“Tune Rhino. Super Break Up!”

Kamen Rider Drive has been enjoying quite the second life in the form of various movie appearances & special V-Cinema releases. And luckily so have his allies. Chase had his own in the form of the Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser film. This direct to video film also featured a brand new form for Chaser, an upgrade of his Roidmude reaper form, which we’re focusing on for today’s gallery. S.H. Figuarts Super Mashin Chaser!

Super Mashin Chaser is actually the 3rd outing so far of the Chaser mold. Following up from Mashin Chaser & Super Dead Heat Drive. But that hasn’t diminished how impressive it is each time eather. This mold still rocks some gorgeous asymmetry, only this time in impressive gold! There’s not much new to say about how the figure is designed, but it does have a striking color scheme. And while it’s lite on accessories outside the new Break Gunner Super Viral Core Loaded Version, it’s still compatible with the previously released Tune/Busou Chaser accessory set! So there’s plenty of play value in this gorgeous figure.

We’ve assembled a full 80 images of this figure for your viewing pleasure. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to see the full gallery & review. We’ll see you soon with a couple of new throwback galleries from Kamen Rider’s W & Kabuto!

“Nice Drive!”

We’re back in the exciting world of Kamen Rider Drive with a brand new gallery of the series first foray into the S.I.C. toyline!

S.I.C. Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed is the shows first entry in this line, soon to be followed by Mashin Chaser and the recently confirmed Heart Roidmude. While I don’t typically pick up S.I.C.’s I could not resist seeing Takeyuki Takeya’s take on this Rider. After all, the famed designer created all of the Roidmudes that Drive and his allies faced in the series. This monstrous rendition of Drive is an impressive piece of design from this prolific creator. And as with most S.I.C.’s it’s positively loaded down with accessories! Such as the Handle Sword, Door Gun, The Max Flare Tire, and plenty of Shift Cars. This is a really all inclusive release that sets the bar pretty high for where this line goes from here.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view over 70 images of S.I.C. Kamen Rider Drive after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

“Let’s Game, Super Game, Ultra Game, what’s your name?!”

We’re back at long last with another gallery from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid! It’s been a while since we took a hard look at the initial release from Ex-Aid’s toyline, LVUR01 Ex-Aid, and Bandai has gone back to the drawing board to try and offer fans a better alternative to that figure. Have they managed to do so? Find out in our review of Premium Bandai’s release of Full Action Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Level 1!

Full Action Ex-Aid obviously has much more articulation than Bandai’s first outing, as the name would imply. This stumpy little fella manages to pull off poses that plenty of retail gimmick figures can’t. However at full retail, this figure also tops out near $60 USD before shipping. Ex-Aid Level 1 has tons of personality, but quite the lack of accessories as well. Only including the Gashacon Breaker Hammer Mode. Despite the improvements made, it does have it’s drawbacks as well. More of which you can read about in our full review below.

We’ve attached a selection to this post but you can view 50+ images of Full Action Ex-Aid Level 1 by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Later this week we return to the world of Kamen Rider Drive with a brand new gallery!

Stag Beetle

It’s been a while, but we took a look at S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Gatack back in December. And after so many years waiting for a good renewal of Gatack, Bandai only made us wait a couple months to get his ride! Today we’ve got a quick gallery & review of the S.H. Figuarts Gatack Extender!

The Gatack Extender, like it’s predecessor the Kabuto Extender, doesn’t actually transform from Masked Form to EX. After Bandai really knocked things like Dragranzer & Auto-Vaijin out of the park I wish they’d tried a bit more with these. But as is the Gatack Extender Masked Form we have here is still a great looking rider machine. One that pairs very well with Kamen Rider Gatack himself. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of many bikes, it does a more than serviceable job as a display piece.

You can view the entire 30+ images of this release after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And we’ll be back in a couple of days with a brand new gallery from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!

“AMAZON.”

We have officially entered the Armor Zone people! This marks our 3rd full gallery from the fantastic Amazon Japan series Kamen Rider Amazons. This week saw confirmation of yet another figure from the show with the Mole Amazon, and Season 2 is well under way with an exciting 2nd episode. So at long last we’re going to take a look at the other sometimes heroic but often savage rider from season 1 with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Amazon Alpha (Amazon JP Edition)!

Amazon Alpha (Jin Takayama) was definitely not what you’d call a traditional hero. By the end of season 1 he resembled more of a villain than anything thanks to his obsession with the Amazons. But that doesn’t detract from his magnificent design, or this figures. This release of Alpha, like the Omega we recently looked at, was an Amazon JP release that included some bonus flame effect parts. But even without those, Alpha is a fearsome figure that brings the character’s savage personality to life in your collection.

We’ve attached a number of images to this post, but you can view 70+ images in our full gallery by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be switching gears after this and going back to another personal favorite series of mine, with a gallery from Kamen Rider Drive!

Recently we took a look at one of the leads of the excellent Amazon Japan web series Kamen Rider Amazons with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Omega. Well we’re mixing things up a bit today, before we take a look at the series other lead rider, Amazon Alpha, we’re going to take a look at Omega’s Rider Machine, the S.H. Figuarts Jungraider!

Believe it or not, the Jungraider should be familiar to many people whether they’ve seen Amazons or not. And that’s because this bike is part of Bandai’s long tradition of recycled old suits and props. In fact the Jungraider was made from Kamen Rider Gills very own Gills Raider! So the figuart is no different, it’s an excellent remold of the Gills Raider, released nearly 7 years ago! But that’s not all, the Jungraider also includes the last couple pieces of Amazon Omega’s arsenal, the Battler Grip Sickle & Battler Grip Whip! This is a truly interesting release that will compliment any Amazons collection.

We’ve put together over 40 images of S.H. Figuarts Jungraider after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” after the jump to see the full gallery & review. We’ll be back with more Amazons goodness soon with a full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha!

April 29th marks the release of the long-awaited Soul of Chogokin Daizyujin, and in the lead up to this date Bandai Tamashii Nations‘ official Instagram account has revealed that the toy will receive exclusive Power Rangers packaging for its release in the US from Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA.

Whereas the Japanese Daizyujin release follows the SOC line’s fairly standard packaging format, the American release will include a more dynamic image, naturally retitling the toy as the Megazord alongside the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers logo.

Which version will you be getting? Sound off after the jump!
