“Heat! Metal”!

The two-tone detectives of Fuuto, Shotaro & Phillip, are best known for their traditional Cyclone/Joker combo as Kamen Rider W! But when the situation changes, W adapt’s. A ferocious fight? Fang/Joker rampages! Need a special trick shot? Luna/Trigger has you in the cross-hairs! And on their very first case, against the T-Rex Dopant, another mix did the trick. Kamen Rider W Heat/Metal brings the heat and the force to wield it!

Shinkocchou Seihou Heat/Metal really does bring the heat. As the now 7th outing of the Seihou W mold, it’s still keeping things interesting. Exquisite paint apps and finely sculpted features can go a long way to keeping something from feeling stale. The inclusion of a wide variety of hands and a few versions of W’s Metal Shaft really go a long way to making this figure impressively expressive too. A few choice flame effect parts would have made this release perfect, thankfully I had quite a few spares to use for my review!

The premiere of the 43rd Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger is drawing closer and closer! And today we have some new images from the second wave of toys for this exciting new series!

These are the KishiRyu belonging to Ryusoul Green & Ryusoul Black, who are not expected to appear with their fellow RyuSoulgers at the beginning of the series.

Each KishiRyu adds a different ability to the RyuSoulgers’ arsenal-

*Ryusoul Green’s TigerLance is a powerful sabertoothed creature that attacks with teeth and claws. TigerLance combines with KishiRyuOh to create KishiRyuOh TigerLance and grant powerful swordsmanship abilities.

*Ryusoul Black’s MilNeedle is a spiked dinosaur that attacks by throwing projectiles. MilNeedle combines with KishiRyuOh to create KishiRyuOh MilNeedle with incredible punching skills.

Both KishiRyu are currently scheduled for release in April 2019!

Yes you read that right, Ryusoul Red of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger will indeed be getting a Ridewatch for the Kamen Rider Zi-O toyline! Though not the first time a Super Sentai member has been inducted into a Kamen Rider toyline (the Super Sentai Wizard Ring) or vice versa (the Den-Liner Ressha) these little crossovers of gimmicks are always really cool.

The Ryusoul Red SG Ridewatch will be made available exclusively through Uniqlo stores in Japan. 3/21 is the start of the giveaway campaign, customers will have to buy two Kamen Rider Zi-O graphic T-Shirts to qualify for it. Quantities will be limited, so expect this Ridewatch to increase in value on the secondary market pretty quickly in a similar fashion to the Cross-Z & GenM Ridewatches. This is an SG Ridewatch, not DX, but it of course will still work just fine with the DX Ziku Driver.

“I think I was destined to choose this path.”

Little did Sougo Tokiwa know, his childhood dreams of being a great king were prophetic in a way. Should they ever come to pass, they could create the desolate future ruled by Sougo’s own evil self, the overlord Oma Zi-O! In the present, Sougo journey’s down the path of the overlord, defeating Another Riders as Kamen Rider Zi-O! But with the Day of Oma approaching, will Zi-O become the evil overlord? Or will Kamen Rider Geiz, the Time Jackers, Kamen Rider Woz, or even Kamen Rider Decade, manage to contain his power? Time, will tell…

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O kicks off this year’s new Figuarts sub-line as a pretty solid release. While assuredly many will take issue with this figure’s lack of accessories (which are included with the Ride Striker) this figure has a lot to offer and lots of personality. Zi-O is a well rounded, well articulated figure that fits in fantastically with mainline figuarts as well Shinkocchou Seihou releases. Though Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva still hasn’t been released, seeing Zi-O with his fellow lead riders is still quite the sight. And if you happen to have a DX Time Mazine as I do, you’ll find that Figuarts Zi-O works quite well with him. Zi-O also compliments Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade marvelously.

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery to this post, but you can also check out the full review of Kamen Rider Zi-O by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, things heat up, with our gallery of Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Heat/Metal!

“Woz! WOZ!”

It’s that time of the month and Figure Oh scans are making their way out into the wild. This month, thanks to twitter user @Tesuka_ we have our very first look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Woz!

