TK-05 Kamen Rider Drive Type Technic Gallery & Review – Toku Toy Box Entry!

Posted on December 15, 2014 at 1:00 pm by Den-O under Kamen Rider

Drive! Type Technic!

TokuNation has filled up with some high octane Kamen Rider Drive action for your viewing pleasure! Today we’re taking a looking at the 5th entry in the Tire Koukan toy line, the master of machines himself, TK-05 Kamen Rider Drive Type Technic!

Type Technic is a unique form. Rather than offering raw power to Drive it gives him highly technical skills like machine manipulation, increased dexterity, and near perfect accuracy. What the Tire Koukan figure of Technic gives us is another incredible addition to this growing line. Included with Technic are the standard Type Technic Tire you need to complete his basic look, the Fire Braver Tire, and Drive’s Door Gun! As far as complete packages go, Type Technic is yet another one in this line. This figure differs just a bit from previous Tire Koukan releases and we welcome you to read our review to find out how.

Or why not take a few minutes to check out a video review of TK-05 by my frequent collaborator Baltmatrix!

Check out the above video as well as 65 images of this great figure after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t forget to leave a comment in that thread as well, it’ll enter you into our massive Toku Toy Box Giveaway! Specifically this gallery thread enters you in for a chance to win our Top Gear Rider Legends Prize Pack! If you need a refresher on the rules and prize packs then check them out here, and good luck!

Lexington Comic & Toy Con Guest Updates, Zyurangers, Ultraman & Ivan Ooze!

Posted on December 14, 2014 at 9:26 pm by Den-O under Conventions, Other Conventions, Super Sentai, Ultraman

The Lexington Comic & Toy Con has been quickly gaining steam the last few years as one of the biggest and best east coast conventions for Power Rangers fans and actors. Well this year the show’s growing once again with a recent announcement of four brand new guests!

Yuta Mochizuki – Geki/Tyranno Ranger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger! This is notable as only the second US convention appearance that Yuta has made. The first having only been a few months ago at Power Morphicon!

Rekio Chiba – Mei/Ptera Ranger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger! The first EVER appearance by Ms Chiba at a US convention! If you know her at all then you know that Reiko Chiba has been incredibly active on Twitter (@CHIBAREI_DURGA) for a long time and interacts with fans regularly. In fact she had cryptically tweeted about this upcoming appearance a few weeks ago but saved the official reveal for the LCTC facebook page.

Bin Furuya – A veteran of several Toho film productions for many years, a suit actor on the original Ultra Q series and subsequently the suit actor of the Original Ultraman! Mr Furuya is a veteran of the highest order in the Tokusatsu world.

And last but not least, Paul Freeman – Ivan Ooze in the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie! Of course Mr Freeman is an actor with an incredibly lengthy resume of credits, but we know him best for his deliciously crazy portrayal of Ivan ooze.

Kamen Rider 3’s TriCyclone Revealed!

Posted on December 14, 2014 at 7:23 pm by Den-O under Kamen Rider

The upcoming Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3 will of course feature the first ever on screen appearance of the one-off Kamen Rider 3. A unique rider who only appeared once in a short 1972 story. However this film will also mark the first appearance of his vehicle, the TriCyclone!

The TriCyclone certainly appears to be an impressive machine worthy of going up against Kamen Rider Drive’s Tridoron and Black RXs Rideron, both of which will be in this film as well! Will Kamen Rider 3 ally himself with his car driving brothers or will he stand in line with the bike riders of old?

Discuss this reveal as well as the rest of our coverage of Super Hero Tasien GP in our ongoing discussion thread!

Super Hero Taisen GP: Rise of Kamen Rider 3!

Posted on December 13, 2014 at 10:33 pm by Paladin under Kamen Rider

With the premiere of Kamen Rider Drive X Kamen Rider Gaim: Movie War FULL THROTTLE in theaters this weekend, Toei has decided to reveal some new details about their next film project!

According to this article in Cinema Today, the next epic tokusatsu crossover film will be known as Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3! This new film will also be directed by Takayuki Shibisaki, veteran of several Rider projects including Movie War FULL THROTTLE.

The character of Kamen Rider 3 was created by Shotaro Ishinomori in 1972; the hero of a single manga adventure set between the end of the original Kamen Rider series and Kamen Rider V3.

What other heroes will make their appearance in this new project? Only time will tell!

Super Hero Taisen GP is scheduled for release on March 21, 2015! Be sure to join in our ongoing Discussion Thread and share your thoughts about this upcoming cinematic adventure!

The time is almost upon us for the secondary rider of Kamen Rider Drive to make his debut!

Set to appear in January episodes of the series is Kamen Rider Mach! We’ve previously reported information about the identity of this character, spoil yourself if you so choose, but for now enjoy this full image of Mach! As you can see Mach is themed around motorcycles and in fact has quite the Evel Knievel look to him, and manages to feature the classic rider scarf as well!

TKPB01 Kamen Rider Proto-Drive Official Images, Orders Open

Posted on December 12, 2014 at 11:48 am by Den-O under Kamen Rider

Type…. A mysterious new hero joins the Tire Koukan toy line from Kamen Rider Drive! The first of likely many Premium Bandai TK releases is now up for order, TKPB01 Kamen Rider Proto-Drive!

Proto-Drive is the rider still surrounded by mysteries in Drive. But many of them should be brought to light soon in the upcoming Kamen Rider Drive Episode 0 which will be given away to movie goers at the Drive X Gaim Full Throttle Movie. 

For now though Premium Bandai is wetting our appetite for this shadowy rider with a Tire Koukan release. Proto-Drive includes the Prototype Tire already attached, but as a bonus for this premium release he also exclusively includes the Dimension Cab Tire! Which has a magnet that allows to be attached to metal surfaces. No other weapons or accessory are included but we’ve yet to properly see Proto-Drive use weapons before anyway.

TKPB01 Proto-Drive is open for pre-order for 3780 yen, and will remain open through February with an actual release in May.

Kamen Rider Drive Tire Koukan TK-04 Tire Set 2 Gallery – Toku Toy Box Entry!

Posted on December 12, 2014 at 1:05 am by Den-O under Kamen Rider

Tire Koukan!

Ready to start your engine? TokuNation has that covered for you! We’re back with another look at Kamen Rider Drive! And this time we’re spotlighting the Tire Koukan TK-04 Tire Set 2 with a gallery!

Tire Set 2, much like Tire Set 1, is an accessory set of sorts for your other Tire Koukan figures. And just like the first set, this one includes three brand new tires! Spin Mixer being the most plain of the 3 doesn’t come with any accessories, nor should it. Much like Funky Spike it’s just a generic extra tire for the gimmick. However Mad Doctor includes the Cure Quicker defibrillator  device and looks pretty sharp on Drive Type Speed or Wild. But the real winner of this set is the 3rd and most awesome tire, Dream Vegas! Get ready to recreate scenes of an abnormally stretched out Kamen Rider with this one or recreate some classic fights with the included Drum Shields!

In any case we’ve attached a selection of images to this news post, but we’ve also assembled a full 40 image gallery after the jump for your viewing pleasure. But also don’t forget that this gallery qualifies you for our Toku Toy Box giveaway! Simply leave a comment in the discussion thread attached to this post and your name will be entered into the drawing for the Top Gear Rider Legends Prize Pack! Full official rules & details of Toku Toy Box posted here. Good luck!
