A new round of magazine scans has surfaced online, giving us some insight into the further adventures of the 39th Super Sentai Series!

*First up, we finally get to see StarNinger Chozetzu! Kinji will get a chance to use the super-armor & avenge his family!

*Two new Ninjas will be appearing in the future: Kikyo, a potential love interest for Takaharu, and her Master Iseki Rock– played by Ryoma Baba aka Blue Buster!

*The scans also depict Kyuemon breaking away from the Kibaoni and developing a secondary army!

A major element of Kyuemon’s backstory is revealed (or at least, hinted at) through these scans. We will keep spoilers off the front page out of respect for fans who wish to experience the story firsthand, but feel free to join in our Discussion Thread for these new scans if you wish to learn the whole story!

Searching, destroying, all done at mach speed! And this time Kamen Rider Mach has a little bit of help, today we’re taking a look at the recently released S.H. Figuarts Ride Macher! 

The Ride Macher is both the companion piece and sort of the successor to the Ride Chaser and these brother machines share a base in the Honda NM4. At their core the figures are quite similar as well. The Ride Macher trades out the Chaser’s dark theme for a bright futuristic look that definitely syncs up with Mach’s own racing motif. The Ride Macher also includes many more accessories than the Ride Chaser in the form of 2 new Advent Signals and their accompanying Signal Bikes; Tomarle & Kaksarn! As with the Chaser a 1st run bonus accessory is also included, the Funky Spike Effect! Sadly of course this bike can not form the mighty Ride Crosser with the Ride Chaser, unlike the DX’s they simply aren’t capable of it.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but check out our full discussion thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” in order to see the full 40+ images of the S.H. Figuarts Ride Macher & the Funky Spike Effect Bonus!

Last month, Premium  Bandai revealed the CSM Gatack and Hyper Zecters,  the pre order page has now finally been updated with brand new photo galleries for the pair.

What’s more is that the galleries gives a little insight as to the functionality of the toy: the CSM Gattack Zecter has the same working Clock Up pad from last year’s Kabuto Zecter.

Compression photos between the DX and CSM Hyper Zecters are made, and interestingly enough, the Hyper Zecter will work with both Kabuto and Gatack’s. Hyper Gatack is a form that only appeared once in the Kamen Rider Kabuto Hyper Battle Video

The Hyper Zecter will be priced at 5940 yen while Gatack’s will cost 12960 yen. Both Zecters will ship sometime in February 2016.

Another recent reveal from this week, Bandai has just released official images of the S.H. Figuarts Beat Chaser 2000 from Kamen Rider Kuuga!

While the Beat Chaser 2000 may only include the bare minimum of accessories, as most Rider Machines do, it still does it looking absolutely amazing. Beat Chaser includes a rear wheel base for display, a tamashii stage adapter, and handlebar hands for S.H. Figuarts Kuuga Mighty Form to use.

After Thursday nights’ reveal, Bandai has just put up official images and release info for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser!

As the initial scans indicated Kamen Rider Chaser is a gorgeous figure with a beautiful metallic finish. For accessories Chaser includes 2 sets of additional hands as well as his Shingou Axe and the green & red light indicators for it. Sadly he does not however include a Break Gunner. Meaning you’ll need to borrow one from a Mashin Chaser figure.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser will be release as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in January for 5940 yen!
