“Nice Drive!”
We’re back in the exciting world of Kamen Rider Drive with a brand new gallery of the series first foray into the S.I.C. toyline!
S.I.C. Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed is the shows first entry in this line, soon to be followed by Mashin Chaser and the recently confirmed Heart Roidmude. While I don’t typically pick up S.I.C.’s I could not resist seeing Takeyuki Takeya’s take on this Rider. After all, the famed designer created all of the Roidmudes that Drive and his allies faced in the series. This monstrous rendition of Drive is an impressive piece of design from this prolific creator. And as with most S.I.C.’s it’s positively loaded down with accessories! Such as the Handle Sword, Door Gun, The Max Flare Tire, and plenty of Shift Cars. This is a really all inclusive release that sets the bar pretty high for where this line goes from here.
We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view over 70 images of S.I.C. Kamen Rider Drive after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.
For those unfamiliar with the franchise: Super Robot Wars is Banpresto’s crossover series which traditionally combines characters and plot lines from various Mecha animes into one stratagey RPG video game, but it seems like the franchise is making it’s leap into the live action genre, with Super Sentai making it’s first debut into the game.
Super Robot Wars X-Omega is the franchise’s mobile game avalaible for devices running IOS and Android software , and Zyuranger’s Daizyujin will be avalaible for a limited time beginning in May as a special promotion character to tie in with the release of the Soul of Chogokin.
With the up coming release of the Complete Selection Modification New Den-O Belt, and this year being Kamen Rider Den-O’s 10th anniversary it was only a matter of time before Bandai announced the Complete Selection Modification Den-O Belt and K-Taros Phone.
At the moment, there’s little info to go on with this product so we don’t know if this will be an individual release or come packaged together in a set, nor do we know if this will be just a reissue of the previous Complete Selection Den-O Belt that came out prior or something new entirely. Though stay tuned, more info in this piece will be announced on 5/23.
“Let’s Game, Super Game, Ultra Game, what’s your name?!”
We’re back at long last with another gallery from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid! It’s been a while since we took a hard look at the initial release from Ex-Aid’s toyline, LVUR01 Ex-Aid, and Bandai has gone back to the drawing board to try and offer fans a better alternative to that figure. Have they managed to do so? Find out in our review of Premium Bandai’s release of Full Action Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Level 1!
Full Action Ex-Aid obviously has much more articulation than Bandai’s first outing, as the name would imply. This stumpy little fella manages to pull off poses that plenty of retail gimmick figures can’t. However at full retail, this figure also tops out near $60 USD before shipping. Ex-Aid Level 1 has tons of personality, but quite the lack of accessories as well. Only including the Gashacon Breaker Hammer Mode. Despite the improvements made, it does have it’s drawbacks as well. More of which you can read about in our full review below.
We’ve attached a selection to this post but you can view 50+ images of Full Action Ex-Aid Level 1 by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Later this week we return to the world of Kamen Rider Drive with a brand new gallery!
