“Cast Off.”

It’s been a while since we’ve taken a look at any older releases, but with Shinkocchou Seihou in full swing for Kamen Rider Kabuto, we thought it was time for a return. The next pair of releases due out in that line are the Hopper Bros, but perhaps it’s only a matter of time before the entire original line is redone in this premium style? In anticipation of that we’re going to knock out 3 classic releases today with this special triple gallery from Kabuto’s theatrical film God Speed Love. Today we look at the 3 riders of a future that never came to pass with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Riders Hercus, Ketaros, & Caucasus!

Hercus, Ketaros, & Caucasus are all in fact re[aints & remolds to varying degrees of the original Kamen Rider Kabuto mold. Long before Seihou ever made it obsolete, that mold got a lot of mileage. And these 3 movie exclusive riders may just be the best use of it. While each is undoubtedly pretty close to Kabuto’s standard design, they each offer a unique take on the beetle theme with suit colors we didn’t really see in the series proper. The real question though is, with the chance of Seihou’s to replace these in the next couple years, are they worth your time and money? Let’s find out!

We’ve put together a full 80 images of this trio of riders in our gallery & review thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see them all. We’ll be back soon with a brand new gallery from Kamen Rider Drive!

Kamen Rider Drive is certainly no stranger to the S.H. Figuarts toyline. Surprising once again, yet another new possible release could continue it’s unprecedented streak. Recently Kamen Rider Dark Drive was confirmed for release, so it’s only fitting that now we have our first look at the other rider exclusive to the Surprise Future movie.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Special was a no brainer to see after Dark Drive. Given how a majority of the parts are identical between the two it’s no surprise that this figure could see release soon. Kamen Rider Drive continues to outdo itself with repaints and remolds after all. While we don’t have any proper releases details for the figure yet, it’s inclusion at the Akiba Showroom would suggest that they are just around the corner. We’ll update you as more details become available.

It’s that time again for the annual Super Hero Time double feature movies, Toei’s just launched the official website for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and Kyuranger’s said movie and with that, we have our first teaser announcing the project.

Currently, no word was given on the story as of yet though thanks to the crew over at http://tokusatsunetwork.com[/url] we do have the tag lines given for both movies: “All stars, shine bright in the galaxy” for Kyuranger and “The Great doctors battle, tops to extreme” For Ex-Aid respectively.

The movies are due out for release August 5 in Japanese theaters. Stay tuned and we’ll bring more up to date info as it’s made available.

A pair of new Tamashi Web Exclusive releases have just gone live on the Tamashii Web Shop!

From Kamen Rider Drive we have S.I.C. Heart Roidmude. A companion piece tot he recently released S.I.C. Drive and the upcoming Mashin Chaser. This version of Heart is more directly inspired by Takayuki Takeya’s original design for the character, as  indicated by the heart ventrical wings on his back. Heart will be released in October as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 8856 yen.

Next up is an odd one. The S.H. Figuarts Helldiver is a companion piece for Kamen Rider ZX. A figuart released way back in 2013, numerous ZX’s had serious QC issues, not limited to but including poor paint applications, loose part fits, etc. It’s surprising to see his bike released nearly 4 years later, and unlike other recent Showa releases, there is currently no two-pack with a slightly altered ZX offered. For now, the Helldiver will also be released in October, for 5400 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive.

Ahead of the Lionsgate Power Rangers movie premiering in China on May 12th, a series of new posters have been released specifically catered to that market.  In place of the Zords, each of the Rangers is represented by animals of Chinese mythology(and a possible reference to the Thunder Zords) and those animals are as follows:

Red -Dragon

Blue-Qillin 

Black-Tortoise

Yellow-Tiger

Pink-Phoenix

In addition to this, Chinese Pop singer Dimash Kudaibergen will be performing a remix of the Power Rangers theme, you can have a listen to that track here:

You might be asking just how important the Chinese premier is to the success of the Power Rangers movie? The live-action Warcraft movie which came out last year only made $160 million domestically, but the Chinese market prevented it from being a total flop bringing in $220 million in that region. So while the Power Rangers movie may have had lackluster sales domestically, the film could make it’s money back with the Chinese premiere.
