The most recent post on Bandai’s S.H. Figuarts blog cycles through the official images of the upcoming Ride Striker release for Kamen Rider Zi-O. The post details the accessories it comes with as well as it’s compatibility with both Zi-O and Geiz. However, at the end of the post is an odd teaser.

“次回、ジオウ＆ゲイツに強大な敵が立ちふさがる….!?”
“Next time, a mighty enemey will stop Zi-O & Geiz….!?”

The image attached is of the yet to be released Zi-O and Geiz Figuarts posed as though they’ve just lost a fight, while Decade stands tall in the background, back facing them. This image is very likely teasing something a lot of people have been hoping for since news of Decade’s return in Zi-O was made known. Given his turned back, this could very well indicate a potential reissue of the Shinkocchou Seihou Decade S.H. Figuart, though with the new magenta Neo Decadriver instead.

While there’s nothing more concrete to go on than that, the popular consensus is that we could be seeing the Destroyer of Worlds return to destroy our wallets once more. Time will tell if this is anything more than just a tease, and if it is, we’ll be sure to let you know!

Iori Izumi was born into the head Oni family of the Kanto region. A prodigy driven by loyalty to his family, and to his duty to defeat the Makamou, Izumi fully abandoned his human identity and fully became the Oni of the Izumi family, Kamen Rider Ibuki! After nay years of waiting, this master Oni of Breath arrives blow away any Makamou that stand in his path. For the first time ever, Ibuki makes his debut in the S.H. Figuarts line as a Shinkocchou Seihou!

Kamen Rider Hibiki finally joined the S.H. Figuarts line for the first time over 4 years ago, as only the 2nd Shinkocchou Seihou release, which set the bar fairly high at the time. After a long wait Hibiki’s secondary rider has arrived, so what can you expect? Well Ibuki shares the same physical body as Hibiki, just with new cosmetic changes to the armor. Decked out with brass styled pipes mimicking the Ongekikan Reppuu instrument he uses to destroy Makamou. Much like Hibiki this figure is packed down with accessories including his transformation whistle Onibue, and 3 disc animals. It’s really the full package.

Remember, this gallery qualifies you for entry in our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway as well! As the upcoming holidays allow us, we’ll have at least a couple more new galleries for Toku Toy Box as well. Look out for Garo, Amazons, and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid content headed your way!

“Flame, Please.”

Haruto Soma was the only survivor of a dark Solar Eclipse ritual which saw the creation of a legion of monsters known as Phantoms. Assuming the likeness and identities of those humans they emerged from, Phantom’s invade the world of humans and use magic to wreak havoc. Only one man can stop them, the one who faced despair head on in the light of the eclipse and emerged to gain the power of magic from his hope. Haruto Soma became Kamen Rider Wizard!

FINALLY, after languishing for 6 years with one of the worst S.H. Figuarts ever made, the Shinkocchou Seihou renewal line has finally tackled the rider of hope! Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style is possibly one of the most stunning and astounding figuarts I’ve ever handled. A magnificent recreation of a dynamic suit design, this stylish figure is everything that Wizard fans have ever wanted. Interchangeable Wizard Rings, a multi-mode WizardSwordGun, and fully poseable Wizard Robes(!), make this one of the nicest Seihou releases to date. But don’t just take my word for it, see 100+ images in our full gallery thread!

Remember, this gallery qualifies you for entry in our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway as well! We’ll have another Toy Box gallery coming up this week to, as we revisit the Oni Riders of Kamen Rider Hibiki in over 4 years!

“Luna/Trigger!”

Toku Toy Box continues on and it’s time we return to a windy city called Fuuto, to revisit everyone’s favorite half-boild detective! When Shotaro Hidari & Philip combine their minds they become one as Kamen Rider W! But when the situation calls for something else, new Gaia Memories give W the edge he (they?) needs to take on the Museum’s Dopants. Using the Luna & Trigger Memories, Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger is formed!

The Shinkocchou Seihou line up of premium S.H. Figuarts renewals has been giving fans the long awaited do-overs they’ve requested for over 4 years now. Kamen Rider W Cyclone/Joker was perhaps one of the best figures to come out of this renewed line, though many many good figure’s have since as well. But that mold has proven to be near perfect in any of the various ways it’s been released. Luna/Trigger is just yet another amazing use of the Seihou W mold. If you know anything about this body type at all, you know you’re going to love this figure as well.

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger to this post. You can also check out our full review thread of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time Toku Toy Box gets *HOT* with a magical gallery from Kamen Rider Wizard!

Try not to let the fantastic news about Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger take your thoughts too far from our annual holiday giveaway. Toku Toy Box is headed back to the Armour Zone today with a ferocious new gallery of S.H. Figuarts Crow Amazon!

Given special permission to create a new Sigma Type, the 4C organization salvaged the remains of Iyu Hoshino, after her father’s deadly Amazon rampage. A weapon capable of defeating other Amazons, the only one other Sigma ever created was Jun Maehara AKA Kamen Rider Amazon Sigma. With Iyu’s rebirth, she gained strength and abilities far beyond most Amazons. While not a particularly extraordinary figure, Figuarts Crow feature’s some truly gorgeous sculpted details. Certainly more versatile than she first appears, Crow Amazon is a wonderful companion to Amazon Neo, or in fact any growing Amazons collection.

We’ve attached the full 40+ image gallery to this post but you can also read our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we head to the windy city of Fuuto once again! And if you need a refresher on the rules of Toku Toy Box then give them a quick read.

“Black Hazard! Oh no!”

