“My strength is off the charts.”

The cruelty of humanity. That is what Gai Amatsu instilled in Satellite Ark. In doing so he instigated not only the Daybreak Town Incident, but also the creation of Metsuboujinrai.net, and all the pain to come for both humans & humagears. For 12 years Gai has manipulated events from the comfortable shadows of ZAIA Enterprise. Now the mysterious man behind A.I.M.S. has his sights set on Hiden Intelligence as well, but can Zero-One keep his grandfather’s company safe? Gai Amatsu is a master manipulator, and maybe one day, he could even be a hero. But for now? With strength that’s 1000% greater than Zero-One’s, the golden solider Kamen Rider Thouser is born!

Sharing it’s essential engineering and even some actual parts with Zero-One, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Thouser is a pretty regal release. Gold & silver with royal purple compound eyes, Thouser is exactly as ostentatious as it’s user would have hoped. A lavishly detailed and well executed figure with a handful of design drawbacks, Thouser is complimented by his Thousand Jacker and even includes a Raidriser for use with other figures! While not a perfect release it will add 1000% more power to your collection.

Figuarts Kamen Rider Thouser in the thread linked below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And remember, commenting in this gallery thread will qualify you for one (1) additional entry in our annual TOKU TOY BOX giveaway! Offical rules HERE.

“Let my true power return!”

Manipulating the world around him since he arrived on Earth, the alien Evolt has continued to evolve. Shedding the skin of Blood Stalk thanks to the Evol Driver at Phase 1, absorbing the rage of a dragon with Ryuga at Phase 2, and absorbing the rabbit genius with Sento at Phase 3. But with the powers of the Evol Trigger finally restored, an even greater evolution is revealed as Evolt enters Phase 4. The awesome power of Kamen Rider Evol Black Hole is reborn! Consuming everything in his path, this is the power that destroyed Mars, and will destroy the Earth if Kamen Rider Build and his allies fail. Are you ready?

The destroyer of worlds return in his Phase 4 form, as Kamen Rider Evol Black Hole! This is a completely stunning remold and repaint of the previously released Evol Phase 1. Though this release doesn’t include any optional armor like that one, only coming with some additional pairs of hands, it’s an incredibly well done recreation of Evol’s ultimate form. While it may have a few minor flaws, it carries with it all the personality and charms of the previous release, while being able to focus on it’s singular form.

“Do it Ejji! Henshin!”

800 years ago 4 alchemists created the Greeed. Incapable of human emotion and consumed by craving, they desired to consume the world. Before they could, they were sealed away by the first OOO. In the present Eiji Hino was minding his own business as a part time security guard when Ankh managed to break the seal on the Greeed, releasing them back into the human world. Still craving to be whole, nothing could stand in their way without the power of the King. Though still incomplete himself, just a disembodied hand, Ankh stole some of their Core Medals and the OOO Driver looking to find a human pawn. Handing the Driver of the king and the Core Medals over to the hapless Eiji, Ankh allowed him to become Kamen Rider OOO!

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Ankh is now Bandai’s third attempt to get the incomplete form of this character right. Taking what came before it in the form of a first run bonus, then a bonafide accessory set, Seihou Ankh aims to be the all in one package and for the most part succeeds. Including iconic accessories like Ankh’s Ice Pop, cell phone, and two sets of Core Medals, this figure is also capable of becoming the forearm of Seihou Human Form Ankh. With a variety of options like this, and perfectly complimenting Shinkocchou Seihou OOO, Ankh should hit the sweet spot for most collectors.

Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Ankh in the thread linked below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And remember, commenting in this gallery thread will qualify you for one (1) additional entry in our annual TOKU TOY BOX giveaway! Offical rules HERE.

“This Zero-One Driver’s different from the usual one.”

