His grandmother always knew it, and so did we. Souji Tendou/Kamen Rider Kabuto has always been destined for greatness! So is it any wonder that his S.H.Figuart is the first to receive Bandai’s radical new premium makeover?
In today’s gallery/review we take a look at this excellent new figure. Implementing a brand new basic SHF body as well as an entirely new wrist peg/hand system, Kamen Rider Kabuto Renewal is the first in a new line of premium SHF releases soon to be continued by Hibiki. If you don’t have any experience with the original Kabuto figuart then you should check this one out, And if you do have experience with it then you DEFINITELY need to check out the renewal. It’s a simply excellent figure, that wholly improves on the original.

Time for another trip to the Land of Light! We’re back with another long overdue Ultra-Act gallery in the form of Ultraman Zero (V2)!
Just to start, this figure is a VAST improvement on the original Ultra-Act Zero. Aside from implementing proper articulation and paint apps, this figure includes more accessories than you could have hoped for. Nearly every accessory important to the character is included, effect parts are a plenty, and the figure couldn’t look more perfect.
This figure is an absolutely ideal example of the quality improvements this line has undergone since it’s inception. If you haven’t picked it up by now, then you definitely should. As it happens, TokuNation site sponsor has Ultra-Act Ultraman Zero V2 for $45.99. You’re doing yourself a favor picking this one up. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” to be taken to the full gallery of this figure!
