For-For-For-Formula!

After the holiday rush Toku Toy Box is back in full swing with a brand new gallery! Today we’re making another pit stop with Kamen Rider Drive and S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Formula!

Type Formula is Drive’s penultimate form, and much like his final form it has it’s lovers & detractors. I for one have always been a big fan of the Formula design but it doesn’t work for everyone. A recent Tamashii Web Exclusive, Formula is a unique release. Yes it includes the requisite extra hands, Formula Shift Car, Trailer Cannon, & even the swap-out Core Driviar-N chest. But Type Formula also includes a full decal sheet! The decals on this sheet help you recreate every single Shift Car “sponsor logo” on the suit! While this may seem tedious to most I have to admit it wasn’t that bad in practice.

We’ve included basically 2 galleries for the price of 1 here. A number of detailed photos of Type Formla without decals applied and a complete set of photos with decals applied as well! Read on by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to enjoy over 80 images of Drive Type Formula! And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

Yet another new figure has just gone up for pre-order after this months magazine scans! The Tamashii Web Shop has just opened the order page for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser Mach!

Now scheduled for a May 2016 release for  5940 yen, Chaser Mach comes with 2 sets of hands the Zenrin Shooter & Shingou Axe with change out signal parts!

We’re long past due sharing this one with you, but for Toku Toy Box we’re pulling out all the stops this year! Released just recently as a Tamashii Web Exclusive we’re happy to finally be able to take a look at the massive S.H. Figuarts Tridoron!

The Tridoron is one amazing collector’s piece. What you’ll immediately notice about it is the hefty die-cast metal used in the undercarriage as well as the gorgeous and near flawless paint applications. Get beyond the shock of these features though and what we have is an amazingly functional vehicle with a WEALTH of accessories. Tridoron has working LED’s for head/tail lights, fully detailed & functional interiors, a number of new faces for Mr. Belt are included, as are several items necessary to replicate Tire Koukans on this behemoth. But perhaps most interesting of all though is the removable Driver’s Side cutaway model! A special stand is even included for it’s display. S.H. Figuarts Tridoron is literally one of the most all inclusive packages I’ve ever seen.

Another image of the 40th Super Sentai Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger toyline has surfaced online, giving us a much closer look at new Red Ranger Jyuuou Eagle transforming into an even more powerful form- Jyuuou Gorilla!

The form-change is referred to as Visor Up in the catalog; Jyuuou Eagle pushes the “beak” portion of his helmet upward to channel his second animal spirit. And this is more than just a cosmetic variation- Jyuuou Gorilla is depicted with HUGE muscles to signify the increase in power!

Will the other Jyuuougers be able to Visor Up as well? Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all details for this new series! And feel free to join in our Ongoing Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears about the new Sentai!

A pair of new Tamashii Web Exclusives have jsut been confirmed for released in the latest issue of Figure Oh!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser Mach is set for a May 2016 release for 5940 yen. While accessories are not confirmed at the time of this writing, Mach will at least include both his Zenrin Shooter & Kamen Rider Chasers Shingou Axe!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ghost Musashi Damashii is up for a rather late August 2016 release for the similar price of 5832 yen. It looks like Bandai is returning to a riders alternate forms being Web Exclusives. Perhaps due to very very slow pre-orders for Ghost Ore Damashii? In any case Musashii looks to come with it’s version of the Gan Gun Saber at least. But we’ll know more when official images begin to circulate.

Toku Toy Box returns with yet another gallery of a classic toy! Picking up where we left off with our Superchange Kabutack DX Gallery we’re moving 1 year ahead to Kabutack’s follow up series, Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack, the final Metal Hero! Today’s gallery will focus on the series lead character in toy form, Magnet Change Robotack!

A revolutionary toy line, Robotack features my absolute favorite gimmick ever; Magnet (Jishakku) Change! Each figure in the line consisted of a central torso with detachable limbs each embedded with a magnet. Not only did this allow you transform each figure from it’s Normal Mode to Super Mode but every figure in the line was totally interchangeable with one another! Any number of unique combinations is possible. Robotack himself is a sturdy die-cast laden toy more than worth adding to your collection, especially for the low prices he’s available for today!

