It’s been a long time coming but it looks like Kamen Rider Drives’ final form has finally been teased for release! Shown off previously at Tamashii Nations 2015, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron has just been teased in a series of images with S.H. Figuarts Gold Drive!

Along with this figure a single teaser image for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero Drive is also included. This form debuted in Ghost & Drive Super Movie War Genesis and represents a pre-Type Speed version of Drive.

Neither figure has confirmed release details at this point, but we’re expecting much more information to become available at the Tamashii Features event this weekend, May 21st & 22nd!

Ahead of this months Tamashii Features 2016 Event (May 21st-22nd) the official Tamashii Features twitter account has revealed an official teaser for one of the products on display at the event.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Omega is so far the first figuart to be revealed from the current Kamen Rider Amazons web series. A half red half green teaser image was initially shown for this event last month and many speculated an Alpha & Omega reveal. With half of that pairing officially happening, what do you think our chances of seeing Amazon Alpha at the event are now?

Sound off in the comments below, we’ll keep you up to date as more images and possible release info are made available for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Omega!

In a move surprising many, Bandai has jut revealed official release details for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gold Drive! Most surprising of all? He’s going to be a retail release!

Gold Drive is a pretty straightforward repaint of Drive Type Speed with the Proto-Drive Tire.  As such he’ll almost definitely be a good figure if you have any experience with that mold at this point. Gold Drive includes 4 sets of hands and one replacement part for the Banno Driver to replicate Banno’s face readout.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gold Drive will be released at retail in September for 5940 yen.

It’s time for Buster!

TokuNation is finally ready to finish the journey it began nearly 5 months ago. Our Gallery 2.0 retrospective for Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters comes to an end with this final gallery, S.H. Figuarts Yellow Buster & Usada Lettuce!

Yellow Buster & Usada are the 5th and sadly last release in the Go-Busters Figuarts subline. But this pair are a more than admirable send off. Between the standard accessory load out of the Buster mold & the inclusion of Usada, this release is more than worth the  fair prices it goes for now. And with it you can at least complete the original trios of Buster & Buddyroids.

Hyakujuu Gattai!

On occasion TokuNation has the opportunity to share galleries of rare items that aren’t often seen in the toku collecting communities of the world, and today is no different. For your viewing pleasure we’ve assembled a gallery of a rarity from Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, the gorgeous DX Silver Chrome Gao Gorilla!

Silver Gao Gorilla was a promotional release from 2003, 2 years after Gaoranger ran in Japan, & distributed exclusively by Bandai Asia/Hong Kong. It wasn’t an item regularly available for retail sale. Numerous sentai release in varying chrome colors have made their way to market in this nature over the last 2 decades. This rare piece pops up for sale on occasion but is still notoriously hard to find. The 4th of 5 versions of the Gao Gorilla Power Animal mold, Silver Gao Gorilla will add some serious bling to your collection, and especially to your Gao Muscle or Gao Knight display!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can check out over 30 which await you in the full gallery/review thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to see them all.

Full images from the third-quarter merchandise catalog for Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger have been posted online! Exciting new entries in this series include:

*A new Ranger form, Zyuoh Whale! Yamato uses the Whale ChargeGun (a cube that transforms INTO a gun this time) to become even stronger.

*Clearer images of Zyuoh TheWorld’s personal Mecha, Tousai Zyuoh! The massive Cube Rhinos serves as a Carrier for Cube Wolf and Cube Crocodile. Tousai can combine with Wild ZyuohKing to form the 13-block Combo, Wild Tousai King!

*The 4th Auxiliary Mecha, Cube Koumori! This add-on is a bat that becomes a boomerang for the larger combos. In addition, we also have a brief teaser for Cube #0- Cube Condor, a remold of Cube Gorilla to be introduced in the Zyuohgers’ summer movie.

Definitely some exciting adventures ahead for the 40th Super Sentai Series! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Zyuohger news!

Arise, Daizyujin!

At long last TokuNation is proud to present a really special gallery for you. Following up on our recent 14K Gold Galaxy Megazord Gallery, we have another blast from the past to share. You know the series that started a massively successful franchise in the west, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. You know the series that gave it life, Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Now we’re taking you back to another first, the first black sentai mecha repaint ever. DX Black Daizyujin!

This gorgeous release was on store shelves in 1993 near the end of Zyuranger’s televised run. Undoubtedly many western fans recognize this mecha from the Bandai America Black & Gold Megazord release, and the recent Legacy version of said toy. That vintage release was itself a mere repackaging of Black Daizyujin, the originator of the black repaint concept for Super Sentai & Power Rangers. At one time this set retailed for 8000 yen, today it commands prices in excess of 60,000 yen. But we managed to get an incredible deal on one thanks to the amazing folks as Serious Toyz. So that brings us to this, a massive gallery totaling over 100 images of this rare and unique set. We’ve done our best to show off each Guardian Beast, the combined Dinotanker mode, and the mighty Daizyujin & its’ glorious gold chromed Dinosaur Sword God Horn.

We’ve attached a pretty sizable selection of this images to this post, but the entire gallery can be accessed by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.
