Hot on the heels of the Arms Change release of this form, Tamashii Nations has just officially confirmed the release details of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomotsuheguri Arms!

Ryugen Yomotsuheguri Arms will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in June for 5400 yen. Ryugen also includes the same type of awesome Overlord Weapons that the Arms Change figure does! Though we only have a small selection of official images for this figure it’s already looking to be another incredible addition to any Kamen Rider Gaim collection!

Drive: Type Fruits! On Stage!

Kamen Rider Drive is knocking it out of the park again with another release in it’s Tire Koukan toy line, TK-SP Kamen Rider Drive Type Fruits!

This form, based on Kamen Rider Gaim’s trademark Orange Arms & exclusive to the Drive X Gaim Full Throttle movie, takes the asymmetry of Drive’s base Type Speed and mixes it up with some very interesting samurai armor. The Type Fruits Tire included creates some new hip & shoulder armor & a kasa style hat completes the samurai look. But as a a true Gaim homage it isn’t complete without a Daidaimaru & Musou Saber for Drive to wield! 

As far as movie exclusive forms go, this one is definitely one of the more interesting. And once again, our favorite youtube reviewer Baltmatrix has also contributed a video review of Drive Type Fruits. Check out the full video below!

After the jump we’ve assembled over 70 images of this fruitastic figure! So be sure to check them out and read on for a full review and breakdown of this figures features! Baltmatrix and I wil return soon with another one-teo punch of Drive action with the DX Ride Crosser & TK-07 Kamen Rider Mach!

Let’s Henshin!

Break, Up!

This dark anti-hero and former Kamen Rider from Kamen Rider Drive finally joins the Tire Koukan toy line! Today we’re looking at TK-06 Mashin Chaser!

So far the only villain in the Tire Koukan line, Mashin Chaser takes the gimmick and twists it just a little bit. As in the show Chaser’s Tire Koukan attachment point is on his back, meaning jsut about any tire you want to attach to him won’t interfere with how this figure functions. Mashin Chaser comes with his trusty Break Gunner but also includes his very own version of the gimmick in the form of the E-Circular multi-weapon! It even includes attachments to form his 3 signature Viral Core upgrades: Tail Whipper, Wing Sniper, & Fang Spidey!

If those features aren’t enough to convince then perhaps a video review by my friend and frequent contributor Baltmatrix will! As always we’ve tried to team-up and tackle this figure on both review fronts.

Be sure to click the link at the bottom of this post to be taken to a gallery featuring over 60 images of TK-06 Mashin Chaser including every Tire Koukan combo possible with it!

A new trailer for the upcoming V-cinema Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden has just streamed! Giving us our first good look at this film we see Zangetsu using the Proto-Suika Lock Seed for the first time engaged in combat with Kamen Rider Idun, and we’re treated to Baron using the forbidden Taboo Lock Seed to take on Kamen Rider Tyrant!

This video not only provides a look at this exciting new film, but we’re also given a chance to see how the DX Taboo Lock Seed functions. And who better to show these features off than Kamen Rider Baron himself?! When used with a Sengoku Driver the phrase “Ringo Arms! Desire, Forbidden, Fruits!” plays. The Taboo Lock Seed will be included in a 2-pack with the Kamen Rider Idun rider indicator faceplate.

Check out the full video below!

A blast from the past, 1993 to be exact, the titular hero of the film Kamen Rider ZO has arrived in S.H. Figuarts form!

Rounding out the end of 2014 S.H. Figuarts releases is Kamen Rider ZO. From the second film in Toei’s trio of 90’s rider movies, ZO (spoken as Zet-O) is in that murky era that Toei considers Showa, but is actually Heisei. In any case this Showa Rider is one of the more streamlined suits of his era diverging largely from his predecessor Kamen Rider Shin. ZO includes several sets of additional hands as well as an alternate head featuring his Break Toother mouthplate, as well as small Grasshopper with optional wing parts. This grasshopper is one of those used by Dr. Mochizuki to contact ZO telepathically throughout the film.

With 50 images to view after the jump, is there any better way to round out our Toku Toy Box galleries than with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider ZO? This gallery marks your FINAL chance to enter into our giveaway. Simply post in the discussion thread after the jump to be entered in for a chance to win our Top Gear Rider Legends Prize Pack! Winners of all 4 prize packs will be chosen tomorrow. Official rules as well as prize pack breakdowns can be viewed here.

Follow the sun!

TokuNation has indeed caught the sun with this gallery from Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan! In this installment we’re taking a look at the team leader of Sun Vulcan, S.H. Figuarts Vul Eagle!

Released just at the end of 2014, Vul Eagle begins a new subline of Sentai Figuarts and apparently a new level of quality as well. In my personal opinion Vul Eagle is one of the best sentai figuarts ever produced. This figure truly captures the look of the actual suit, is exquisitely detailed, and includes just about every accessory possible. Multiple sets of hands, 2 versions of the Vulcan Stick, and a very special Katana that allows you to display this figure as either version of the character! Vul Eagle I Ryusuke Oowashi, or Vul Eagle II Takayuki Hiba, his katana wielding successor!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but check out over 50 images of this incredible release after the jump. And be sure to leave a comment in the attached discussion thread for an entry in our Toku Toy Box giveaway! This gallery will qualify you for a chance to win our All Aboard Sentai Prize Pack. Full prize pack breakdowns and details for Toku Toy Box are posted here.
