“Flame, Please.”

Haruto Soma was the only survivor of a dark Solar Eclipse ritual which saw the creation of a legion of monsters known as Phantoms. Assuming the likeness and identities of those humans they emerged from, Phantom’s invade the world of humans and use magic to wreak havoc. Only one man can stop them, the one who faced despair head on in the light of the eclipse and emerged to gain the power of magic from his hope. Haruto Soma became Kamen Rider Wizard!

FINALLY, after languishing for 6 years with one of the worst S.H. Figuarts ever made, the Shinkocchou Seihou renewal line has finally tackled the rider of hope! Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style is possibly one of the most stunning and astounding figuarts I’ve ever handled. A magnificent recreation of a dynamic suit design, this stylish figure is everything that Wizard fans have ever wanted. Interchangeable Wizard Rings, a multi-mode WizardSwordGun, and fully poseable Wizard Robes(!), make this one of the nicest Seihou releases to date. But don’t just take my word for it, see 100+ images in our full gallery thread!

The full gallery is linked below, just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” below to be taken to the complete review. Remember, this gallery qualifies you for entry in our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway as well! We’ll have another Toy Box gallery coming up this week to, as we revisit the Oni Riders of Kamen Rider Hibiki in over 4 years!

“Luna/Trigger!”

Toku Toy Box continues on and it’s time we return to a windy city called Fuuto, to revisit everyone’s favorite half-boild detective! When Shotaro Hidari & Philip combine their minds they become one as Kamen Rider W! But when the situation calls for something else, new Gaia Memories give W the edge he (they?) needs to take on the Museum’s Dopants. Using the Luna & Trigger Memories, Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger is formed!

The Shinkocchou Seihou line up of premium S.H. Figuarts renewals has been giving fans the long awaited do-overs they’ve requested for over 4 years now. Kamen Rider W Cyclone/Joker was perhaps one of the best figures to come out of this renewed line, though many many good figure’s have since as well. But that mold has proven to be near perfect in any of the various ways it’s been released. Luna/Trigger is just yet another amazing use of the Seihou W mold. If you know anything about this body type at all, you know you’re going to love this figure as well.

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger to this post. You can also check out our full review thread of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time Toku Toy Box gets *HOT* with a magical gallery from Kamen Rider Wizard! 

under Kamen Rider

The next entry in the SH Figuarts ZERO sub-line has been revealed: a three-pack containing the Hokuto Three Crows of Kamen Rider Build!

For those somewhat unfamiliar with the series, the Three Crows are three enhanced soldiers with unique FullBottles that can transform into monstrous forms- they are the Castle, Stag and Owl HardSmash respectively- under the command of Kamen Rider Grease.

These 3 Crows have been brought to life as Figuarts ZEROs; non-articulate but still expertly designed figures! In addition, the Crows come with a new accessory for SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Grease- a switchable hand holding the Crows’ military tags.

The Hokuto Trio will receive a singular release- all three figures will be coming out June 2019! The price is a very modest 12960 Yen before shipping and handling.

Try not to let the fantastic news about Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger take your thoughts too far from our annual holiday giveaway. Toku Toy Box is headed back to the Armour Zone today with a ferocious new gallery of S.H. Figuarts Crow Amazon!

Given special permission to create a new Sigma Type, the 4C organization salvaged the remains of Iyu Hoshino, after her father’s deadly Amazon rampage. A weapon capable of defeating other Amazons, the only one other Sigma ever created was Jun Maehara AKA Kamen Rider Amazon Sigma. With Iyu’s rebirth, she gained strength and abilities far beyond most Amazons. While not a particularly extraordinary figure, Figuarts Crow feature’s some truly gorgeous sculpted details. Certainly more versatile than she first appears, Crow Amazon is a wonderful companion to Amazon Neo, or in fact any growing Amazons collection.

We’ve attached the full 40+ image gallery to this post but you can also read our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we head to the windy city of Fuuto once again! And if you need a refresher on the rules of Toku Toy Box then give them a quick read.

“A transformation into a more mature style, perfect for formal occasions.”

The tradition of the Hyper Battle Video (and the rider forms exclusive to them) dates all the way back to Kamen Rider Kuuga, though that special did not feature an exclusive form for him. To this date none of the various HBV exclusive rider forms have ever had figuarts  produced of them and likely never will either. In a search to rectify that case for Kamen Rider Drive, I stumbled across a fantastic artist & customizer. @relgnadam on twitter. Thankfully relgnadam had actually already created the form I was looking for, and after some correspondence agreed to recreate one more time for me, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type High Speed! For Toku Toy Box today we’re taking a look at this magnificent work of art in the full gallery below!

