Even with a healthy amount of previous releases mixed in, that’s quite the stack of new reveals from the event. There’s a magnificent display of older releases surrounding the entire rider display that essentially adds up to most if not all of the regular Rider releases from the last decade. It’s an impresssive sight to behold and one that we don’t have the time to list out every individual figure for. We’re sure that more will be revealed through out the weekend though so be sure to stick with us for all your updates from Tamashii Nations 2020!
Just in case you missed it it, Bandai announced that the ever-popular Kamen Rider Black was joining theS.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Black line on the recent cover of Figure-Oh Magazine, and Tamashii’s offical web page was recently updated with a plethora of images for this upcoming release as well as some product info!
S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Black will be released at general retail in April 2021 retailing for 7,700 yen.
The latest issue of Figure-Oh magazine has just been released, and gracing the cover is the surprise announcement of an S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Black! We’ll bring you more information about this reveal as it comes, and the figure is surely to be on show at the Tamashii Nations 2020 event in a few weeks’ time!
Bandai’s Candy Toy Blog has just fully revealed two new upcoming waves of Shodo-X! Consisting of releases from Kamen Rider Agito as well as Kamen Rider Black & Black RX, we get a huge variety for forms and a few Rider Machines:
Kamen Rider Agito
– Agito Ground Form
– Agito Trinity Form
– Agito ShiningForm
– Machine Tornador (A parts)
– Machine Tornador (B Parts)
– Extension set (Weapons & parts to make Flame/Storm forms)
So you get nearly every Agito form aside from Burning as well as his Rider Machine in this wave! Of note however is that you will need duplicates of Ground & Trinity Form in order to have stand-alone Flame & Storm Forms at the same time. So expect to see cases broken down to sell extras when this wave releases.
Black & RX
– Black
– Black RX
– Battle Hopper
– Acrobatter
– Shadow Moon
Comparisons are shown between these new Shodo-X releases and the original Shodo VS releases for Black & company, illustrating the improvements of the X line. So if you picked up the older VS releases, it looks like a fairly significant upgrade this go around.
In an odd bit of news it appears that a selection of classic Japanese tokusatsu will be headed to Netflix! In Brazil.

This title nearly fell off the radar, with Bandai Namco Games having released a sequel is coming down the pipe line. The first Lost Heroes game was released in 2012 and features characters from the Mobile Suit Gundam, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider franchises.

Gundam:
Unicorn
F91
00 Raiser
Kamen Rider:
Black
Fourze
Wizard
Ultraman:
Leo
Tiga
Ginga
Kamen RIder Black RX and the 00 Quanta are also in the game, interestingly enough those two will be treated as form changes according to the trailer. Lost Heroes 2 will be released on the Nintendo 3DS console in February 15th 2015, a premium version is also available for purchase.
An interesting new story has hit the web, courtesy of the good people at The Tokusatsu Network:
Fan-favorite actor Tetsuo Kurata who portrayed Kamen Rider Black and Black RX will be returning to the world of tokusatsu in a new film production- AND the film in question will feature a new Black RX form!
While Toei’s latest cinematic project has not yet been officially confirmed, Kurata’s blog mentions a release in the Spring of 2015. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on any movie news!
At the recently held Miyazawa Model Exhibition, Medicom was present to unveil new products. Of note, we have a new RAH DX Kamen Rider Black 2.0 on the way.
The high end Century King will be going up for pre order this January and will be shipped sometime in August.
The cost of the figure will be a steep 22,680 yen but the time gap between release should offer plenty of time to save up.
In a bit of a surprise announcement, model car company Fujimi via Taghobby has announced that they’ll be diving into the world of Kamen Rider bikes, starting with Kamen Rider Black’s trusty ride: a 1/12th scale replica of the Battle Hopper!
