New images from the latest Kamen Rider Zi-O merchandise catalog have been posted online, revealing several details about the further adventures of this anniversary series!
*Kamen Rider Zi-O upgrades to a new form- Kamen Rider Zi-O II! This new configuration splits Zi-O’s suit-literally doubling the watch decals on the chest and helmet.
*Not to be outdone, Kamen Rider Geiz uses a new hourglass-based RideWatch to become Kamen Rider Geiz Revive! The Revive form has multiple configurations- closed armor for defensive combat and open armor for heavy attacks.
But the biggest reveal in this new catalog is the THIRD Kamen Rider joining the adventure! This is our first look at Kamen Rider Woz! The green Rider from Year 2068 uses a new device known as the BeyonDriver along with his unique brand of RideWatchs- the MiraiWatch!
While Zi-O & Geiz channel the powers of past Kamen Riders, Kamen Rider Woz is able to channel the powers of FUTURE Kamen Riders! Three brand-new Riders are shown in Woz’s arsenal- Kamen Rider Shinobi, Kamen Rider Quiz & Kamen Rider Kikai. Using the MiraiWatches from each, Kamen Rider Woz can activate his Futuring Forms.
Definitely some exciting times ahead for Kamen Rider! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Zi-O reveals.

“We need Megazord power, NOW!”
SDCC had some powerful exclusives for Power Rangers collector’s this year. Exclusives that are now making the rounds at a number of North American conventions such as Fan Expo Canada and New York Comic Con. Today, we’re taking a look at by far the most spectacular of these exclusives with the SOC Soul of Chogokin GX-72B Black Megazord!
The Black Megazord/Daizyujin is an elaborate repaint of the original SOC release, primarily in black, with a plethora of gorgeous gold trim, green accents, and silver chrome. This color scheme is directly inspired by and meant to compliment the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar, which is a bit of a different take on the black repaint tradition than we usually get for MMPR or Zyuranger. Each of the Zords functions identically to the first release, but they look so spectacular in these new colors. We’ve included a number of comparison shots with the first release, with some fun mix & match possibilities as well.
Attached are 120 images of this gorgeous set. You can also read up on our full review of SOC Black Megazord in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t worry if you’ve missed one of it’s various con releases either, it’s being made available through the Tamashii Web Shop in Japan next year as well.
In the upcoming Kamen Rider Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z V-Cinema special, Kamen Rider Cross-Z acquires a new power. Using the Muscle Galaxy Full Bottle, Ryuga Banjo becomes Kamen Rider Cross-Z Evol, and we now have our first look at this magnificent form in all of its glory.
In addition to Cross-Z Evol, a spider-themed character named Killbus was also revealed and will serve as the film’s main antagonist.
A limited theatrical release of the film will begin early 2019 while the Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack will be released in April and will include the DX Muscle Galaxy Full Bottle.
DENJI GATTAI!
The much teased about Super Minipla Galaxy Mega and Delta Mega is finally getting ready for production and thanks to that: new stock photos for the pair have finally come out, giving us a good look at not only the two in space-ship mode but also the combined Super Galaxy Mega form.
At the time of this writing, the release info for the two isn’t really clear. The pair were exhibited at the All Japan Model and Hobby Show which took place during the weekend. From there, the placard on display suggests that they will see release in January 2019 for 3,200 yen though whether this is for the two of them together or for them individually remains to be seen.
In the meantime, you can stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll be sure to update this article as more info becomes available.
