This bundle gets you this new unique version of the Laser Blade, new more ornamental display bases that differ from the original release, and the DVD/Blu-Rays of the Space Squad film and the Girls In Trouble Special!

Emergency, Dekaranger!

With Tamashii Nations 2016 this upcoming weekend we hope to see many reveals, both expected and unexpected. Those reveals used to include Super Sentai figuarts but sadly that line has been shelved, for now. But it gives us pause to go back and on occasion reexamine some of our favorite releases as well. So today we’re featuring a brand new Gallery 2.0 Re-do with S.H. Figuarts Deka Red!

Dekaranger has always been one of my personal favorite Sentai. So seeing the characters done in figuarts styling was like a dream come true. Sadly not a fully realized dream, but the releases we did get are still fantastic and that’s what encouraged me to finally do this reshoot of Deka Red. The Dekaranger body type has an impressive range that still holds up to new figures. But the accessory count here is perhaps the best thing about this figure. SP License, both Magnums, multiple hands, even the ludicrous power of the Akibrangers the Dekawoppa!? These were the glory days.

We’ve attached a selection to this post but you can enjoy the complete 80 image Gallery 2.0 of S.H. Figuarts Deka Red after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

The biggest Tamashii event of the year, Tamashii Nations 2016 is happening this weekend from 10/28-10/30. As is always the case we can expect quite a number of new reveals, and perhaps a good number of those reveals to never see the light of day again.

However, according to the event site, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid will be fully revealed during what’s being dubbed the “Tamashii Hour” by the event staff. A very small and brief teaser can be found for this figuart on the site itself.

This exciting development is likely not the only one to come out of this weekend. As more information and photos from the event begin to circulate we’ll keep you up to date every step of the way!

A new round of magazine scans has come online, giving us a look at the future adventures of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!

This month is all about the new Rider Forms- LEVEL 3! By inserting a second Gashat into the GamerDriver, the Riders can unlock special powered armor to enhance their combat skills even more.

*The enigmatic Kamen Rider Genm was the first to demonstrate his LVL3 form, using the Shakariki Sports Gashat to unlock his Sports Action Gamer LVL3 configuration. These scans may at last reveal Gemn’s true identity!
*Ex-Aid gains the Gekitotsu Robots Gashat and becomes Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Robots Action Gamer LVL3.
*Brave obtains the DoReMiFa Beat Gashat so he can transform into Kamen Rider Brave Beat Quest Gamer LVL3
*Lazer sheds his vehicular configuration with the Girigiri Chanbara Gashat to become a stand-alone rider, Kamen Rider Lazer Chanbara Bike Gamer LVL3.
*Snipe finds the Jet Combat Gashat and uses it change into Kamen Rider Snipe Jet Combat Gamer LVL3.

Last but certainly not least, we have some images from the upcoming Kamen Rider Heisei Generations teamup film!

*Kamen Rider Ghost receives the Ex-Aid Eyecon to transform into Kamen Rider Ghost Ex-Aid Damashii!
*The ultimate villain of this exiting crossover, Dr. Pac-Man is finally revealed! He has a unique army of Bugster soldiers to fulfill his desires.

Definitely some thrilling adventures ahead for this Rider series! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Ex-Aid news!
