“Cast Off! Change, Wasp!”

After a pair of Shinkocchou Seihou galleries from Kamen Rider Kabuto we thought we’d roll the clock back a bit for Toku Toy Box. Back to a character that as of yet, hasn’t even been teased to receive the premium renewal treatment that Kabuto, Gattack, & Dark Kabuto have. Join us in a brief look back at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider TheBee!

While TheBee is one of the older releases in the overall S.H. Figuarts line, as far as Kabuto figures go it was the 10th. So it doesn’t suffer from as many of the issues that plagued early releases in the line-up. While Figuarts of this time are undoubtedly outdated and under-accessorized, TheBee is still a truly memorable design with some charm to it. The figure itself goes for rock bottom prices these days and there’s no sign of a Shinkocchou Seihou renewal on the horizon, yet. The Hopper Bros were just teased at Tamashii Nations 2016 though, so anything’s possible. Check out our full gallery & review to see why TheBee may be worth picking up for now.

“Now, count up your sins.”

A hotly anticipated release joins the line up for Toku Toy Box! In 2009 any first time fans made their way into Kamen Rider thorough Kamen Rider W, and as collector’s they’ve had to make due with the flawed offerings Bandai had produced up til now, but no more. S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W is finally here and blowing every previous release away!

Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W is in every conceivable way, the superior to the original line of W figuarts. There is no comparison, aside from the painful side by side I made of the two in the thread below. It’s incredible what an additional 5+ years of engineering has done for this line, and this character in particular. W’s suit is lavishly faithfully recreated here, and the figure has the properly engineered articulation to make full use of the charms and body language this design is capable of. Add a fully functional Double Driver with removable Gaia Memories and the two most perfect scarves ever, and you have the #1 Kamen Rider release of the year. Hands down.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view over 70 images of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W after the jump.

It’s the middle of the month which means it’s time for a fresh batch of official images from Tamashii Nations! Tonight kicks off with official images & release info for the upcoming S.I.C. Mashin Chaser!

S.I.C. Mashin Chaser was first revealed at Tamashii Nations 2016 in October. Since then we’ve wondered when this beauty would be released, thankfully we can look forward to it now in May 2017. This gorgeous figure is loaded down with accessories as well, including 2 sets of hands, all 3 Viral Cores, the Break Gunner, & the Busou Chaser parts!

S.I.C. Mashin Chaser will be released as Tamashii Web Exclusive for 9180 yen.

“Nice Drive!”

The prototype of Proto-Drive arrives in our latest gallery from Kamen Rider Drive! Hailing from Ghost X Drive Movie Wars Genesis, this form has actually been placed outside Drive continuity by a rare announcement from Toei. But that hasn’t stopped us from reviewing S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero Drive for Toku Toy Box!

In the context of the film, Shinnosuke & Takeru are trapped 10 years in the past. So this form is a pre-cursor even to Kamen Rider Proto-Drive, totally experimental, much more dangerous than Type Speed, and actually less powerful. Only Shinnosuke’s experience as the completed Drive in the present allowed him to master the Zero Drive form.

With all that in mind please look below to see our full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero Drive! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to see to complete 50+ image gallery! We’ll be back in 2 more days with yet another Toku Toy Box gallery!

Official images and release info have just dropped courtesy of Tamashii Nations for S.H. Figuarts Super Evolved Heart Roidmude!

Super Evolved Heart was confirmed for release late last month but these official images finally give us a really great look at it. But don’t expect this release to outdo the originals’ accessories. As with the first S.H. Figuarts Heart, Super Evolved Heart only includes 3 sets of additional hands.

S.H. Figuarts Super Evolved Heart Roidmude will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in May 2017 for 5940 yen.

“Cast Off: Change Beetle!”

Toku Toy Box is taking a look at another new premium style release from Tamashii Nations! Recently released as a Tamashii Nations 2016 event exclusive S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto follows up S.S. Gattack and S.S. Kabuto as the third release in the Kabuto line. You may recall that last month , we also did a gallery of the Original Release Dark Kabuto, well let’s just say that the Shinkocchou Seihou is a massive improvement.

Just as with S.S. Kabuto & Gattack, Dark Kabuto features the brilliant body type that began the entire Seihou line. Once again this figure proves just how incredible the engineering for premium releases like this is. We recently glimpsed prototypes of the infamous Hopper Bros from Kabuto at Tamashii Nations 2016 as well, so the Kabuto lineup of S.S. releases  is really starting to shape up nicely. For now though Dark Kabuto is another fantastic addition that includes the perfect accessories to compliment his gorgeous design and paint scheme.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view over 50 images of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto in the full gallery thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in two more days with another Toku Toy Box gallery!

“Let our Janklers roar, we are Akumaizer 3!”

The classic 1975 Shotaro Ishinomori series Akumaizer 3 may not be something you’re familiar with, but today that changes with our special Toku Toy Box gallery of the S.I.C. Akumaizer 3!

The series stars Zabitan, a rogue member of the Demon Clan who has come to the human world in order to become a hero, as well as his initial pursuers but eventual allies Ibiru & Gabura. This MASSIVE S.I.C. three pack contains all 3 members of the team as well as multiple heads & hands for Ibiru & Zabitan. But that’s not all! The trio’s signature Sabres, Zarad Irad & Garad are all included, and Ibiru’s Jo Gun and Gabura’s Mace & Axe are all included as well! This truly comprehensive release is the perfect fit for any fan of this series, or in fact obscure Tokusatsu in general. We have a brief overview of this show in the gallery thread.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can check out over 90 images of the incredible S.I.C. Akumaizer 3 set after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation” Forums at the bottom of this post.

One of Ultraman’s oldest & most persistent foes arrives for today’s Toku Toy Box Gallery with S.H. Figuarts Alien Baltan!

The 2nd release commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Ultra franchise, Alien Baltan is a companion piece to the recently released S.H. Figuarts Ultraman. However, unlike Ultraman, Baltan is a very straightforward and pretty bare bones release. With no accessories at all, the merits of this figure are based solely on it’s exquisite sculpt, paint apps, and personality. Does it effectively recreate the classic space ninja we all know and love? Read on to find out!