I’ve followed relgnadams blog for some time now, which you can find here, madangler blog. You may be familiar with some of his more recent projects such as re-creating Dark Drive’s future ride the NEXTridoron or his brilliant work recreating fully poseable Cronus robes. Relgnadam is a professional, and his work is a labor of love. He tirelessly recreates figures and vehicles down to the most minute detail, with absolute precision. I was ridiculously happy to be able to come to an agreement on the Type High Speed custom you see today, and having it in hand after a little over a year of anticipation, I am nowhere near disappointed.

We’ve attached the full 50+ image gallery of this impressive custom piece to this post, but you can also check out our review by clicking the link below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be taken to our full review thread! In a couple days we’ll be back with another Toku Toy Box gallery, and this time, we’re headed back into the Armour Zone….

“Black Hazard! Oh no!”

Toku Toy Box is kicking off strong this year with a dangerous and deadly gallery from Kamen Rider Build!  An item of unmatched power, based upon something even more ancient and powerful, the Hazard Trigger was given to Sento Kiryu by Blood Stalk. Using it’s uncontrollable power, the black hazard, Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Hazard Form emerges! For better or worse Sento must use this dangerous power to fight. Now we take a look at the Tamashii Nations 2018 event exclusive S.H. Figuart of this form!

A brilliant repaint and remold of the original Build Rabbit/Tank mold, Build Hazard is sleek and sexy. A form that gives off an aura of power and danger, Hazard Form is easily one of the best Build releases in the line so far. All of the same standard articulation from the original mold is back, but we get a really gorgeous and fierce new helmet design and some fantastic new shoulder pad designs. While Hazard includes a few hands for posing, the truly impressive accessories with this figure are the Hawk/Gattling Hazard Form parts! We get a new head, the Hawk Gattlinger weapon, and the Taka & Gattling Full Bottles. More Figuarts should come with swap out accessories such as this.

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery of this impressive release to this post, but you can also check out our lengthy review by clicking the link below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be taken to our full review thread! In a couple days we’ll be back with another Toku Toy Box gallery, and this time, it’ll be of a truly impressive custom figure we’ve been waiting over a year to share with you!

under Power Rangers, Super Sentai

The upcoming release of the Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer and Battleraizer from Denji Sentai Megaranger, better known as Power Rangers In Space for those of us who grew up with the Power Rangers, was originally scheduled to release in December of 2018. Unfortunately, due to what Bandai is calling a “production delay”, the item has been delayed with no current timetable for release.

It should be noted that the previous Super Sentai Artisan releases – specifically the SP License from Dekaranger and before that the Aura Changer from Dairanger – have suffered from quality control issues resulting in entire production run replacements.

The Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer and Battleraizer had recently had payment requests go out. This is the first time an item this close to release has been delayed.

under Kamen Rider

Youtuber the TIV Thailand has put up a quick look at an upcoming piece from the Kamen Rider Zi-O toyline: the RideWatch belonging to the Destroyer of Worlds, Kamen Rider Decade!

Current rumors suggest the powers of Kamen Rider Decade will be far stronger than a typical RideWatch, granting Zi-O untold new abilities. Only time will tell the truth of these new powers, but in the meantime feel free to join our Kamen Rider Zi-O Discussion Thread to share your thoughts on this exciting series!

“So you think you have what it takes to obtain the legendary power?”
“The fact that I’m here is proof enough.”

A free but guilty man, Masamune Dan sought to take back his company, defeat his son, and discontinue those pesky Kamen Riders. Resilient to all strains of the Bugster virus, Masamune was uniquely worthy to obtain the power of the one meant to defeat Gamedeus. With the ability to Pause & Restart, Masamune would become Kamen Rider Cronus! But Taiga Hanaya was the first rider chosen to fight the Bugsters. And as Kamen Rider Snipe he saved countless lives. In order to stop Masamune’s final plot, Taiga exposed himself to Kamen Rider Chronicle and using his Gamer Driver and two Chronicle Gashats, he’ll take on Cronus as, Kamen Rider Cronus!?

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cronus is a bit of a unique release. While we all know Masamune Dan as the menacing Cronus with his ability to control time, Taiga also proved himself worthy of the power near the series finale and would even go on to use this power once more in the Another Ending Trilogy. This figure can represent either version of the suit! While it comes standard with Masamune’s Buggle Driver Zwei, an alternate Gamer Driver with Chronicle Gashats is included as well so to display the figure as Taiga! Will your own Cronus be the hero or the villain of your collection. I’m a sucker and I bought two of them!
