The Gashacon Breaker Sword, the Bugvisor Zwei, a remaining Life Counter, and even a Shin Dan Kuroto effect sheet! This is a must have for fans of the Gamer Master himself.

“Appear Daizyujin!”

We know this one’s been out for a while, but when you’re dealing with something this incredible, it takes a bit of time to do the job right. So we’ve taken our time and shot an in depth gallery of nearly 200 images, with a full length 7 part review of this fantastic release. It’s well past time we share with you our in depth look at the Soul of Chogokin SOC GX-76 Daizyujin! Of course for the western collectors out there this is none other than the MMPR Megazord!

Daizyujin is that most iconic of Sentai mecha to those of us in the west. It’s gone through various toylines, updates, and revisions over the years, and finally Tamashii Nations has tackled it with an entry in their long line of SOC’s. This figure sat out to recreate the iconic designs of the 5 Guardian Beasts and their two combined forms using modern engineering. The results are near flawless. We have a die-cast laden, poseable, proportionate, and imposing figure to add to our collections. Special note, our review piece today (provided by the infinitely generous TokuChris) features the western Bluefin distribution exclusive packaging. Consisting of new MMPR themed box art.

We’ve attached the MASSIVE 195 image gallery of SOC Daizyujin to this post. But you can also read our lengthy review of this set by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. This gallery & review were a labor of love for me. And if you’re a fan of Zyuranger or MMPR, I hope it does the job of making you want this set.

“Best Match!”

Tamashii Nations has just released the formula for victory with the first entry in the Kamen Rider Build figuarts subline! Our titular hero himself arrives as S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Form!

Build Rabbit Tank is our first experience with this line and as such needs to set the bar for where it goes from here. Many people were disappointed when this figure was announced because of the lack of the Build Crusher weapon in either of it’s forms. Honestly the accessories are very lite, including only 2.5 sets of hands. Luckily Kamen Rider Build makes up for this to me by being a very well designed and proportioned figure. He seems to have jumped right off the screen. Opinions will of course vary, but thus a figure that I think will look great in any collection.

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery to this post, but you can also check out our full review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a trio of galleries from Kamen Riders W & Ex-Aid as well as Zyuranger!

In the last 7 years I’ve had the opportunity to review some seriously unique and interesting pieces for this website. Honestly though I think nothing has ever been quite as unique as what I have to share with you today. I’ve recently come into possession of  a special Pre-Production Factor Sample of the S.H. Figuarts Hakaider Squad! While Kikaider & Hakaider related products may not necessarily be something of personal interest to each of you, this figure offers us a rare look at what goes into the process of creating a repaint and remold of a previous release.

Yes, this figure is indeed a true blue working sample used to model new parts. At it’s base level it’s your standard Hakaider body. But after disassembly and study, you can see several areas where new parts from the final Hakaider Squad figures were integrated for testing purposes. The new biceps and face are dead giveaways. More than that though we also have the anti-theft paint job, as well as the trademark hole drilled through the figures’ chest that numerous Tamashii display samples have had through out the years.

We’ve attached the full 40 image gallery of this unique item to this post, but please read through the in depth breakdown of what makes this factory sample what it is after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full thread.

Next time, “Rabbit! Tank! Best Match!”

Also among the latest batch of Figure Oh magazine scans is the newly revealed S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z Charge!

What do know however is that Ryuga Banjou’s second form will be released in July 2018, for the price of 5940 yen. The scans also confirm that it will include the Twin Breaker weapon.

Check out the full-sized scan after the jump and let us know whether you’re planning to pick this figure up! We’ll bring you more information as it comes.

Joining the soon to be released Shocker Combatman, as well as the upcoming Combatman (Black), is yet a third variety of the popular grunts from the original Kamen Rider TV series. This go around we have official images and info regarding the S.H. Figuarts Gel Shocker Combatman! You may recall this figure was revealed just about a month ago.

Succeeding the original Shocker Gel Shocker was formed by Great Leader, and Geldamn’s General Black. The new Gel Shocker Combatmen this pair created would totally supersede the original type for some time. The Gel Shocker Combatman figuarts utilizes the new body engineered for the Renewal Shocker Combatman and includes both the spiked staff & sword these soldiers were known to use.

The Gel Schocker Combatman will be release in June 2018 as a Tamashii Web Exlcusive for 5400 yen. Be sure to get in touch with your preferred middleman or service in order to secure an order in the near future.

“Eeeeee!”

The soon to be released Shocker Combatman renewal mold is about to get a repaint! Or maybe a de-paint? Oh who knows. In either case you’ll soon be able to troop build your own Shocker army with a little bit more variety thanks to S.H. Figuarts Shocker Combatman (Black)!

If you’re unfamiliar with this variant of Combatman, it’s of a variety that did not feature the traditional “Shocker ribs” on the costume & has not appeared nearly as frequently throughout the franchise as that more iconic design. This less common grunt could add little bit of variety to your collection/display though, especially since this release includes 28 Shocker Kaijin insignia’s with which to identify your Combatmen. This release also includes the Shocker Baton/Staff that the standard Combatman does not.

S.H. Figuarts Shocker Combatman (Black) will be released in July 2018 for 5400 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Be sure to get in touch with your preferred middleman or service in order to secure an order in the near future.
