“You used me, you brought shame on my sister, you used Krim’s inventions for Evil! But, worse than any of that, you…..
you killed my friend!!“

The rage and conviction of Machs’ loss is embodied in this final last ditch form used to defeat his father, Gold Drive. Though a last minute addition to the series, Kamen Rider Chaser Mach manages to debut in one of the most heartbreaking and powerful scenes in Kamen Rider Drive.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser Mach is pretty much like it’s show counterpart. A combination of various parts from the two figures that preceded it, Chaser & Mach. But surprisingly it doesn’t feel tired or boring even if I’ve technicality handled this figure several times before. Chaser Mach seamlessly integrates the components of these two riders into one fantastic form that feels just right. Throw in a cople signature weapons like the Zenrin Shooter & Signal Ax and you’ve one pretty darn solid release. Now if only S.H. Figuarts Gold Drive were out already, this gallery needs a deadbeat dad….

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but please enjoy 75 images after the jump by clicking “discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with several more galleries!

under General Tokusatsu News

A few years ago, Kickback, Den-O, and Sentai Tamashii/Soulink decided to create a podcast centered around tokusatsu. It was originally called “Talkin Toku at the Nation“, and then shortened at some point for reasons that escape us to “Talkin Toku“. But – life happens, and Kickback and Den-O were blessed with the ability to start their own families, and the time just wasn’t there anymore to consistently release professional podcasts in a timely manner. The final episode was released in February, and all archives went dark in March of this year.

However – you can’t always keep a nerd quiet, and the urge to continue to talk about these things was too great. Thus, a new joint project between Kickback of TokuNation.com and Jmann of CollectionDX.com has resulted in the revival of Talkin Toku. Check out the announcement video below.

The planned launch episode will release the first week of September. Contributors to the show include Kickback, Den-O, Sentai Tamashii/Soulink of TokuNation.com, Jmann of CollectionDX.com, Trekkieb47 and HollywoodZ from the Ranger Command Power Hour podcast, Dan Pearce from Dan’s Toku Rants, The Ranger Talk, baltmatrix, Vangelus, Shukuen Shinobi, and ZeronXepher.

Please check out the official Talkin Toku YouTube channel and subscribe! You don’t want to miss some of the stuff we have planned!

Talkin Toku is now an independent enterprise created by and operated by Kickback and Jmann. Videos shown on this website, or any website, are simply for promotional purposes to help spread the word. To contact Talkin Toku, please visit the official Facebook page or the official @TalkinToku Twitter page. You can also E-mail us at talkintoku (at) gmail (dot) com.
