“Cast Off: Change, Stag Beetle!”

Toku Toy Box continues with another gallery of a recent release. Today’s subject was long overdue, and thankfully the wait has been worth it. S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Gattack is yet another incredible entry into Bandai’s high end line of renewals.

Kamen Rider Gattack is of course the secondary rider of Kabuto & the case can definitely be made that he’s the real star of the show. And thanks to the fantastic engineering of the S.S. Kabuto body, this star really gets the chance to shine. Gattack includes the full range of articulation previously seen with Kabuto and brings his own gorgeous color scheme and accessories to the party. Both of Gattack’s Double Caliburs are included & they can combine for his Rider Cutting finish. Also, unlike Kabuto, Gattack even includes an alternate version of his Zecter! To see how vastly improved this figure is you can also check out our S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gattack (Original Release) gallery.

“Riderrrrrrrrrrrrr, Henshin!”

Toku Toy Box continues! Debuting in the special Superhero Year tie-in film, Kamen Rider 1, the original Rider himself received his first new upgrade in over 40 years. Well Takeshi Hongo’s latest form is on full display in our special gallery of S.H. Figuarts Movie Kamen Rider 1 !

You’d be forgiven for expecting Movie Rider 1 to be a limited figure. While undoubtedly movie magic gave the physical suit a special flare & abilities all it’s own, this figuart packs a real punch. A big beefy and well articulated figure, Movie Rider 1 truly comes across as the embodiment of actor Hiroshi Fujioka. While the accessories may limited, this figures’ potential is not. If you were a fan of the Rider 1 film, or of Hongo in general, this figure deserves a place in your collection.

“Mayday mayday SOS!”

Toku Toy Box has officially begun! And the first gallery that can qualify you for entry in this years’ contest is none other than S.H. Figuarts Walter from Tokkei Winspector!

Walter rounds out the Winspector trio in spectacular fashion following up from comrades Fire & Bikel. An accessory pack for the team was just released as well, we’ll be taking a look at it next month. But for now Walter is a magnificent follow up to two excellent releases. Featuring all the hallmarks of this subline, Walter has excellent articulation and a plethora of accessories for display options. His signature Dislider jetpack/shield, a pair of oil cans for having a drink, numerous extra hands, and the ever present Daytric M2 sidearm. Walter is the perfection finish to an excellent lineup of characters.

“Cast Off: Change Beetle!”

 A dark reflection arrives in our latest retro Kamen Rider Kabuto gallery, it’s S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto (Original Release)! This classic release predates the recent Tamashii Nations exclusive Shinkocchou Seihou Dark Kabuto by a number of years. And while it’s clearly been outclasses by the S.S. release now, we thought it was the opportune time to take a look at it.

Dark Kabuto is a decently extensive repaint of the original Kamen Rider Kabuto figuart. Though the detailing on his chest and back isn’t quite as sharp as the new Seihou release. As with many other figuarts from this period he tends to be a bit off model, a little too lanky, and lacks a number of accessories. But on a budget, the original Dark Kabuto may fill the gap in your Kabuto collection.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but feel free to peruse the complete 40 images gallery after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Be sure to tune in next month during our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway to see our new S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto gallery as well!

The latest batch of toy magazine scans have just hit the web and from them we can get a good look at what collectors can look forward to as mass release figures in April 2017. Fans who were put off by the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Mighty Action X Beginning Set due for release in March can rest easy knowing that Kamen Riders Ex-Aid, Brave and Snipe will all receive individual releases that month! It seems each will include the same unique accessories as they do in the 3-pack, with Ex-Aid and Brave both retailing for 4860 yen and Snipe for a slightly higher 5400 yen.

On the Ultra Series side of things the S.H. Figuarts line continues its dive into the world of Ultraseven with the release of Alien Metron! Fresh from his recent appearance in Ultraman Orb, Metron will be priced 5940 yen and his accessories are currently unknown!

Check out the full range of scans and comment after the jump!

Seen most recently at the Tamashii Nations 2016 event, S.H. Figuarts Super Evolved Heart Roidmude has been teased out for release for some time. Thankfully now it’s been confirmed for it!

Super Evolved Heart is of course a straight gold repaint of the original Heart Roidmude release. For those unfamiliar, this gold super-evolved form debuts near the end of the Kamen Rider Drive TV series as well as gold forms for Brain & Medic. Gold Heart isn’t likely to include any new accessories, but if the original is any indication this release will likely include 3 sets of hands.

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

under Ultraman

Yet another classic Ultraman Kaiju makes their debut in the S.H. Figuarts line! Following up from Baltan & Zetton we have S.H. Figuarts Alien Mefilas!

Alien Mefilas first appeared in episode 33 of the original Ultraman TV series. This same species of Kaiju has plagued Ultra heroes off & on throughout the 50 year history of the franchise as well. The new S.H. Figuart release will join the ranks of his Kaiju brothers with some surprisingly great articulation and more than enough effect parts to make any Ultra collector snatch him up.

S.H. Figuarts Alien Mefilas will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in May 2017 for 6480 yen.

For the first time ever the original giant hero makes his appearance in the S.H. Figuarts line! After years of steady Ultra-Act releases that line has now been retired with it’s characters having been folded into S.H. Figuarts beginning with this release, S.H. Figuarts Ultraman 50th Anniversary Edition!

Celebrating 50 years of the Ultraman franchise, which began in earnest in 1966, this new release seeks to improve upon past flaws and open a new chapter for Ultraman figures. And does it live up to it’s expectations? Well that depends on your point of view. This figure seeks to replicate almost perfectly the design of the Ultraman suit. It’s nature as a poseable toy sort of comes second. But it’s undeniably a well made figure that should include more than enough accessories to make up for any issues you might take with it’s design. Such as the famous Baltan Ship, or the Tamashii Action Option Building sets.

We’ve attached a small selection of images to this post, but you can see over 50 images in the full thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see our full S.H. Figuarts Ultraman 50th Anniversary Edition gallery! We’ll be back

I am Boost! The Rumbling Ghost! Go Fight, Go Fight, Go, GO!

We’re a little late to the party with this one, but we’re happy to finally take a look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ghost Toucon Boost Damashii! The 3rd release in the Kamen Rider Ghost line, Toucon Boost is also Ghosts’ first real upgraded form. So what’s the verdict?

If you’ve been a fan so far of the Ghost & Specter releases then we can happily report that you’ll be looking forward to much of the same with Toucon Boost. While this figure doesn’t necessarily mix things up much, it does manage to take a basic body we’ve seen twice over, and things interesting. And we finally have a weapon that can really interact with the included Eyecons in the form of the Sunglasseslasher!
