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.

Today Bandai Tamashii Nations revealed their pickup items due for release in April 2019, and among them is a highly awaited figure for Ultraman fans – S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Belial! Previously revealed via magazine scans and later unveiled at the Tamashii Nations 2018 event, this figure is based on the dark Ultra warrior’s standard Reionics form which he took after merging with Alien Rayblood.

S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Belial will be a general retail release in April 2019, with the price and full accessory count yet to be confirmed. What we do know however is that he will be packaged with his signature Giga Battle Nizer weapon. We’ll bring you more information on this figure as it comes, but in the meantime check out the full selection of images after the jump!

under Kamen Rider

The latest round of magazine scans has hit the Internet, offering fans a look at the upcoming adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O!

The centerpiece of this month’s reveal is the Destroyer Of Worlds. Kamen Rider Decade! With the new Decade RideWatch, Kamen Rider Zi-O unlocks an incredible level of power.

*By itself, the Decade RideArmor is a force to be reckoned with- boosting Zi-O’s powers to untold heights. This armor comes with a unique weapon called the Ride HeiSaber to fend off opponents.

*The true power of the Decade RideArmor is the ability to channel Kamen Rider upgrade forms! By attaching another RideWatch to the Armor, Zi-O can access alternate configurations- including RabbitTank Sparking, Grateful Damashii and Mighty Bros XX.

*To unlock the true potential of this new Armor, Zi-O must meet with Kamen Rider Decade himself! Fan-favorite actor Masahiro Inoue reprises his iconic role as Tsukasa Kadoya- and unlike previous Riders visited by Kamen Rider Zi-O, Tsukasa is still in full control of his Rider powers! Armed with a new model DecaDriver, Tsukasa can access later Heisei Era Kamen Rider forms- including Kamen Rider Wizard, Kamen Rider Ghost & Kamen Rider Build. Interestingly, Kamen Rider Decade appears to be fighting on the side of the TIMEJACKERS rather than the Kamen Riders! What secrets could Tsukasa be hiding?!

*Not to be outdone, another RideArmor is shown in detail- the Kamen Rider W Armor! This new form channels the signature GaiaMemories of W to give Zi-O swift punching and kicking abilities.

*Last but certainly not least, the Kamen Rider Kuuga RideArmor is revealed! This RideArmor will be introduced in the upcoming Heisei Generations Forever movie, where Kamen Rider Zi-O faces off against the monstrous Another Kuuga– a MASSIVE creature that towers over previous villains.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for Kamen Rider fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider Zi-O reveals.

under Power Rangers, Super Sentai

The upcoming release of the Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer and Battleraizer from Denji Sentai Megaranger, better known as Power Rangers In Space for those of us who grew up with the Power Rangers, was originally scheduled to release in December of 2018. Unfortunately, due to what Bandai is calling a “production delay”, the item has been delayed with no current timetable for release.

It should be noted that the previous Super Sentai Artisan releases – specifically the SP License from Dekaranger and before that the Aura Changer from Dairanger – have suffered from quality control issues resulting in entire production run replacements.

The Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer and Battleraizer had recently had payment requests go out. This is the first time an item this close to release has been delayed.
