Following up on their reveal at this weeks’ Tokyo Toy Show we now have full official images for the next Premium Shift Car Set from Premium Bandai!

This next exclusive 2 pack will feature the DX Shift Hearttron & DX Shift Ride Crosser from the upcoming Kamen Rider Mach/Kamen Rider Heart V-Cinema! The pair are incredibly unique Shift Cars, Hearttron is based on Shift Tridoron while Ride Crosser seems to be a mostly original tooling. Both look fantastic and feature interactions with the Drive Driver & Mach Driver respectively.

Shift Hearttron & Ride Crosser will ONLY be available as pack ins with the Drive Saga Kamen Rider Mach/Heart deluxe Blu-Ray set. The set itself retails for 14,040 yen. Get with your preferred middleman to secure this set today!

Bandai had a rather unusual reveal for us at the Tokyo Toy Show with a line of various Ultraman characters that transform into containers of cup ramen.

At the moment, we don’t know when this bizarre toy line will be released but at the very least we know they’ll cost a rather affordable 850 yen a piece.

At the same time, Bandai’s youtube channel posted a teaser for the Ultra Noodle Series which you can view in the box below:

Bandai continue to gear up to the release of Shin Godzilla (aka Godzilla: Resurgence) with yet another entry into the growing collection of Godzilla x Evangelion merchandise. The Premium Bandai web store is now taking preorders for a 30cm Series 2002 MechaGodzilla (also known as ‘Kiryu‘) in Eva Unit 01 (purple) and Unit 02 (red) colours!

These large and highly detailed vinyl figures each come with different weapons backpacks – Unit 01’s is based on the version from Godzilla x Mechagodzilla while Unit 02’s is from Tokyo S.O.S. They are also only for the most dedicated of collectors, with a hefty price tag of 29,160 yen each.

Both figures can be yours in November 2016. Be sure to check out the full image selection after the jump!

The S.H.Monster Arts line dives into yet another era of Godzilla, this one based on his Godzilla VS Biollante appearance.

S.H.Monster Arts Godzilla 1989 commands a very high price point with a suggested MSRB of 19,980 yen.

But what separates this King of Monsters from previous releases are a few built in features activated via a set of switches built into the figure’s neck: according to the product page the first function activates an LED gimmick which lights up the spines and mouth to replicate the iconic Atomic Roar attack, the second function seems to be a sound feature which plays BGMs straight from the movie.

S.H.Monster Arts Godzilla 1989 appears to be a standard release, and will drop sometime in October 2016.

While Tamashii Features might be dying down, the latest scans of Figureoh magazine have teased Series 4 of Kamen Rider Converge.

While there’s no release info as of yet, we know from preliminary sketches that Series 4 will include: Kamen Rider Blade, Joker Undead, Another Agito, and finally Hibiki. 

Stay tuned and we’ll bring you more info on this set as it’s been announced.

Continuing on with the Kamen Rider W theme of Converge, two new Premium Bandai sets have gone up for pre order.

The second one is the FFR set, which contains Cyclone Cyclone and Joker Joker from W X Decade Movie Taisen, though the pictures don’t indicate if this set retains the half change gimmick.

Either way, both sets will be released in September, the W Max Edition will retail for 6,480 yen while the FFR W set will be slightly cheaper at 1,899 yen.

Kamen Ride,
DECADE!

It’s time once again for TokuNation to take a look at a brand new update to a classic (if divisive) character with S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade! The 5th release in Bandai’s line of high end, premium style figuarts, Decade seeks to rectify the mistakes of the previous 2 releases this character received.

In every aspect where the original Decade figuarts failed, Seihou Decade succeeds perfectly. This figure has proportions, colors, features, & accessories that outclass the old release in every way. We finally have a Decade figuart with not only an accurate head, but a functioning Decadriver (that’s properly painted too!) but also quality Rider Cards to use with it. Decade also comes with all 3 forms of the Ride Booker, he even comes with hands for any situation including for use with the previously released S.H. Figuarts Machine Decader! topping off this selection Decade includes his alternate evil Violent Emotion head from Movie Wars 2010.

We’ve included a selection of images of this fantastic figure with this post, but over 60 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.
