“A-MA-ZOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN!”

7 years ago, the original S.H. Figuarts Amazon was released, we reviewed it in 2016. Looking back now, that Amazon is an extremely dated figure. Even though for it’s time it was a fantastic addition to any collection, today Bandai spoils us with so much more. Just released this month is the long awaited modern update for Amazon, S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Amazon!

The Shinkocchou Seihou subline has thus far been excellent, there’s no way to diminish how truly wonderful it’s been. But Amazon really ratchets things up. This is by far my favorite release in the line thus far, and one that really goes the distance to recreating the suit and character to near perfect detail. An excellent looking figure at the very least, Amazon also has a wealth of articulation that the original figuart lacked. While it may lack something in the accessories department, there’s no doubt that this is the definitive figure of Kamen Rider Amazon!

You can enjoy 70+ images of Shinkocchou Seihou Amazon after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Coming up soon, a fresh batch of galleries from Ex-Aid, Build, Amazons, and W!

New images from the latest Kamen Rider Zi-O merchandise catalog have been posted online, revealing several details about the further adventures of this anniversary series!

*Kamen Rider Zi-O upgrades to a new form- Kamen Rider Zi-O II! This new configuration splits Zi-O’s suit-literally doubling the watch decals on the chest and helmet.

*Not to be outdone, Kamen Rider Geiz uses a new hourglass-based RideWatch to become Kamen Rider Geiz Revive! The Revive form has multiple configurations- closed armor for defensive combat and open armor for heavy attacks.

But the biggest reveal in this new catalog is the THIRD Kamen Rider joining the adventure! This is our first look at Kamen Rider Woz! The green Rider from Year 2068 uses a new device known as the BeyonDriver along with his unique brand of RideWatchs- the MiraiWatch!

While Zi-O & Geiz channel the powers of past Kamen Riders, Kamen Rider Woz is able to channel the powers of FUTURE Kamen Riders! Three brand-new Riders are shown in Woz’s arsenal- Kamen Rider Shinobi, Kamen Rider Quiz & Kamen Rider Kikai. Using the MiraiWatches from each, Kamen Rider Woz can activate his Futuring Forms.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for Kamen Rider! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Zi-O reveals.

“We need Megazord power, NOW!”

SDCC had some powerful exclusives for Power Rangers collector’s this year. Exclusives that are now making the rounds at a number of North American conventions such as Fan Expo Canada and New York Comic Con. Today, we’re taking a look at by far the most spectacular of these exclusives with the SOC Soul of Chogokin GX-72B Black Megazord! 

The Black Megazord/Daizyujin is an elaborate repaint of the original SOC release, primarily in black, with a plethora of gorgeous gold trim, green accents, and silver chrome. This color scheme is directly inspired by and meant to compliment the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar, which is a bit of a different take on the black repaint tradition than we usually get for MMPR or Zyuranger. Each of the Zords functions identically to the first release, but they look so spectacular in these new colors. We’ve included a number of comparison shots with the first release, with some fun mix & match possibilities as well.

Attached are 120 images of this gorgeous set. You can also read up on our full review of SOC Black Megazord in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t worry if you’ve missed one of it’s various con releases either, it’s being made available through the Tamashii Web Shop in Japan next year as well.

“Looks like the trump card, always comes my way.”

The race for the T2 Gaia Memories is on! As Kamen Rider Eternal and NEVER descend on Fuuto, Kamen Rider W will be temporarily out of commission! With Phillip captured, can Shotaro save the day on his own? With a little help from the Boss, this hardboiled hero will take on a new role, as Kamen Rider Joker!

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Joker is yet another lavish do-over from Bandai. Chipping away at the forms and variations of Kamen Rider W in their premium renewal line, Joker was released as a Tamashii Nations event exclusive last year. It was also made available in mid-2018 via the Tamashii Web Shop. While it’s undoubtedly an easy repaint, and definitely has a dearth of accessories, it’s certainly a form that brings it’s style A-game.

While we’ve attached the full 55+ image gallery to this post, you can also read up on our full review Kamen Rider Joker. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full thread. Next time, we FINALLY tackle the big SDCC Exclusive of this year with the SOC Black Megazord!
