“I’ll let my passion burn, and crush you.”

Evolt is minutes away from total victory, harnessing the power of Pandora’s Box & the Lost Bottles, he will consume the Earth and countless more planets. Sento & Banjou must press on to fight him, but standing in their way are clones of the Hokuto Three! With only his life left to give, Kazumi will face his fallen friends one more time. But the power of Grease alone won’t be enough. Kazumi must wield the deadly Blizzard Knuckle and walk the lonely path of a hero. With frozen fists and an icy resolve, Grease becomes Kamen Rider Grease Blizzard!

Grease Blizzard joins the Build line up of Figuarts nearly a year after his debut. A very late stage one off addition to the show, it goes without saying that actor Kouhei Takeda’s incredible performance drove his character’s arc, and eventual upgrade. The Blizzard episodes (46 & 47) in particular were very powerful, and it’s wonderful to finally have a figure to represent him in that moment. Grease Blizzard is a combination of the basic Cross-Z & original Grease body molds but features two new key changes as well. The fully functional Blizzard Knuckle & a new robotic left hand, the GBZ Demolition One!

We have an icy 60 images of Kamen Rider Grease Blizzard for you to check out after the jump. Just click “discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see them, and read through our full review. The next time we visit the world of Build, we’ll be meeting the mad man himself, Kamen Rider Mad Rogue!

The sixth member of the Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger will be introduced very soon, and that means the time has come for new merchandise!

Bandai Japan has released some official images of RyuSoul Gold’s personal DX Mecha– a powerful Mosasaurus known as MosaRex! Like Tyramigo before him, this Kishiryu has a unique battle combo- the warrior Kishiryu Neptune!

MosaRex can also combine with other Kishiryu- a specific combination is revealed using the previously-released DX DimeVolcano which is known as the SpinoThunder configuration.

DX MosaRex will receive a stand-alone release costing 4500 Yen AND a double-release with DimeVolcano for 7700 Yen. Both releases will be available in July 2019!

In a Figuarts Blog update Bandai is showing off the upcoming Machine Kivaa & chair set to go with Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva. This blog post runs the spectrum of various Figuarts taking Kiva’s throne for a spin. From vintage riders like the original Gattack release along with Sasword, all the way to releases of recent years like Kivala and even Kuroto Dan.

However one surprise in this set of photos is the very first official teaser for Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Beast! Sitting upon Kiva’s chair and flanked by Seihou Wizard, Beast looks every bit as impressive as Wizard himself. A brand new mold featuring all of the same modern engineering that the Seihou line has come to be known for. No release details have been revealed yet, but it’s only a matter of time before we hear more about this possible release.

“I just can’t see myself replacing you, Zanki.”

Kamen Rider Hibiki finally joined the S.H. Figuarts line over 4 years ago. Then last year, Tamashii finally made their second addition from Hibiki’s world to this line with Kamen Rider Ibuki. And while the Oni Riders have been slow to appear in the Shinkocchou Seihou line, it looks like things are gaining momentum now! With an upcoming release for Kamen Rider Zanki on the way, we’re taking today to look at his recently released apprentice and partner, Kamen Rider Todoroki!

Todoroki is yet another insanely gorgeous Oni to add to your collection. The Hibiki mold has some minor shortcomings still, but it’s undeniable the kind of shelf presence that each successive use of it brings to the table. Todoroki like his predecessors is armed with 3 Disc Animals but more importantly the massive Ongekigen Retsurai. This incredibly ornate guitar weapon is probably one of my favorite accessories in a long time. When combined with Todoroki’s Ongekishin Raigou and with the blades extended, this is a weapon for any villain to fear!

We’ve attached the full 75+ image gallery to this post but you can also read through our full review of Shinkocchou Seihou Todoroki by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we’ll revisit the world of games and medicine with a gallery of Kamen Rider Poppy!

You may recall that around this time last year, we were all awaiting the first images of Kamen Rider Zi-O. When the first teaser silhouette did eventually surface, it was of a very generic variety. A featureless rounded silhouette that gave nothing away. It would seem now that, this type of initial teaser may become the standard, as it’s being used once again for initial Kamen Rider Zero-One solicits.

The image that’s circulating now features the sound rounded featureless generic design. And given that Zero-One will be the first Reiwa Rider, some secrecy around his finalized design is to be expected. So there’s no real information to be gleaned from this solicit. Other than that, this catalog image does confirm the collectible gimmick for this year as the “Insert Card”.

