Happy Holidays, TokuNation!

Earlier in the week, we were delighted to our first full look at the 44th Super Sentai: Mashin Sentai Kiramager and since then, some new exciting promotional material’s come up giving us our first look at the core Mecha of the team;

Blue will pilot a jet, Pink pilots a helicopter, Yellow’s a crane excavator, green’s is a sports car, while the Red Ranger drives a truck-like vehicle of some sort.

We were initially led to believe that Red’s mecha will be the sports car, but it seems like that initial scan that was posted was false though the popular theory right now is that the team will have an evolution of the color/power swapping gimmick first employed by 2014’s Ressha Sentai ToQger but we have no way of confirming this at this time. 

There is still much we don’t know about this exciting new entry into the Super Sentai series, so be sure to check back with us and we’ll provide you with more info as it becomes available. In the meantime, make the jump to our disscussion thread and let us know what you think in the comments.

“I won’t lose myself anymore.
This power is all mine now!”

The Hazard Trigger. With it, Sento Kiryu can gain the upper hand in any fight, becoming an unstoppable berserker in the process. To contain the uncontrollable power, he develops a new bottle to channel his strength and consciousness. Surpassing the genius of Takumi Katsuragi, the Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle creates Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Rabbit Form! Representing his home Seito in the 3-round battle, Build will test his new power against the dangerous Kamen Rider Rogue.

Rabbit Rabbit Form joins an ever expanding line up of figures from the world of Build. An extensive repaint/retool of the base rabbit/tank mold and it’s variations, rabbit rabbit evokes the true power of the Rider System. With the added bulk of it’s new armor, it’s an intimidating yet heroic design, and it’s armed with a brand new weapon in the form of the Full Bottle Buster. Getting ever closer to Build’s later seasons forms, this one will please many fans until the hopefully eventual release of Build Genius Form.

We’ve assembled a full 80 image gallery of  Build Rabbit Rabbit Form, which you can see in our full gallery thread after the jump.
