Seen most recently at the Tamashii Nations Tokyo event in April, Bandai has just confirmed release details for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gamedeus Cronus!

Taking a roundabout way to getting released, Gamedeus Cronus has been seen in one form or another at several Tamashii events. At one point only the Deus Rusher & Deus Rampart sword & shield were seen, being held by a standard Cronus Figuart. Thankfully today’s new images not only confirm it’s status as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, but also it’s October 2019 release window and 7150 yen price.

Since this is an exclusive, be sure to watch your preferred sites or middleman services for pre-orders.

Joining alongside S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O II that we posted earlier, our second reveal is for fans of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, and it’s none other than S.H.Figuarts Gemedus Chronus!

At the moment, both Gemedeus Chronus and Zi-O II are display only items so we have no indication on when/if they’ll come out and how much they’ll cost.

Do check back with us though, and we’ll provide updates as soon as they’re made available for pre-order.

“Those who betrayed me are far beyond forgiveness!”

The one and only Game Master returns! Deleted previously by Parad, Kuroto Dan’s data was scattered into the Proto Mighty Action X Gashat and seemingly lost. But thanks to Poppy, Kuroto’s data was recovered and the game master was reborn, as a Bugster! Now imbued with all the abilities of a Bugster, and begrudgingly joining up with the team at CR, Kuroto has returned to stop Parad, Masamune, and anyone else who gets in the way of his path to godhood!

S.H. Figuarts Shin Kuroto Dan represents this reprehensible rider after his rebirth as a Bugster in episode 31 of Ex-Aid. Taking on the moniker Shin (new), Kuroto begins to indulge in some of his wilder tendencies. This figure, while imperfect, certainly does a fair job of recreating the insanity of his character at this point as well. Civilian figuarts still aren’t incredibly common, so the expectations can be big surrounding releases such as this. Couple that with the inclusion of the Continue Pipe the character is infamous for, and collectors had high hopes over this release. So how did it turn out in the end?

We’ve attached the full 50+ image gallery to this post, but you can read our in depth review of Shin Kuroto Dan after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums”. We’ll be back soon with a brand new gallery from Kamen Rider Amazons: The Last Judgement! And don’t forget that this gallery enters you in for a chance to win one of a number of possible prizes in our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway!

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.

“So you think you have what it takes to obtain the legendary power?”
“The fact that I’m here is proof enough.”

A free but guilty man, Masamune Dan sought to take back his company, defeat his son, and discontinue those pesky Kamen Riders. Resilient to all strains of the Bugster virus, Masamune was uniquely worthy to obtain the power of the one meant to defeat Gamedeus. With the ability to Pause & Restart, Masamune would become Kamen Rider Cronus! But Taiga Hanaya was the first rider chosen to fight the Bugsters. And as Kamen Rider Snipe he saved countless lives. In order to stop Masamune’s final plot, Taiga exposed himself to Kamen Rider Chronicle and using his Gamer Driver and two Chronicle Gashats, he’ll take on Cronus as, Kamen Rider Cronus!?

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cronus is a bit of a unique release. While we all know Masamune Dan as the menacing Cronus with his ability to control time, Taiga also proved himself worthy of the power near the series finale and would even go on to use this power once more in the Another Ending Trilogy. This figure can represent either version of the suit! While it comes standard with Masamune’s Buggle Driver Zwei, an alternate Gamer Driver with Chronicle Gashats is included as well so to display the figure as Taiga! Will your own Cronus be the hero or the villain of your collection. I’m a sucker and I bought two of them!

“It’s time. Finally, I will become the god amongst all gods!”

In a bid to create the ultimate game Zombie Chronicle, and restore the data of all those lost to the Bugster Virus, Kuroto Dan has obtained the power of god. Using the God Maximum Mighty X Gashat, Kuroto ascends to become Kamen Rider GenM God Maximum Gamer, Level Billion! And this unique S.H. Figuart has quite a a history to it.

GenM Level Billion is an all new mold, and honestly a surprising release. It’s been a couple years since Ex-Aid aired, and despite this we’ve still yet to see a number of Ex-Aid’s forms in S.H. FIguarts. But Kuroto Dan’s massive popularity continues to drive new releases for him, including this one. A repaint of an Ex-Aid figure that actually has still yet to release! Level Billion is a big beefy, and surprisingly well articulated figure that shine’s with GenM’s personality. The included extra hands and Gashacon Key Slasher also compliment the figure nicely.

We’ve attached the full gallery to this article. but you can also read our full review with this figure’s interesting background by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Following up from what will for now be the last GenM gallery, next time we tackle his father, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cronus!