In one world the life of the average human has been made better by Hide Intelligence’s Humagears. When their founder, Korenosuke Hiden, passed away the responsibilities of president passed on to his grandson, Aruto. Authorized to use the Progrise Keys & Zero-One Driver, he fought to build a world where Humans & Humagers could coexist, as Kamen Rider Zero-One! But in another world, where Humagears exterminate humans, Aruto is on the run. His company lost, his driver taken, teaming up with Kamen Rider Zi-O, and relying on a Forceriser given to him by a mysterious stranger, Aruto fights to bring his world back and begin a new generation of heroes as Kamen Rider Zero Zero-One!

Zero Zero-One is Aruto’s movie exclusive form from Reiwa: The First Generation. The S.H. Figuart of this design is much like the actual suit, an amalgam of parts from multiple characters. Zero Zero-One features a mix of body parts from Kamen Rider Horobi, as well as a surprising number of parts carried over or slightly remolded from Build villain Night Rogue and vis various remolds, all while featuring a brand new Zero-One head sculpt. And while this release doesn’t come with much, only a few pairs of hands, it’s a striking design that’s sure to accent your ever growing Zero-One Figuarts collection.

There’s a magnificent display of older releases surrounding the entire rider display that essentially adds up to most if not all of the regular Rider releases from the last decade. It’s an impresssive sight to behold and one that we don’t have the time to list out every individual figure for. We’re sure that more will be revealed through out the weekend though so be sure to stick with us for all your updates from Tamashii Nations 2020!

Following up on our reporting from Tamashii Nations 2020 on the display of previously revealed and newly unveiled Ultraman S.H. Figuarts, Bandai has also dropped a couple massive reveals. While these items are currently listed as “Display Only”, we have our very first looks at two new possible additions to the long running Soul of Chogokin line from two Metal Hero series!

First up is the one which began it all, hailing from 1982’s Space Sheriff Gavan is the Electronic Star Beast Dol Dragon and the Giran Saucer! While the prototypes on display do not currently give us a look at the combined Dol Giran mode, we can probably infer the transformation gimmick in such a comprehensive release as an SOC. As is, What we see on display is a magnificent set and gives us a great sense of  scale, hewing very close to the size of the original toys based on the Tamashii Stages they’re displayed on.

And the second surprise reveal is the massive (and transforming!) planetary battleship Daileon from 1985’s Megabeast Investigator Juspion! Continuing the short lived tradition of the transforming Metal hero robo, Daileon changes from battleship to massive mecha. though we have less of a sense of scale for this release, we can see it does appear to included a small scale Juspion figure, as well as a tiny to-scale version of Juspion’s Garvin Tank!

As mentioned neither of these releases has even been confirmed for release yet, so there are no pricing or full accessory breakdowns to be known at this time. These could very well join the long list of prototypes locked away in Bandai’s vault. But for now, we hope to see much more of these two exciting reveals. Keep it tuned to TokuNation for more updates from Tamashii Naitons 2020!

Yesterday we saw Bandai Tamashii Nations jump into the world of high-end statues with the announcement of the Tamashii Studios Premium Ultraman Zero -10 Years of Trajectory- figure, but it looks as though the line won’t be just a one-off thing to celebrate Zero’s 10th anniversary!

A further two releases in this new line have been unveiled at Tamashii Nations 2020 – one of Zero’s rival Ultraman Belial, and another of Kamen Rider Double facing off against two Masquerade Dopants! Like the Zero figure both sport incredible detailing, however it’s unclear whether they also feature illuminating parts. One thing’s for sure though – they won’t come cheap.

Check out the full selection of images after the jump and join in on our Tamashii Nations 2020 discussion!

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Ultraman Zero, Bandai Tamashii Nations have unveiled the Tamashii Studios Premium Ultraman Zero -10 Years of Trajectory-, the first in a line of high quality statues.

Sitting atop a rocky plinth (featuring a miniature Pigmon!), Ultraman Zero features illuminating eyes and colour timer as well as a removable cloak. This extremely high quality statue mirrors the detailing of the suit down to the finest detail, making it one of the most impressive pieces the company has produced to date.

Such quality does not come cheap though, with the Tamashii web exclusive statue costing a hefty 132,000 yen. If you’d like to add this incredible piece to your collection though, it will be releasing in July 2021.
