New information for the first wave of Kamen Rider Drive toys has finally been revealed! These new catalog images are the first chance so far to examine details of Kamen Rider Drive’s arsenal.

*The DX Drive Driver will be released October 2 for 7600 Yen. The Driver is sold with 2 Shift Cars, DX Speed and Max Flare. Shift Cars are loaded on the Shift Bracelet (sold with Driver) and scanned to unlock various lights & sounds on the main belt.

*The DX Shift Car Holder- an add-on piece to hold 3 more Shift Cars- will also be released October 2nd and will come with the DX Funky Spike Shift Car. This set will cost 2400 Yen.

*Rounding out the October 2nd releases is TK 01, the first gimmick-based action figure for this new series. 01 features Drive’s Type Speed suit and will cost 3200 Yen.

*Mid-October will see the release of DX Trideron, Drives’ personal vehicle (presumably) compatible with the action figure series. Trideron will be sold with the DX Midnight Shadow Shift Car and is priced at 6800 Yen.

Drive definitely seems to be starting off on the right track!

Joining Vul Eagle this December is S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider ZO, star of the one shot 1993 movie of the same name. Priced 4536 yen (including tax), ZO comes packaged with three pairs of alternate hands, an alternate head with exposed Break Toother and a scaled grasshopper that appears in the movie.

As the Showa Kamen Riders (as well as the all of the main Kamen Riders) grow very near completion, check out the official images after the jump. Preorders for the figure go up September 1st!

under Super Sentai

After a brief period where many fans seemed unsure of the fate of the Super Sentai line of S.H. Figuarts, it seems Bandai have decided to catch the sun with the announcement of S.H. Figuarts Vul Eagle! The red hero from the fifth Super Sentai series Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan, Vul Eagle will come packaged with a selection of alternate hands, Vulcan Stick (both extended and holstered) and the sword used by the second Vul Eagle – Takayuki Hiba.

Vul Eagle is a mass release Figuart due in December 2014, priced 4860 yen (tax included). Preorders will go up September 1st, so in the meantime check out the full-sized images of this Showa era Sentai hero after the jump!

One of the most underrated guests from this year’s Power Morphicon was Tsuyoshi Nonaka, the man behind numerous designs and mechas from Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Power Rangers, and the creator of the Soul of Chogokin series of figures targeted to adult collectors. Tsuyoshi Nonaka was in attendance at this year’s Power Morphicon and brought with him a custom rebuild of the classic Power Rangers Zeo Pyramidas, which was the carrier zord of the Gold Ranger (or if you prefer, the Kingranger‘s mecha King Pyramidder).

Check out these images of the BEAUTIFUL custom by clicking the story title. Join in the discussion and share your thoughts! Don’t you think it’s time the Power Rangers community got some of the same amazing customizers that frequent the Transformers fandom?

Dino Buckler!

It’s time folks! The final S.H. Figuarts release from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger is here! Recently released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in Japan, today we’re looking at S.H. Figuarts Tiger Ranger!

Tiger Ranger is the final member to be released to complete your team of Zyurangers or Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and man does this figure pack a punch! Included with Boi are of course the trade mark weapons he needs like his Saber Daggers. But also thrown in there is the final piece to complete the mighty Howling Cannon AKA the Power Blaster from MMPR! As another excellent release based around the Zyuranger body, S.H. Figuarts Tiger Ranger is the perfect final addition to any Zyuranger or Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Collection.

There’s also a female bodied version of this figure just released by Bluefin as the original MMPR Yellow Ranger for North American markets. So there hasn’t been a release of this actual Tiger Ranger figure seen here in domestic markets outside Japan. As is this guy is starting to fetch a pretty penny on the secondary market so if you’d rather own this version you may want to look sooner than later. And if you’re interested to see the female bodied Yellow Ranger we’ll have a gallery of it coming up later this week as well!

For now if you’d like to check out a 70 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Tiger Ranger then click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken right to the thread!

Revealed just a few days ago, we have our first prototype images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Baron Lemon Energy Arms! This figure will be released as a Tamashii Nations 2014 exclusive, retailing for 5000 yen at the show this fall.

However don’t be too worried about trying to get this figure. In years past Tamashii Nations show exclusives have been made available to order on the Tamashii Web Exclusive Store at a later date. Previous examples being Ryuki Blank Form & Den-O Super Climax. So there’s probably a good chance this will be available for order there.

For now check out the images after the jump!

Super Hero Taisen? Lame. Super hero Taisen Z? Super Lame. Heisei VS Showa Kamen Rider Taisen? Even longer and lamer.

You want a real crossover? Then look no further than here! Today we have a surprise for our viewers! We’ve partnered with the awesome guys at Collection DX to bring you Super Review Wars DX!

As a part of Super Review Wars TokuNation has done an exchange program of sorts on a figure gallery. On our end we’re presenting an S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Decade Violent Emotion gallery & review, courtesy of the very awesome Jmann (@JmannDX on Twitter) & SentaiSeiya (@SentaiSeiya on Twitter) of CDX & Power Toku Show DX fame! Meanwhile they’ve been kind enough to host my S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Mighty Form Gallery at CDX!

But Super Review Wars DX extends far beyond just our two sites. CDX has partnered with several other sites including Preorder66, Doomkick, Herotaku, and more to bring the wider toy community some awesome reviews! Be sure to check them out as well! But for now, Onore Decade!!

 

under Godzilla

Bandai has put up an official page for the next massive MonsterArts release: Mecha King Ghidorah! This page confirms that Ghidorah’s newest release will include three miniature Dorat figurines- an excellent touch for Godzilla buffs!

The mighty robotic dragon will be up for orders starting August 22 with an anticipated release in February 2015. The price is a steep 19,440 Yen before shipping & handling. Definitely a lot of coin but probably worth it for such a beautiful figure.

Bandai isn’t done with Kamen Rider Gaim quite yet! It seems we’ll still be getting Lock Seeds well into Drive’s Premiere!

The Rider Lock Seeds will be continuing, featuring characters from Ichigo to J. There’s currently no word on when these new Seeds will be coming out, but the Showa lock Seed from the Movie Taisen set should give you an idea of what to expect.

This gorgeous ride will go perfectly with the soon to be released S.H. Figuarts Hakaider.

S.H. Figuarts White Crow is of course the personal rider of this evil Showa menace from the Kikader TV series! Soon to be release as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, White Crow will retail for 5940 yen, and will be released in February. Most SHF bikes don’t include a ton of accessories so we’ll have to wait and see if this one does. As is though it is one sweet classic ride for an even more classic villain.
