“Black Hazard! Oh no!”

Toku Toy Box is kicking off strong this year with a dangerous and deadly gallery from Kamen Rider Build!  An item of unmatched power, based upon something even more ancient and powerful, the Hazard Trigger was given to Sento Kiryu by Blood Stalk. Using it’s uncontrollable power, the black hazard, Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Hazard Form emerges! For better or worse Sento must use this dangerous power to fight. Now we take a look at the Tamashii Nations 2018 event exclusive S.H. Figuart of this form!

A brilliant repaint and remold of the original Build Rabbit/Tank mold, Build Hazard is sleek and sexy. A form that gives off an aura of power and danger, Hazard Form is easily one of the best Build releases in the line so far. All of the same standard articulation from the original mold is back, but we get a really gorgeous and fierce new helmet design and some fantastic new shoulder pad designs. While Hazard includes a few hands for posing, the truly impressive accessories with this figure are the Hawk/Gattling Hazard Form parts! We get a new head, the Hawk Gattlinger weapon, and the Taka & Gattling Full Bottles. More Figuarts should come with swap out accessories such as this.

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery of this impressive release to this post, but you can also check out our lengthy review by clicking the link below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be taken to our full review thread! In a couple days we’ll be back with another Toku Toy Box gallery, and this time, it’ll be of a truly impressive custom figure we’ve been waiting over a year to share with you!

Once again it’s the time of year that the community and our staff love most – time for all of us to celebrate our respective holidays & traditions with the friends and loved ones we hold dear. But it’s also time for TokuNation.com to celebrate itself. Our little community is hitting another milestone this year, our 7 year anniversary!! January 4th 2019, will officially mark 7 years since TokuNation first went public as part of the network of TFW2005.COM, ToyArk.com, and HissTank.com through both network owner Tony_Bacala and our founder and original Editor-In-Chief, TokuChris.

For 7 years now we’ve posted news, rumors, toy galleries, videos, and even dabbled in podcasts for a bit (never forget Talkin Toku!). As times have changed we’ve done our best to change with them, delivering you content in different ways, covering new and exciting topics, and trying to improve our social outreach. This year we even had some leadership changes as I took over full time as Editor-In-Chief from our founder and my dear friend Toku Chris. But the more things change, the more they stay the same as well! There’s one constant that’s been with us since our first year – the annual Toku Toy Box giveaway!

Like years’ past, TokuNation is hosting an annual holiday giveaway open to ALL registered users! You’ll recall that in years’ past giveaways, users could post in a selection of galleries within the contest period to automatically be entered into the drawing for several prizes. This year however we’ve opened things up. Not only will we be posting a number of eligible galleries throughout the month of December, but every gallery we’ve posted in 2018 also makes you eligible! If you’ve already posted in the 1 of the over 40 galleries we’ve produced this year, then you’re already entered. If not, you already have over 40 chances with more on the way this month! To show our appreciation to you, the community, we’ve assembled a number of individual prizes instead of prize packs this year. We wanted to share the love around a bit more than we have with big concentrated prizes in the past. So this year will see a number of individual prizes distributed to our random winners, so there are even more chances to win this year than ever!

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the OFFICIAL RULES for of Toku Toy Box 2018! The first new gallery of the giveaway period will be posted later today, so be on the lookout! For now though, thank you. Thanks to all of you who continue to call this place your home for news, discussion, images, sales, friendships, artwork, videos, podcasts, and everything else in between. Happy Holidays from all of us, and best of luck in our giveaway! It’s our gift to you this, and every, holiday season!

under Godzilla

The Tokyo Comic Con is currently underway in Japan this weekend and among the extensive displays from various companies is a special treat for Godzilla fans. Bandai Tamashii Nations have revealed their S.H. MonsterArts figures for next years Godzilla: King of the Monsters movie, with Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah on display!

This marks our first proper look at the three iconic kaiju that will be joining the King of the Monsters for this film, and though there have been some changes (Mothra’s body in particular) it’s clear that Legendary Pictures have remained relatively faithful to Toho‘s original designs.

Stay tuned to Tokunation for more news about these figures’ release as it comes, but in the meantime you can check out full-sized images of these fantastic re-imaginings after the jump!

Both Riders will include alternate hand assortments along with their personal sidearms: Geiz with his Zikan Zax and Zi-O Zikan Grade, with the gun and bow modes being included for both weapons though it is unknown if the weapons themselves will be able to transform or not.

In case you missed it Max Factory announced that three SSSS Gridman characters were on their way to Figma: Gridman himself, along with Akane and Rikka. But it seems like Figma won’t be the only way for collectors to enjoy those characters: with Goodsmile’s Nendoroid SSSS.Gridman, Rikka, and Akane were also just recently revealed in cute chibified forms. 

At the moment, only Gridman himself appears to be fully painted with Akane still in the early development with Akane only existing as concept art.

Be sure to stay tuned to Tokunation though, and we’ll bring you more info as it becomes available.
