“Wake up!” 

Struggling with the duality of his human & Fangire parentage, Wataru Kurenai protected humanity from his own monstrous kind. As Kamen Rider Kiva, Wataru fought for justice, but he also needed a ride. Built by the mysterious Motobat the 16th, and entrusted to Kiva by Kivat Bat III, the Machine Kivaa is a mighty machine worthy of the Fangire king!

Tamashii Nations has done Kamen Rider Kiva fans an incredible solid with this release. The Machine Kivaa Option Parts Set gives fans everything they could possibly want to compliment their Kiva collections. Not only do we get the the Machine Kivaa, a stylish modification of the base Honda Shadow 750 model, but also Kiva’s other signature props. The regal throne we see Kiva sat upon often, particularly in the series opening, as well as the Bloody Rose. The magnificent violin created and played by Wataru’s father, Otoya. This set really is a love letter to a show that’s often derided, but is absolutely one of the most stylish series out there.

Premium Bandai Japan has revealed the next major release for the SH Figuarts toyline- and it’s something Kamen Rider fans have been looking forward to for quite a while!

At long last, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid gets his final form release- Hyper Muteki Gamer! This golden invincible fighter comes with a set of interchangeable hands and its signature weapon- the Gashacon KeySlasher.

SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer is currently scheduled for release in May 2020! The price is a modest 8580 Yen before shipping & handling.

under Super Sentai

A new list has recently been posted online apparently revealing the first wave of merchandise for the 44th Super Sentai series- Mashin Sentai Kirameiger!

While no images are yet available for any of the merchandise in question, the list does match rumors currently circulating for the new series.

Here is what we can gather about Kirameiger from the toy listings:

*The series will have 5 core Rangers- Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, & Pink.

*The main Mecha for the series will be Vehicles! This first quarter lineup consists of Mashin Roller, Mashin Lifton, Mashin Carry, Mashin Base & Mashin Armed! A secondary Mecha named King Express is also teased.

Based on the available information, this could very well be a “back to basics” sort of Sentai after several years of experimentation.

The full details of Mashin Sentai Kirameiger should be released very soon, so stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this new chapter in Super Sentai history!

This is the end!

Two Earths, a single future. To save his world Sento has gambled everything on the power of Pandora’s Box. Opening a bridge between universes, and using Evolt’s energy as the catalyst, Sento seeks to fuse the two worlds to save them both. To create a New World, without Evolt. And with Ryuga’s help, one last experiment to save humanity begins. Gold & Silver, Rabbit & Dragon, Sento AND Ryuga. Build’s final transformation, his Trial Form is born! With the unstable power of two Kamen Riders, can Sento save the New World he wishes to build?

Trial Form is an absolutely stunning repaint & remold of the solid Rabbit/Tank release of Build. Released as a Tamashii Nations 2019 exclusive (alongside Seihou Diend), this gorgeous figure is a must have addition to any Build collection. And that’s not simply because it represents the ultimate power of Sento & Ryuga’s friendship, but because it also includes the Pandora Box! This accessory has been demanded by Build collectors since the show was still airing, and now that it’s finally here maybe you can stage your own 3-sided war for it’s power in your collection.

We’ve got a full 70+ image gallery after the jump, as well as our review of the S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Trial Form. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the thread.

UPDATE 8:45 PM EST – Toys are not being reissued as a part of the show coming back to South Korea.

In a pretty odd turn of events, South Korea is set to see it’s third out with Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger in 2020! This news comes straight from Yong San Power Rangers event, which you can see a video of HERE from youtube channel [림호]Tokusatsu. Gaoranger, like many sentai, has a bit of an odd history in South Korea. Super Sentai had been imported to the country since 1989 with Flashman. However in 1994, the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was imported and dubbed in Korean as “Invincible Power Rangers”.

The trend of Power Rangers being imported and dubbed continued until 2003 when Power Rangers Wild Force was brought in as “Power Force Rangers”. After this point Super Sentai was directly imported and dubbed again. Jump to 2010 and Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger was at last imported in it’s original form and dubbed over as “Power Rangers Jungle Force”, in lieu of airing Shinkenger, which at the time was seen as too Japanese for the Korean market. Now, it looks as though South Korea will once again be seeing Gaoranger next year in it’s Jungle Force dub, set to stream on the Korean Power Rangers youtube channel!

Kamen Ride! Wow! Decade! Decade! Decaaaaaade!

With Tsukasa Kadoya’s arrival, the world is always in danger. The Destroyer of Worlds has witnessed or instigated the destruction of many, for better or worse. And allying himself with the Time Jackers raises many questions. But entrusting his power to Sougo, raises even more. Decade Ridewatch in hand, Zi-O will don the Decade Armor to face both Kamen Rider Decade, as well as Ohma Zi-O! Will the power of the 10th Heisei Rider be enough, or will Sougo have to take some of the power of Ohma for his own, just to survive?

Joining the Zi-O line up of S.H. Figuarts, Decade Armor gives us our 4th Sougo in the line. And although I’ve yet to handle Zi-O II, each is just unique enough from the last to give it a slightly different feel and personality. While much of this mold is engineered similarly to previous outings, this one is more or less all new. Armed with the Ride Heisaber, this powered up form may make a great addition to your Zi-O collection.

We’ve got a full 60+ image gallery after the jump, as well as our review. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the thread.

“You fools could never hope to defeat me. Do you know why?
Because I was born to be king!”

50 years from now, there are no Kamen Riders. The world is ruled by one all-powerful overlord of time & space, Ohma Zi-O! Taking as his own the power of the 20 Heisei Riders, Sougo Tokiwa became king. But in another time Kamen Rider Zi-O was a hero. And even though that young Sougo is still on the path to becoming Ohma, can he change fate? Destined to have the powers of the demon king, and with the fate of all worlds in the balance, will Sougo destroy time itself? Or will he choose to rebuild everything? The day of Ohma is here!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ohma Zi-O is another gorgeous addition to the Zi-O subline. While primarily a retread of the Zi-O/Geiz mold, for this outing the body is decked out in opulent gold paint and lavish sculpted details. This is a stunning piece to add to your Zi-O collection, even if the accessory count is rather low. Ohma is armed with 3 sets of hands as well as the Ryuki, Kiva, & Kuuga Ridewatches. The overlord of your collection arrives in this gallery!

Clocking in at 75 images, you can view our full gallery of Ohma Zi-O after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation” Forums at the bottom of this post to be taken to our full review thread. Next time we’ll be back to action so to speak, with another overlord from the future; Lord Drakkon!

The annual Tamashii Nations event is under way and as ever, there are a plethora of new items on display. Just as with every Tamashii event, an item being displayed does not necessarily indicate that it will be released however. A number of new items are currently listed as “Display Only” as well.
