It’s been a long time coming but it looks like Kamen Rider Drives’ final form has finally been teased for release! Shown off previously at Tamashii Nations 2015, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron has just been teased in a series of images with S.H. Figuarts Gold Drive!

Along with this figure a single teaser image for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero Drive is also included. This form debuted in Ghost & Drive Super Movie War Genesis and represents a pre-Type Speed version of Drive.

Neither figure has confirmed release details at this point, but we’re expecting much more information to become available at the Tamashii Features event this weekend, May 21st & 22nd!

If you’re involved in social media at all then over the last few days you’ve probably seen some of your former Power Rangers alumni tweeting out cryptic messages and videos about something called “The Order“. So what is The Order? Honestly – we don’t know, and those who do aren’t speaking about it!

But we have received three cryptic messages – an image of two people standing together with the message “Legends aren’t born, they’re forged”. The second, a quick video (shown below) of people suited up rushing out of a vehicle with the message, “Do we have your attention yet?”

And then today, the following message “Wait for it” with the date 05-19-2016 revealed. That video is also below.

So who do we know is involved? It’s a pretty extensive list. The following list are former (and one current) Power Rangers actors that have either changed their social media to the image in this news story or have been re-tweeting or sharing the videos on Instagram and Facebook.

  • Austin St. John
  • Johnny Yong Bosh
  • Karan Ashley
  • David Yost
  • Steve Cardenas
  • Catherine Sutherland
  • David Fielding
  • Paul Schrier
  • Nakia Burise
  • Blake Foster
  • Hilary Shephard
  • Jason Faunt
  • Erin Cahill
  • Dan Southworth
  • Deborah Phillips
  • Azim Rizk
  • Yoshi Sudarso

Are you looking forward to the reveal of what The Order is? Join in the speculation in our discussion thread! We’ll have the answer (we believe) on May 19th.

In a move surprising many, Bandai has jut revealed official release details for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gold Drive! Most surprising of all? He’s going to be a retail release!

Gold Drive is a pretty straightforward repaint of Drive Type Speed with the Proto-Drive Tire.  As such he’ll almost definitely be a good figure if you have any experience with that mold at this point. Gold Drive includes 4 sets of hands and one replacement part for the Banno Driver to replicate Banno’s face readout.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gold Drive will be released at retail in September for 5940 yen.

They’re finally here, the official reveal of the 2017 Power Rangers Movie suit designs!

Entertainment Weekly has the exclusive reveal and wow, what a reveal it is! The Red, Blue, Yellow, Black, & Pink Rangers are finally here and they’re quite a departure from what we traditionally see in Super Sentai & Power Rangers. EW had this to say about the suits makeup:

“Ours is an alien costume that grows on them, that’s not man-made. You can’t win everyone over, but we are trying to appeal to a more mature audience and gain new fans.” Fans like the Yellow Ranger herself. “It’s the coolest costume ever,” Becky G says. “I’m gonna wear it for Halloween for, like, five years.” 

While opinions will definitely differ greatly, these suits will be a hot topic of discussion.So tell us, what do you think about the reveal? Do the suits hue close enough to the original TV costumes for your liking? Are they too different to be relatable? Sound off in the comments!
