Bandai Japan has offered fans a quick image of the next Kamen Rider Zi-O entry in the SH Figuarts action figure series!
The time has come for Zi-O’s upgrade form, Kamen Rider Zi-O II to receive a proper figure. The basic suit details are shown in Figuart style, with a cryptic NEXT message on the Zikan Driver.
Sadly, no price or release details have been confirmed for Zi-O II at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further SH Figuarts news!
“I feel power, overflowing.”
To stop Blood Stalk, to save Sento, to reclaim Pandora’s box, Banjou will bathe in the fires of his own rage! Born from the burnt Dragon Magma Full Bottle, Cross-Z undergoes his ultimate transformation. Let’s see just how bright this fire burns in our latest gallery, with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z Magma!!
Cross-Z Magma is a lavish repaint and retool of the fantastic Cross-Z version of the Build body type, that we’ve seen numerous times in this line. Decked out in alternating hues of metallic orange and gold paint, adorned with a number of ornate dragon faces, and equipped with the massive pair of Pyro Wings on his back, Cross-Z Magma is a fierce and striking figuart. The included Magma Knuckle which is removable from the Build Driver, and can transform, adds an extra layer of playability to this figure or any other rider you wish as well.
An amazing new SH Figuart has just been shown for Kamen Rider Gaim fans!
The radiant melon Kamen Rider Zangetsu receives a new upgrade, just in time for the Kamen Rider Zangetsu: The Stage live show release.
This is Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms! Using the legendary shogun armor, Zangetsu gains unrivaled powers. The exact circumstances behind this new upgrade remain unknown at time of writing, and while this Figuart has been officially revealed the full release details are not yet available.
Kamen Rider Zangetsu: The Stage opens TODAY in Japan, and will run until March 31 2019!
Teased for release as recently as January, S.H. Figuarts Oma Zi-O seems to finally be headed for release!
As a part of Tamashii Nations new Gold Crush sales and promotions, it seems an official announcement of Oma Zi-O is also planned. While the full set of images isn’t circulating yet, @Tokullector has shared a selection official images for Oma Zi-O. An impressive figure for sure, we know thanks to handling SHF Zi-O himself earlier last month, that this should be a solid release.
This means in the next 24 hours we should have confirmation of the release date and price as well. Check back here for that update!
“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.
After tonight’s episode of Kamen Rider Zi-O a new Premium Bandai release was just announced. The DX Mirai Driver set comes with one DX Mirai Driver (a remold of the DX Ziku Driver) and each of the future Kamen Rider’s necessary transformation trinkets:
Shinobi’s Shuriken Starter
Quiz’s Quiz Topper in both Question Mode & Symbolic Mode
Kikai’s Spannerder & Screwder
The DX Mirari Driver Set retails for 9720 yen, pre-orders begin today and run through April 8th , and the set releases in July 2019. Be sure to get in touch with your proffered middleman service or site to secure a pre-order for the set during the order window.
“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.
