A plethora of new images for the upcoming Kamen Rider Zi-O toyline have been released!

This is our best look yet at the Rider Kick Figure series- specifically the Rider Armor releases. These figures represent the powers of legendary Kamen Riders!

The next two releases in this series will be Rider Armors based on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and Kamen Rider Ghost! Both Armors have reversible color patterns to better match the basic RKF bodies belonging to Kamen Rider Zi-O and Kamen Rider Geiz.

And as an extra bonus we have a close look at the new Riders’ method of transportation- the DX RideStriker! This is a unique motorcycle toy that transforms into a special RideWatch that can be used in the DX ZikuDriver.

With the premiere of Kamen Rider Zi-O only days away, merchandise is already on its way to store shelves! Be sure to stop by your preferred Rider retailer to stock up on all your Zi-O needs!

As time inches closer & closer to the premiere of the 20th Heisei-era Kamen Rider project Kamen Rider Zi-O, many fans have been wondering just how Toei would celebrate this momentous anniversary. While several characters from the series’ immediately before Zi-O were spotted filming, appearances from OLDER Rider shows has been a questionable factor.

Well, now at last we have confirmed more veteran Kamen Riders returning!

Two lead Riders from 2003’s Kamen Rider Faiz will be appearing in cameos alongside the final members of the Heisei Era-

*Kento Handa will resume his iconic role as the titular Kamen Rider Faiz
*Kouhei Murakami will take up the mantle of Kamen Rider Kaixa one more time.

The exact circumstances where these historic Riders meet up with new hero Zi-O are not known at time of writing. So be sure to join in our Official Zi-O Rumor Discussion Thread to share your thoughts and fears on this exciting new series!

We are merely days away from the premiere of the 20th and final Heisei Era Kamen Rider series, and now we have been given a few quick shots at the upcoming adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O!

The highlights from this months’ scans include-

*Kamen Rider Zi-O & his counterpart Kamen Rider Geiz testing out their new henshin belts and weapons. Zi-O uses the Zikan Gilade sword while Geiz controls the Zikan Zax crossbow. Zi-O’s unique motorcycle, the RideStriker is also on display, rounding out his arsenal.

*The monstrous AnotherRiders are shown in full! These are corrupted versions of past Kamen Riders awakened by the villainous TimeJackers. The AnotherRider versions of Kamen Rider Build and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid will be Zi-Os’ first proper opponents.

*By defeating the AnotherRiders, Zi-O will gain the Riders’ powers. We get to see the effects of this thanks to Zi-O’s Armor Time– channeling new forms based on the past Rider in question. The form detailed in this months’ scan is the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid RideArmor! In this new configuration Zi-O gains powerful punching attacks thanks to new piston weapons.

*Not to be outdone, Kamen Rider Geiz is shown obtaining the Kamen Rider Drive RideArmor! This new form grants Geiz powerful speed-kicks and control of Drive’s trademark ShiftCar.

*Looming over the Riders’ adventures is the sinister Demon King ZI-O! This figure is a golden corrupted version of Kamen Rider Zi-O from the same future as Kamen Rider Geiz- a world without hope ruled by a merciless king. Is this Zi-O’s ultimate fate? Only time will tell!

Kamen Rider Zi-O is officially scheduled to begin on September 2 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new Rider series!

“Where there is light, Shadows lurk and fear reigns.”
“Yet by the blade of knights, mankind was given hope.”

It’s been a grueling 7 year wait, but it’s finally over. Tamashii Nations has at last delivered on a promise to revitalize the Garo line of S.H. Figuarts. Kicking things off with a brand new take on the iconic Golden Knight, the greatest Makai Knight is reborn as S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Garo!

Garo has been lavishly recreated to the most minute detail for the first time in the franchise’s 13 year history. The Golden Knight is recreated in near perfect 1/12 scale form, replete with chrome golden armor, armed with the mighty Garoken and it’s scabbard, this figure is the perfect starting point for a new Garo collection. With this figure out now, and his ally the Fanged Knight Zero due in November, could this finally be the Renaissance of Garo for S.H. Figuarts? I certainly hope so!

We’ve attached the full 90 image gallery to this post, but you can also read up on our extensive review of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. This figure has been a long time in the making, and we took this opportunity to document as many of it’s details as possible. We hope you enjoy this extensive gallery, we’ll be back soon with more from Kamen Rider Build & Kamen Rider W!

The start of Kamen Rider Zi-O is right around the corner, and the new Rider Kicks Figure has many collectors excited. Thanks to some magazine scans, we have our first look at the Rider Kicks Figure Build Armor Time.

On its own, the RKS Armor Time Build doesn’t look like he has much going for it aside from some very limited elbow and knee joints. Other than that,  it appears to be a hollow shell that you then attach to either Kamen Rider Zi-O or Geiz akin to the Level 1 forms from Ex-Aid’s gimmick line. 

None the less, you can look forward to seeing this dropping in September, retailing for 1944 yen.
