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!

This is certainly a quick turn around! Despite the series itself only being in it’s 3rd week, it looks like S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed is on the horizon!

Teased by the official Tamashii Features twitter account is our very first look at Drive. You may recall that last year Kamen Rider Gaim premiered on October 6th and just 2 weeks later the first gray prototype of S.H. Figuarts Gaim was revealed prior to Tamashii Nations. Kamen Rider Drive premiered October 5th and has had what appears to be a fully colored prototype revealed on October 19th in anticipation of the same event.

Tamashii Nations 2014 will being on October 31st so we can expect more in depth looks at this brand new figure then!
