The latest round of magazine scans has been posted online, giving fans some much-needed new details on the further adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O!

*Centerpiece of this month’s spread is Kamen Rider Woz! Using a new model Driver known as the BeyonDriver, Woz has his own unique brand of RideWatches called MiraiWatches that power his distinctive abilities. Kamen Rider Woz’s signature weapon- the Zikan DeSpear is also displayed in full.

To assist in his quest, Kamen Rider Woz summons two BRAND-NEW Kamen Riders!

*Kamen Rider Quiz is a blue & red Rider from the year 2040 with skills linked to intelligence.
*Kamen Rider Shinobi is a purple Rider from the year 2022 with the power to control elements and perplex enemies with swift movements.

Both Riders appear to fight alongside Kamen Rider Zi-O & Kamen Rider Gates against their respective AnotherRider counterparts.

*Finally, Zi-O gains another upgrade to his powers- combining the Kamen Rider OOO RideWatch with the Kamen Rider Decade RideArmor to unlock Kamen Rider Zi-O Decade OOO Form– based on Kamen Rider OOO’s signature TaJaDoru Combo.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for this adventurous Rider series! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider reveals.

The last cinematic Kamen Rider project of the Heisei Era– Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER hits theaters this weekend and the good people at Toei have apparently decided to end things with a bang!

Two Heisei-Rider veterans have made their long-awaited return in this special crossover:

*Takeru Satoh who previously played the titular hero of Ryotaro Nogami/Kamen Rider Den-O has returned! This is Satoh’s first role in tokusatsu since leaving the role of Den-O in 2008, and many fans thought his reprisal would be unlikely due to the actors’ busy schedule.

*Not to be outdone, actor Toshiki Kashu (who portrayed /Shouichi Tsugami/Kamen Rider Agito) also announced his participation in Heisei Generations Forever! This tidbit was revealed via an image on the actors’ Instagram featuring a recording booth- causing some to speculate this particular return may be voice only.

Feel free to join in our Heisei Generations Forever Discussion Thread to share your thoughts about these remarkable returns!

RIDER TIME!

With RAH Kamen Rider Build Tank Rabbit Form releasing later this month, the time seems perfect to follow up with the new Rider on the block. 1/6th scale collectors rejoice! For our Lord, Kamen Rider Zi-O has come to Medicom’s Real Action Heroes line of high-end toys.

RAH Kamen Rider Zi-O recreates the stunt suit with exquisite detail, everything right down the belt and even the Ride Watch is painted. Kamen Rider Zi-O’s signature weapon the Jikan Grade is included in both sword and gun modes, along with a watch-themed display base and a nifty light-up feature in the eyes. 

For now, there’s no price or release date as all photos came data mined courtesy of Tokullector via Twitter. We’ll be sure to update you as that info becomes available.

 

UPDATE:
Thanks to an update from Figsoku.net, we now know that RAH Kamen Rider Zi-O will be coming out October 2019, retailing for 35,640 yen.

*Zyuoh Eagle/Yamato
*Gokai Red/Captain Marvelous
*Akaninger/Takaharu
*Sasori Orange/Stinger
*Toq 5/Kagura

And perhaps more Super Sentai veterans will drop in for the occasion!

This special tournament will begin February 17 2019!

Today, Toei began streaming a new video promoting the upcoming Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever film (which comes out in two days!). But rather than just a new teaser or trailer for the film, this video previews the films theme song, which is itself a compilation and re-mix of the Opening Themes for all 20 Heisei Riders!

Titled “Heisei Generations Forever Medley D.A. Re-Build Mix” this song arranges clips from each of the 20 Heisei Rider OP’s into one giant song, set to a variety of archival footage as well as new scenes from the soon to be released film itself.  This new theme was arranged by Daisuke Asakura.

Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever hits Japanese theaters on December 22nd! Best to dodge spoilers on social media for a bit, but if you’d like to join in on our ongoing discussion of the film, feel free to pop into our discussion thread linked below.

In a new feature for Tokunation, we’re teaming up with review blog My Shiny Toy Robots to feature and cross-promote the various tokusatsu series and film reviews featured on the site. In the first of what will hopefully be many posts, we’re discussing the finale to Kamen Rider Amazons story – Kamen Rider Amazons the Movie: The Last Judgement!

Released earlier this year in the place of the annual Super Hero Taisen spring movie, The Last Judgement chronicles the final showdown between Haruka Misuzawa (Kamen Rider Amazon Omega) and Jin Takayama (Kamen Rider Alpha Alpha) as Haruka stumbles upon a new scheme to use Amazons to solve the world’s growing food crisis.

As seen over on Hero Shock, we have our first full length look at Kamen Rider Woz! While we’ve known for a couple of months that Woz would be getting his own set of Rider powers, we still don’t know what episode of Kamen Rider Zi-O that Woz will display his abilities in for the first time.

Using the Beyondriver, Kamen Rider Woz will use a special type of Ride Watch called MiRide Watches to access the powers of riders from the future. The future Kamen Riders, Shinobi, Quiz & Kikai that Woz draws his powers from have also yet to appear in the show, if they will at all. We should have our next batch of episode summaries coming up in the near future, so confirmation on Woz’s first transformation should come in the near future.

What do you think of Kamen Rider Woz? Let us known in the ongoing Zi-O News & Rumors Thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” below.

For those of us that are just tuning in and missed the big announcement: Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger was announced  as the 43rd Super Sentai series proceeding the currently airing Kaitou Sentai LupinRanger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger. Clearer versions of the initial toy catalog scans have been trickling out since then, and thanks to some new pages that have been uncovered we have some new details regarding this forthcoming series.

It’s been rumored for quite some time now that Super Sentai will be going on a bit of a break in February, that rumored break is now confirmed via these new scans. Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger won’t be airing till March until then Toei will be releasing historical Super Sentai videos throughout February on YouTube. Rumour has it that Captain Marvelous/Ryota Ozawa of Gokaiger will be hosting hese videos, though nothing official has been confirmed regarding these videos, so please do take this with a grain of salt. 

In addition to that, clearer scans of both the roleplay toys and mecha were also released. The scan shows us a glimpse at how Ryusouger will transform and it seems like the team will perform some sort of dance before initiating the change, an element very reminiscent of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.

There’s still a lot we don’t know about the new Sentai on the block, so stay tuned and we’ll keep you up to date as new info becomes available. In the meantime, make sure to hit the jump and join us in the discussion thread.

“Luna/Trigger!”

Toku Toy Box continues on and it’s time we return to a windy city called Fuuto, to revisit everyone’s favorite half-boild detective! When Shotaro Hidari & Philip combine their minds they become one as Kamen Rider W! But when the situation calls for something else, new Gaia Memories give W the edge he (they?) needs to take on the Museum’s Dopants. Using the Luna & Trigger Memories, Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger is formed!

The Shinkocchou Seihou line up of premium S.H. Figuarts renewals has been giving fans the long awaited do-overs they’ve requested for over 4 years now. Kamen Rider W Cyclone/Joker was perhaps one of the best figures to come out of this renewed line, though many many good figure’s have since as well. But that mold has proven to be near perfect in any of the various ways it’s been released. Luna/Trigger is just yet another amazing use of the Seihou W mold. If you know anything about this body type at all, you know you’re going to love this figure as well.

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger to this post. You can also check out our full review thread of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time Toku Toy Box gets *HOT* with a magical gallery from Kamen Rider Wizard!
