Today, Toei began streaming a new video promoting the upcoming Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever film (which comes out in two days!). But rather than just a new teaser or trailer for the film, this video previews the films theme song, which is itself a compilation and re-mix of the Opening Themes for all 20 Heisei Riders!

Titled “Heisei Generations Forever Medley D.A. Re-Build Mix” this song arranges clips from each of the 20 Heisei Rider OP’s into one giant song, set to a variety of archival footage as well as new scenes from the soon to be released film itself.  This new theme was arranged by Daisuke Asakura.

Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever hits Japanese theaters on December 22nd! Best to dodge spoilers on social media for a bit, but if you’d like to join in on our ongoing discussion of the film, feel free to pop into our discussion thread linked below.

The next entry in the SH Figuarts ZERO sub-line has been revealed: a three-pack containing the Hokuto Three Crows of Kamen Rider Build!

For those somewhat unfamiliar with the series, the Three Crows are three enhanced soldiers with unique FullBottles that can transform into monstrous forms- they are the Castle, Stag and Owl HardSmash respectively- under the command of Kamen Rider Grease.

These 3 Crows have been brought to life as Figuarts ZEROs; non-articulate but still expertly designed figures! In addition, the Crows come with a new accessory for SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Grease- a switchable hand holding the Crows’ military tags.

The Hokuto Trio will receive a singular release- all three figures will be coming out June 2019! The price is a very modest 12960 Yen before shipping and handling.

“Black Hazard! Oh no!”

Toku Toy Box is kicking off strong this year with a dangerous and deadly gallery from Kamen Rider Build!  An item of unmatched power, based upon something even more ancient and powerful, the Hazard Trigger was given to Sento Kiryu by Blood Stalk. Using it’s uncontrollable power, the black hazard, Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Hazard Form emerges! For better or worse Sento must use this dangerous power to fight. Now we take a look at the Tamashii Nations 2018 event exclusive S.H. Figuart of this form!

A brilliant repaint and remold of the original Build Rabbit/Tank mold, Build Hazard is sleek and sexy. A form that gives off an aura of power and danger, Hazard Form is easily one of the best Build releases in the line so far. All of the same standard articulation from the original mold is back, but we get a really gorgeous and fierce new helmet design and some fantastic new shoulder pad designs. While Hazard includes a few hands for posing, the truly impressive accessories with this figure are the Hawk/Gattling Hazard Form parts! We get a new head, the Hawk Gattlinger weapon, and the Taka & Gattling Full Bottles. More Figuarts should come with swap out accessories such as this.

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery of this impressive release to this post, but you can also check out our lengthy review by clicking the link below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be taken to our full review thread! In a couple days we’ll be back with another Toku Toy Box gallery, and this time, it’ll be of a truly impressive custom figure we’ve been waiting over a year to share with you!

“Crocodile in Rogue!!”

Gentoku Himuro lusted for power and conquest as the monstrous Night Rogue. But undergoing savage trials at the hands of Utsumi Nariaki & Blood Stalk. Gentoku would be reborn. Cured of the Nebula Gas influence, Gentoku remembered what it meant to fight for his country. It was only a matter of time before his heart was free to fight for his people, and his father’s memory. Though he once struck fear into our heroes hearts, Gentoku would now fight for love and peace as the dangerous Kamen Rider Rogue!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Rogue is another really stylish addition to the ever growing family of Build Figuarts. It’s unique color scheme and design really do stand out with the other riders in the line. The first Crocodile rider, (though we have seen an Alligator before!) Rogue does an excellent job subtly showing off it’s theme from the clawed feet, to the “Cracked” helmet. Rogue includes his signature Nebula Steam Gun, Transteam Blade, and even the Hell Bros’ Gears. It’s honestly the full package.

During a special Live Stream presentation rounding out the events at Tamashii Nations 2018, Bandai confirmed that the just revealed Hokuto Three from Kamen Rider Build will indeed be released! There was some initial confusion about the form these releases would take should they be green-lit for production, the prototypes lack joints and the placards specifically called them “S.H. Figuarts”. However the live stream has confirmed that the Hokuto Three will indeed be released as Figuarts Zero’s! There is no information currently available regarding time, price, or format of release, but we will update you when that information is available.

This live stream event also featured Kamen Rider Grease/Ixa/Dark Kiva actor Kohei Takeda. Takeda had the chance to show off the upcoming Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva Figuart and it’s functionality. Bandai even busted out the old Ixa & Dark Kiva figuarts along with the recent Grease release for Takeda to play around with during the stream. You can watch the entire event on Bandai’s Youtube channel.

“Best Match!”

Revealed yesterday during Tamashii Nations 2018, we now have our first clear images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Dragon Form!

Originally under a photo ban with a variety of other items at the show, Build Rabbit Dragon can now be seen in all it’s golden & silver glory. An extensive repaint of the Rabbit Tank mold, with some new dragon parts courtesy of Cross-Z, this form represents the fusion of Sento & Banjou’s powers as seen *very* briefly in the series finale. Could something like this actually see release? Even as a limited web exclusive? I personally hope so, but time will tell.

“Best Match!”

Tamashii Nations day 2 has gotten off to a pretty wild start for Kamen Rider Build fans! A number of new reveals that were under photo bans have finally been revealed:

S.H. Figuarts:
Kamen Rider Evol Cobra Form
The Hokuto Three Crows (Aoba, Kiba, Akiba)
Kamen Rider Grease (With Crows Dog Tags)
Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Rabbit Form
Kamen Rider Build Tank/Tank Form
Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Dragon Form

Rabbit/Dragon, the final form debuting in the final episode of the series, has yet to be seen in a properly clear photo, as it’s still under the photo ban. The Hokuto Three are listed as S.H. Figuarts on their placard, however they do appear to be non-articulated Figuarts Zero’s based on the prototypes shown. They’re definitely quite an interesting release if they make it out to retail eventually.  As is we have no confirmed release info for any of these figures.

As more information and images become available we’ll be sure to update you in the ongoing Tamashii Nations 2018 discussion thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” below to catch up on the discussion. Images for this story come from AmiamiNews, and Tokullector.

“Robot in Grease!”

Kazumi Sawatari, was a humble farmer once, but the war to save or conquer Japan would pit him against heroic Kamen Riders, evil industrialists, scheming politicians, and even extraterrestrial monsters. Driver in hand, Kazumi sacrificed everything to be a hero and stand up for those he lost, and those he loved. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Grease recreates the character we know and love, and today we have a full gallery and review of it!

Kamen Rider Grease manages to be yet another really wonderful addition to the Build line-up. It may have a lot to do with just how memorable all of the characters from the series are, but each of their figures feel like such a refresher. Each with it’s own unique charm to it. Grease’s gorgeous gold color scheme and translucent black parts combined with the Sclash Driver & Twin Breaker add up to a pretty much perfect release.

The full gallery is attached to this post, but if you’d like to read the full length review as well, just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with more Build and several Ex-Aid galleries!