As more information becomes available for Kamen Rider Zero-One we’ll be sure to update you. Given the time of year it is, it’s only a matter of time before both the gimmick for the series and the finalized design of Zero-One leak online. This initial image came via the Candy Toy Sentai CTS Facebook page.

The sixth member of the Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger is joining the action soon, so time has come for an up-close look at the merchandise for RyuSoul Gold!

Gold’s arsenal has two unique components:

*The MosaChanger, RyuSoul Golds’ henshin device that also serves as a blaster. The DX MosaChanger release will include 2 RyuSouls– the Gold RyuSoul & the BiriBiri RyuSoul.

*The MosaBlade, RyuSoul Golds’ signature weapon- a chainsaw saber based on prehistoric ocean life. The DX MosaBlade & MosaChanger can combine for an even stronger attack- the MosaBreaker! This release includes one new RyuSoul- the MawariSoul.

Both the DX MosaChanger & MosaBlade are currently scheduled for release in June 2019!

Last week, news emerged that a reissue of sorts was planned for S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga. Details had been sparse save from the Decade Version designation it was given. Thankfully a full set of official images has just been released via Tamashii Nations.

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga (Decade Ver.) will be a part for part reissue of the original Seihou Kuuga Mighty Form with some paint differences. The shade of red used on the Decade Kuuga suit is a bit brighter while the gold accents are a bit deeper as well. This reflects the way the original Kuuga suit changed between filming for the Kuuga TV series and the Decade one. Having been repainted previously, in an attempt to color match the suit to it’s original scheme, Toei did miss the mark a little. This resulted in a subtly unique version of Kuuga for Decade, and this figure represents that.

Many collectors who missed out on the original Seihou Kuuga release will undoubtedly be happy to see this unique reissue, allowing them to finally pick the figure up for a reasonable price. Kuuga Decade Version will be out as a retail release in October for 6050 yen, which is still 650 yen more than the original release. No new accessories are included with this release.

This week we saw confirmation that the popular Shinkcchou Seihou Garo mold would be making a return in a new release as S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga Saejima Version. As it turns out though, the official images have just revealed something else about this release…

Indeed, Garo Raiga Saejima Version reproduces the armor as it was worn by Kouga’s son Raiga. This means the figure is absolutely identical to the original release aside from Raiga’s unique blue eyes. These images do confirm that this release will also include the iconic cape worn by several users of the Golden Knight’s armor on top of the obviously included hands and sword. However, the real surprise here is that this release will ALSO include another alternate head with red eyes, to create Garo Taiga Saejima Version! So you have the option to display this figure as either Raiga OR his grandfather Taiga! We suspect some multiples may be purchased by a few collectors…

Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga & Taiga Saejima Version will be released in October 2019 and retails for 9990 yen, which is a mere 90 yen more than the original release! Those new accessories are a pretty great value for that 90 yen. This figure will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive so be sure to pursue it through your preferred middleman service.

As the Kamen Rider line of S.H. Figuarts continues, inevitably older releases go up in value. This has been especially true for the incredibly popular line of Shinkocchou Seihou renewal type figuarts. To date, of the myriad Seihou releases, only Kamen Rider Kabuto has ever received a reissue and that was two years after it’s initial release. Today that may change.

In confirming new items releasing in October, Tamashii Nations has announced S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga (Decade Ver.). Kamen Rider Kuuga, or a version of him at least, played a significant role as a support character throughout the Kamen Rider Decade TV series and it’s movies. Mighty Form Kuuga was the most often seen form in Decade as well, though it should be noted that all of Decade Kuuga’s forms are identical to the original save for an additional form. So the exact nature of this “Decade Version” is unknown currently.

Does being specifically branded as the “Decade Version” allow Tamashii to circumvent some of their own self imposed rules for reissues like the Premium Color line of Dragonball figuarts? Or does this imply that the figure has some new accessories exclusive to the Kuuga version of the character? One thing to note, is the official image used to announce the figure. It’s completely new, as in, it’s not from the set of photos released for the original Seihou Kuuga orders. It would be quite odd of Tamashii to do a brand new photo shoot for a figure that has pre-existing official photos, unless there are new accessories in play. We’ll continue to report any more new information made available for this release.
