“A jump to the sky turns to a rider kick.”

Surprise! S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Rising Hopper is officially up for pre-order via Bluefin Brands!

Kamen Rider Zero-One began airing just last month, and last week the first S.H. Figuarts release from the series was both revealed, and went up for pre-order through Japanese retailers. But it’s time for North American collectors to rejoice! Bluefin Brands is officially distributing this release here in the US as well! The order page has just gone live on their website, you can place your order HERE.

With a release date of March 2020, and a super low retail price of just $35.00 with $6 flat rate shipping this is going to be a must order item for Kamen Rider collectors. From all of us here on the TokuNation staff, we deeply encourage you as collectors in the western market to order this release directly through Bluefin Brands if possible. Ordering a release like this for a currently airing Kamen Rider series directly from Bluefin, will help create encouraging sales numbers to hopefully continue the trend of getting new and recent Kamen Rider releases stateside.

Ruling over space & time is great and all, but if you have to walk everywhere it’s certainly less fun right? Cue the Ridestriker! Hailing from 2068, the Ridestriker is the personal Rider Machine of both Kamen Rider’s Zi-O & Geiz. Each has their own Ridestriker, and though they came and went infrequently in series (appearing in only 5 episodes), what’s a Rider without their Machine?

The S.H. Figuarts Ridestriker is an absolutely solid Rider Machine, and honestly it’s hard to mess one up in this line. Where this release shines is with the included accessories. Tamashii Nations has seen fit to not only bring us this versatile machine, but also to load it down with the signature weapons of the series two main protagonists. Thus filling the Zikan Girade & the Zikan Zax sized holes in many collections.  The Girade & Ax are included in both forms and we even get 5 new hands for each rider, as well as a couple optional parts to display the Ridestriker itself. This is a set that absolutely compliments any Zi-O Figuarts Collection.

“Blue Ranger! You’re mine!”

As the Space Rangers quest through the stars to save Zordon and bring peace to the galaxy, the newly brainwashed Astronema has finally found the key to their defeat. Drawing their power from the great Dark Specter, these malevolent machines are faster smarter stronger, and evil. First posing as the Power Rangers then attacking them relentlessly, the Psycho Rangers hide even more monstrous strength just below the surface. Each Psycho Ranger is programmed to ruthlessly hunt down the opposing Power Ranger of their color, and Psycho Blue will stop at nothing to find and defeat TJ, the Blue Space Ranger…..

Easily the most memorable and powerful team of evil rangers in franchise history, the Psycho Rangers have earned their place in the hearts of fans and collectors. So it’s no surprise that seeing this team shaping up in Hasbro’s Lighting Collection line has been received so well. Psycho Blue may be the first of the team to hit the line, but Psycho Red was also just released via a two-pack with the Lost Galaxy red Ranger as well. Psycho Blue is armed with his signature Psycho Axe and an energy absorbing hand just for ranger powers, Blue sets the bar high for the rest of the team in Hasbro’s line.

After much speculation, Toei has revealed the trademark naming the 44th Super Sentai Series!

This new project will be titled Majin Sentai KiraMeiger (although official spelling may vary once further details are available).

Based on the name, we can expect a Sentai centered on demons or magic and machines. Unfortunately, no other information is known at time of writing.

Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on the first Super Sentai Series of the Reiwa Era!

“Indeed the power of Kamen Rider Woz, is in the hands of Woz.”

Woz as we first knew him was the mysterious servant to the future demon king Sougo Tokiwa, Oma Zi-O. As the series progressed he became both friend and real ally, but when Zi-O refused his path to the overlords’ future, a divergent timeline came into being. And with it came a divergent Woz, Another Woz, White Woz! In the present day, White Woz wielded the futuring power of Kamen Rider Woz! That is until the original Black Woz, with the aid of the Time Jackers, stole this power for his own. Two Woz’s, One Rider! “Woz! WOZ!!”

Kamen Rider Woz is quite the surprise for me. Initially it was a release I was underwhelmed to be getting, in hand he’s actually wonderful. Building upon the solid engineering of the Zi-O/Geiz mold, Woz is a fantastic figure. With all the hallmarks of the mold’s articulation, with improved neck movement and shoulder pad design, Woz can pose with the best. The lavish paint apps and intricate sculpt also really make this release pop. But really it’s the inclusion of Woz’s signature weapon, the Zekan Despear that sets him apart. Able to change between it’s 3 modes, the Despear is a much needed accessory where Zi-O & Geiz did not include their weapons.
