Joining along side Kamen Rider Skull in our Figuarts reveals, we have official release details for S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Dark Drive Type The Next whom was revealed just a little over a week ago.

If you’ve been keeping up with our Power Rangers Dino Force Brave coverage, and have been clamouring for some of the toys that have been announced then we got good news for you.
It looks like P-Bandai will be picking up a few of these toys for the Japanese market with a teaser picture of that new sweet Kyoryujin whom we now know is called Kyoryujin Brave, and the DX toy of this mecha appears to be the first to be imported over for this new toy line.
At the moment, we don’t have a whole lot of information to go on P-Bandai has yet to announce a price, release date, or if Kyoryujin Brave is the only toy that they’ll be bringing over. Though it seems that we’ll be getting more info on this release March 22nd 2017, so stay tuned and we’ll bring more info as it becomes avalaible.
A little while ago, we learned of the release of the Hopper Brothers in the S.H.Figuarts ShinchouSeihou subline. Since then, official release dates along with clearer images for the pair we’ve also learned that both will be released as P-Bandai exclusives.
Both Hoppers will be retailing for 6,480 yen each while Kick will see release in August and Punch in September.
With Super Minipla Daizyujin having just been released, it seemed as though the perfect accompaniment could be in development, with photos of a Super Minipla Dragon Ceaser or Dragon Zord currently in the early stages of prototyping.
We’ll bring more news on this piece as it becomes avalaible, so stay tuned!
AURA POWER!
Next up on Super Sentai Artisan’s releases is the main mecha himself: Dairen’oh!

Often hoped for by fans of Kamen Rider Drive, but until now unseen at various Tamashii Nations events, we now have our first look at yet another figuart from the series. On display at the Tamashii Nations Akiba Showroom right now is none other than S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Dark Drive Type Next!
Dark Drive was of course the villain of Drive’s summer film, Surprise Future. Now unfortunately for the time being we don’t have any release details for this figure. But given that it’s now on display at the Akiba Showroom, release details could follow in the near future. Stay tuned here for updates!
