Mix! Jimber Lemon/Melon/Cherry/Peach!

Following up on an excellent Zangetsu Shin Gallery by our fearless leader Kickback, it’s time for another dose of fruit rider action! Next up is S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Jimber Arms!

Kamen Rider Gaim’s first true upgraded form, Jimber Arms is a unique beast. Incorporating Gaim’s standard orange Lock Seed and an additional Energy Lock of choice gives him access to abilities in 4 unique forms. Jimber Lemon is the standard and the most often seen version of this power up. The Figuart actually includes all the alternate locks and breast plates you need to display him in Jimber Peach, Jimber Cherry, and even the never seen in show Jimber Melon! Also included are several pairs of hands and two versions of this forms trademark weapon (the weapon of choice for the Energy Riders as well) the Sonic Arrow! 

Needless to say but Kamen Rider Gaim Jimber Arms is a welcome addition to a growing collection of excellent figures. Be sure to click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to check out 50 images of this fantastic figure! We’ll back soon with yet another Gaim related gallery, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Baron!

Much like the reveal of S.H. Figuarts Marika and Suika Arms Baron last night the Tamashii Features twitter account has officially revealed S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Jam!

Jam, much like the other Gaim S.H. Figuarts releases, looks gorgeous. Sporting his Darkness Arms and wielding his Dark Daidaimaru Jam will be a pretty impressive addition to any Gaim collection. As one of a handful of Gaim riders with no Arms Change figure to fill the gap, this will be a must own for completionists like myself.

If you look to the right you can also see a tease of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Mars, which if you know Jam’s back story is no coincidence. Here’s to hopefully more official figure reveals before Tamashii Nations 2014 is over!

It is now November and that means that Power Rangers Dino Charge figures will be hitting Toys’R’Us shelves later this month, confirmed to us at NYCC 2014 by Bandai of America. With a full blown release maybe a month and a half away from all stores, the first images of figures are beginning to pilfer out.

Our good buddy raz managed to locate the first image of the Armored Might Red Ranger from the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge toy line. He found it via the Target system. You can check out the finding by clicking here.

Be sure to follow @razzle1337 on Twitter and check out his blog Razzle’s Dazzles to keep up with the rest of the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge toy news and toy hunting.

As Tamashii Nations 2014 continues we’re seeing more and more items that were on display earlier in the show but under a photo ban. Well no more for at least two figures. In a pair of images released by the Tamashii Features twitter account we have an official reveal of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Marika and S.H. Figuarts Suika Arms (Kamen Rider Baron Version)!

Both look absolutely stunning. These figures were present in the blurry image of the rather large and awesome Kamen Rider Gaim display we reported on Thursday. There are still quite a few figures reported to be in the same display actually like Jam, Mars, Kamuro, etc. As we get pics for more of them we’ll update you!

When the Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim Movie War Full Throttle film hits theaters there’s going to be a bonus for movie goers. When you purchase tickets for this film in Japan you’ll be given a free (while supplies last) Kamen Rider Drive Episode 0: Countdown to Global Freeze DVD Special!

This special, as the name implies, will take place before the series proper begins. The primary focus of this episode will be the day the Global Freeze happened and how that affected the world and characters we know. We’ll also see the initial Roidmudes that were subsequently destroyed by the other character spotlighted in this special, Kamen Rider Proto Drive! 

And the recently revealed Kamen Rider Drive Secret Mission: Hunter & Monster will be included with the January issue of Televi-Kun. This special focuses on a feud between the Massive Monster & Justice Hunter Shift cars while the phantom thief Ultimate Lupin is involved in a high profile kidnapping case! And if you are unable to obtain the Episode 0 DVD have no fear, the Type Televi-Kun Special includes it as well!

This “powered-up” or “final” form of the Kamen Rider Zangetsu character was the first of many (and we mean many) Tamashii Web Exclusives for the S.H. Figuarts line of figures from Kamen Rider Gaim and as you can tell by the pictures – it doesn’t disappoint!
