz of the present is headed towards a fateful battle with Zi-O. With the powers of the future in hand, Myokoin Geiz becomes Kamen Rider Geiz Revive!

Goretsu! Shippu! Continuing a recent trend from Tamashii Nations, the True Savior Set for Geiz Revive comes equipped with the parts necessary to recreate either of his powerful forms. By default we have Goretsu, the bulky power based form armed with the Zican Jaclaw in it’s saw form. A beast of a form with all the bulk to back up it’s blows. With some pretty easy parts swapping though you can assemble the stunning blue Shippu form. This speed based flight capable form is armed with a new form for the Jaclaw as well and it’s, a claw! Both forms have their merits but I’m happy to report that either is actually very well thought out and designed. Thankfully Tamashii is getting better and better at form swapping with S.H. Figuarts.

A silhouette of a new Kiramager Mecha was recently revealed alongside toy displays in Japan- could this be the GigantDriller in question? Only time will tell!

“Looks like we’re in the same boat!”

800 years ago the King, the first OOO, oversaw the creation of the Greeed. Given life by the Core Medals these creatures filled with immense craving, were unable to fill the voids of their beings. The Greeeds sought to consume the world of man to sate their sense of craving, but before they could they were sealed away by OOO. In the present, Eiji Hino was minding his own business when the seal on the Greeed was broken by Ankh, releasing them once more. Forever craving to be whole, only the power of the King can stop them. Intending to find a human pawn, Ankh stumbles upon Eiji and a bond is made. Handing the Driver of the king and the Core Medals over, Ankh allows Eiji to become Kamen Rider OOO! Beginning as a begrudging alliance, one of the greatest friendships in Kamen Rider history is born. Anything goes it’s coming up OOO!

Shinkocchou Seihou OOO came out at the tail end of 2019 but we’re just getting around to this figure for 2020, and I couldn’t be happier. For years the original line of OOO figuarts have irked me with their various issues, but now we have a fresh start and what a glorious one it is. A gorgeous figure that looks as though it walked right off screen, armed with the Medaljalibur, capable of combo changing with other Seihou OOO releases, and posing with the best of the best, OOO is a very welcome addition to my collection. You can see Seihou OOO TaToBa Combo together with the other 9 main OOO Combos as well as the Birth’s and even compared to the original TaToBa all in the gallery linked below!

Some new images for the next entry in the Mashin Sentai Kiramager toyline have recently been posted online!

This is our best look yet at the King Express– the second Mecha in the Kiramager lineup.

King Express is formed by fusing two KirameStones:

*The white Mashin Express
*The purple Mashin Jokai.

Through the dark energies of the Yoden Army, Mashin Jokai[/b] can also transform into a Tyrannosaurus-based Mecha known as Smog Jokai.

The DX King Express set is currently scheduled for release in April 2020!

“Even if I’m weak on my own, I must defeat you!”

The evil organization MU wants to rewrite the world! Filling their ranks with revived brainwashed villains of Kamen Rider’s past, their army grows each time they force Professor Crystal Peppler to perform this task. Subvertong their goals, Professor Peppler has revived the weakest looking Kaijin he could think of, Brain, the Roidmude! But secretly, he knows one thing, how much Brain despises people like those in MU. Those his master Heart would hate most. Mirroring the rebirth of Takeshi Hongo as the first Kamen Rider, Brain the Roidmude must become Brain the Kamen Rider!

It’s been a wild ride for the characters of Kamen Rider Drive eh? Nearly 5 years after the end of the series and one of it’s villains has been redeemed as his own hero in a 2 part mini series, and even gotten to make a cameo in the Zi-O film Over Quartzer! Even more surprising, Kamen Rider Brain has gotten the S.H. Figuarts treatment! A luxurious repaint & remold of the Drive Type Speed mold, Brain manages to elevate the mold to a new level. Draped in new techy detailing and capes to boot, Brain comes armed with a weapon borrowed from Kamen Rider Ghost, the Brain Eyeglass Blade!

You can check out our full 80 image gallery & review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Brain in the thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full thread. We’ll be back next time to count the medals 1 2 & 3, anything goes, it’s coming up Shinkocchou Seihou OOO!

“I could use a warm up actually.”

The Evol Driver. The weapon which the alien menace Evolt used to destroy Mars. A scheme that has taken over 20 years to repair and retrieve it, has finally paid off. Shedding the skin of his Blood Stalk persona, the Pandora Box is within Kamen Rider Evol’s grasp! But can the heroes of Earth and the Rider System outlast that which they were created from? Can the Kamen Riders defeat this eternal evil? Or will they only serve to make him stronger

Kamen Rider Evol is an absolutely delicious release. I was in love with this suit design when it debuted in show, and I adore it in figure form. Evol’s standard Phase 1 Cobra Form is by far the most stylish but it’s certainly tough to beat the other two forms as well. Forgoing much in the way of standard accessories other than hands, Evol instead includes all the extra parts needed to recreate his Phase 2 & Phase 3 forms, Dragon & Rabbit! A genius way to release all 3 forms at once, Tamashii Nations have outdone themselves with this delightfully wonderful villain.

We’ve attached a massive 90+ images to this post for your viewing pleasure. You can check all of them out as well as the extensive review for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Evol in the thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be be taken to the complete thread. We’ll be back soon with a gallery from Kamen Rider Drive!

Because two announcements of new Toei Spider-Man product isn’t enough for one day – here’s a third!

Figsoku.net has posted up preview images of an upcoming Super Minipla Leopardon.  For those uneducated on what Leopardon was – it was the mecha that accompanied the Toei Spider-Man character and has become quite a cult classic favorite.  A drawing was even seen in the background of the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse animated feature from 2019 and the Toei Spider-Man is heavily rumored to appear in the sequel to the film.

Here’s the rough, Google-translated version of the product details.

Commercialized Leopardon that appeared in “Spider-Man Toei TV Series” from Super Minipla!
You can transform from Marveler to Leopardon.
In addition to the Sword Vicker and Spider Protector, effect parts that reproduce the scene of storing the Spider Machine GP-7, the scene of throwing the Sword Vicker, and the scene of launching the arm rocket are also included.
It is a volume kit with a special pedestal that can decorate the marveler in flight.

Super Minipla Leopardon is set to release in August 2020 for 4,950 yen and should be available to pre-order soon.

“I, am number one.”

In a surprise reveal/confirmation, Tamashii Nations has just announced the release of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Metal Build! This villainous rider of the Kamen Rider Grease V-Cinema may appear to be a mere reuse of the Build Hazard Form release, but to sweeten the deal Tamashii has *loaded* Metal Build with extra accessories.

Not just alternate hands like Build Hazard included, but also the Kaizoku & Ressha Bottles and Lock & Dragon bottles, as well as heads to match them AND the signature weapons for each form! The Beat Crosser & Pirate Hashyar! The best part about these alternate bottles heads and weapons, is that they can accessorize your original Build Hazard Form!

The entire set will be available as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in August 2020 for 7150 yen!

After a brief teaser of this release earlier in the week, Tamashii Nations has fully revealed and confirmed release details for S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai!

It’s been a few months since a new figure from Kamen Rider Hibiki has been announced or released, the last couple being Zanki and Todoroki. So it’s refreshing to see this long overdue form finally make it’s debut in the Seihou line. Since Hibiki’s release in the line 6 years ago, it’s been hoped by fans that the difficult to procure mold would see re-release in this gorgeous form.

Now we can expect to see it finally Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai release this July for 7150 yen!
