A pair of new Tamashi Web Exclusive releases have just gone live on the Tamashii Web Shop!

From Kamen Rider Drive we have S.I.C. Heart Roidmude. A companion piece tot he recently released S.I.C. Drive and the upcoming Mashin Chaser. This version of Heart is more directly inspired by Takayuki Takeya’s original design for the character, as  indicated by the heart ventrical wings on his back. Heart will be released in October as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 8856 yen.

Next up is an odd one. The S.H. Figuarts Helldiver is a companion piece for Kamen Rider ZX. A figuart released way back in 2013, numerous ZX’s had serious QC issues, not limited to but including poor paint applications, loose part fits, etc. It’s surprising to see his bike released nearly 4 years later, and unlike other recent Showa releases, there is currently no two-pack with a slightly altered ZX offered. For now, the Helldiver will also be released in October, for 5400 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive.

Get with your preferred middleman or service to secure orders for these releases soon!

“Tune Rhino. Super Break Up!”

Kamen Rider Drive has been enjoying quite the second life in the form of various movie appearances & special V-Cinema releases. And luckily so have his allies. Chase had his own in the form of the Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser film. This direct to video film also featured a brand new form for Chaser, an upgrade of his Roidmude reaper form, which we’re focusing on for today’s gallery. S.H. Figuarts Super Mashin Chaser!

Super Mashin Chaser is actually the 3rd outing so far of the Chaser mold. Following up from Mashin Chaser & Super Dead Heat Drive. But that hasn’t diminished how impressive it is each time eather. This mold still rocks some gorgeous asymmetry, only this time in impressive gold! There’s not much new to say about how the figure is designed, but it does have a striking color scheme. And while it’s lite on accessories outside the new Break Gunner Super Viral Core Loaded Version, it’s still compatible with the previously released Tune/Busou Chaser accessory set! So there’s plenty of play value in this gorgeous figure.

We’ve assembled a full 80 images of this figure for your viewing pleasure. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to see the full gallery & review. We’ll see you soon with a couple of new throwback galleries from Kamen Rider’s W & Kabuto!

“Nice Drive!”

We’re back in the exciting world of Kamen Rider Drive with a brand new gallery of the series first foray into the S.I.C. toyline!

S.I.C. Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed is the shows first entry in this line, soon to be followed by Mashin Chaser and the recently confirmed Heart Roidmude. While I don’t typically pick up S.I.C.’s I could not resist seeing Takeyuki Takeya’s take on this Rider. After all, the famed designer created all of the Roidmudes that Drive and his allies faced in the series. This monstrous rendition of Drive is an impressive piece of design from this prolific creator. And as with most S.I.C.’s it’s positively loaded down with accessories! Such as the Handle Sword, Door Gun, The Max Flare Tire, and plenty of Shift Cars. This is a really all inclusive release that sets the bar pretty high for where this line goes from here.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view over 70 images of S.I.C. Kamen Rider Drive after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

Second, we get to see Kamen Rider Mach in a new form- Kamen Rider Mach Chaser! This suit is modified from the end-of-series Chaser Mach powerup, and is unlocked by a new Signal Bike- the Shift Rider Crosser.

Even though the Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser V-Cinema won’t be out until April of next year, we already have a sneak peak at a brand new form debuting in it! Exclusive to the movie is Chou Mashin Chaser! A golden Ultimate Evolution style upgrade for Mashin Chaser accessed via the Rhino Super Viral Core.

This movie’s timeline supposedly puts it somehwere between Surprise Future and episode 41 of the series. So it’s anyone’s guess as to how Chase obtains this new Viral Core and if he shares the experience of this form with any members of the Special Investigations Unit. For now we know that the Angel Roidmude will grant Chase humans emotions and that he’ll encounter the previously thought destroyed Roidmude 051 once again, and we’ll also be getting a surprise cameo by none other than Kamen Rider Accel!

Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser will be released on DVD & Blu-Ray in April 2016!

Some new information regarding the upcoming Movie War between Kamen Rider Drive and Kamen Rider Ghost has surfaced online!

Of particular interest, recent reports indicate that Movie War Genesis will be presented as a single contained story featuring both Riders. This is a drastic change of pace from previous Movie Wars, which generally feature three separate story bits (one for each Rider and only a short teamup at the very end).

The director of Movie War Genesis has also been announced- Osamu Kaneda, veteran of Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden and Super Hero Taisen will direct the film. The script will be written by Makoto Hayase– a newcomer to the tokusatsu genre.

Movie War Genesis will be released in theaters on December 12 2015! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all cinematic details!
