“Vaporize.”

Himuro Gentoku’s presence at the opening of Pandora’s Box changed him, changed his fate. Driven to become someone new, the Deputy Prime Minister would help found Faust. Experimenting on humans to create the Smash, working & clashing with the mysterious Blood Stalk, all the while hiding his other identity. One day Himuro will become Kamen Rider Rogue, but for now the “Bat-Man” is the villain who will menace Kamen Rider Build. This is S.H. Figuarts Night Rogue!

Night Rogue is our 2nd release for Build and of course the first villain for the series so far. While we’ll see this mold make another outing as Blood Stalk, I’m happy to report that in it’s initial outing, it’s really won me over. Despite appearances, Night Rogue is a really dynamic and well executed figure with plenty of detailing and personality. Between the way the upper body can pose, the haunting way the eyes shine through his visor, and his fully functional sidearm the Transteam Rifle, Night Rogue is an absolute winner in my book.

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery to this post, but you can also check out our full review of Night Rogue by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, Hyper Clock Up!

“Chihiro, I’m here to kill you.”

Jin Takeyama has become a broken man in the years that have transpired between seasons of Amazons. He’s lost the love of his life, he’s hunted for the son he knows to be a monster, and now he’s blind. A broken man, on a mission to kill all Amazons, Jin won’t let anything including the loss of his sight stop him.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha 2nd Season Version recreates Jin’s broken and battered form for the first time for collectors. A straight repaint of the original Amazon Alpha release, the Season 2 Version markedly de-saturates Alpha’s color scheme overall. It also adds a nice dark paint wash to bring out the details and scars on his suit. A subtle application of Amazons Blood splatter is even applied, while the most obvious difference are the new milky white Blind compound eyes. And while this Alpha includes all of the same accessories that came with the original we also get one brand new part, an Amazons Heart. 

We’ve attached the full 60 image gallery of Season 2 Alpha to this post. You can also read through our complete review in the attached gallery thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back with more galleries ranging from Pacific Rim, Kamen Rider Kabuto, and even Choujuu Sentai Liveman, SOON!

From the @t_features twitter account, Seihou Amazon will be on display beginning tomorrow (March 31st) at the Akiba Showroom. This fact combined with the new official image released, would definitely add up to this figure receiving confirmed release details in the immediate future. The clock is ticking now, we should have concrete information on this incredible release soon!

“The only thing standing in front of the apocalypse, is us.”

In the 5 years since Pacific Rim first rampaged it’s way across theater screens, fans have been rabid for a sequel to this giant robot love letter. Meanwhile collector’s have been desperately hoping a better option for merchandise and collectibles for the franchise. Well Tamashii Nations has finally come to rescue to provide fantastic action figures and toys at multiple price points and functionality from Pacific Rim Uprising! Today we’re taking a look at the very first release in their Pacific Rim Robot Spirits (Damashii) line with Gypsy Avenger!

Kicking the line off in fantastic fashion, is the heroic mech central to Uprising’s plot, Gypsy Avenger. The slimmed down successor to Gypsy Danger, Avenger comes to us at an insanely affordable price point (only $20!) and is one of the best and most functional figures we could hope for at that price. Armed with her Gravity Sling & Chain Sword, Gypsy Avenger can go toe to toe with the toughest Kaiju, giant robots, or otherwise huge heroes in your collection.

We’ve attached the full 70 image gallery of Robot Spirits Gypsy Avenger to this post. You can also read our extensive (and positive) review of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And, we’re gonna continue to cancel the apocalypse off and on for the next month as we review the other 5 Pacfic Rim Robot Spirits that make up the rest of waves 1 & 2!

“Now, Enjoy a taste of hell.”

The dead man who walks finally gets the renewal treatment he deserves after languishing for nearly 8 years with the inferior original figure. Katsumi Daido, the Kamen Rider who would’ve taken the city of Fuuto with his absolute strength, faced off against Kamen Rider W in the A To Z: Gaia Memories of Fate feature film. Now he can finally face off against his rival in premium figure form with the recently released S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Eternal!

