“I could use a warm up actually.”

The Evol Driver. The weapon which the alien menace Evolt used to destroy Mars. A scheme that has taken over 20 years to repair and retrieve it, has finally paid off. Shedding the skin of his Blood Stalk persona, the Pandora Box is within Kamen Rider Evol’s grasp! But can the heroes of Earth and the Rider System outlast that which they were created from? Can the Kamen Riders defeat this eternal evil? Or will they only serve to make him stronger

Kamen Rider Evol is an absolutely delicious release. I was in love with this suit design when it debuted in show, and I adore it in figure form. Evol’s standard Phase 1 Cobra Form is by far the most stylish but it’s certainly tough to beat the other two forms as well. Forgoing much in the way of standard accessories other than hands, Evol instead includes all the extra parts needed to recreate his Phase 2 & Phase 3 forms, Dragon & Rabbit! A genius way to release all 3 forms at once, Tamashii Nations have outdone themselves with this delightfully wonderful villain.

We’ve attached a massive 90+ images to this post for your viewing pleasure. You can check all of them out as well as the extensive review for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Evol in the thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be be taken to the complete thread. We’ll be back soon with a gallery from Kamen Rider Drive!

“I, am number one.”

In a surprise reveal/confirmation, Tamashii Nations has just announced the release of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Metal Build! This villainous rider of the Kamen Rider Grease V-Cinema may appear to be a mere reuse of the Build Hazard Form release, but to sweeten the deal Tamashii has *loaded* Metal Build with extra accessories.

Not just alternate hands like Build Hazard included, but also the Kaizoku & Ressha Bottles and Lock & Dragon bottles, as well as heads to match them AND the signature weapons for each form! The Beat Crosser & Pirate Hashyar! The best part about these alternate bottles heads and weapons, is that they can accessorize your original Build Hazard Form!

The entire set will be available as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in August 2020 for 7150 yen!

Let’s begin the Experiment.

There’s little doubt that 2017’s Kamen Rider Build remains a favorite amongst Kamen Rider fans, both Western and Japanese alike. Today, our friends at Avex released a rather unexpected treat for those fans: the show’s opening theme song: Be The One sung completely in English by Beverly herself. 

For your enjoyment, the whole song can be heard on avex’s official YouTube page, be sure to click the box below and check it out!

“I won’t lose myself anymore.
This power is all mine now!”

The Hazard Trigger. With it, Sento Kiryu can gain the upper hand in any fight, becoming an unstoppable berserker in the process. To contain the uncontrollable power, he develops a new bottle to channel his strength and consciousness. Surpassing the genius of Takumi Katsuragi, the Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle creates Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Rabbit Form! Representing his home Seito in the 3-round battle, Build will test his new power against the dangerous Kamen Rider Rogue.

Rabbit Rabbit Form joins an ever expanding line up of figures from the world of Build. An extensive repaint/retool of the base rabbit/tank mold and it’s variations, rabbit rabbit evokes the true power of the Rider System. With the added bulk of it’s new armor, it’s an intimidating yet heroic design, and it’s armed with a brand new weapon in the form of the Full Bottle Buster. Getting ever closer to Build’s later seasons forms, this one will please many fans until the hopefully eventual release of Build Genius Form.

This is the end!

Two Earths, a single future. To save his world Sento has gambled everything on the power of Pandora’s Box. Opening a bridge between universes, and using Evolt’s energy as the catalyst, Sento seeks to fuse the two worlds to save them both. To create a New World, without Evolt. And with Ryuga’s help, one last experiment to save humanity begins. Gold & Silver, Rabbit & Dragon, Sento AND Ryuga. Build’s final transformation, his Trial Form is born! With the unstable power of two Kamen Riders, can Sento save the New World he wishes to build?

Trial Form is an absolutely stunning repaint & remold of the solid Rabbit/Tank release of Build. Released as a Tamashii Nations 2019 exclusive (alongside Seihou Diend), this gorgeous figure is a must have addition to any Build collection. And that’s not simply because it represents the ultimate power of Sento & Ryuga’s friendship, but because it also includes the Pandora Box! This accessory has been demanded by Build collectors since the show was still airing, and now that it’s finally here maybe you can stage your own 3-sided war for it’s power in your collection.

The annual Tamashii Nations event is under way and as ever, there are a plethora of new items on display. Just as with every Tamashii event, an item being displayed does not necessarily indicate that it will be released however. A number of new items are currently listed as “Display Only” as well.

That is a hefty grouping of new reveala. Once again, we know that not everything here will make it to production for some time, if at all. But it’s always pleasing to see just how much Tamashii pumps out for these events. As more new reveals, images, and information from the event surface we will update this story and the related thread.

“We’re the Hokuto Three Crows!
And we’re not just gonna tell you who we are.”

In the 3-sided war for Pandora’s Box that took shape early in Kamen Rider Build, it was the surprise appearance of this trio of Hard Smashes that turned everything upside down. Accompanying the powerful new rider, Kamen Rider Grease, the Hokuto Three Crows presented an uphill battle for Build & Cross-Z. Initially these heroes of Hokuto clashed with the main cast, but it wasn’t long before the real motives of the war and their perpetrator were revealed and these beloved allies of Kazumi Sawatari gave their all for their friend.

Castle, Stag, and Owl Hard Smash echo the trifecta of classic sentai colors, and ultimately they proved themselves heroes very much worthy of that influence. These figures of the trio are Figuarts Zero’s, basically statues, but snazzy shelf display pieces none the less. With some minimal articulation worked in, each is sculpted and painted wonderfully, and scaled perfectly to match any of your Kamen Rider Build family Figuarts. Regardless of any shortcomings, of which there are some, having the Hokuto Three ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with Grease is incredibly satisfying.

We’ve attached a full 80 image gallery to this post, but you can also read through our comprehensive review of the set by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’re getting back to action with some more Power Rangers Lightning Collection galleries!

In the immortal words of Woz,
“Rejoice! He is heir to the power of all riders”.

Kamen Rider Zi-O is nearing it’s end and the impending start of the Reiwa Era of Kamen Rider is on the horizon. And as this series and the Heisei Era come to an end, Tamashii Nations has just released the first of Zi-O’s power ups in figure form. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O Build Armor is the first stepping stone along Sougo Tokiwa’s path to the future where he rules. Will he be a benevolent overlord, or succumb to the evils of Oma Zi-O? Time will tell.

For now, we’re tackling this first in a line of Zi-O Armor Time upgrades in the same we always have, with a comprehensive gallery & review! Zi-O Build Armor set the standard for what was to come with many of the shows’ various power ups as well as many that never made it in. This figure likewise sets an incredibly solid & stable standard for how the Zi-O line should progress from here on. A stylish figure with tons of personality inherited from both of it’s parent designs, and armed with the Drill Crusher Crusher (yes!) it’s an excellent addition to the power set of this benevolent overlord.

Check out a full 50+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O Build Armor after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.  If you’d like to take a look back at the designs that influence this figure you can check out our galleries of Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Tank Form and Kamen Rider Zi-O!
