Bandai JP’s official YouTube channel has put up a brief preview for the upcoming Premium item –DX DarkLiner Robo as used by the Shadow Line in Ressha Sentai ToQGer.
This video demonstrates the DarkLiner’s transformation and alternate head configurations (to mimic the generic Robo appearance or General Schwarz’s personal Robo based on your preference).
DX DarkLiner Robo will be released by Premium Bandai in December and costs 12.960 Yen.
Rumors of the Super Sentai series after Ressha Sentai ToQger are beginning to surface, and it seems like a trademark for next year’s show has been filed.
The text to look for is 手裏剣戦隊ニンニンジャー which translates into English as Shuriken Sentai Ninninja.
That’s right, if this rumor holds true we’ll be getting a third show that will be running with a Ninja motif. Full disclosure: as this could be a faked image, please take this rumor with a grain of salt for now until more solid confirmation is given.
UPDATE:
Thanks to the Tokusatsunetwork the proper title has been revealed as Shuriken Sentai Nin’ninger
Amongst the blitzkrieg of Figuroh Magazine tonight, we have new information regarding the upcoming Complete Selection Modification DecaDriver with a few of the cards having been revealed. In the last update, it was revealed that a selection of Rider Cards will be sold seperately from the belt itself. This archive will contain every card used by Decade spanning his TV and film appearances, and a few of those cards have been revealed in these scans.
Of course, we have the card for Decade Violent Emotion, in addition to Attack Ride: Side Basher, Ongekibo Rekka, and every blank Rider cards seen earlier in the show’s run just to name a few. Not only that, but pressing a button located on the bottom of the belt plays the show’s BGMs Parallel World and Decade.
Both the belt and Rider cards will be releasing via Premium Bandai in February 2015 for 12,960 yen and 7,560 yen respectively. Buying them both and you’ll get the Final Attack Ride Diend, Kaijin Ride Eagle and Moose Undead cards.
Another set of magazine scans is still making the rounds tonight and we’ve got a couple of more figure confirmations.
First up is the next release in the Kikaider series of Figuarts. It’s Jiro’s brother Ichiro, S.H. Figuarts Kikaider 01! Kikaider 01 looks to be a pretty standard release much like the recently released Kikaider. Like his brother, Kikaider 01 will also be a Tamashii Web Exclusive set for April 2015 for 5184 yen.
Next up is an odd one that’s sure to please Kamen Rider Blade fans. The elusive and popular S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Blade is getting a reissue, with a twist! This Blade will be released as a battle damaged Broken Head Version! It will include a damaged helmet with a partially revealed face of our hero Kazuma Kenzaki! A Tamashii Web Exclusive S.H. Figuarts Blade Broken Version will be out in April 2015 for 4320 yen.
Teased a mere 2 days ago by Tamashii Nations, we have our very first true prototype image of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed!
Kamen Rider Drive appears to have some excellent sculpted details and a good range of motion we’ve come to expect from most figuarts. Of course there’s no confirmation on if the Tire Koukan gimmick will be replicated in some fashion for the Drive SHF line. But we;ll find our more about this figure as information becomes available. In any case S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed and many other recent reveals will all be on display at Tamashii Nations 2014 at the end of this month!
Long speculated by fans and finally confirmed, the next premium Shinkocchou Seihou style S.H. Figuarts release is a Kamen Rider Kuuga Renewal! Demanded by fans for a very long time Bandai is finally taking a second crack at Kamen Rider Kuuga.
With the original being one of the earliest S.H. Figuarts it really shows it’s age. While we’ve yet to confirm solid details on the accessories included, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Renewal will be released in April 2015 for 5400 yen. A rather steep price tag that’s in line with the two previous premium style releases Kabuto Renewal & Hibiki. Expect to see more images of this exciting new figure at the upcoming Tamashii Nations 2014 at the end of October!

Go!
TokuNation has at long last made it’s way back to the first Sentai. Well, the show that retroactively is known as the first. Himitsu Sentai Goranger! Though it was nearly 20 years after it’s debut that this series gained it’s Super Sentai status it’s unquestionable that the series began a long tradition of colorful spandex heroes helping some big eyed bug men save Japan. So it’s about time that Bandai got around to making S.H. Figuarts Akaranger!
What better way to celebrate this legend than with a gorgeous sculpt, paint job and wealth of accessories? S.H. Figuarts Akaranger is no slouch! He includes several sets of new hands, two versions of his iconic Red Bute rope weapon, the Silver Shot pistol, the Birdie flying rockets, and even a version of the Goranger Storm Ball! Though this figure is a bit on the large side it’s still a fantastic addition to any sentai collector’s display.
Check out our full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Akaranger after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.
Note that although the name on the box is spelled Akarenger, (official romanization) generally his name in English is accepted to be Akaranger, and Toei’s subsequent use of the actual word “Ranger” in many series and hero names would imply that should be the correct term in this instance. So for consistency we went with that.
The second form of Kamen Rider Drive has been revealed!
Thanks to a vinyl collectors’ figurine leaking out before the intended release date, we have our first look at Drive: Type Wild! This new armor is apparently built for heavy-duty combat, with the Tire moving to Drive’s shoulder instead of the chest.
The secert origins of Type Wild remain unknown at the time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider Drive news!
