Chou Henshin!

My how time flies, it was only yesterday that S.H. Figuarts was starting to make it’s presence known in the era of Kamen Rider the First/Next & Decade. But the line has evolved in incredible ways since then, so it’s not often we take a step back with it. This month sees the release of Bandai’s latest  premium style renewal with  S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. But before we get our hands on it, we wanted to turn back the clock with this figure from 2010, the original release of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form!

A dated figure by today’s standards, the original Kuuga Ultimate Form was actually pretty great. A solid sculpt with intricate paint apps, the then standard diecast feet, Toss in an abnormally decent accessory count, and that made this figuart one of the better releases for it’s day.  But how does it hold up today? We’ve included 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form in the full gallery thread as well as a lengthy reviews detailing the ins & outs of this aging mold.

Consider this gallery prep work for our upcoming look at S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. Just based on official images alone it looks to be one of the most impressive figuarts releases this year. We’ll have the full gallery ready for you in a couple weeks!

While there was plenty of new and exciting things to see at this year’s Power Morphicon, easily the most surprising and most exciting was the reveal of the upcoming Soul of Chogokin DaiZyuJin from Tamashii Nations. Featuring diecast metal and an incredible amount of detail, there was no details given about the new item from the Soul of Chogokin line. Adam from Tamashii Nations was on hand and the only details he would give us, or anyone, was that the best thing to relate this item to was the previously released Soul of Chogokin Voltron figure.

Teased in the text is “Battle mode has been initiated for NYCC 2016” … promising a more in-depth look at this amazing set of figures at this year’s New York Comic Con. And dare we say it … the first look at a combined mode? I mean, it’s not like we can see the Megazord’s head in a couple of the images we took … or can you?

UPDATE

Finally after months of waiting Bandai has at long last confirmed the release of one highly anticipated Rider figuart and two more releases fans have eagerly awaited. Confirmed via an image on the Tamashii Web Shop front page today are releases of the following:

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron
S.H. Figuarts Type Tridoron Tire Mix-Up Set
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Deep Specter
S.I.C. Kamen Rider Ryugen Budou Arms

Type Tridoron’s release follows a lengthy and uncertain wait that made many fans anxious. Additionally it has been confirmed that Type Tridoron Tire Mix-Up Set will be sold temperately. We just saw images of Deep Specter at the Akihabara Bandai display last week. And S.I.C. Ryugen has been seen previously only at Tamashii events so it’s a welcome surprise to see his release as well.

All 4 of these figures are slated to be released as Tamashii Web Exclusives. We’ll update you as soon as pricing, release dates, and official images become available for each of these figures!

Now this is probably the biggest surprise of all from this years’ Power Morphicon.  Earlier today Tamashii Nations teased that they would indeed have something to show off at PMC this weekend. The reveal of that item comes as a total surprise to many, but lo and behold they have just revealed Soul of Chogokin Daizyujin! AKA the original Mighty Morphin Dino Megaord!

The individual mecha/zords are on display currently with no combined mode shown yet, but wow what a reveal this is! A truly surprising and interesting development from this years show. We’ll keep you updated as more and better pictures and information become available for Soul  of Chogokin Daizyujin/Dino Megazord!

Funny how coincidences work out sometimes right? Just yesterday we posted our gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Specter, and less than 24 hours later we have our first look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Deep Specter!

These images come courtesy of a number of twitter users taking photos at the Tamashii Nations Akihabara showroom. Deep Specter looks like a very slick release that includes at least his personal Deep Slasher weapon. It’s very likely this release will include 2 Eyecons for use with it much like S.H. Figuarts Toucon Boost. For now we don’t have confirmation on release details but we can likely expect Deep Specter to be a Tamashii Web Exclusive.

We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

Ready, Go! Kakugo! Doki Doki Ghost!

We’re back with our second entry in our continuing look at Kamen Rider Ghost. This time we examine the recently released S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Specter!

Specter is of course the same mold as S.H. Figuarts Ghost Ore Damashii. As such, if you’ve handled that mold, then by now you know the ins and outs of the positives & negatives of this figure too. Specter doesn’t seek to improve on the flaws of this base design which is a shame, but he does manage to convey a lot of personality and look stylish while doing it. Specter includes his Gan Gun Hand weapon which can convert to both Rod & Gun Modes, several pairs of hands, and alternate hoodie accessory, and a 1st run bonus of 5 Eyecons!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but please enjoy over 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Specter after the jump by clicking “Discuss on The TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post!

Mayday mayday SOS!

And we’re back to kick off a new month of toy galleries with another classic character from 1990’s Tokkei Winspector! Earlier this year we took a look at the team leader of Winspector with S.H. Figuarts Fire. Today we get to examine one of Fires’ two robotic partners, S.H. Figuarts Bikel!

Bikel builds on the already solid design and accessory count of Fire, and gives us just a little bit more. Managing to have a ton of personality, Bikel is one of the more interesting robots you could have in your collection. His wild & rambunctious attitude in the show is conveyed perfectly in this excellent figure. Bikel includes his Daytric M2 Sidearm, his signature Bispears in multiple forms, 4 sets of hands, and even a tiny to scale figure of Demitasse, the Winspector’s tiny robotic ally!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to view the entire 70+ image gallery! We’ll be back next week with another ghostly addition to our galleries as well!