Toku Toy Box is kicking off strong this year with a dangerous and deadly gallery from Kamen Rider Build!  An item of unmatched power, based upon something even more ancient and powerful, the Hazard Trigger was given to Sento Kiryu by Blood Stalk. Using it’s uncontrollable power, the black hazard, Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Hazard Form emerges! For better or worse Sento must use this dangerous power to fight. Now we take a look at the Tamashii Nations 2018 event exclusive S.H. Figuart of this form!

A brilliant repaint and remold of the original Build Rabbit/Tank mold, Build Hazard is sleek and sexy. A form that gives off an aura of power and danger, Hazard Form is easily one of the best Build releases in the line so far. All of the same standard articulation from the original mold is back, but we get a really gorgeous and fierce new helmet design and some fantastic new shoulder pad designs. While Hazard includes a few hands for posing, the truly impressive accessories with this figure are the Hawk/Gattling Hazard Form parts! We get a new head, the Hawk Gattlinger weapon, and the Taka & Gattling Full Bottles. More Figuarts should come with swap out accessories such as this.

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery of this impressive release to this post, but you can also check out our lengthy review by clicking the link below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be taken to our full review thread! In a couple days we’ll be back with another Toku Toy Box gallery, and this time, it’ll be of a truly impressive custom figure we’ve been waiting over a year to share with you!

“So you think you have what it takes to obtain the legendary power?”
“The fact that I’m here is proof enough.”

A free but guilty man, Masamune Dan sought to take back his company, defeat his son, and discontinue those pesky Kamen Riders. Resilient to all strains of the Bugster virus, Masamune was uniquely worthy to obtain the power of the one meant to defeat Gamedeus. With the ability to Pause & Restart, Masamune would become Kamen Rider Cronus! But Taiga Hanaya was the first rider chosen to fight the Bugsters. And as Kamen Rider Snipe he saved countless lives. In order to stop Masamune’s final plot, Taiga exposed himself to Kamen Rider Chronicle and using his Gamer Driver and two Chronicle Gashats, he’ll take on Cronus as, Kamen Rider Cronus!?

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cronus is a bit of a unique release. While we all know Masamune Dan as the menacing Cronus with his ability to control time, Taiga also proved himself worthy of the power near the series finale and would even go on to use this power once more in the Another Ending Trilogy. This figure can represent either version of the suit! While it comes standard with Masamune’s Buggle Driver Zwei, an alternate Gamer Driver with Chronicle Gashats is included as well so to display the figure as Taiga! Will your own Cronus be the hero or the villain of your collection. I’m a sucker and I bought two of them!

We’ve attached the full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cronus to this post but you can also check out the full review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time;

“It’s time. Finally, I will become the god amongst all gods!”

In a bid to create the ultimate game Zombie Chronicle, and restore the data of all those lost to the Bugster Virus, Kuroto Dan has obtained the power of god. Using the God Maximum Mighty X Gashat, Kuroto ascends to become Kamen Rider GenM God Maximum Gamer, Level Billion! And this unique S.H. Figuart has quite a a history to it.

GenM Level Billion is an all new mold, and honestly a surprising release. It’s been a couple years since Ex-Aid aired, and despite this we’ve still yet to see a number of Ex-Aid’s forms in S.H. FIguarts. But Kuroto Dan’s massive popularity continues to drive new releases for him, including this one. A repaint of an Ex-Aid figure that actually has still yet to release! Level Billion is a big beefy, and surprisingly well articulated figure that shine’s with GenM’s personality. The included extra hands and Gashacon Key Slasher also compliment the figure nicely.

We’ve attached the full gallery to this article. but you can also read our full review with this figure’s interesting background by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Following up from what will for now be the last GenM gallery, next time we tackle his father, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cronus!

“Grade Zero.”

The mighty Kuroto Dan has returned! Evil CEO turned Dangerous Zombie, now the one true Game Master has returned as Bugster! Revived thanks to Poppy the new Kuroto has 99 lives and all the time in the world to seek revenge on Kamen Rider Para-DX as well as his father Masamune. Back from the dead, this is our gallery & review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider GenM Action Gamer Level 0!

GenM has made a couple outings in this line as Level 2, Level X, and even Level Billion at this point, but Level 0 is the first one to truly cash in on Kuroto’s massive popularity. A very minor repaint of Level 2, Level 0 includes a ton of new accessories like the Bug Visor Zwei, a God Kuroto Dan effect sheet, Life Point Counters, and even a Gashacon Breaker Blade. Even as similar as they are, this release does a fantastic job of setting itself apart. But is it really worth those Tamashii Web Exclusive dollars? Check out our gallery & review to find out!

The entire gallery is attached to this story, but you can also read our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNaiton Forums” at the bottom of this post. Later this week we’re bringing Kuroto back one more time with a gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider GenM God Maximum Gamer Level Billion!

“Crocodile in Rogue!!”

Gentoku Himuro lusted for power and conquest as the monstrous Night Rogue. But undergoing savage trials at the hands of Utsumi Nariaki & Blood Stalk. Gentoku would be reborn. Cured of the Nebula Gas influence, Gentoku remembered what it meant to fight for his country. It was only a matter of time before his heart was free to fight for his people, and his father’s memory. Though he once struck fear into our heroes hearts, Gentoku would now fight for love and peace as the dangerous Kamen Rider Rogue!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Rogue is another really stylish addition to the ever growing family of Build Figuarts. It’s unique color scheme and design really do stand out with the other riders in the line. The first Crocodile rider, (though we have seen an Alligator before!) Rogue does an excellent job subtly showing off it’s theme from the clawed feet, to the “Cracked” helmet. Rogue includes his signature Nebula Steam Gun, Transteam Blade, and even the Hell Bros’ Gears. It’s honestly the full package.

We’ve attached the full gallery to this post, but you can also see our full review after the jump, by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’ll be back with the first of several galleries diving back into the world of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!
