Following up from the reveal of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Joker we have our first look at the next Tamashii Nations 2017 show exclusive, S.I.C. Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms!

Details about the accessories included with this figure aren’t yet known. And we only have one small teaser of the official images. So we’ll definitely have more information soon as we get closer to the show next month. For now we know that Kachidoki Arms will be available for 9500 yen at the show, it will also likely be available as a Lucky Draw item on the Tamashii Web Shop at a later date. We’ll update you when more images & information become available.

In a double whammy surprise reveal @_Erasu on twitter has just dropped a couple bombshells on two sought after figures from two recent rider shows. First up we have the reveal S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Brave Legacy Gamer Level 100! Yet another instance of Bandai skipping past some forms from Ex-Aid in favor of more recent or popular ones, but I doubt we’ll see too many complaining about this one. Second, we have the the long awaited S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Blind Alpha. The primary differences between this release and the original of course include the new blind head, as well as an included Amazon heart for Jin to chow down on!

Order pages with official release info have yet to go up for either of these new releases, but we know both will be Tamashii Web Exclusives. Tonight order pages will officially go live and we’ll be sure to update this article with all the pertinent information you need to make arrangements with your favorite middleman service!

“Watch as I become the Emperor of the Galaxy!”

8 years ago Ultraman Belial made his debut in Mega Monster Battle, and ever since we’ve seen dark ripples related to him throughout the Ultra universe. One of the darkest villains this franchise has ever seen, Belial has persisted to fight heroes at every turn even beyond his own multiple deaths. And even despite his evil, he’s managed to spawn a heroic son in Ultraman Geed. Despite his prominence Belial has only ever received a couple of really nice collector oriented figures. So given Geed’s popularity we wanted to do a throwback gallery to the original Ultra-Act Ultraman Belial!

One of the oldest Ultra-Act releases in the line, in fact the 2nd, Ultraman Belial still holds up pretty well all these years later. While not perfect, Belial has a surprising amount of personality and is an intricately detailed figure. Actually Belial even has a really great set of accessories. His alternate claw hands, the Giga Battle Nizer in 2 configurations, and even specific effect parts for the Belial Shot & Belial Deathscythe attacks! Frankly this is an incredible release for the time.

We’ve attached the full gallery of over 70 images to this post, but you can also check out a full review in the gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with another exciting gallery as well.

“Hyper Cast Off.”

There’s only one man who can walk the path of heaven. And while it’s been a long time coming, Bandai is finally tackling Kamen Rider Kabuto’s most powerful form with a new Shinkocchou Seihou figuart. However, with this premium do over on the way (as always) we like to reflect on the original figure that needed an update in the first place. With that said, let’s take a look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kabuto Hyper Form (original Release.)

The original Kabuto Hyper Form was released nearly 7 years ago. In terms of where figuarts engineering is today, that’s an eternity. Many releases from this era have begun the transition into the Shinkocchou Seihou line but many more still need it as well. Hyper Kabuto though manages to still be a charming figure even after all these years thanks to a fairly involved Clock Up transformation, his Perfect Zecter, & the included wings of light for his Hyper Kick. What we’ve seen of the Shinkocchou Seihou release already puts this one to shame, but for a collector on a budget the original release of Kabuto Hyper Form is still a worthwhile alternative.

We’ve attached the entire 80 image gallery to this post, but you can click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see full gallery thread with review. We’ll be back next time with another throwback gallery, this time focusing on Ultraman Belial!

Kamen Rider Paradox is yet another Tamashii Web Exclusive coming down the pipeline for a January 2018 release. Including his Gashacon Parabragun & 3 sets of hands, Paradox will retail for 6480 yen.

The golden age of poseable Kaiju figures is upon us! Ever since Tamashii Nations made the line transition for Ultraman figures Ultra-Act to S.H. Figuarts the biggest benefactors of that have been Kaiju. Long forgotten in the Ultra-Act line, we now have some really great functional figure alternatives to Bandai’s long line of Ultra Kaiju vinyls. In the spirit of the lines success it’s time to look at an often forgotten Kaiju from Ultra Seven with S.H. Figuarts Alien Metron!

Do you like deadly sci-fi cigarettes? Interested in squid like alien monsters? Well then, Bandai’s got you covered on both counts with Alien Metron. This iconic Kaiju faced off against Ultra Seven in the 8th episode of his own series culminating in the classic table scene with the one and only Dan Moroboshi! This figuart of Metron is probably my favorite of the Kaiju released so far. A figure with tons of personality and display options, Alien Metron will be a great addition to any Ultraman collection.
