Toei has put up the first teaser trailer for this winters’ Kamen Rider theatrical project- a unique double bill for Kamen Rider Saber and Kamen Rider Zero-One!
Originally, the Kamen Rider Zero-One movie was scheduled for release in Spring 2020 but this release was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Exact plot details for both films remain unconfirmed at time of writing.
Kamen Rider Saber: The Movie & Kamen Rider Zero-One: The Movie will be released on December 18 2020!
Just ahead of the Tamashii Nations 2020 event due to take place between 6th and 8th November, Bandai have announced S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Realizing Hopper as a sneak preview! Based on the titular Rider’s appearance during his showdown with Kamen Rider Horobi/Ark Scorpion in the show’s final episode, Realizing Hopper features a slightly altered deco and also comes with the Realizing Hopper Progrise Key and a designated display stand. This is a commemorative item for the event, so is only available for a limited time.
The figure will retail for 3300 yen and release April 2021, with the preorders open from the 6th to the 9th November.
ROCKIN’ HOPPER!
We first caught wind of S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Ichigata at the last digital Tamashii Features event and Bandai is finally gearing up to release this bad boy out in the wild, with a new pre-order page dedicated to this figure just went live.
Reservations for S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Ichigata will begin October 16th, 2020 and he’ll be released in April 2021 alongside the previously revealed Metal Cluster Hopper figure. Ichigata will retail for 6,600 yen.
LET’S RISE!
A new addition joins the ever-growing lineup of S.H.Figuarts figures from last year’s Kamen Rider Zero-One, and as the title suggests it is none other than S.H.Figuatts Kamen Rider Zero One Metal Cluster Hopper!
S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Metal Cluster Hopper was recently announced as a P-Bandai web exclusive. Reservations will begin October 16, 2020, and the figure will finally ship out April 2021. The figure will retail for 7,480 yen and is shown to include the Progrise Hopper Blade as part of his accessories.
Before we all look forward to the debut of Kamen Rider Saber this coming weekend, site contributor My Shiny Toy Robots looks back on the beginning of the Reiwa era – Kamen Rider Zero-One. In a new age of artificial intelligence and technological innovation, Aruto Hiden hasn’t just become a CEO…he’s also a Kamen Rider?! With his aide Izu at his side, can Aruto stop the advances of cyberterrorists MetsubouJinrai.net, and fight for humans and HumaGears alike?
Featuring multiple Riders, tournament arcs and unprecedented delays, Zero-One’s had a bumpy ride along the way but it’s fair to say that the series has brought people a lot of smiles over the past year. Please check out the review and let us know your favourite memories of Zero-One in the thread linked!
Toei has released new teasers confirming the updated release dates for the Super Sentai and Kamen Rider theatrical releases, previously postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
And for the first time in many years, the properties will no longer appear on a double-bill! Each tokusatsu film will have a separate release.
*The first project on schedule, Kamen Rider Zero-One The Movie will feature Aruto face off against a new foe, Kamen Rider Eden to determine the fate of the world. This film is set for release on December 18 2020.
*Next, Mashin Sentai Kiramager The Movie will be released in Spring 2021. Exact plot details have not been confirmed at time of writing but the film is set to feature a sparkling new adventure.
Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on these exciting cinematic endeavors!
Not to be outdone by the reveals of the Shinkocchou Seihou Kuuga’s today, we’ve also got fresh reveals of 3 new Tamashii Nations 2020 exclusives!
Everyone’s favorite Ultra (who’s commemorating his 10th anniversary) Ultraman Zero, will be receiving an S.H. Figuarts Special Color Version release for the event. Decked out in metallic paint applications and including a specialized Tamashii stage, this release will retail for 5500 yen.
Next up is the event exclusive release from Kamen Rider Zero-One! After Shining Assault Hopper was revealed earlier this year, the question remained whether or not the infrequently seen standard Shining Hopper would be released as well. Look no further than this Tamashii Nations exclusive of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Shining Hopper! This figure will retail for 6000 yen.
And last but not least, Tamashii Nations is reaching into the past for this special release. Commemorating their own Tamashii Nations 2014 S.I.C. exclusive as well as the even older Tamashii Festival 2011 S.H. Figuarts exclusive is the brand new S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider OOO TaMaShii Combo for Tamashii Nations 2020! This special OOO form melds the powers of Ankh’s Taka Core Medal, with Momotaro’s Imagin Medal, and the Shocker core medal to create the living logo of Tamashii Nations! This release retails for 6500 yen.
Tamashii Nations is scheduled for Q4 2020 and as usual is likely to be held in October or November. As event exclusives these 3 releases will be a bit more difficult to come by than the average web exclusive, but they are likely to be released later as lottery items via Tamashii Web as well. As official images are release we’ll be sure to share them with the community.
Premium Bandai has put up a listing for the most recent Driver used in Kamen Rider Zero-One!

The DX Ark Driver is currently scheduled for release in December 2020. Price is a modest 8250 Yen before shipping & handling.
Premium Bandai has opened an order page for the next Kamen Rider entry in the fan-favorite SH Figuarts toyline!
Kamen Rider Jin Burning Falcon makes the leap to collectible format, with the HumaGear freedom fighter recreated in exquisite detail.

“The elevation increases as the bullet is fired.”
For as long as Fuwa Isamu could remember, his past was ruined by the berserk Humagears of Daybreak Town. Holding a grudge against them all because of this, Fuwa dedicated himself to their total destruction as a member of A.I.M.S. However, this was all a plot by president Gai Amatsu of ZAIA, to drive Fuwa to hate Humagears even more as he became a Kamen Rider. But with the knowledge of his true past revealed, and both he and Naki free of ZAIA’s control, Fuwa is ready to continue fighting free of the anger that drove him. Instead Fuwa will help defend Humagears with Aruto Hiden & Izu. He will realize his own dream, to truly be Kamen Rider Vulcan!
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Vulcan is the second release in the Zero-One subline and so far these releases are shaping up very very nicely. Like Zero-One, Vulcan is an articulation dream, capable of striking poses in natural and appropriately exaggerated fashion. While he doesn’t have the same kind of fun black light gimmick as Aruto, Fuwa makes up for that with a wealth of accessories. Like his waist mounted (and functional!) Shot Riser, the 4 sets of hands, his own Attache Shotgun, and the Attache Calibur for Zero-One! This is an incredibly well rounded release.
We’ve assembled 50+ images for our gallery of S.H Figuarts Kamen Rider Vulcan Shooting Wolf and you can see them all in the full gallery thread linked below.
