“In that case, I need to put an end to that destiny right now!”

Born in a future without hope, Geiz Myokoin fought as a resistance fighter against the overlord, Oma Zi-O. But with everything in his life decimated by the overlord, Geiz resolved to travel to the past and eliminate him before he could ever rise power. Using a Time Mazine & Ziku Driver, Geiz comes to the present day as Kamen Rider Geiz! But faced with a Zi-O who’s anything but the evil overlord he knows, can Geiz bring himself to change the future? Or will a begrudging friendship with present day Sougo Tokiwa send history down another path?

The final secondary rider of the Heisei Era arrives! Following up from our review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O, Kamen Rider Geiz brings basically all the same qualities to the line. A minor retool and extensive repaint of the Zi-O mold, Geiz is a well rounded, well articulated figure that fits in fantastically with mainline figuarts as well Shinkocchou Seihou releases. While it lacks weapons like Zi-O, Geiz does include two 20 Rider Kicks Ridewatch Tamashii Stages!

TAKA, TORA, BATA!

After the announcement of the long-awaited S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva, fans and collectors alike wondered where the line would go from here and the next release was recently revealed by our friends at Bandai to be none other than Kamen Rider OOO himself!

S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider OOO TaToBa Combo was recently revealed in the latest round of Figureoh magazine. No option parts were shown, but we do have a price and release date: 6480 yen in August. In addition to TaToBa combo, we’ll also be getting our first Combo change form in the form of TakaKiriBa, though no release info was revealed for him at the time of this writing.

The Tamashii Shanghai event just wrapped this weekend, but not without first giving us a couple of more brand new reveals for Ultraman collectors!

When Ultraman Zero was at the first height of his popularity several years ago, he seemed to receive new forms left and right. During the run of the Ultra Zero Fight TV series, Zero would go on to receive two new forms based on combinations of previous Ultras. Strong Corona, a fusion of Dyna’s Strong form & Cosmos’ Corona form, and Luna Miracle, a union of Cosmos Luna & Dyna Miracle. At the time Ultra-Act figure of these forms were made, and now, we finally have the official reveal of S.H. Figuarts for both Strong Coron & Luna Miracle!

Though Tamashii Nations has not yet announced release information for either of these figure’s, we can assume with Zero’s enduring popularity and the speed with which the Ultra S.H. Figuarts line is growing, that we could receive this information fairly soon. We’ll update you when that information becomes available.

“I feel power, overflowing.”

To stop Blood Stalk, to save Sento, to reclaim Pandora’s box, Banjou will bathe in the fires of his own rage! Born from the burnt Dragon Magma Full Bottle, Cross-Z undergoes his ultimate transformation. Let’s see just how bright this fire burns in our latest gallery, with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z Magma!!

Cross-Z Magma is a lavish repaint and retool of the fantastic Cross-Z version of the Build body type, that we’ve seen numerous times in this line. Decked out in alternating hues of metallic orange and gold paint, adorned with a number of ornate dragon faces, and equipped with the massive pair of Pyro Wings on his back, Cross-Z Magma is a fierce and striking figuart. The included Magma Knuckle which is removable from the Build Driver, and can transform, adds an extra layer of playability to this figure or any other rider you wish as well.

Following up from two other reveals at the week long Tamashii Shanghai event, Ultraman Ginga & Ultraman Geed Magnificent, we now have a third! S.H. Figuarts Ultraman X Bemstar Armor!

The Bemstar Armor was officially revealed via the Tamashii Figuarts blog, giving us a selection of official photos to drool over. However shortly after, it was physically put on display at the Shanghai event giving us a fantastic look at this possibly (?) upcoming figure. As of now there are no release details for the Bemstar Armor, and in fact we aren’t sure if it’s going to be released as just a set of armor or if we’re looking at a re-release of Ultraman X with this armor included.

As more details emerge we’ll continue our reporting on this figure.

Teased for release as recently as January, S.H. Figuarts Oma Zi-O seems to finally be headed for release!

