RIDER…HENSHIN!

First revealed at the Tamashii Nations 2017 event last month, Bandai Tamashiis official release page for the Shinkocchou Seihou subline was just updated with new photos and release info for S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider 2.

Kamen Rider 2 was teased for a May release window as a general mass retail release a little while ago, the date was confirmed by that very web page. No word was given on price, but considering that the figure shares the same body as Kamen Rider 1 we can expect a similar 6,480 yen price point. Stay tuned, and we’ll bring you more up to date info along with any more pictures that get released.

“My dear doctors, our game has only just begun.”

Toku Toy Box takes a look at the Game Master once again! After Level X last time, now we have the opportunity to checkout Kuroto Dan’s excellent, and recently release Level 2 form with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider GenM Action Gamer Level 2! And since this is the Tamashii Nations 2017 event exclusive version of the figure, we also get to share a look at the fantastic Shakariki Sports bike included with this release!

GenM Level 2 is a straight up repaint of the still fantastic Ex-Aid body type, done up in GenM’s gorgeous trademark purple and black. Separating itself from the Ex-Aid release though, GenM includes parts to recreate both versions of his handheld weapon the Gashacon Bug Visor. And since this is the event exclusive, this version also comes with a wonderfully detailed and excellently done Shakariki Sports bike with its own wheel base for display. If you’re waiting it out to get the Web Exclusive release of this figure next year, you may regret it as it won’t include the bike.

We’ve attached the full 99 image gallery to this post, but you can see all the images as well as read our comprehensive review of this figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a blast from the past with a brand new gallery from Ultra Seven!

With the weight of declining retail sales this holiday season, reports are coming out from Bloomberg that Toys’R’Us, the only remaining national toy store, is considering closing up to 200 of its retail stores after the holiday season.

Toys’R’Us filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection in September as it was unable to pay the millions of dollars of debt that was coming due. However, due to its inability to pay toy manufacturers for the product on its shelves – specifically Hasbro and Mattel – the toy shopping season has dropped upwards of 15% compared to last year.

The exact number of potential store closings is only speculation, but the report from Bloomberg states from insiders that the company is projecting at least 100 stores and up to 200 stores total. This report comes on the heels of another report that stated Toys’R’Us won the ability in court to make sure their executives were paid $15 million dollars in bonuses for the 2017 fiscal year.

Our thoughts go out to the hard working employees who could be impacted by store closings. As to what could happen to upcoming Power Rangers Legacy items, which are exclusive to Toys’R’Us, is currently up in the air. We’ll keep you updated.

GET IN GEAR!

The good people at Shout! Factory have opened a page revealing release details for Power Rangers RPM: The Complete Series!

This five-disc set containing all 32 episodes of the fan-favorite season is currently scheduled for release on March 27, 2018 at a very modest price point of $16.97 USD.

However, this release is slightly bittersweet- RPM is the LAST Power Rangers season covered by Shout! Factory’s current licensing agreement, so this will be the final Complete Series from Shout! to hit stores.

“We’ll clear this with perfect co-op play!”

Toku Toy Box is bringing it back again with another new gallery from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!  When Emu Hojo managed to create the Mighty Brothers XX Gashat no one was more surprised than him about what came next. Two riders from one person! One half cool and collected Emu, one half Genius Gamer M (or rather Parad), the Mighty Brothers were an incredible tag team that took on Kuroto Dan when no one else could. Now they take him on in toy form with the release of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Double Action Gamer Level XX LR Set!

The Mighty Brothers are of course bringing back that excellent Ex-Aid/Mighty Action body type. We’ve seen it a few times and it’s always excellent. Each Brother is the perfect compliment to one another. The perfect foil to a Dangerous Zombie in your display, both are armed with Gashacon Key Slashers, multiple sets of hands, and a swap out part to recreate their signature pose. This set has all the charm, charisma, and slick colors to make the perfect addition to your collection!

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery to this post but you can also check out our extensive review of the Mighty Brothers below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next time with another new Ex-Aid gallery!

Thanks to @_Erasu on Twitter for the find.

Thanks to @_Erasu on Twitter we have our first look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z! The secondary rider from Kamen Rider Build looks absolutely gorgeous in these first look images. No release information available as of this moment but we will update as soon as there is.

Proving once again why he’s become a character with incredible longevity and popularity among fans, Ultraman Belial returns to the collector market with his first new Tamashii Nations figure in over 6 years! Recently revealed at the Tamashii Nations 2017 event and now properly confirmed for release is S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Belial Atrocious! 

The last time we saw Belial it was in his Kaiser Belial form, in a toyline that no longer exists, Ultra-Act! Earlier this year we even took a look back at the original Ultra-Act Ultraman Belial. In the interim Ultra characters have officially been folded into S.H. Figuarts with several releases being the 2nd or 3rd outings for characters that already had Ultra-Acts. This time rather than re-doing Belial straight off the bat, Bandai have opted to give us his fantastic new form from Ultraman Geed with Atrocious. Could this signal new Belial & Kaiser Belial figures in the near future? Let’s hope so!

Belial Atrocious will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in June 2018 for 6480 yen. Be sure to get in touch with you preferred middleman or web exclusive service to secure an order for this figure.
