We’ve seen both on display recently at the Tamashii Nations Akiba showroom as well as the Tamashii Nations World Tour. Now both of these new figures are slated for actual release! Thanks to a handful of new magazine scans we can confirm both.

S.H. Figuarts kamen Rider Drive Type Special, Drives unique movie from from Surprise Future, is set for release in November. Type Special will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive and retail for 6264 yen.

S.H. Figuarts Dada or as he was originally known Agent #271, is an infamously weird villain from the original Ultraman TV series. While not as prolific as Baltan this Kaiju is definitely looking good as Bandai continues their productive line of Kaiju figuarts. Dada will be released in November for 7344 yen.

“Crush the Invader!”

It’s been some time since we’ve stepped back into the world of the dead, so it’s time to pay another visit to Kamen Rider Ghost. I’ve made my thoughts on this line known previously, so I was very hesitant to return to it again. But I’m giving it just one more go with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Necrom!

Necrom completes the trio of riders from the series, so in at least that regard he’s satisfying. But many of the design flaws which plagued the first several releases of this line are still present. Shoulder designs, wrist cuffs, an obtrusive overcoat. That being said, Necrom does look rather good and I do so love seeing full groups of riders together. Though there is a severe lack of accessories with this figure. You can see it all in my full review linked below.

Following up from yesterday’s trademark announcement, we now have a VERY early look at the 19th Heisei-Era Kamen Rider series- Kamen Rider Build!

Seen in silhouette on this catalog cover, Kamen Rider Build’s design features a heavy gear emblem on the chest- which may support the current rumor of a Construction-themed series.

We also have an apparent glimpse of the collectable gimmick for this series: a set of bottle-shaped devices tentatively referred to as Kamen Rider Capsules. However, exact details are unconfirmed at time of writing.

These newly-revealed Kamen Rider Build toys will be available beginning August 2017! Be sure to stop by our Ongoing Kamen Rider Build Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears about this upcoming series!

With Kamen Rider Ex-Aid beginning to wind down, the rumor mill’s begun churning for 2018’s installment of Kamen Rider, and thanks to @trademark_bot via Twitter, we now know that Toei’s filed a trademark for a show called Kamen Rider Build!

In the past, Trademark bot was responsible for announcing shows like Zyuohger, Ex-Aid, and Orb so it stands to reason that there’s some legitimacy to this name. And as the name suggest, we might be heading into some sort of construction or heavy machinery theme for next year’s show. Toei has yet to make an official statement on this, so until we hear from them take this posting with an ingestion of salt and stay tuned to Tokunation! We’ll provide more up to date info as it’s made available.

A new form for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has been revealed thanks to a press conference for the upcoming summer movie Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: TRUE ENDING!

This is Ex-Aid VRX Creator Gamer! By using the power of Virtual Reality (which is apparently integral to the films’ plot), Ex-Aid can create all-new weapons and attacks. Gaming fans may recognize the Playstation VR used to create this new form, appearing thanks to a special agreement with SONY.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: TRUE ENDING will be released on August 5, 2017! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider news!
