Revealed earlier this week among several other new figures, the Tamashii Web Shop has updated with official images and pricing info for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Blade Broken Head Version!

This battle damaged reissue of Kamen Rider Blade seems to includes most of what the original release did aside from the Lightning Blast effect parts and the piece of rubble to place the Rouzer  in. It swaps the standard head for the “broken” version so there’s no undamaged helmet included either. What it does have are 3 & 1/2 sets of additional hands, the Blay Rouzer holster, the Blay Rouzer itself, the fanned out Rouze Card part, and the same Rouze card sticker set included with the first release.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Blade Broken Version will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in April 2015 for 4320 yen.

It’s time once again that we brought you a video review by our resident master of them, Baltmatrix! And this time Balt’s gotten his hands on the recently released TK-01 Tire Koukan Kamen Rider Drive! This initial entry in the new Tire Koukan gimmick line is a strong start but don’t just take my word for it, take his! Check out the video below for the first in a series of review/gallery team-ups between myself and Baltmatrix for Kamen Rider Drive.

Two of the three mystery lock seeds in the big Premium Bandai Showa Rider Lock Seed set have been revealed through magazine scans.

We’ve known about Shadow Moon now for some time, but this new one might come as an unexpected shock to a few folks with a Seed to represent Shocker’s Great Leader. What’s more, the magazine scan previews the inside artwork for both Lock Seeds.

It’s time at last for the finale of Kamen Rider Den-O with Let’s Watch Wednesdays! It’s been a long journey but we’re finally here. Admittedly this week is more optional than anything, the story proper was wrapped up with Final Countdown, but a few new mysteries abound…

Picking up just after a brief crossover in Kamen Rider Decade, Onigashima Warship sees a small army of Oni transported from the past to the year 1980. Here they seek the key to the Onigashima Warship, literally their last trump card. With the young boy Yu and a little help from Kamen Rider Decade, can the Den-Liner crew repair the past and fix the de-aged Ryutaro or return the vanished Yuuto? A passing through rider or two, plenty of body snatching, and form changes abound!

And the finale, the Cho Den-O Trilogy! The first film, Episode Red, features Kamen Rider Zeronos and Airi Nogami sorting out the sordid history (and future) of their love. Episode Blue features New Den-O & Teddy. Friends from the future, can these inheritors of the Den-O legacy survive the past and return to their future? And finally Episode Yellow focuses on, Kamen Rider Diend?! That’s right, the thieving hero/crook from Kamen Rider Decade has come to (sort of) right the wrongs of his own past. But being pursued by the new Kamen Rider G Den-O brings it’s own problems. With time travelling hijinks, more than a few double crosses, precious mementos, and at least one insane artificial Imagin, is it any wonder Diend is here? Have no fear, this time Diend steals the show with his Complete Form!

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!
