“Magnet Change!”

We’ve returned with another retro gallery from one of my favorites toylines ever for Toku Toy Box! That of Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack! You may recall that last December the inaugural gallery in this series was the shows’ lead character Robotack, well today we’re taking a look at his companion and equally awesome super robot, Magnet Change Kamerock! For a broader explanation of the series itself, feel free to read through my previous Robotack gallery linked to above.

Kamerock is yet another wonderful example of one of my favorite toylines. With the Magnet Change/ジシャックチェンジ gimmick on full display when using another figure in the line, you can see just how addictive it is. Kamerock is a Wonder Turtle type robot with a pretty innocent looking Normal Mode, but a beefy bruiser of a Super Mode. You can see how he interacts with his companion Robotack, in the full gallery below.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view the full 40 image gallery by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in 2 days with another new gallery for Toku Toy Box!

“Cast Off: Change Beetle!”

Toku Toy Box is taking a look at another new premium style release from Tamashii Nations! Recently released as a Tamashii Nations 2016 event exclusive S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto follows up S.S. Gattack and S.S. Kabuto as the third release in the Kabuto line. You may recall that last month , we also did a gallery of the Original Release Dark Kabuto, well let’s just say that the Shinkocchou Seihou is a massive improvement.

Just as with S.S. Kabuto & Gattack, Dark Kabuto features the brilliant body type that began the entire Seihou line. Once again this figure proves just how incredible the engineering for premium releases like this is. We recently glimpsed prototypes of the infamous Hopper Bros from Kabuto at Tamashii Nations 2016 as well, so the Kabuto lineup of S.S. releases  is really starting to shape up nicely. For now though Dark Kabuto is another fantastic addition that includes the perfect accessories to compliment his gorgeous design and paint scheme.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view over 50 images of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto in the full gallery thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in two more days with another Toku Toy Box gallery!

“Let our Janklers roar, we are Akumaizer 3!”

The classic 1975 Shotaro Ishinomori series Akumaizer 3 may not be something you’re familiar with, but today that changes with our special Toku Toy Box gallery of the S.I.C. Akumaizer 3!

The series stars Zabitan, a rogue member of the Demon Clan who has come to the human world in order to become a hero, as well as his initial pursuers but eventual allies Ibiru & Gabura. This MASSIVE S.I.C. three pack contains all 3 members of the team as well as multiple heads & hands for Ibiru & Zabitan. But that’s not all! The trio’s signature Sabres, Zarad Irad & Garad are all included, and Ibiru’s Jo Gun and Gabura’s Mace & Axe are all included as well! This truly comprehensive release is the perfect fit for any fan of this series, or in fact obscure Tokusatsu in general. We have a brief overview of this show in the gallery thread.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can check out over 90 images of the incredible S.I.C. Akumaizer 3 set after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation” Forums at the bottom of this post.

One of Ultraman’s oldest & most persistent foes arrives for today’s Toku Toy Box Gallery with S.H. Figuarts Alien Baltan!

The 2nd release commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Ultra franchise, Alien Baltan is a companion piece to the recently released S.H. Figuarts Ultraman. However, unlike Ultraman, Baltan is a very straightforward and pretty bare bones release. With no accessories at all, the merits of this figure are based solely on it’s exquisite sculpt, paint apps, and personality. Does it effectively recreate the classic space ninja we all know and love? Read on to find out!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can view the entire 50 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Alien Baltan after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in two days with another Toku Toy Box gallery!

under Super Sentai

It’s a safe bet to say that a lot of fans are very excited with what they’ve seen so far in the upcoming 41st Super Sentai Uchuu Sentai Kyuuranger. And after a week of some details, grainy pictures, blurry pictures, we now finally have new high resolution Uchuu Sentai Kyuuranger Scans online!

The images show us everything from our nine Rangers to their individual Voyagers to the DX KyurenOh. We also get a look at the arsenal of the Kyuurangers as well as a detailed list of the upcoming collectible gimmick of the series – the KyuTamas – spheres/balls that contain an image of the constellation they represent.

Check out high resolution scans by clicking the title of the story and then join in our on-going discussion. Are you excited for Uchuu Sentai Kyuuranger? Are you all-in on collecting the Voyagers and the KyuTamas? Sound off! Special thanks to @TheRealMattHunt and @_Erasu on Twitter for the heads up on the images.

under Kamen Rider

A new image has surfaced online, showing the next level of power for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!

By using the Maximum Mighty X Gashat, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid can transform into his strongest form yet- the LVL 99 MAXIMUM GAMER! This configuration is an oversized reuse of the LVL1 model, and will act as a cocoon of sorts for Ex-Aid’s final form- which requires 1 more Gashat still unrevealed at time of writing.

But Ex-Aid isn’t the only Rider gaining new powers in the future! This scan reveals a second Gashat called the Gashat Gear Dual Beta which allows both Kamen Rider Brave and Kamen Rider Snipe to upgrade to LVL 50 forms:

*Brave obtains heavy stylized armor to become Kamen Rider Brave Fantasy Gamer!
*Snipe gains an arsenal of mounted weapons and transforms into Kamen Rider Snipe Simulation Gamer!

Definitely some exciting times ahead for this series! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider news!

“Cast Off: Change, Stag Beetle!”

Toku Toy Box continues with another gallery of a recent release. Today’s subject was long overdue, and thankfully the wait has been worth it. S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Gattack is yet another incredible entry into Bandai’s high end line of renewals.

Kamen Rider Gattack is of course the secondary rider of Kabuto & the case can definitely be made that he’s the real star of the show. And thanks to the fantastic engineering of the S.S. Kabuto body, this star really gets the chance to shine. Gattack includes the full range of articulation previously seen with Kabuto and brings his own gorgeous color scheme and accessories to the party. Both of Gattack’s Double Caliburs are included & they can combine for his Rider Cutting finish. Also, unlike Kabuto, Gattack even includes an alternate version of his Zecter! To see how vastly improved this figure is you can also check out our S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gattack (Original Release) gallery.

“Riderrrrrrrrrrrrr, Henshin!”

Toku Toy Box continues! Debuting in the special Superhero Year tie-in film, Kamen Rider 1, the original Rider himself received his first new upgrade in over 40 years. Well Takeshi Hongo’s latest form is on full display in our special gallery of S.H. Figuarts Movie Kamen Rider 1 !

You’d be forgiven for expecting Movie Rider 1 to be a limited figure. While undoubtedly movie magic gave the physical suit a special flare & abilities all it’s own, this figuart packs a real punch. A big beefy and well articulated figure, Movie Rider 1 truly comes across as the embodiment of actor Hiroshi Fujioka. While the accessories may limited, this figures’ potential is not. If you were a fan of the Rider 1 film, or of Hongo in general, this figure deserves a place in your collection.