As a part of Tamashii Nations new Gold Crush sales and promotions, it seems an official announcement of Oma Zi-O is also planned. While the full set of images isn’t circulating yet, @Tokullector has shared a selection official images for Oma Zi-O. An impressive figure for sure, we know thanks to handling SHF Zi-O himself earlier last month, that this should be a solid release.

This means in the next 24 hours we should have confirmation of the release date and price as well. Check back here for that update!

“Heat! Metal”!

The two-tone detectives of Fuuto, Shotaro & Phillip, are best known for their traditional Cyclone/Joker combo as Kamen Rider W! But when the situation changes, W adapt’s. A ferocious fight? Fang/Joker rampages! Need a special trick shot? Luna/Trigger has you in the cross-hairs! And on their very first case, against the T-Rex Dopant, another mix did the trick. Kamen Rider W Heat/Metal brings the heat and the force to wield it!

Shinkocchou Seihou Heat/Metal really does bring the heat. As the now 7th outing of the Seihou W mold, it’s still keeping things interesting. Exquisite paint apps and finely sculpted features can go a long way to keeping something from feeling stale. The inclusion of a wide variety of hands and a few versions of W’s Metal Shaft really go a long way to making this figure impressively expressive too. A few choice flame effect parts would have made this release perfect, thankfully I had quite a few spares to use for my review!

“I think I was destined to choose this path.”

Little did Sougo Tokiwa know, his childhood dreams of being a great king were prophetic in a way. Should they ever come to pass, they could create the desolate future ruled by Sougo’s own evil self, the overlord Oma Zi-O! In the present, Sougo journey’s down the path of the overlord, defeating Another Riders as Kamen Rider Zi-O! But with the Day of Oma approaching, will Zi-O become the evil overlord? Or will Kamen Rider Geiz, the Time Jackers, Kamen Rider Woz, or even Kamen Rider Decade, manage to contain his power? Time, will tell…

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O kicks off this year’s new Figuarts sub-line as a pretty solid release. While assuredly many will take issue with this figure’s lack of accessories (which are included with the Ride Striker) this figure has a lot to offer and lots of personality. Zi-O is a well rounded, well articulated figure that fits in fantastically with mainline figuarts as well Shinkocchou Seihou releases. Though Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva still hasn’t been released, seeing Zi-O with his fellow lead riders is still quite the sight. And if you happen to have a DX Time Mazine as I do, you’ll find that Figuarts Zi-O works quite well with him. Zi-O also compliments Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade marvelously.

“Woz! WOZ!”

It’s that time of the month and Figure Oh scans are making their way out into the wild. This month, thanks to twitter user @Tesuka_ we have our very first look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Woz!

In a rather surprising turn of events it would appear that Kamen Rider Woz is a retail release. This means that all 3 main riders from Zi-O will be non-exclusive releases. This stands in contrast to last season, as Kamen Rider Build himself was a retail release while Cross-Z, Grease, and Rogue all wound up as exclusives. So Zi-O is taking a play out of Ex-Aids book by making the primary 3 retail releases at least.

Woz is headed to collectors in July 2019 for 5940 yen. Keep an eye out for a full set of official images as well as pre-orders in the near future.

“Hell Bros. At your service.”

The orphans Fu & Rai Washio were indoctrinated by Juzoburo Nanba, and raised to be weapons for the 3-sided war for the nation. Making use of the Nebula Steam Gun, the Washio brothers became Engine Bros & Remocon Bros! However, faced with the continued evolution of the Kamen Riders that threaten their master’s will, Fu Washio plays his trump card. Uniting the power of the Engine & Remocon Gears, Fu becomes Hell Bros!

S.H. Figuarts Hell Bros is another very familiar release for Build collectors. Using the iconic Night Rogue/Blood Stalk body for a base, Hell Bros builds on this with the gear theme inherited from the Bi-Kaisers. A gorgeous two-tone villain Hell Bros is armed with the versatile transforming Nebula Steam Gun system. If you have any experience with Rogue & Stalk, then you know this will be another great addition to your collection.

We’ve attached the full 55 image gallery to this post, but you also read our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. In a few days we’ll be back with the overlord of time & space himself, Kamen Rider Zi-O!
