Ore, Sanjou!

The next Kamen Rider for the highly popular Shinkocchou Sehou branch of SH Figuarts has been confirmed!

Fan favorite Kamen Rider Den-O takes the next Seihou slot, with his unique Plat Form configuration. This is Kamen Rider Den-O’s most basic state, fighting without aid from the Imagin creatures that normally give Den-O his powers.

And speaking of which, it seems another Den-O character is getting a Seihou release spot- the reveal stream that confirmed Plat Form also has an early look at a Shinkocchou Seihou based on everyones’ favorite climaxing swordsman- the Imagin Momotaros!

SH Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Den-O Plat Form is currently scheduled for release in September 2020. The price is a modest 5500 Yen before shipping and handling.

Kamen Rider Den-O has….arrived! In Bandai’s Figure-Rise Standard line of model kits and after our initial tease last year, we finally have more info on what goodies this upcoming kit will bring with him.

As the title suggests, the Figure-Rise Standard Kamen Rider Den-O kit will come bundled with parts for Sword and Plat Forms, the figure itself can transition in-between these forms via parts swapping. In addition to that, the kit will include a clear effect piece for the Den-Gasher though whether or not this kit will include additional Hissatsu Waza effect parts remains to be seen.

None of the less, we can expect Figure-Rise Standard Kamen Rider Den-O Sword and Platform to hit the shelves in June 2020. Retailing for 3850 yen wherever Bandai model kits are sold A great looking alternative for those that may not be able to afford the much more expensive Seihou figure!

ORE…SANJOU!

Tamashii Nations is taking us for a Time Trippin’ Ride with the latest Heisei Era Kamen Rider to join the impressive S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchu Seihou line up with release info for their forthcoming Kamen Rider Den-O figure thanks to some new magazine scans that have been making the rounds.

We first caught wind of this figure thanks to the last Tamashii Nations event, and thanks to these scans we now have more information on this upcoming figure: S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchu Seihou Kamen Rider Den-O Sword Form will be released April 2020 for 8800 yen.

But it seems like he won’t be alone, in addition to Sword Form pictures for a Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Den-O Gun Form were also found. It seems as though Sword and Gun Form will be coming together in one set, and this figure will incorporate an armor change gimmick much like the previously released OOO lineup or Geiz Revive but at this time we have no real clarification on whether or not Gun form is an armor change gimmick or a stand-alone figure.

Whether or not this figure will combo change or not, and whether or not our friends over at Blufin Brands will bring it over stateside remains to be seen, but we’ll be sure to update you as soon as more info is provided.

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.

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.

“Time Mazine!”

The massive mecha known as the Time Mazine is the last line of defense between the rebels of 2068 & the dark overlord Oma Zi-O. These mass produced defenders have even been known to be used by the Time Jackers… Sougo Tokiwa was given access to one thanks to Tsukuyomi travelling back in time from this bleak future. A means of travel to the eras of the legendary riders that preceded him, Sougo as the present day Kamen Rider Zi-O will gain the powers of the past to save (or dominate) the future!

DX Time Mazine is the big DX toy of the line this year. In years past it was preceded by things like Captain Ghost, Tridoron, Suika Arms, and Wizardragon. While we don’t get to see a lot of the big items each year because of CG costs, Time Mazine is used fairly often actually. The DX toy winds up being one of the best articulated mecha we’ve gotten in a while (take that Sentai!) and is completely interactive with the Ride Watches of the toyline. This figure is also scaled to work with the Rider Kicks RKF line and even transforms to vehicle mode!

We’ve attached the full gallery of DX Time Mazine to this article, but you can also read up on our full review of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Later this week, we’ll be back with the legendary warrior, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cronus!

Kamen Rider Zi-O’s first big feature film is headed to theaters December 22nd with Heisei Generations Forever. The third, and supposedly final installment in the Generations trilogy. While Zi-O’s TV series has already featured a number of Another Riders and a handful of proper Rider cameos, we now know that Heisei Generations Forever will feature the debut of 3 more such creatures.

According to Cinema Today JP, we now know that Another W, Another Den-O, and a brand new Imagin linked to Another Den-O, Futaros Imagin, will all make their debut in this film. Roughly speaking it would seem the implied meaning of the Futaros’ name is negative or minus, so this character makes sense to be the contract Imagin of Another Den-O (too bad Negataros was already taken!). But time will tell if this character is or is not, another foil for our heroes.  Both Another W & Den-O are sporting some truly wicked designs as previous Another Riders have.

With Kamen Rider Zi-O heralding the end of the Heisei Era for Kamen Rider, and in commemoration of the 20th Heisei Rider himself, Tamashii Nations has announced the S.H. Figuarts Heisei Riders Rising Project!

The Rising Project announcement promises the reveal of 3 new Heisei Rider figuarts in the near future. The first of these 3 riders will be revealed on August 24th. Currently speculation is running wild as to what these 3 figures will actually be. Will this be Kiva’s time? There’s Zi-O which begins airing next month  as well, so now would be an ideal time to reveal his first figuart. Then there’s the possibility that 1 or more of these figures could be a Shinkocchou Seihou renewal of an out of date release like OOO, Fourze, or even Faiz.

Exactly who these 3 Heisei Riders are, is something we’ll be watching closely in the coming weeks. So we’ll be sure to keep the community up to date!