In a rather surprising turn of events it would appear that Kamen Rider Woz is a retail release. This means that all 3 main riders from Zi-O will be non-exclusive releases. This stands in contrast to last season, as Kamen Rider Build himself was a retail release while Cross-Z, Grease, and Rogue all wound up as exclusives. So Zi-O is taking a play out of Ex-Aids book by making the primary 3 retail releases at least.

Woz is headed to collectors in July 2019 for 5940 yen. Keep an eye out for a full set of official images as well as pre-orders in the near future.

“Hell Bros. At your service.”

The orphans Fu & Rai Washio were indoctrinated by Juzoburo Nanba, and raised to be weapons for the 3-sided war for the nation. Making use of the Nebula Steam Gun, the Washio brothers became Engine Bros & Remocon Bros! However, faced with the continued evolution of the Kamen Riders that threaten their master’s will, Fu Washio plays his trump card. Uniting the power of the Engine & Remocon Gears, Fu becomes Hell Bros!

S.H. Figuarts Hell Bros is another very familiar release for Build collectors. Using the iconic Night Rogue/Blood Stalk body for a base, Hell Bros builds on this with the gear theme inherited from the Bi-Kaisers. A gorgeous two-tone villain Hell Bros is armed with the versatile transforming Nebula Steam Gun system. If you have any experience with Rogue & Stalk, then you know this will be another great addition to your collection.

Twitter user @shin753315 has just shared a discovery that is sure to excite many fans of Kamen Rider Build. Like the recent Cross-Z New World, we’re about to get another V-Cinema taking place on this fresh Earth, with Kamen Rider Grease New World!

In the video attached to shin’s tweet, we can see that there’s a deluxe DVD/Blu Ray pack slated for release the same month as the standard edition, both due in November 2019. The deluxe set is retailing for 10,000 yen and will be sold through Premium Bandai. The deluxe pack will also include a new DX Full Bottle for Grease.

More details are scarce at the moment but as further information becomes available we’ll update this story.

“Wake up Cross-Z! Get great dragon!”

Unable to transform, Ryuga Banjou can only watch helplessly as Kazumi & Gentoku struggle against Kamen Rider Evol. But the battle before him can also push Ryuga beyond his limits. Stealing the Evol Dragon Bottle that was made from his own DNA, Banjou will unlock the power necessary to evolve even further. Reborn with even greater strength Ryuga has become Kamen Rider Great Cross-Z!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Great Cross-Z is a very basic but definitely well executed repaint of the original Kamen Rider Cross-Z release. A gorgeous figure now decked out in an Evol themed color scheme, Great Cross-Z is a perfect companion piece to your Build collection and fantastic stand-in if you missed out on the original Cross-Z Figuart. Luckily this release also comes pack with all the same accessories as the first, so you won’t miss out on any of the extra hands or that sweet Beat Crosser. As a huge fan of the show, I’m really pleased to have Great Cross-Z and it’s getting me even more pumped for the upcoming Cross-Z Magma!

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery to this post, but you can also check out the full review thread for Great Cross-Z by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with another Build gallery for S.H. Figuarts Hell Bros!

After some early listings, we now have our first images from the second quarter of Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

This is our first look at the 43rd Super Sentai’s SIXTH Ranger, Ryusoul Gold! This RyuSoulger has a gold base costume but with navy blue highlights instead of the silver seen on the core five. His personal Kishiryu is a Mosasaurus.

Ryusoul Gold’s unique henshin device is the Mosa Changer– a gun that is powered by the Ryusouls. His signature weapon is known as the Mosa Blade which can combine with the Changer for more powerful attacks.

But Gold isn’t the only newcomer in these scans! A new Kishiryu has been revealed- DimeVolcano! This Dimetrodon based Mecha is able to combine with KishiRyuOh and increase its firepower. DimeVolcano also brings a unique Ryusoul- the MeraMera Cho RyuSoul– that gives the Ryusoulgers special upgrade armor.

Definitely some exciting things on the horizon for the 43rd Super Sentai Series! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger reveals!
