Advent!

It’s time once again to visit a classic rider series. A favorite here at TokuNation, Kamen Rider Ryuki was featured in one of our earliest Let’s Watch Wednesdays segments. Well today, courtesy of site sponsor Entertainment Earth, we’re happy to bring you yet another gallery from Ryuki. This time it’s the Pseudo Rider, S.H. Figuarts Alternative Zero!

Entertainment Earth

Alternative Zero being a pseudo rider, shares many characteristics at a basic level with the other Ryuki riders. But being based on a copy of the rider technology Alternative Zero gives off a much more imposing, and evil exterior. An incredible looking, and well made figure, S.H. Figuarts Alternative Zero is the perfect addition to any Ryuki (or even Dragon Knight) collection.

Check out the full gallery, and review of this figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And be sure to head  over to Entertainment Earth to fulfill your Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Power Rangers, Ultraman, Godzilla, and other tokusatsu needs!

Were you a fan of Let’s Watch Wednesdays with Ultraman Nexus? If so then you’re in luck, on top of our previous Ultraman Nexus Junis Red & Junis Blue galleries we have a special web exclusive treat for you! Today we have a gallery of Ultra-Act Dark Zagi!

Zagi himself is a dark clone or copy of Nexus’ original form, Ultraman Noa. As such he has immense power at his control and is wildly violent. First rearing his ugly mug  in the Nexus finale, Zagi (or at least some version of him) would later return in Ultraman Ginga briefly. Though not the first or last dark giant or evil/dark Ultra, Zagi is certainly one of the most vile. Schemeing for decades towards his ultimate goal Zagi has gone down as one of the great Ultra villains. And this figure more than lives up to the image of that character, a welcome addition to any Ultra-Act collection.

With the 38th Super Sentai still several weeks away, Bandai Japan is setting up the promotion train- in style!

The Fashion Network best known for excellent detailed recreations of tokusatsu hero clothing is now offering a variety of Toqger merchandise- including shirts, team jackets and conductor uniforms for the “Rainbow Line!”

A wide variety of items are available but the cost may be too much for some collectors (the jackets run in the 40000-yen range). But they may be enjoyable for fans with good fashion cents!

Youtube reviewer “Wotakufighter” has put up a new review featuring the latest Gaim “Arms Change” release- Armored Rider Gridon and his new Lock Vehicle, the Dandeliner!

This set should be arriving at retail stores this weekend, so those of you who were lucky enough to get preorders in should keep a close eye on your mailboxes!

UPDATED! Second video featuring the Dandeliner!

under Kamen Rider

The Super Imaginative Chogokin line continues its journey through Kamen Rider OOO with the official announcement of S.I.C. Mezool. Much like the S.I.C. Uva figure that came before it, the aquatic Greeed is a static statue rather than an articulated figure, but still features the stylisation the line is known for.

Mezool will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in June, priced 5184 yen.

under Godzilla

Just after we revealed their release via a magazine scan, Bandai’s Tamashii Webstore has updated with official images of the forthcoming S.H. MonsterArts Mothra and Battra larvae forms! This special 2-pack is of the monsters as they first appeared in the 1992 film Godzilla vs. Mothra, and retains the impressive size difference between the two. The set also comes with a special silk effect part for Mothra, and the text also mentions a stand (although this is not pictured).

The set is a Tamashii Web Exclusive due for release in June, and can be yours for the price of 10,800 yen. However as is the case with most MonsterArts figures, this is likely to be released in the West via Bluefin Tamashii Nations. We’ll bring you updates on that as they come!

under Garo

Are you all ready for brand new GARO this year? But before we move onto the new installments in this fast-growing franchise, the Makai Kado line has revealed two new releases from last year’s GARO: The One Who Shines in the Darkness.

This special 2-pack contains golden versions of Flame Knight Zen and Heavenly Bow Knight Gai, who were enhanced with the radiance of Garo’s golden armor in the series’ final battle against Zedom. As well as replacement hands for the two figures, this set also includes a special backdrop for the two figures to be displayed alongside the soon-to-be-released golden version of the Ryuga Garo armor.

The 2-pack is a Tamashii Web Exclusive due for release in June, priced 14,040 yen.
