With every twist and turn, Kamen Rider Build continues to earn it’s place as one of the great series the Kamen Rider franchise has produced. One of the most interesting things about the series has become it’s main antagonist, Evolt. Now, Kamen Rider Evol. As he continues to possess other people and gain new forms, episode 36 finally gave us a glimpse in silhouette of what is to be his ultimate evolution.

Today, we finally have our first look at the physical suit for this final form, Kamen Rider Evol Black Hole! This form has been previously glimpsed only in toy catalog scans back in February These new images come courtesy of @TokuParadox on twitter. Primarily a reuse of the his standard Evol Cobra Form, Black Hole swaps the torso’s primary colors for black & white and features the addition of the Evol Trigger to the Evol Driver. How soon could we see this ultimate evil realized? Likely just in time for Sento to finally gain his Genius form to stop him!

The newest event on Tamahii Nations toy show circuit, Tamashii Comic-Con, is currently happening this weekend. While the show seems primarily geared towards some more mainstream non-toku properties like Stars Wars, Marvel, DC, and even the newly announced Harry Potter license, there are going to be a handful of new and upcoming releases relevant to us as well.

First up, Bandai Tamashii Nations has on display the 2nd release in their Pacific Rim Soul of Chogokin line, Crimson Typhoon! You may recall, we saw this figure first back at Toy Fair 2018. This is our first solid look at it since then, and it looks absolutely incredible. These new images come courtesy of Amiami Hobby News, and while the placard seen in them doesn’t confirm any release information, we can only assume that such info will drop in the near future.

We’ll keep you up to date with any other new reveals or upcoming releases that are at Tamashii Comic-Con through out the weekend.

With images released at the same time as Gamera (1999), we also have our first set of official images for S.I.C. Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha from the Tamashii Pickup webpage!

Revealed for the first time last week, S.I.C. Amazon Alpha joins the long legacy of the S.I.C. toyline and even calls back to the original basis for the Amazon Alpha design. Originally based on a S.I.C. figure itself, the Pre-Amazon S.I.C. Hero Saga figure, this new figure captures the wild spirit and ferocity of Takeyama Jin.

S.I.C. Amazon Alpha will be released in October 2018, as a retail release, for 8640 yen.

Although the S.H. MonsterArts line has remained a strictly Godzilla-affair for sometime now, it looks like everyone’s favourite child-friendly turtle will be joining the line once again with the announcement of S.H. MonsterArts Gamera [1999]!

Based on the monster’s appearance from the third film in the Heisei Gamera trilogy, Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris, Gamera [1999] is a remould of the original MonsterArts Gamera figure featuring a new spiked shell to match the movie suit. The magazine images confirm that the alternate flight parts from the previous release will be carried over, together with a brand new alternate translucent orange right arm – recreating the final scenes of the movie where Gamera defeats Iris with a fiery plasma fist.

S.H. MonsterArts Gamera [1999] will be a mass release item released in October 2018 for the price of 10800 yen. Be sure to check out the full-sized image and let us know your thoughts after the jump!

“X, united!”

Seen only yesterday for the first time, Tamashii Nations has today released a full set of official images for S.H. Figuarts Ultraman X!

X has been a long demanded figure by fans, and it looks like Tamashii is pulling out all the stops to please them. A strikingly good likeness to the show suit, Ultraman X goes the extra mile by including actual usable Cyber Gomora Armor! This marks to return of full form changing gimmicks to the S.H. FIguarts line after a long hiatus and is indeed welcome to see.

A centerpiece of the Saban Brands display at this weeks’ Las Vegas Licensing Expo is the very first teaser trailer for the new series Power Rangers Beast Morphers!

The annual Licensing Expo trade show is currently underway in Las Vegas, Nevada and Saban Brands has turned out for one last hurrah!

Centerpiece to the Saban display are the heroes of Power Rangers Beast Morphers! This setup features the Red, Blue and Yellow Beast Morpher suits along with some basic line art for the series’ Megazord (official name not yet confirmed at time of writing).

Perhaps the most interesting bit on display is artwork featuring the Beast Morphers’ supporting cast- the Beast Bots– who will assist this team of Power Rangers. Each Ranger will have their own Beast Bot partner- Red Jaguar, Blue Gorilla & Yellow Rabbit.

This should finally ease some fan concerns on adapting certain elements from Beast Morphers’ source material, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.

Currently, Power Rangers Beast Morphers is set to air on Nickelodeon in 2019 but no further details are available just yet. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new Power Rangers series!

Bandai teased that an S.H.Figuarts Ultraman X was finally coming our way. Not long after that teaser, we finally have our first look at this figure in the recent batch of magazine scans that are making the rounds online.

S.H.Figuarts Ultraman X is set to be released in October 2018 with a price tag of 7,560 yen. For those of you whom may be unfamiliar with the character: Ultraman X has the power to create weapons and armor based on monsters or past Ultramen, and it looks as though this gimmick will be well represented in the figure itself! S.H.Figuarts Ultraman X will include parts that will allow you to swap off into his Cyber Gomora armor form.

There doesn’t seem to be a P-Bandai banner on this page, so at the moment it appears that he will be a mass retail release. Only time will tell if Bandai plans on releasing the other armor forms in the future and in what capacity.
