This past month we took some time getting back into the swing of things and after a lengthy hiatus and some technical difficulties we’re slowly but surely getting back to bringing you great content! Including your favorite toy galleries of recent releases and vintage favorites. For July 2016 we took a look at 4 very unique releases:

S.H. Figuarts Kabuto Extender
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ghost Ore Damashii
S.H. Figuarts Body-Kun DX
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser Mach

From Kamen Riders Kabuto, Ghost, & Drive, with a little hint of something off-beat, we wanted to bring you a warm up round of galleries to prep things for the coming months. We’ve attached one image from each of these galleries to this post, but follow all of the links above to be taken to each of these extensive photo shoots in their entirety. Beginning in July TokuNation.com’s Photo & Content staff will be working harder than ever to bring you what you want. Be sure to stay tuned!

“You used me, you brought shame on my sister, you used Krim’s inventions for Evil! But, worse than any of that, you…..
you killed my friend!!“

The rage and conviction of Machs’ loss is embodied in this final last ditch form used to defeat his father, Gold Drive. Though a last minute addition to the series, Kamen Rider Chaser Mach manages to debut in one of the most heartbreaking and powerful scenes in Kamen Rider Drive.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser Mach is pretty much like it’s show counterpart. A combination of various parts from the two figures that preceded it, Chaser & Mach. But surprisingly it doesn’t feel tired or boring even if I’ve technicality handled this figure several times before. Chaser Mach seamlessly integrates the components of these two riders into one fantastic form that feels just right. Throw in a cople signature weapons like the Zenrin Shooter & Signal Ax and you’ve one pretty darn solid release. Now if only S.H. Figuarts Gold Drive were out already, this gallery needs a deadbeat dad….

under Conventions, Ultraman

Now that the Ultraman manga is in full swing on both sides of the pond it’s no surprise that the series is proving popular with figure manufacturers.

Among the figures seen at the event were:

  • A ThreeZero Ultraman prototype, with masked and unmasked head options

under Godzilla

The S.H. MonsterArts continues its current trek through the various iterations of the King of Monsters with Godzilla Ultimate Burning Ver.!

Recently revealed via the Godzilla Spirits book and on-show at Tamashii Nations events, Ultimate Burning Ver. is a repaint of the 2012 Burning Godzilla figure from the film Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, featuring new orange sections and steam effect parts that can be attached to the figure to simulate the blistering heat the monster’s body is giving off.

Godzilla Ultimate Burning Ver. is a Tamashii web exclusive figure due for release in December 2016, priced 9504 yen. If you missed out on the original figure, be sure to grab this one now!

under Kamen Rider, Other Conventions

Long hoped for by collectors it seems we may be one step closer to finally having S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider J! J, is currently on display at Chara Expo 2016 in Singapore. An unexpected reveal for sure, we currently don’t have estimates on release date or pricing for J. For all we know he could disappear in to the vault of unreleased prototypes, but let’s hope not.

You may recall Kamen Rider J as the last of the trilogy of 90’s rider movies including Shin & ZO. Created after the official Showa period ended these three riders are still classified with their earlier predecessors rather than the Heisei segment of the franchise. If J is indeed released then that means the Showa era of Kamen Rider will officially be complete in figure form. All 15 main Showa riders will at least adorn your shelves together.

So what do you think about this reveal? Will it finally fill that longstanding hole in your collection? And as is often the question, where is Kiva, the long missing Heisei Rider? Sound off in the comments!

You’ve seen them throughout the years at various Tamashii Nations events and wondered “when can I buy those?!” No it’s not the long lost prototypes of the SWAT Dekarangers or Rio & Mele. But the Blank figures we’ve all come to know. Used to showcase new body & articulation sculpts as well as Tamashii Effects we all wondered if these unique figures would ever be released. Now, they have. So today we’re taking an extensive look at S.H. Figuarts Body-Kun (Gray) DX Set!

Body-Kun is a wonderfully generic figure. The basis for any custom you desire, the subject of any photograph you can imagine, and the ultimate piece of reference for an artist. Body-Kun & the simultaneously released Body-Chan are perhaps the most uninhibited and fun figuarts I’ve ever handled. Loaded down with a plethora of accessories including a multitude of hands, weapons, and every day devices, this seemingly lifeless faceless figure manages to express more in body language alone than most other figuarts ever can.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can view the full 60+ image gallery by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. I had a lot of fun shootinhg this gallery, more than I ever anticipated. So I hope you enjoy it.

“My life’s gonna burn bright!”

The hero that transcends death has arrived in a brand new gallery! S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ghost Ore Damashii is the first entry in Tamashiii Nations’ latest Kamen Rider subline. As such he’s got to set a new bar for what we can expect with the next year or so of related releases. So how is it? Well to be honest Ghost Ore Damashii has gotten a bad rap. Some cases of bad QC coupled with some exaggerations about poor articulation made this an unpopular release.

However Ghost is actually a really faithful release, a nearly spot on representation of the show suit. And yes while there are some minor issues with articulation, he manages to carry a ton of personality in his sculpt. Ghost also comes with his trademark Gan Gun Saber (which can transform to a degree), an alternate hoodie to put over his head, and a 1st run bonus in the form of a to scale Yurusen figure! Honestly as much as I wanted to hate this figure, I found a lot to like about it.

official images and info were just released  for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Omega last week. In that info dump mention was also made of an Amazon Exclusive release for Omega and now we know what sets that release apart from the normal retail one.

The Amazon Limited version will include a special recolor of the Tamashii Flame effects in Green, to replicate Omega’s transformation from his human form. Mention is also made of special packaging to accommodate the flames. Though we don’t have pictures of that yet, it could look quite different from the standard box.

This version of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Omega will be sold exclusively through Amazon.JP so you’ll most likely need to contact your preferred middleman or service in order to secure your order.
