That’s a mouthful. At the Akihabara showroom today Tamashii Nations revealed the SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Paradox Perfect Knockout Gamer figure. Release details are not yet known but this figure is gorgeous. These photos come from a variety of visitors to the showroom, and we will list them under a “Read More” tag.
“Now, let’s shake it off!”
Ryu Terui was an ordinary police office like anyone else, until the day that Isaka the Weather Dopant savagely murdered his entire family. With the help of Shroud though, Ryu began a quest for his revenge as Kamen Rider Accel! Now after 7 long years we get our own revenge on the original Accel figuart with this brand new premium style renewal! We finally have, S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Accel!
Seihou Accel is easily one of the best releases in this line so far. Where the original release skimped on details and skewed way off from proper proportions, this release nails every aspect of the design. It’s more vibrantly colored, capable of achieving poses the original simply couldn’t, and conveys Ryu Terui’s personality very well. Fantastically functional, Accel is also equipped with an extra head, two Gaia Memories, 5 sets of hands, and the Engine Blade! As far as premium style releases go, Accel is the full package.

Polygon Pictures upcoming feature length epic, Godzilla Monster Planet has been coming into focus recently thanks to some new trailers. And ahead of the films’ release Tamashii Nations is ramping up interest with a brand new look at S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla 2017!
S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla 2017 will be released in December this year and retails for 9936 yen. Currently a breakdown of possible accessories that come with this figure are not known at this time, but we’ll be sure to update you as soon as we know.
The Tamashii Webshop has just updated us with the latest premium release from their Shinkocchou Seihou line. Following up on the hugely successful releases of Kamen Rider’s W & Accel, it’s time for their movie nemesis to make his debut, S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Eternal!
Eternal looks to possibly be one of the most stunning releases in this line yet. Using the excellent W body mold, Eternal also features the very first poseable cloth cape on a Kamen Rider figuart ever! We’ve seen it on other recent figures like the Dark Knight Trilogy Batman, but this is the first Kamen Rider figure to feature such a cape. Eternal also includes numerous extra hands, Gaia Memory holsters, and his iconic Eternal Edge. This release looks to be the all in one package for W collectors.
Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Eternal is set for release in January 2018 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 7884 yen. Get with your preferred web exclusive service or middleman in the near future to secure your order.
“Electroplate!”
It’s that time again friends! A few weeks back we took at the fantastic new Space Squad release of Gavan Type G. This figure was a long overdue renewal that helped set the stage for the original Metal Hero himself to also receive this treatment. In this case though S.H. Figuarts Space Sheriff Gavan came packaged in a massive set with his unique ride the Saibarian!
Gavan like Type G really needed this renewal treatment. The old Gavan body was a pretty poorly made figure with numerous documented QC issues. While these new releases haven’t been perfect on that front, I’m looking at you chrome finish, they are above and beyond functionally better figures than the old releases. Gavan comes armed with 3 versions of his iconic Laser Blade as well as 4 sets of hands and a Laser Scope head. But the biggest and best accessory is of course the Saibarian! This long overdue bike is a top notch figuarts vehicle. Functionality it can fully transform, it’s got several tamashii stage ports built in for action shots, and despite being plastic, it has some decent heft to it. It’s a shelf presence.
The entire gallery of 150 images is attached to this post but feel free to “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to read the full review and accessory breakdown as well! Next up on our gallery schedule is S.H. Figuarts Alien Metron from Ultraseven!
“Fire All Core. Drive, Type Miracle!”
In an attempt to revive his fallen friend, Gou Shijima managed to do the impossible& revive one of the most powerful Roidmudes ever, Heart! Simultaneously Gou managed to merge the Cores of Medic & Brain into Heart’s new body. Uniting their hearts and Cores together these 3 Roidmudes became the Kamen Rider to surpass even Drive. Debuting in the Heart/Mach v-Cinema, and finally available in figure form, it’s S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Heart Type Miracle!
Kamen Rider Heart as you’ll undoubtedly notice, is heavily based on Drive’s own Type Tridoron form. Much like the suit in the movie, this figure reuses a majority of Tridoron’s parts. But the new components incorporated into the body are derived from Heart’s original Roidmude form. It’s an odd fusion, but one that somehow works very well. While this is a pretty sparse release, Heart Type Miracle still has plenty of charm to it. Now if we could just get the mismatched Type Speed/Wild/Technic from Bandai, then all of Hearts’ forms would be represented in this line.

While the S.H. MonsterArts line seems to have slowed down considerably over the past few years, one thing they’ve remained pretty consistent on is keeping up with variants of Godzilla himself. This trend continues in December with the release of S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 2017, based on the King of Monsters’ appearance in the forthcoming Godzilla: Monster Planet anime from Toho Animation and Polygon Pictures. This version is listed as an “Initial production limited edition”.
Despite preorders set to go up on August 1st Bandai have not yet done a full reveal of the figure, suggesting that a full look at this Godzilla design may still be being kept under wraps for the time being. Nevertheless, the figure will be released in December and retail for 9936 yen. No accessories are listed, but the figure will come with some sort of special card.

“Let’s leave light in the dust!”
2017 is shaping up to be the year of the Metal Heroes! The momentum for this new golden age of Toei’s 3rd big franchise started in 2012, with Gavan Vs Gokaiger which set the precedent for future Metal Hero/Sentai crossovers. Flash forward to 2017 with the release of Space Squad: Gavan Vs Dekaranger and we get a brand new figuart as well, S.H. Figuarts Space Sheriff Gavan Type G Space Squad Version!
The Space Squad version of Gavan Type G is meant to be a renewal of sorts for the old original mold. One that was riddled with quality issues. I’m happy to report though that this time around, Gavan Type G is much improved physically! One big thing that really sets this release apart from the first though is the new Laser Blade Origin. A powerful new weapon that forged on Juspions’ home world. And luckily we get 3 variations of this new weapon.
We’ve attached a mere selection of the full gallery to this post. If you click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post then you can view over 100 images of Gavan Type G and the various heroes of Space Squad!
The butterfly effect of Bandai’s premium & popular Shinkocchou Seihou sub-line of Figuarts has finally reached Rider Machines! While not officially labeled as an S.S. release, the brand new S.H. Figuarts Hardboilder is undoubtedly a renewal meant to replace the original release of this bike.
Hardboilder is of course the faithful ride of Kamen Rider W, and a perfect companion piece to the Shinkocchou Seihou W Figuart released last year. While this renewal definitely won’t be as significantly different from the original as many others have been in recent years, it is on the whole a more accurate and well proportioned update.
