Hot on the heels of the recently released Arms Change Kiwami Arms, the Bandai Tamashii website has just revealed S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms!

This ultimate form for Kamen Rider Gaim is certainly given the collector’s line overhaul compared to the budgeted retail version. So far we know it will be released in November for 5180 yen, but other than the two versions of the DJ Gun included with it, we don’t know what other accessories it may have. But based on the price it’s sure to have at least one or two!

under Metal Heroes

Hey you Metal Heroes & Beetleborgs fans!!  For those that are patient, your wishes have finally been answered, coming from the Tamashii Web Shop in January, 2015 is the Blue Beet from Juukou B-Fighter, also known as The Blue Stinger Beetleborg from Big Bad Beetleborgs! Priced at 4,860 yen.

Also pictured with Blue Beet is the evil Black Beet, or as western fans know him, Shadowborg & General Venjix! Sadly Black/Shadow’s price and release date have yet to be revealed.

It’s time once again for a Toy Tuesdays Gallery at TokuNation! This time we’re taking a look at a blast form the past, renewed for today. It’s S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black Renewal & S.H. Figuarts Battle Hopper Renewal!

One of the most popular Showa era riders is undeniably Kamen Rider Black. Heralded as one of the best rider shows out there is it any wonder Bandai finally decided to give collectors a better alternative to owning Black? The original S.H. Figuarts releases of both Black & Battle Hopper, while fine for their time, have been outshined since by far far better figures. So to rectify this situation Bandai released a new Black & Battle Hoppper as the first in a line of Kamen Rider Renewals!

 The short of it is that these two figures are fantastically better than their original counterparts, but to find out why you should check out our full review and gallery after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full gallery and review thread.

We’ll be taking a week off from Toy Tuesdays next week as TokuNations begins it’s full coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2014. So be sure to follow us @TokuNation on Twitter, @TokuNation on Instagram, ”Like” us on Facebook, and for easy-to-navigate coverage, click here to see ONLY our San Diego Comic Con 2014 coverage. And be sure to follow our coverage team “Kickback” @rankal on Twitter, “Den-O” @DenO_TokuNation on Twitter, and our good buddy “Deefuzz” @Deefuzz on Twitter.

under Ultraman

It’s time once again for TokuNation to plume the  depths of it’s newest segment, Toy Tuesdays! This time around we’re forgoing the spandex heroes and bug men in favor of the most venerable of toku hero franchise,s Ultraman! This week we spotlight the recently released Ultra-Act Ultraman Ginga!

Ginga is of course the titular hero of the Ultraman Ginga story featured in New Ultraman Retsudan! Returning soon in Ultraman Ginga S, this is the first collector’s style toy released from the first series. As a part of the long lived Ultra-Act line Ginga has had a lot to live up to, or rather he needed to live up to the quality of the more recent releases in the line. And does he ever! Ginga is by far one of the most dynamic entries in the line, this mold screams with personality.

Ginga is a little lite on the accessories, but as mentioned in our review of the figure, his most important accessory is actually all over his body. The Light Crystals mounted all over his body are fully removable, as are the head and shoulder pads, suggesting Bandai plans to release future accessory sets for Ginga’s other forms and powers! For once it seems Bandai/Tamashii Nations has really planned ahead with a new release. Depending on Ginga’s sales we could be in store for some great surprises in the future.

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to enjoy a full 40 image gallery of this figure as well as a lengthy review. We’ll see you back here next week for another Toy Tuesdays gallery, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black & Battle Hopper Renewal!

under Conventions, Other Conventions, Power Rangers, San Diego Comic Con

They teased. They toyed with our emotions. For a couple of years now, Bluefin Tamashii Nations have teased us that they could do a Lord Zedd figure, either as a S.H. Figuarts or a FiguartsZERO. After teasing us that they could, they teased that they had something they were working on. But then time passed by. Over a year after teasing that something was in the works, at Anime Expo this past weekend, they finally delivered on their tease. During a panel regarding current and upcoming projects, a blurry image of Lord Zedd with his iconic throne was shown with the tag FiguartsZERO.

It would appear that all that waiting has finally paid off. After showing the blurry image, they later announced on their Facebook page that everything shown at the panel would most likely be shown in person at this year’s upcoming San Diego Comic Con. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered there (our full coverage begins Tuesday, July 22nd … or basically just about 2 weeks away). Here’s a run down on the news from the panel that pertains to Power Rangers!

  • FiguartsZERO Lord Zedd – more details to come, could be shown at SDCC 2014
  • S.H. Figuarts of other Power Rangers teams – they stated that Bandai doesn’t think there’s currently a series that has an overwhelming demand.  They want to see an overwhelming demand for a series before they could begin working on it.  They’ve asked that we please spam their Facebook page with requests for one of three series – Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers In Space, or Power Rangers Time Force.  Doing so will show Bandai that there’s an overwhelming demand and they can move forward.

This is apparently the year of Lord Zedd!  First he gets a Legacy figure, and now he is apparently getting a FiguartsZERO as well. So let’s talk about it #RangerNation! Is a FiguartsZERO Lord Zedd a must-buy for you? Is it a wait and see? Join in the discussion! Don’t forget to keep your browsers tuned right here for our coverage of this year’s San Diego Comic Con – pictures, videos, interviews, and so much more!

under Kamen Rider

Kamen Rider Gaim toys just continue to flood the market! And today is no different, in this weeks installment of Toy Tuesdays @ TokuNation we’re bringing you a gallery of another of these recent releases in the form of S.H. Figuarts Sakura Hurricane!

Sakura Hurricane is of course the sweet sweet trans-dimensional hopping bike of our titular hero. Previously a “DX” lock seed style Lock Vehicle of this bike had been released by Bandai of Japan as a part of the Gaim main line of toys. But now collector’s finally have this wonderful addition for their collections. Though it doesn’t feature the spiffy transformation gimmick of the Lock Vehicles line, it does have a fantastic sculpt and a premium paint job. Though commonly for an SHF vehicle it’s lacking in the accessories department.

Read on by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the entire review and gallery of this wonderful piece. And be sure to check back next Tuesday when we bring you the first in a pair of themed gallery from the Showa Era of Kamen Rider. Next weeks it’s a doubled up gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black & Battle Hopper!
