Battle Mode!

At long last Bandai is set to release the highly anticipated S.H. Figuarts Auto Vaijin from Kamen Rider Faiz! 

As a tease of it’s upcoming release they’ve streamed a FULL transformation video of the figure. The best part however is that the video confirms two things. 1, the included Faiz in the Faiz/Vaijin 2-pack will indeed have accurate silver tipped fingers. 2, this Auto Vaijin is not only 100% transformable but it requires a mere single extra part to facilitate this transformation, and that’s only to hold the rear wheel assembly in place! Everything else is pure engineered awesomeness.

Bandai has announced a second special Kamen Rider Gaim set, featuring two DX Lock Seeds and corresponding faceplates for the Sengoku Driver.

This new set contains DX Matsubokkuri (“Pinecone”) and Kurimi (“Walnut”), the perfect set for fans of Armored Rider Kurokage and Armored Rider Knuckle! Even though Knuckle actually has NO faceplate since he uses the mass-production driver but that’s another story altogether.

In addition, Bandai has also revealed a special bonus for people who buy this set or the previously announced DX Durian/Acorn set: the “SID” Lock Seed! This golden decorative device was seen in the Lock Dealers’ possession relatively early in the series but its actual powers are still unknown.

The DX Pinecone and Walnut set will be released on June 30 and has a relatively affordable price tag of 4000 Yen

While the long awaited Arms Change Kamen/Armored Rider Bravo figure was unveiled with a single picture a few weeks ago, the official Bandai Kamen Rider Gaim product page has now updated with a whole range of pictures of this fantastic looking figure.

As well as a better look at the Bravo figure, the page also features images of how the Durian arms look on the previously released Gaim, Gridon and Shin Zangetsu figures. There is also a short promotional video for the figure, which can be viewed below.

Best of all, the page features a teaser look at the next two Premium Bandai exclusive figures to be released in the line – a 2-pack of Energy Riders Sigurd and Marika!

Preorders for Bravo himself will open on Monday on the Bandai Premium store, costing 4000 yen and due for release in May.

Price details on both are not yet confirmed so stay tuned for further details!

Even though the world is still eagerly awaiting the release of the Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Baron S.H. Figuarts, Tamashii Nations have begun teasing the next two figures that will be following them! On the Bandai Tamashii Nations website’s Gaim themed page, new images of both Kamen Rider Zangetsu and the Sakura Hurricane bike have been uploaded.

As for pricing details Zangetsu will be 3800 yen & Sakura Hurricane will be 4200 yen, both will be released in June 2014.

While some of the most anticipated S.H.

Youtube user Otona7592 got his hands on the recently released DX ToQ Changer from Ressha Sentai ToQger. And as with previous sentai and rider years, it’s time for another hack of the years gimmick! Revealed by hacking the DX ToQ Changer Otona has uncovered 4 new Ressha sounds, confirming at least 4 more unseen and unheard of Ressha vehicles!

Dozer Ressha
Mixer Ressha
Hyper Ressha
Safari Ressha

Based on some of the other previously revealed Resshas the combinations possible with these could be very interesting indeed. Something akin to Boukengers Ultimate Daibouken perhaps? Either way, this confirmation of 4 new machines brings the grand total (including ToQ Oh’s components) up to 17 Resshas!

Today is the official release date of the toyline for Ressha Sentai ToQger in Japan! Just 3 days ahead of it’s premiere on February 16th in the Super Hero Time slot. Some reviewers have already gotten their hands on these awesome toys and have begun sharing their first impressions!

TokuNation will also have official galleries and reviews of the DX ToQ Oh, ToQ Buckle, ToQ Changer, and ToQ Blaster in the coming weeks. But for now check out the above review of the DX ToQ Oh by youtube user k2eizo.

Wonderfest 2014 has begun! This annual unveiling of upcoming Japanese merchandise always has a few surprises for tokusatsu fans, and this year things start off on a Dangerous note:

We now have our first look at SH Figuarts Armored Rider Bravo, complete with one of the best displays Bandai has ever put up! In addition, three Armored Rider Kurokage Figuarts are on display. These 3 appear to be of the MP Kurokage Trooper variety lacking faceplate details and having silver belts. We’re waiting for confirmation of how these figure will be released and how a standard Hasse Kurokage will be released relating to them.

Stay tuned to TokuNation this weekend as we keep you up to date on all the Wonfest reveals!

The 5th Armored Rider of Kamen Rider Gaim joins the fray in the ever popular Arms Change toyline! 

Like his fellow riders released before him Kamen Rider Gridon comes packed with his trademark Donguri (Acorn) Arms, his arms weapon the Donkachi, as well as a personal Lock Vehicle, the Dandeliner! Though the Dandeliner has only been seen to be used up to this point by the Kurokage troopers, this release would imply that Gridon will use it soon enough. Though if you try to troop build these vehicles for your Kurokage army, you’ll have a rather large excess of Gridons.

Gridon succeeds in being yet another fun an intuitive addition to an ever growing line, and his vehicle takes a crack at some of the shortcomings of the previously released Lock Vehicle bikes. On the whole this one is another clear winner for Bandai of Japan. As seems to be the case with almost any Arms Change figure, this one is also a very welcome addition to the line!
