Just in time for the end of the year we have another behemoth Rider Machine to review! Not to be entirely outdone by Kamen Rider Drive’s Tridoron,[/URL] the late Showa classic Kamen Rider Black RX swoops in with this massive release to round out the year. S.H. Figuarts Ridoron!

The Ridoron, much like Black RX’s other ally Acrobatter, is a sentient machine that allied itself with RX in the battle against Crisis Empire. The Ridoron figuart is yet another excellent huge addition to the line following in the footsteps of other big releases like Machine Itasha & Tridoron. This one is a very straightforward release with no real accessories aside from the antennae you need to attach. However Ridoron does feature some excellent action features in the form of spring-loaded mandibles in the front bumper and functional turbines in the rear!

S.H. Figuarts Ridoron is another welcome addition to any Kamen Rider Black or Black RX collection. Feel free to check out over 30 images of Ridoron as well as a full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.  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!

The first set to be avalaible will contain Eyecons representing Riders from Kuuga through Decade each one will be done up in a spiffy metallic paint job and it seems like they’ll have a personalized display stand for every one.

Pre Orders will begin December 28th, 2015 and will be released in March 2016. The set will cost a rather reasonable 7,777 yen before middleman fees and shipping for collectors overseas. Do note that while pictured, the W through Drive Eyecons shown in the pre order page will not be included in this set and will be released separately at another date.

You may recall that on this day last year we posted our very first 2.0 Gallery kicking off our journey of self-improvement of some of our previous works. That gallery was none other than S.H. Figuarts Gokai Christmas! This year we wanted to remind you of this awesome figure on Christmas and also let you know that this gallery is good for an entry in this years Toku Toy Box! As with any other Toku Toy Box eligible gallery you just need to make a relevant (non-spam) post in this thread to give yourself another entry in out giveaway!

For a little refresher on this figure, Gokai Christmas was a special form achieved by Gokai Silver in Episode 44 of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. A Christmas themed episode itself, Silver/Gai sought to be more festive in the battle against Zangyack and so using his special abilities merged the Gokai Red & Green Ranger Keys! The result is this fantastic repaint that was released in 2013 as a Toei Hero.Net exclusive.

Though we’re sharing this gallery once again to celebrate the Christmas holiday, we know that many of our friends, family members, & staff also celebrate entirely different holidays all around the world. We’d like to take this moment to not only wish the community a Merry Christmas but also Happy Holidays! No matter what you may celebrate TokuNation is happy to have you here and we’re thrilled to continue yet another successful year with you.

It’s been a busy 24 hours for the 40th anniversary sentai, behind the scenes images, blurry catalog reveals, and finally a decent look at the toys we’re about to come to know for the next year.

In these clearest images yet from the Doubutsu Sentai Jyuouger toy catalog we’re treated to a full resolution look at the series initial main mecha, DX Jyuuou King! As well as looks at the first 8 Cube Animals in their alternate forms. This of course includes a small tease of Cube Gorilla & Giraffe. These images also give us our best look yet at the Jyuuougers themselves:

Jyuuoh Eagle
Jyuuoh Shark
Jyuuoh Lion
Jyuuoh Elephant
Jyuuoh Tiger

While there are most assuredly more images still to come related to Jyuuouger, for now these are the abosolute best quality we’ve seen. We’ll keep you up to date as more images begin to circulate!

Kamen Rider Ghost makes it’s first foray into Premium Bandai territory, with their first offering having just been revealed as the Ganma Ghost Eyecon three pack set!

Following up from the reveal of Chou Mashin Chaser, Bandai has released an official PV promoting the DX Break Gunner (Drive Saga Version) & Rhino Super Viral Core! This new version of the Break Gunner is a slight repaint/retool of the original DX mold which allows it to accept the Rhino Super Viral Core. It also features several new sound clips from the Kamen Rider Chaser V-Cinema.

Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser will be released in April on DVD & Blu-Ray alongside the above Premium Bandai set. The DX Break Gunner & Rhino Super Viral Core retails for 10,800 yen.

Premium Bandai has been on a Ranger Key kick this year with announcements of sets like the Sentai Lost Legend & ToQger Rainbow keys. Today brings yet another awesome reveal with the introduction of the Ranger Key EX Metal Heroes Edition Set!

This incredible new set will contain the primary Metal Hero of every series fromg Uchuu Keiji Gavan up through Blue Swat! A premium set of Metal Hero key previously released in conjunction with Super Hero Taisen Z contains the other lead heroes absent from this set. The following are included:

-Gavan
-Sharivan
-Shaider
-Juspion
-Spielban
-Metalder
-Fire
-Solbraver
-Swat Sho
-Gavan Type G

Curiosuly that’s yet another set of Metal Hero keys where Toei has conveniently forgotten the final 2 series of the franchise. B-Robo Kabutack, which shared a crossover with both B-Fightes. And the follow-up to Kabutack, Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack. Perhaps those keys will be released eventually. For now the EX Metal Hero Key set will retail for 13,500 yen and be released in February!
