Signal Bike/Shift Car!

One of the most unusual forms to come out of Kamen Rider Drive has finally arrived in figure form. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Super Dead Heat Drive is here for our latest gallery! This hodgepodge form only appears in the film Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future, and the circumstances by which it exists are pretty dire. Without spoiling the film Shinnosuke is forced to use the Tridoron Key with a Mach Driver, to attain a body identical to Mashin Chaser but with a Type Speed style head.

The Super Dead Heat Drive figuart takes full advantage of parts reuse to recreate this form perfectly. Right down to a fully removebale Tridoron Key, as well as a gorgeously detailed new version of the Type Speed head. If you’ve experienced the Mashin Chaser body, then you’re familiar with this excellent figure. And luckily this release retains it’s compatibility with the Busou Chaser accessory set! However it does lack quite a bit in terms of it’s own accessories. But we made due with what we had already to give this figure it’s proper due!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but we’ve got over 50 in the full gallery thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the entire gallery & review! We’ll be back next time when the final announced (so far) Drive figuart is released, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser Mach!

Another month has come & gone and so we have a number of toy galleries and in depth reviews by our Photo & Content staff to round-up once again! Though all the products we reviewed this past month were released in the last 3 or 4 years, the content they covered spanned decades. A selection of Ranger Keys took us down the path of Metal Heroes from 1982 all the way to 2012, the Legacy line gave us a one-two punch throwback to 1994 & 1995, and we caught up with some much needed gallery 2.0’s a recent and often overlooked sentai.

As always you’ll find below links to this months gallery/reviews. We look forward to bringing you even more content this month!

“Ryuuj!!!”

The TokuNation Gallery 2.0 project adds another entry today with another visit to Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters! Last week we posted our S.H. Figuarts Blue Buster gallery 2.0, so as a companion to that entry today we’re bringing you Ryuuji’s partner Buddyroid, S.H. Figuarts Gorisaki Banana!

Much like Nick Cheead, Gorisaki is a totally new mold for this line. A unique robotic gorilla (as the name implies), Gorisaki features articulation and posability that’s in line with what a person wearing a suit and acting as this character would likely have available. While the accuracy of this isn’t lost on me, it also hurts what the figure can do to a degree. Gorisaki also comes with no accessories at all, so the figure has to hit the mark perfectly. And while he may not have done so, Gorisaki undoubtedly is a fun figure with some great personality to him.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but the full 40 image gallery is view-able after the jump. As well as an in depth review into the pros & cons of this figures’ design. Just click “Discuss on The TokuNation Forums”. We’ll be backnext month with a final Gallery 2.0 for Go-Busters with the S.H. Figuarts Yellow Buster & Usada Lettuce 2-Pack!

Let’s Morphin!

The TokuNation Gallery 2.0 initiative slowly marches on! It’s been a while since we posted one of our updated looks at a figure gone by. But today we’re back with the third in our series of do-overs for Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters with S.H. Figuarts Blue Buster!

First things first, Blue Buster is basically identical to the previously released Red Buster. The only mold difference is the helmet. If you have experience with this mold then you know it well. Admittedly it’s not perfect, there’s limited upper arm movement & especially difficult to swap hands. But Blue Buster is still a more than serviceable release with a great selection of accessories including the Sougan Blade, Ichigan Buster, & the combined Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode! If you’re looking for another addition to your sentai figuarts display, this one is both inexpensive to acquire and still pretty great despite it’s flaws.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but the full 40 image gallery is view-able after the jump. Just click “Discuss on The TokuNation Forums”. We’ll be back in just a few days with yet another Go-Busters gallery 2.0 with S.H. Figuarts Gorisaki Banana!

The Kamen Rider Ryuki line of S.H. Figuarts continues with the announcement of Darkraider – the powered up contract monster of Kamen Rider Knight Survive! With this power, the contract monster gains the power to transform between a bat and a motorcycle.

As was the case with the previously announced Dragranzer, Darkraider will be released in two ways. The first is part of a two-pack with the previously released S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Knight Survive, costing a hefty price of 16,200 yen. This set will come packaged with all of Knight Survive’s accessories (replacement hands, the Dark Visor, two versions of the Dark Blade, a selection of Advent Cards and a clear Tamashii stage) as well as connection parts of the Dark Visor to the bike and swappable cape parts for Knight.

However if you already own a Knight Survive figure, you can instead opt for the single release of Darkraider, which instead costs 11, 880 yen. However this will only come packaged with the Dark Visor connection parts and swappable cape.

Both versions of the figure are due for release in August and are Tamashii web exclusives. Check out the full selection of images after the jump.

The return of the GARO S.H. Figuarts continues! A new figure of the golden knight was recently seen in magazines scans, with many assuming it to be the renewal version of the Kouga Saejima version of the character previously seen at the 2014 Tamashii Nations event. However official images from Bandai’s Tamashii Web Shop can confirm this not to be the case, with the figure actually based on the golden version of Ryuga Dougai’s armour from the end of Yami o Terasu Mono (The One Who Shines in the Darkness)

A retool of the Garo Ryuga Ver. figure released a few months ago, Garo Golden Ryuga Ver. will be released in August as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, priced 6480 yen. He comes packaged with a selection of alternate hands as well as the Garo Ken sword and a slash effect part.

Check out the full range of images after the jump!

A few days ago the latest batch of toy magazine scans revealed that Kamen Rider Necrom would soon be joining the S.H. Figuarts line. Bandai Tamashii Nations have now followed that up with his official listing on the Tamashii web store, featuring a much more detailed look at the figure.

A Tamashii web exclusive due for release in November and costing 6048 yen, Kamen Rider Necrom comes packaged with just a selection of alternate hands and an additional hood piece.

Will Kamen Rider Necrom be joining your collection? Check out the full image gallery and let us know after the jump!
