Updated with pricing for both!

Despite reports to the contrary for months, it seems that Super Sentai S.H. Figuarts are far from over! Following hot on the heels of Aka Ranger shipping next month, we have the reveal of another classic Showa era Sentai red! Apparently slated for a December release is S.H. Figuarts Vul Eagle from Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan! Vul Eagle will be a retail in december for 4860 yen.

In another surprising reveal the 2nd of the 3 “Showa” movie riders has also been revealed! Joining ranks with the recently released Kamen Rider Shin is S.H. Figuarts  Kamen Rider Zo! ZO will be released along side Vul Eagle, also as a retail release in December, for 4536 yen! Could a release for the third movie rider, Kamen Rider J, be far behind? Time will tell!

Some new information about the upcoming Kamen Rider Drive toyline has surfaced online. Keep in mind once again ALL DETAILS REGARDING KAMEN RIDER DRIVE REMAIN UNCONFIRMED BY OFFICIAL SOURCES. The actual toys & weapons may not match our early concepts!

 

Thanks to previous catalog leaks we know the collectors’ gimmick for Kamen Rider Drive is Shift Cars which will unlock new powers. Based on these recent reveals, we can identify some of the Shift Cars that will be available in early waves:

*Set 02 will contain Shift Dimension and Shift Dream Pegasus

*Gashapon Set 02 features Shift Burning Solar

In addition, Drive will also use Tires as a secondary gimmick. Based on the brief glimpses we have of Kamen Rider Drive’s suit thus far, we can assume the Tires will grant Drive new armor and weapons. Tires will be sold as add-ons for the TK collectible action-figure series (this years’ answer to Arms Change). Some Tires will be sold with new Drive figures, some will be sold only as sets (similar to the Module Changes from Kamen Rider Fourze).

*TK 02 will contain the Funky Spike, Massive Monster and Justice Hunter Tires.

*TK 03 is Drive’s second Type, Wild and includes the Rumble Dump Tire

*TK 04 contains Dream Pegasus, Mad Doctor and Spin Mixer Tires

*TK 05 features Drive’s third type, Technique and includes the Fire Braver Tire.

 

Definitely sounds like a winning assortment for the newest Kamen Rider! Feel free to join in our Ongoing Kamen Rider Drive Rumor Discussion Thread and share your thoughts about this latest reveal!

Bonjour!

Bandai is back at it again with the second release in their Premium Arms Change line! ACPB02 is none other than Kamen Rider Bravo! And today we’re here to take an in depth look at Mister Dangerous himself, in more ways than one.

As always seems to be the case with Arms Change figures Bravo is yet another home run. More than a simple repaint/remold Bravo features extensive retooling of the Baron/Gridon/Duke base body. But more importantly he comes with his brand new Durian Arms and his signature weapons the Duri Nokos! If you thought Bujin Gaim was a premium release then allow Bravo to redefine what Premium really means for Arms Change. This figure is beautifully painted and detailed, despite being from what was originally just a mass retail gimmick line. This militant pastry chef mercenary nutjob will sit proudly on a shelf with the rest of your Arms Change collection and look incredibly good while doing it.

After the jump we’ve assembled a full 80 image gallery of this wonderful figure including more than a few fun ones. Also included is as many Arms Changes as  you can make with EVERY figure in the line right now thanks to Bravo! But before you check out our selection of images by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” be sure to look bellow for another wonderful video review by the one and only Baltmatrix! We’ll be trying to coordinate in the future to bring you more of these timed gallery & video pairings as well!

As Bandai of Japan & Banpresto hold their annual summer toy festival we’re seeing a lot of what we’ve seen before in terms of our favorite Japanese heroes. However a few new items have snuck out and onto display that we haven’t quite seen yet. In some cases we’ve got better shots of a few things we’ve only glimpsed til now.

On display at the moment are the various minipla from Ressha Sentai ToQger including the upcoming Safari Ga Oh as well as several other combinations like Cho Cho ToQ Dai Oh. But of special note is the upcoming Rainbow Clear SP set of ToQ Oh & Diesel Oh! This set was initially revealed via an imageless Amiami pre-order but now we can see them in their wonderful translucent glory.

While we’re on ToQger some new vinyls have also been unveiled which will definitely please fans of the series. Joining the likes of General Schwartz & the Kuros is Baron Nero of the Shadow Line! On top of that we have some ToQ Changed versions of  ToQ 1 in Pink & Yellow!

Topping things off for Kamen Rider Gaim is the previously revealed DX Yomi Lock Seed & Arms Change Ryugen Yomotsu Heguri Arms which are also on display here. Finally have some better close up shots of the pair. And the placard next to Ryugen apparently confirms that he will indeed come with the Overlord’s weapons! And not to be left out Banpresto has some more Dual Solid Hero Kamen Rider figures on display as well!

Blood Orange Arms!

Despite the end of the retail AC line, TokuNation returns with a brand new Arms Change Gallery! Up today is the first of several figures to be released by Premium Bandai, ACPB01 Kamen Rider Bujin Gaim!

Bujin Gaim is the evil warrior god counterpart of Kamen Rider Gaim from The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle film. This dark rider bears a resemblance to Gaim but wields the powerful Blood Orange Arms. As a toy Bujin Gaim is a straight up repaint of the figure that started it all, AC01 Kamen Rider Gaim. But seeing as this is a Premium Bandai release, it’s been given the premium paint treatment! Cast in a gorgeous red the striking Blood Orange Arms are decorated with the devilish black lines that truly set Bujin Gaim apart from his good counterpart. With his own Daidaimaru & Musou Saber in hand, this figure is ready to compliment any Arms Change collection!

If you’d like to see over 60 images of this wonderful figure, including every possible Arms Change you can make with him, then be sure to click “Discuss on  the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post!

And be sure to stop back by next  Wednesday, 8/13 as Baltmatrix and myself team-up once again to bring you a simultaneous Photo Gallery & Video review of Mister Dangerous himself, Kamen Rider Bravo!
