CHOU HENSHIN!!

Some exciting news for fans of Kamen Rider and comics!
Publisher StoneBot Comics has obtained the license to translate & release the Kamen Rider Kuuga manga- a retelling of the iconic Kamen Rider series.
But that’s not all! StoneBot Comics has also revealed they will be producing some ORIGINAL content for Kamen Rider Zero-One– starting with a 4-issue mini series and a number of one-shot issues exploring the Zero-One universe.
Both StoneBot Kamen Rider projects are tentatively scheduled for release in 2022. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this new chapter in Kamen Rider adaptation history!

Dovetailing nicely from the recent Kamen Rider Kuuga releases of Dragon Form & Pegasus Forms, Tamashii Nations has just announced their next release from the series; S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Ruder Kuuga Growing Form! Not only is Kuuga’s basic pre-form finally joining his Seihou brothers, he’s bringing along some accessories for them as well! For Pegasus Form, the handgun that’s transformed into the Pegasus Bowgun, and for Dragon Form we get the pole that’s transformed into the Dragon Rod. A great way to make an otherwise basic form really pack a punch. Release details are as follows

Even with a healthy amount of previous releases mixed in, that’s quite the stack of new reveals from the event. There’s a magnificent display of older releases surrounding the entire rider display that essentially adds up to most if not all of the regular Rider releases from the last decade. It’s an impresssive sight to behold and one that we don’t have the time to list out every individual figure for. We’re sure that more will be revealed through out the weekend though so be sure to stick with us for all your updates from Tamashii Nations 2020!
After the double reveal of Shinkocchou Seihou releases last month for Kuuga’s Pegasus & Dragon Forms, we now have official confirmation that the next Kuuga release following them is in development! In an S.H. Figuarts blog post taking a detailed look at these upcoming releases, Tamashii Nations have officially confirmed they’re moving forward with producing Kamen Rider Kuuga Titan Form as well!
Currently we have only this confirmation and the accompanying images, but we’re eagerly awaiting release info for this figure as well. After completing the circle of Kuuga’s 4 basic forms, is the next step for Bandai going to be giving us the Rising versions of Dragon, Pegasus, & Titan to compliment the previously released Rising Mighty? For now release information hasn’t been revealed for this release, but when it is we’ll update this story with it.
“Cho Henshin!”
When Yuusuke Godai had to adapt to fight the more powerful Grongi attacking human kind, the Arcle unlocked more of the ancient powers of Kuuga! Now after quite a while since the last Kuuga release in the Shinkocchou Seihou subline, Tamashii Nations is giving us a double dose of the hero who protects smiles.
Set for release in February 2021 are two new additions to the Kuuga lineup with Kamen Rider Kuuga Dragon Form & Kamen Rider Kuuga Pegasus Form! This pair of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou releases are coming out at the same time, both as Tamashii Web Exclusives, and are priced at 6000 yen each. That’s quite the month for rider collectors. Official images have yet to be released for either figure, but we’ll update this article when they are.

“Henshin!”
When the Destroyer of Worlds, Kamen Rider Decade, embarked on a journey through the worlds of the Heisei Riders he came upon something familiar. A world, besieged by the ancient Gurongi, and protected by a hero bearing the Linto Tribe’s Arcle. But beneath this familiar form, was someone different. Often unsure of his abilities, but ready to protect the smiles of the people of his world, Yusukue Onodera stood against darkness as Kamen Rider Kuuga! Choosing to join Tsukasa on his journey through dimensions, protecting everyone’s smiles on the way, Yusuke grew into the confident hero he was also meant to be.
From Tamashii Nations we have what some would say is a long overdue release in the form of Kamen Rider Kuuga Mighty Form (Decade Version)! At first glance this figure would seem identical to the original Shinkocchou Seihou Kuuga, but in fact the suit used in Decade (which is reflected in this figure) had a subtle metallic red sheen to it. Outside of this though, what we have here is an identically constructed and accessorized figure to the original Kuuga release. Which is not a bad thing! Shinkocchou Seihou Kuuga was a brilliant figure when it was released, and this clever reissue of the mold will not only work for fans seeking to complete a Decade collection, but it also gives collectors who missed it the first time around another chance to handle this excellent figure.
We’ve assembled a huge 70+ image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Mighty Form Decade Ver. You can check out the entire gallery and our extensive review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Tomorrow, we journey to the land of light with our first Ultraman figure review in some time with S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga!
Bandai have released official images of their forthcoming SO-DO CHRONICLE Kamen Rider Kuuga candy toy set, due for release in Spring 2020. According to the Bandai Candy Toy blog, the Kuuga set will feature improved proportions and articulation as well as significantly more paint apps. The five-piece set will include a common body figure, and then additional armour for his Mighty, Dragon, Pegasus and Titan forms.
