In case you missed it, Bandai’s Super Minipla line was gearing up to release the big carrier Zord himself: Super Minipla King Brachion/Titanus . We finally have our first look at the fully completed prototype with photos and release info coming straight from the All Japan Model Hobby Show.

While we don’t have any photos of the combined Ultra Zord mode, we do have an idea of when Bandai plans to release this bad boy: pre-orders for this model kit will begin in October and will ship sometime in January 2018. The cost of all this plastic? A whopping 12,960 yen before any shipping fees.

Out of left field today comes scans of an upcoming Kamen Rider S.I.C. release – Kamen Rider Zangetsu Jimber Melon Arms! This is more of a “What if?” form, as it was never shown in the Kamen Rider Gaim show nor has this form ever been released at any other time. Basically – what if Kamen Rider Zangetsu got a Genesis Driver core and used his Melon Energy Lockseed along with his Melon Lockseed?

Kamen Rider Zangetsu Jimber Melon Arms is what you’d get! Pre-orders open tomorrow as this is a Premium Bandai release. Get in touch with your middle man today!

The latest round of magazine scans for Uchu Sentai KyuRanger has been posted online!

*The main attraction this month is the ORION BATTLER! With his new power-up form, Lucky obtains access to 2 new Mecha- the Orion Voyager and the Battle Orion Ship. These two combine to form Orion Battler, the strongest Mecha yet revealed!

*By working in unison with KyuRenOh, RyuTeiOh and Gigant HoOh the Battle Orion Ship takes on a new configuration known as Orion Bazooka that can destroy any Jark Matter warrior it targets.

*The new powers of Shishi Red Orion will quickly overwhelm the Vice Shoguns but Don Armage’s mysterious powers make sure their battles will continue.

*Last but certainly not least, Oushi Black will take center stage in the coming episodes to explore the connection between Champ’s creator and Jark Matter. Along the way, the KyuRangers will encounter a mysterious new entity known only as Cow-Type Military Weapon Number Zero– a prototype version of Champ built for evil purposes!

Best Match!

We’re currently only 4 episodes into Kamen Rider Build and we’ve already gotten a tease of the upcoming figure of his base form, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Form! Interestingly enough, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid was also revealed just after that series’ 4th episode last year. Though Build actually premiered earlier in the year than Ex-Aid.

Currently we have no release date information or pricing for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build, but now that this image is circulating it will only be a matter of time! Thanks to the fine folks at @SHFindo for originally posting it.

A few early scans detailing the upcoming adventures of Kamen Rider Build have been posted online!

*Centerpiece of these new scans is the villainous BloodStark: a cobra-based creature who sets out to challenge Build in unexpected ways. The exact relationship between BloodStark & previously-established villain NightRogue remains unclear so far, but both seem to have similar powers & goals.

*To fight back against this new opponent, Sento develops a new device: the ClawsDragon! Intended to be used with the DRAGON FullBottle; Sento has a very specific user in mind for both…

Definitely some exciting adventures ahead! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider Build details!

COUNT THE MEDALS!

Bandai’s finally gearing up to release one of its S.I.C Hero Saga designs to the public, with new images for that awesome S.I.C Hexa OOO(Formally known as Boss) and pricing having just been released. The figure seems to have been given a number of revisions, as he looks mighty different since the last we saw him.

S.I.C Hexa OOO will see release as a Hyper Hobby Online Shop limited item. Pre-Orders will begin September 25th and will run until November 13th, 2017 with a final release date of May 2018. Hexa OOO will run you 9,180 yen before shipping and middleman fees.

For those of you who may be wondering just who the heck Hexa OOO is; he was created specifically for the Kamen Rider OOO portion of S.I.C Hero Saga, and only existed as a custom piece till now, he was created from Greeds using Core Medals representing Shocker, Gel Shocker, Destron GOD, and Garanda Empire. It isn’t uncommon for S.I.C Hero Saga exclusives to see the light of day; last time we saw a Hero Saga exclusive character getting released was Kamen Rider Garren King Form back in 2015.
