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 Frozen Passion! Grease Blizzard! Chill Chill Chill Chill!
Kamen Rider Build may now be over but Bandai Tamashii Nations clearly still have plenty of plans for the series, as is evident with the reveal that an S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Grease Blizzard is in the works! The final form of Kazumi Sawatari is currently under development, with the only information available at this time being a 3D mock up which also highlights some of the form’s more significant features.
Stay tuned to Tokunation for more information on S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Grease Blizzard as it arrives!
Fan-favorite series Kamen Rider Build wraps up its run today but Toei is not ready to say goodbye to these characters just yet!
Televi-Kun has released a trailer for a new Super Battle DVD release featuring everyone’s favorite midnight crocodile, Kamen Rider Rogue!
In this new adventure, Rogue receives a new upgrade- trading the Sclash Driver for a Build Driver to become Kamen Rider Prime Rogue.
This Super Battle is coming to DVD on October 5 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider reveals!
“Wake-Up Cross-Z Dragon!”
Kamen Rider Build’s finale ended mere minutes ago, and already Toei has announced a pair of follow ups to the series, the first of witch being Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z! This new V-Cinema will focus on Ryuga Banjou in the aftermath of the series and will also introduce a brand new bottle at his disposal, the DX Muscle Galaxy Full Bottle! See the teaser below!
The Blu-Ray DVD combo of this film comes packed with the DX Muscle Galaxy Full Bottle, a theme song CD, and will retail for 11,880 yen. There will also be a limited theatrical screening of this film in early 2019. The physical release will be out in April 2019.
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.
“Demonic Fusion unleashed!”
The monster who tried to destroyed Geed’s universe among so many others, has returned. Ripping new life from his puppet Kei Fukuide, and mastering the Dark Lugiel & Alien Empera Capsules, Belial is reborn. With a new twisted form, born in darkness, strong enough to take on Royal Megamaster, S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Belial Atrocious is here!
Belial Atrocious is the first new Tamashii Nations collector style figure that this character has received in 7 years. Before Ultramam Geed began we took an in depth look at his Belial’s original Ultra-Act release from way back in 2010. Flash forward nearly a year from our gallery, and it’s good to see that dear old dad has indeed gotten a new figure. Monstrously detailed, and armed with the ever menacing Giga Battle Nizer, is this Belial’s return to glory? Read the review to find out!
We’ve attached the full 50 image gallery to this post, but you can check out the full review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post as well. Next time, we’ll be back with our in depth look at the long awaited Shinkocchou Seihou Garo!
