Signal Bike/Shift Car!

One of the most unusual forms to come out of Kamen Rider Drive has finally arrived in figure form. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Super Dead Heat Drive is here for our latest gallery! This hodgepodge form only appears in the film Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future, and the circumstances by which it exists are pretty dire. Without spoiling the film Shinnosuke is forced to use the Tridoron Key with a Mach Driver, to attain a body identical to Mashin Chaser but with a Type Speed style head.

The Super Dead Heat Drive figuart takes full advantage of parts reuse to recreate this form perfectly. Right down to a fully removebale Tridoron Key, as well as a gorgeously detailed new version of the Type Speed head. If you’ve experienced the Mashin Chaser body, then you’re familiar with this excellent figure. And luckily this release retains it’s compatibility with the Busou Chaser accessory set! However it does lack quite a bit in terms of it’s own accessories. But we made due with what we had already to give this figure it’s proper due!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but we’ve got over 50 in the full gallery thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the entire gallery & review! We’ll be back next time when the final announced (so far) Drive figuart is released, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser Mach!

The first image of Zyuoh TheWorld’s personal mecha, Tousai Zyuoh has finally surfaced online!

This Mecha is created by fusing Cube Wolf, Cube Crocodile and Cube Rhinos! Rhinos appears to make up the bulk of the body, while Crocodile becomes the right arm & Wolf forms the head. At time of writing it is unconfirmed how Zyuoh TheWorld’s Cube Animals will combine with other Zyuohger Mecha.

Stay tuned to Tokunation as we keep you up to date on all Zyuohger news!

After much speculation, we finally have an image for the next Cube Animal to join Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger!

This is our first look at Cube Rhinos, said to be the signature Mecha of Zyuoh TheWorld. Cube Rhinos has a secondary configuration: transforming from cube to a tractor-trailer capable of transporting TheWorlds’ other Mecha, Cube Wolf and Cube Crocodile into combat!

Supposedly, all 3 of Zyuoh TheWorlds’ Cube Animals can combine to form Tousai Zyuoh but this combo is unfortunately unrevealed at time of writing.

Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Zyuohger news!

Another month has come & gone and so we have a number of toy galleries and in depth reviews by our Photo & Content staff to round-up once again! Though all the products we reviewed this past month were released in the last 3 or 4 years, the content they covered spanned decades. A selection of Ranger Keys took us down the path of Metal Heroes from 1982 all the way to 2012, the Legacy line gave us a one-two punch throwback to 1994 & 1995, and we caught up with some much needed gallery 2.0’s a recent and often overlooked sentai.

As always you’ll find below links to this months gallery/reviews. We look forward to bringing you even more content this month!

“Ryuuj!!!”

The TokuNation Gallery 2.0 project adds another entry today with another visit to Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters! Last week we posted our S.H. Figuarts Blue Buster gallery 2.0, so as a companion to that entry today we’re bringing you Ryuuji’s partner Buddyroid, S.H. Figuarts Gorisaki Banana!

Much like Nick Cheead, Gorisaki is a totally new mold for this line. A unique robotic gorilla (as the name implies), Gorisaki features articulation and posability that’s in line with what a person wearing a suit and acting as this character would likely have available. While the accuracy of this isn’t lost on me, it also hurts what the figure can do to a degree. Gorisaki also comes with no accessories at all, so the figure has to hit the mark perfectly. And while he may not have done so, Gorisaki undoubtedly is a fun figure with some great personality to him.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but the full 40 image gallery is view-able after the jump. As well as an in depth review into the pros & cons of this figures’ design. Just click “Discuss on The TokuNation Forums”. We’ll be backnext month with a final Gallery 2.0 for Go-Busters with the S.H. Figuarts Yellow Buster & Usada Lettuce 2-Pack!

Let’s Morphin!

The TokuNation Gallery 2.0 initiative slowly marches on! It’s been a while since we posted one of our updated looks at a figure gone by. But today we’re back with the third in our series of do-overs for Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters with S.H. Figuarts Blue Buster!

First things first, Blue Buster is basically identical to the previously released Red Buster. The only mold difference is the helmet. If you have experience with this mold then you know it well. Admittedly it’s not perfect, there’s limited upper arm movement & especially difficult to swap hands. But Blue Buster is still a more than serviceable release with a great selection of accessories including the Sougan Blade, Ichigan Buster, & the combined Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode! If you’re looking for another addition to your sentai figuarts display, this one is both inexpensive to acquire and still pretty great despite it’s flaws.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but the full 40 image gallery is view-able after the jump. Just click “Discuss on The TokuNation Forums”. We’ll be back in just a few days with yet another Go-Busters gallery 2.0 with S.H. Figuarts Gorisaki Banana!
