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.

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.

“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. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we’ll be back with a brand new gallery from the world of the Makai Knights & Garo with Dark Knight Kiba!

A new opponent has appeared for Kamen Rider Zero-One to challenge the heroes in their final act!

The newly-awakened Ark has acquired a human form and a transformation device- the Ark Driver Zero to begin the goal of wiping out humanity. But the vessels’ true power is awakened when it undergoes a singularity in combat with the other Riders.

As a result, a new and more powerful form is created: Kamen Rider Ark-One!

“There’s only one thing that can stop you, and that’s me!”

In a world where the life of the average human has been made easier by robotic helpers called Humagears, Hiden Intelligence is at the forefront of technological advancement. But with the passing of their founder, Korenosuke Hiden, the duties & responsibilities of president have passed on to his grandson, Aruto. Authorized to use the Progrise Keys & Zero-One Driver, this young man will fight to build a world where Humans & Humagers can coexist and smile together, as Kamen Rider Zero-One!

The Reiwa Era has begun with the first fantastic release from Kamen Rider Zero-One! I must say that Rising Hopper is an excellent design that’s translated to figure form rather perfectly. Exuding personality and functionality, Zero-One really has knocked it out of the park with it’s first release. While this figure isn’t armed with much aside from additional hands (his weapons comes with Vulcan) it’s undeniable how stylish and realistic this figure looks in person. And of course there’s that added bonus of black light reactive parts to drool over!

We’ve assembled 60+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Rising Hopper for your viewing pleasure. You can view the entire gallery and read through our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we have the formula for another great gallery with Build Tank Tank Form!

TV-Asahi has at last announced a return date for the SuperHeroTime programming block, consisting of Mashin Sentai Kiramager and Kamen Rider Zero-One!

Production on both series was suspended last month due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and a state of emergency declaration in Japan. However, new regulations have been put in place to ensure safe distancing between actors and crew to halt potential spread of the disease. As a result, filming on both series has resumed!

New episodes of Super Sentai and Kamen Rider will begin airing June 21 2020! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on each exciting series.

Because of this, we now have some new images of the newest configuration for Zero-One: Kamen Rider Zero-Two!

This new form is created by combining the Hiden 01 Driver with a new device called the 02 Driver Unit. A new Progrise Key called the 02 Progrise Key will unlock Kamen Rider Zero-Two when used with the new Driver configuration.
