SO-DO is bringing the Climax with the next set of SO-DO Chronicle: following the recent Kamen Rider W set, the next Rider series to join the list will, of course, be SO-DO Chronicle Kamen Rider Den-O

In addition to that, the trio of future Riders from Kamen Rider Zi-O will be joining the line as well. Kamen Rider Shinobi, Kikai, and Quiz will all be released together in their own set in June with a sample of Shinobi himself having been shown.

We don’t know when SO-DO Chronicle Den-O will be released but be sure to check back with us and we’ll be sure to let you know the next time Bandai’s candy toy blog gets updated with this info.

AM-A-ZOOON!

When we last looked at Figureoh magazine, the scans revealed an S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazons: The Last Judgement two-pack featuring Kamen Rider Amazon Omega and Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha in bloody decos.

Since the last time we looked at these bloody boys, the pre-order page has now gone live at the time of this writing and with that, we have some new images that were released via the P-Bandai pre-order page.

Pre-Orders for this set will open February 8th 2019 and will ship out sometime July 2019 with a suggested retail price tag of 11,880 yen before shipping and middleman fees apply.


Perfect opportunity for those that may have missed out on these two figures the first go around. In the meantime, our very own Den-O took photos of the original non-blood-soaked versions of these figures so if your on the fence about these Figures be sure to check out the galleries below.

The next of Bandai Spirit’s Figure-Rise Standard Ultraman model kits was just recently revealed via an update from their official Twitter Account. Following The Ver.75 suit, we have our first look at the Figure-Rise Standard Ultraman Ver.A!

There’s currently no word on pricing, though we do know that the kit will come out sometime in April. Other accessories are also not known at the time of this recording, although it does seem to include an LED-Light Unit that you’ll likely need to install yourself.

Stay tuned, and we’ll provide more updates on this kit as it’s made available.

Yesterday, Bandai managed to acquire the license to release products from the successful  SSSS.Gridman anime with a prototype of  Minipla SSSS Gridman himself is the first of those products revealed.

In an unusual and bizarre turn of events, two of the shows most popular female characters: Akane Shinjo and Takarada Rikka will be getting Minipla model kits of their own. This will be a first for the Minipla line as it’s mostly done mecha or support vehicles until now.

For now, no other information exists on these two kits aside from the fact that they’ll be released in two sets and they’ll stand at 120mm tall, more information regarding the two will be revealed at the end of January 2019.

Bandai’s Zi-O Watcher candy toy blog was recently updated with an in-depth look at the upcoming SODO Zi-O RIDE5 set. Specifically, the Gaim and Decade armors were both featured heavily and in great detail. At the end of the post, an image was posted teasing what appears to be the big bad himself: Oma Zi-O.

It doesn’t seem likely that Oma-Zi-O will be included with SODO Ride 5 as we already know the set will contain the Gaim, Decade and Wizard Armor Times in addition to blank Zi-O and Geiz bodies to use with them.

Oma Zi-O is likely going to be included in whatever next set comes out. Either way, we’ll know more about this figure at the next update at the end of the month.

RIDER TIME!

Another figure was recently added to the Kamen Rider Zi-O line up of S.H.Figuarts figures. That figure is, of course, the trusty motorcycle for our time traveling duos: The S.H.Figuarts Ride Striker!

S.H.Figuarts Ride Striker will be released in June as 6480 yen as a P-Bandai online item. The bike does include the Zikan Zax and Zikan Grade weapons for Figuarts Geiz and Zi-O respectively, so now buying the Ride Striker seems to be the only way to acquire weapons for them.

The S.H.Figuarts line’s been something of a fan favorite amongst collectors ever since the series first started. Many of us have been hoping that these figures will be easier to obtain domestically, and now it seems like collectors will finally have their chance. In a rather surprising turn of events, it seems that more S.H.Figuarts will be made available domestically for North American consumers at Gamestop of all places thanks to no part to our friends at BluFin. Among those are numerous Kamen Rider and Ultraman figures. Various listings appeared on Gamestop’s website the other night, as reported by various fans in the Toku community. The 20 Rider Kicks versions of the following Figuarts are up for pre-order as of this writing:

S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Tank Rabbit

  • S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed
  • S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Blade
  • S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Orange Arms
  • S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryuki
  • S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Den-O Sword Form
  • In addition to three Ultraman figures:
    S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Blu Aqua
  • S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Rosso Flame
  • S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Zero

A screen grab from Gamestop’s own computers via Twitter user @ShadowThePika can confirm that these figures exist within the system and each one of these Figuarts will retail for reasonable 49.99 each and expected to ship out in February. Of course, we have no way of telling if Gamestop plans on carrying more of these in the future and it seems unlikely that they’ll carry anything P-Bandai exclusive. Still, this opens the floodgates for Kamen Rider collectibles to potentially come stateside!

Gamestop exists outside of North America as EB Games, and while the two companies operate under the same umbrella it’s currently not known they’ll follow suit. Stay tuned, and we at Tokunation will provide you an update to this exciting development as it’s made available.

In case you missed it, Bandai announced the second set of Another Ride Watches was coming on the horizon, and since we initially posted that article, the pre-order link for Another Watch Vol 2 is now live. With that, we now have pricing, release info, along with the two previously unknown mystery Ride Watches revealed.

As many have speculated, the then-unknown Watches will belong to Another Ghost and Another Kuuga, in addition to Gaim, W, Den-O, and OOO. Another Watch Vol.2 will retail on P-Bandai’s website for 3,564 yen and will ship sometime in May 2019.

In case you were among those that missed out on the S.H.Figuarts version of these characters, we may have an alternative for you with FigureRise Standard Kamen Rider Zi-O And Kamen Rider Geiz having just been revealed. Rejoice! For the heir of all Riders is here in model kit form.

Both Riders will include alternate hand assortments along with their personal sidearms: Geiz with his Zikan Zax and Zi-O Zikan Grade, with the gun and bow modes being included for both weapons though it is unknown if the weapons themselves will be able to transform or not.

FigureRise Standard Kamen Rider Zi-O and Kamen Rider Geiz are expected to come out March 2019. No pricing was announced at the time of this writing, though if last year’s Kamen Rider Build kit was anything to by, we can expect a price point in the 3,240 yen range.

Hot off the heels of the first Another Watch set, P-Bandai was quick to announce the follow up: Another Watch Vol.2 was just recently revealed.

No release info was given at the time of this writing, though pre-orders are expected to go live December 3rd 2018. If the first set is anything to go by, we could expect a similar price point of 3,240 yen. Stay tuned, and we’ll provide you with more info as it becomes available.
