Signal Bike! Rider! Chaser!

Everyone’s favorite hero turned villain turned hero again has finally joined the S.H. Figuarts line! It’s been a long time coming but the rider with the tightest pants, the sweetest ride, and the ax that looks both ways before crossing the road has arrived! Today we take a look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser!

Chaser is final rider needed to complete the basic Drive trifecta. As one of the last few remaining scheduled releases for Drive, he’s absolutely one of the best. Chaser is a sleek back to basics design that goes for a more symmetrical look any of the Drive riders. Included with him is his packaged separately headcrest, 2 sets of hands, his Signal Ax, and an effect part for it to replicate the “stop” & “go” of his Full Throttle Across Breaker attack. After handling him for this gallery it’s safe to say that Chaser is an absolutely solid release that will look fantastic in your Drive display. It’s one of the best figures released in this sub-line.

We’ve attached a selection to this post but more than 65 images are present in the full gallery. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see them as well as a full review. And catch up on all of our previous Kamen Rider Drive S.H. Figuarts galleries below:

After a few months of grainy scans and guesswork, we have our first good look at DX Wild Zyuoh King! This image was first circulated by @TokusatsuPapa on twitter.

As we can see from this latest image, Wild Zyuoh King incorporates every cube revealed thus far including recent reveals like Mogura & Kuma. The only absence is the yet unseen Cube Rhino. The combination seems to be taking a few pointers from the ToQger playbook with the leg extensions and side mounts, but the arms go in an entirely different direction. We aren’t sure yet if this mech skipped leg day or arms, but it certainly looks interesting!

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book series by BOOM! Studios is so successful that they’ve chosen to release a limited series focusing on just one single Power Ranger … and that’s been announced before Issue #1 has even released yet!

According to the LA Times in an exclusive article, BOOM! Studios and Saban Brands have partnered to release a six issue limited series featuring none other than the original Pink Ranger titled “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink“. This limited series will focus squarely on Kimberly Hart, also known as the Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger. With the recent success of both Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue #0, as well as more female-central comic books like Squirrel Girl, Thor, Jem and the Holograms, and Spider Gwen it comes as no surprise to see a female-centered comic book release.

Your creative team behind the book is none other than Brenden Fletcher (Batgirl, Gotham Academy, Black Canaray) and Kelly Thompson (Jem and the Holograms, Captain Marvel and the Carol Corps) as writers, and the art duties will be belong to Daniele Di Nicuolo (Mirror’s Edge: Exordium).

The comic is slated to release in May 2016 and continue on for five additional issues. What do you think? Will you be picking it up? Also – no details on variant covers just yet, but if we were to make a wager, we’d say it’s a safe bet to plan on dropping some change to pick up more than a single cover.
