On top of the incredible looking S.I.C. Kamen Rider Gaim Orange Arms revealed earlier today we have new images showcasing 3 more S.I.C. Gaim Riders! No other information is available currently but we have initial images of:

S.I.C. Kamen Rider Baron Banana Arms

S.I.C. Kamen Rider Zangetsu Melon Arms

S.I.C. Kamen Rider Ryugen Budou arms

These 3 are already looking just as impressive as Gaim himself. Time will tell if these figures, or even Gaim, see an actual release. But for now enjoy these images as our coverage of Tamashii Nations 2015 continues!

The first day of the show has wound down but Tamashii Nations 2015 will go on through this weekend. We’ve had a ton of reveals up to this point but a LOT more are apparently on the way as more sections of the show are made available to the general public. A portion of the rumored figures list comes from The Ghouly News, but still take it with a bit of salt as we can’t confirm some of these figures yet. Thanks to some teaser images released by Bandai we have at least a few confirmed things to look forward to:

S.H. Figuarts
Ultra Seven
Ultraman Zoffy
Ultraman Ace
Ultraman jack
Ultraman Taro
Ultraman Leo
Darkraider
Shinkochu Seiho N Daguva Zeba
Shinkochu Seiho Kuuga Ultimate
Kamen Rider Ghost Ore Damashii
Kamen Rider Ghost Edison Damashii
Kamen Rider Ghost Robin Hood Damashii
Kamen Rider Ghost Newton Damashii
Kamen Rider Spectre
Machine Ghostriker

There are still yet more releases coming and this is only a partial list of what’s been seen and what’s been hinted at. Rest assured that Tamashii Nations 2015 is not over and we will continue to pour over the internet until we have more concrete information to share.

Change, 01!

TokuNation is back with the finale (for now) of it’s classic Showa Kikaider galleries! Kikaider 01 is finally complete with the S.H. Figuarts Double Machine!

Kikaider 01’s Double Machine is the successor to his brother the original Kikaiders’ Side Machine. A beast of a vehicle, the Double Machine dwarfs it’s predecessor and many other Figuarts bikes. It’s a big, beautifully sculpted and lavishly painted ride that will fit in perfectly with any Kiakider collection. So far the Double Machine is the final Kikaider release from Bandai in the S.H. Figuarts line but a number of other prototypes, primarily for Kikaider Reboot, have been shown off previously. So there is some hope that the line isn’t dead yet. But for now this is a magnificent send off for Kikaider fans.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can check out the full 25+ image gallery of the S.H. Figuarts Double Machine by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And please feel free to browse the previous Kikaider galleries we’ve posted!

Ahead of it’s official debut at Tamashii Nations 2015 next week, a teaser image has just cropped up of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ghost Ore Damashii!

Though the image is shadowed out we can see Ghost Ore Damashii clearly looks like his on screen counterpart and at least includes his Gan Gun Saber. Other accessories and features are currently unknown at this point, as are pricing and release date.

Be sure to follow our coverage of Tamashii Nations 2015 from October 30th-November 1st next week! We’re sure to see more of S.H. Figuarts Ghost Ore Damashii & a host of other new reveals there!

Hail Hakaider!

We’re back with another blast from the past from Kikaider 01! But this time we’re taking a look at a massive release from this series. The Toei Hero Net Exclusive S.H. Figuarts Hakaider Squad!

The Hakaider Squad was created by Gill Hakaider in the opening moments of Kikaider 01 in order to finish taking over the world. A formidable team these beings were created from the brains of deceased DARK scientists. Each of the Hakaider Squad members also specializes in their own form of combat thanks to their personalized weapons. Red Hakaider wields the Missile Bowgun to take enemies down from a distance. Blue Hakaider makes use of his deadly Magnetic Whip to strangle foes. And lastly the Silver Hakaider has both long & short versions of his powerful Electron Staff!

The Hakaider Squad is an amazing trio of figures that finally gives your Hakaider &or Gill Hakaider an army to command. These 5 uses of the mold together make a truly amazing display. We’ve got over 40 images of the S.H. Figuarts Hakaider Squad after the jump, and an in depth breakdown of the figures & their accessories too. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see it all!
