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!

In lieu of all the Figureoh scans, an unexpected announcement from Premium Bandai narrowly fell off the radar, with a special diorama set dipicing an early film set straight out of Tsuburaya studios!

The diorama will include a sun set backdrop along with a day time backdrop in addition to city scape, working lights, and to scale props. While this set  is meant to go with Sofubi figures it should be scaled well enough to work with Tamashi branded products such as Ultra Act and Monster Arts.

The pre order will run from July 22nd till October 31st and will be released May 2nd 2015 for 25,920 yen.

If you’ve been following our Tokyo Toy Show coverage a few weeks ago, Bandai  announced a Chogokin ToQoh with new elbows that allow for better articulation, the good news is that Premium Bandai  will be releasing these new elbows on their own in a new Super Sentai Artisan set which will be compatible with the DX toy. 

Also included is a rail themed display stand with light up LEDS, designed to link up either in a straight line or side by side to mimic the transformation scene in the show.

The exclusive set retails for 5,184 yen and will be shipping out in October.

Word comes from the Tokyo Toy Show that the Apple themed Riders of Gaim’s Summer Movie will be getting Arms Change figures!

 

For now, the photo from TagHobby remains too small to make out any of the details but they seem to have  been confirmed as a Premium Bandai exclusive and sold as a two pack.

In addition, we have another photo showing the dummy Kachidoki cast off armor that will be included with the upcoming Kiwami Arms

The Premium Bandai website has finally been updated with new pictures of the Ticket puppet that was revealed just last week.

The actual puppet itself unfortunately isn’t quite the high end replica that people were speculating. None the less, Ticket is still coming out in limited quantities for the relatively low price 2,970 yen.

The Ticket Puppet will be shipping out in August 2014.

Special thanks to board member Goblez for giving us the heads up!

Once again thanks to DrillBit, another piece of interesting news was found in magazine scans.

According to the blurb in the image attached to the article: The Premium Bandai online store will be releasing Super Sentai related items including original product and re-releases of older toys with new packaging. The Kamen Rider equivalent to this would be the Super Best line.

There isn’t a whole lot of information to go on as for now, the image doesn’t mention anything like  how much these original items will cost or even what they’ll be reissuing first.