Seihou Eternal is a lavish love letter to this one-off villain. Made from the same exquisite Seihou W mold, Eternal is a dream for posing. But more than that, this figure is spared no expense for his accessories. Decked out with the “Strengthening Armament” parts of 26 full Gaia Memory Slots, alternate empty slots are also included. We even get a whopping 6 sets of  hands, 3 Gaia Memories, the Eternal Edge dagger, and the fantastic Eternal Robe! This cape accessory is by far the greatest achievement of this figure. Fully poseable, thanks to metal wires, this cape can assume a variety of natural and dynamic poses that make this figure feel like it walked right off the screen.

We’ve attached the full 100+ image gallery to this post, but you can also check out our lengthy review of this figure in the full gallery thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this. We’ll be back soon to cancel the apocalypse with a round of galleries from Pacific Rim Uprising!

Revealed via design scans only last week, the Bandai Candy blog is now teasing us with the first prototype images of the Super Minipla Muteki Shogun! Specifically, the component shown off in these images is Red Saruder.

“Red Fists Burning In A Blaze! Blue Chained Puzzles In A Craze!“

The latest release from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has arrived and the Bugster Parad is here to prove he’s still on Emu’s level! Using the powerful Gashat Gear Dual with a Gamer Driver produces a unique fusion of Parad’s two powerful level 5o forms as S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Para-DX Perfect Knockout Gamer Level 99!

Para-DX Level 99 is so far the 2nd figuart we’ve gotten of this character (along with the L Mighty Brother), but this time it’s quite a bite more of a unique one. Level 99 is a powerful and imposing looking form with an array of special abilities. In figure terms, Level 99 is a gorgeously ornate figure that despite the loincloth/skirt has a dynamic range of movement that brings him to life. Armed with the Gashcon Parabragun and 3 sets of hands, Para-DX Level 99 should be a welcome addition for any Ex-Aid Display.

We’ve attached the full gallery of 60+ images to this post, but you can also check out our full review of Para-DX Level 99 by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in the near future with a trio of galleries from Pacific Rim Uprising as well some from Kamen Rider W and the original Kamen Rider TV series.

After a nearly 4 year long wait, and several appearances at Tamashii Nations events in the last year, a new Shinkocchou Seihou release is finally on the way from Kamen Rider Hibiki! Joining the ranks of this top quality sub-line of special releases is Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Ibuki!

Kamen Rider Ibuki was the secondary rider of Hibiki’s TV series. The youngest of the original 3 Oni of the series, Ibuki abandoned his human name (Iori Izumi) once he gained his powers. This figure appears to gorgeously replicate Ibuki every bit as well as the line did with Hibiki years ago. Ibuki will include his Ongekikan Reppuu trumpet-gun, a set of disc animals, his Oni Whistle for transforming, and several more accessories.

We don’t have the exact release details available yet, but given the release of these partial images, a full set as well as that retail information will be available shortly. We’ll update you as soon as we can! Credit to @_Erasu for digging up these initial images as well.

For those of you who can remember 2017 (it’s been a minute already, we know!) one of the hardest items to obtain was a pre-order for the Super Sentai Artisan DX DaiRenOh. Promising a faithful release of the original figure but with modern day improvements (such as better paint deco, remolded pieces, and new accessories) the Super Sentai Artisan DX DaiRenOh sold out in pre-orders within just a couple of days.

Bandai Japan has recently updated their blog to give what would appear to be the final release version update on the upcoming Super Sentai Artisan DX DaiRenOh. The figure features brand new paint and looks incredible. The fists have been remolded, the sheath of the blade now matches what you saw in the show, and a second sword has been included so you can recreate the finishing move.

We’ve mirrored all the images here on the site. Click the title of the story to check them all out. Did you grab a pre-order for this? Sound off in discussion and let us know!

Also … you have until the end of the month to reach out to your middle man for a DX WonTiger, which as you know, can combine with the DX DaiRenOh.
