Build Up!

In case you missed it, Tamashii Nations just announced that Kamen Rider Build in his Tank Rabbit form was coming to S.H.Figuarts with the promise that he’d be followed up by S.H.Figuarts Night Rouge.

Well, we didn’t have to wait long: in a rather quick turnaround, Tamashi Nations’ official Twitter account gave us our first look at this beautiful figure, along with our first in-person look at the aforementioned S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Tank Rabbit Form set up in an impressive diorama display. 

At the moment, S.H.Figuarts Night Rouge appears to be a display only piece no release info was given so at the moment we have no clue if he’ll even be hitting mass retail or not. Stay tuned, and we’ll bring you more info on this product as it becomes available.

UPDATE:

Not long after publishing this article, official images for Night Rouge appeared via Dengeki Hobby giving us a much clearer look at this exciting new figure!

We have sadly learned of the death of Ryuji Saikachi, iconic Japanese voice actor. He was 89 & passed on September 29 due to congestive heart failure.

Saikachi voiced a number of enemy characters in tokusatsu, including the very first opponent in Kamen Rider– the Spider Man (no relation).

Other memorable roles performed by Ryuji Saikachi include the Sickle Neck Turtle in Kamen Rider V3, the Medusa in Kamen Rider X, the Mole Beastman in Kamen Rider Amazon and the Scorpion Kikaijin in Kamen Rider Stronger.

Our thoughts are with Ryūji Saikachi’s friends and family in this difficult time.

Merry early Christmas everyone!

In Japan, it is customary for families to have a piece of cake during the Christmas season and it’s nearly that time of year again. P-Bandai just started their ordering service for Kamen Rider Build and Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger themed Holliday cakes.

While most of us overseas won’t be able to enjoy the cake itself, it is noteworthy to mention that this is the only way you’ll be able to get this year’s Christmas themed roleplay items: with a Christmas Kyutama and Christmas Full Bottle being included along with their respective cakes.

Each cake will also include an appropriately themed topper with featuring super deformed versions of Kamen Rider Build Tank Rabbit Form and ShishiRed Orion. Both cakes will set you back 4,104 yen each and will be released December 2017 in time for the Holidays.
