Rejoice, for a new Era of Kamen Rider is at hand!

After months of teasing and speculation we at last have our first look at the very first Rider of the Reiwa Era: Kamen Rider Zero-One! This new Rider’s base form is a yellow and black armor design, known as Rising Hopper.

Zero-One’s abilities are linked to miniature devices known as Progrize Keys. By changing Keys in the belt Zero-One can activate new forms and weapons.

Additional forms for Kamen Rider Zero-One include:


*Flying Falcon
*Biting Shark
*Flaming Tiger
*Freezing Bear

With many more to be revealed!

TWO other Kamen Riders are mentioned in these early scans- Kamen Rider Vulcan & Kamen Rider Valkyrie! Each Rider will have their own Progrize Keys for alternative combat skills. Vulcan’s initial form is Shooting Wolf while Valkyrie’s is Lightning Hornet.

Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new Kamen Rider series!

Bandai’s Candy Toy Blog has just fully revealed two new upcoming waves of Shodo-X! Consisting of releases from Kamen Rider Agito as well as Kamen Rider Black & Black RX, we get a huge variety for forms and a few Rider Machines:

Kamen Rider Agito

– Machine Tornador (A parts)
– Machine Tornador (B Parts)
– Extension set (Weapons & parts to make Flame/Storm forms)

So you get nearly every Agito form aside from Burning as well as his Rider Machine in this wave!

So expect to see cases broken down to sell extras when this wave releases.

Black & RX

Comparisons are shown between these new Shodo-X releases and the original Shodo VS releases for Black & company, illustrating the improvements of the X line. So if you picked up the older VS releases, it looks like a fairly significant upgrade this go around.