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to view the entire 80 image gallery as well as a full review of this set! We’ve also included a short synopsis of Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack for those unfamiliar with the series. And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

A new image has hit the Internet, giving fans of Kamen Rider Ghost a quick look at the haunted hero’s next upgrade- the Grateful Damashii!

Grateful appears to be a heavily-armored form with spiked shoulders and a pointed helmet. The previously-revealed Eyecon Driver G said to unlock Grateful Damashii is unfortunately not pictured in this teaser.

Strangely, this new form appears to abandon the clothing-like appearance of previous Damashii. How this will carry over to the Ghost Change action figure series remains to be seen.

Feel free to join in our Ongoing Kamen Rider Ghost Rumor Thread to share your thoughts and fears about this new upgrade!

The incomprehensibly annual grainy image period is over! We finally have our first true clear look at Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger! These new images finally give us a good look at several upcoming DX toys in the Jyuuouger line.

The Jyuuou Changer is indeed a cubical phone with a rotating element (think Rubix Cube) that allows you to choose the mode it’s used in (henshin, shokan, gattai). The Jyuuou Buster sidearm is confirmed to have both blade & gun forms. We get our first look at Jyuuou Eagle’s personal weapon the Eag Riser which is apparently also a segmented whip weapon!

But most interesting of all we get a fantastic look at the DX Cube Animals of the series! We’ve previously seen Jyuuou King, but these new images provide us with looks at Cube Elephant , Kirin, Tiger, & Gorilla.  Kirin can become a Bazook for Jyuuou King, Gorilla Tiger & Elephant can merge together to form Jyuuou Wild! And these images also confirms a huge rumor, Jyuuou Eagle can transform into Jyuuou Gorilla!

Superchange!

Toku Toy Box is back with yet another vintage gallery for your viewing pleasure! Today we take a look back at a classic entry in the Metal Heroes franchise circa 1997-1998 with B-Robo Kabutack! And the toy of it’s titular hero, the Superchange Kabutack DX Set!

An often overlooked series, B-Robo Kabutack was the spiritual successor to the long forgotten Toei Fushigi Comedy series. A franchise marked by fun loving almost child like robots and their human allies. Examples being shows like Batten Robomaru, Morimori Bokkun, & Robot 8-Chan. Kabutack sat itself apart with some fantastic production values, a plot that borrows more than a little bit from Dragonball, and an absolutely fantastic gimmick for it’s toyline; Superchange! This DX Superchange set includes the fully transformable Kabutack as well as his 2 armors Drillut & Zabut, each sporting 3 different combinations with Kabutack!

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to view the entire 100 image gallery as well as a full review of this set! We’ve also included a short synopsis of B-Robo Kabutack for those unfamiliar. And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win! We’ll be back very soon with another gallery related to this one, in the form of Kabutack’s succesor. The final Metal Heroes series, Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack!

The Thundering Brave, S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold has arrived for Toku Toy Box with a brand new 2.0 gallery! Rounding out our trip down memory lane with Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger it’s fitting that we end that trip with Kyoryu Gold.

Though he may have been the final Kyoryuger released, Kyoryu Gold is by far the best. Benefiting from a slightly bulkier build than the the previous five, Kyoryu Gold has by far the most heroic proportions. On top of this the figure also features a wonderful gold paint finish, and a decent load out of accessories. The massive Zandar Thunder sword, several sets of hands, a #6 Zyudenchi, the pre-attached Gaburichanger, and the most important accessory of all; the Fang Shot! Which is the final piece needed to create the Kentrospiker! 

With the apparent death of Super Sentai S.H. Figuarts we likely won’t ever get the rest of the Kyoryugers, but if that’s the case? Then S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold is an appropriate finisher to the line. To see the full 50+ image gallery and read an in depth review of this figure just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t forget this is gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!
