Soda!

Once again it’s time for TokuNation to bring you a double whammy! Today we’ve got a gallery of the 3rd of Premium Bandai’s Arms Change releases! ACPB03 is a two-pack which includes Kamen Rider Sigurd & Kamen Rider Marika!

Rounding out the full team of Energy Riders, Sigurd & Marika are top notch releases. Each of their new arms, Cherry Energy & Peach Energy, are engineered perfectly, and as Premium releases they’ve both been given lavish paint jobs to really set them apart from retail AC’s. If you’re as deep into this toyline by now as I am then it’s been nothing but rewarding with each successive release. Each time a new figure comes out it’s always fun to see how previous Arms will look on them as well. And this gallery contains images of Sigurd & Marika in every Arms released thus far!

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to a FULL gallery of these figures. Over 100 images! But before you do that check out the video review posted below. Our resident video wizard Baltmatrix has been hard at work and has a full review of this pair for you to check out! Are we of like minds on this premium release set? Watch his video to find out!

Baltmatrix and I will also be teaming up in the coming weeks for a few other galleries/videos relating to Kamen Rider Drive, so stay tuned!

Go!

TokuNation has at long last made it’s way back to the first Sentai. Well, the show that retroactively is known as the first. Himitsu Sentai Goranger! Though it was nearly 20 years after it’s debut that this series gained it’s Super Sentai status it’s unquestionable that the series began a long tradition of colorful spandex heroes helping some big eyed bug men save Japan. So it’s about time that Bandai got around to making S.H. Figuarts Akaranger!

What better way to celebrate this legend than with a gorgeous sculpt, paint job and wealth of accessories? S.H. Figuarts Akaranger is no slouch! He includes several sets of new hands, two versions of his iconic Red Bute rope weapon, the Silver Shot pistol, the Birdie flying rockets, and even a version of the Goranger Storm Ball! Though this figure is a bit on the large side it’s still a fantastic addition to any sentai collector’s display.

Check out our full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Akaranger after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

Note that although the name on the box is spelled Akarenger, (official romanization) generally his name in English is accepted to be Akaranger, and Toei’s subsequent use of the actual word “Ranger” in many series and hero names would imply that should be the correct term in this instance. So for consistency we went with that.

In a world where fruits and nuts become dangerous Lock Seed armaments, wild flora becomes a means of transportation for the heroes (and villains) of Kamen Rider Gaim!

Figuarts Rose Attacker and to read our review of this Tamashii Nations Web Exclusive item! Initially delayed a couple of months, was it worth the wait? Is it a must-buy for fans of Kamen Rider Gaim? All that and more are answered! Leave your comments! Did you get one? What are YOUR thoughts? Discuss!

TokuNation is ready to kick off another round of new galleries, and this time with a  one-two punch of classic Showa Rider action! This week we spotlight Kamen Rider Black RX’s two alternate forms; Bio Rider & Robo Rider!

Bio Rider, known as the Prince of Anger, was RX’s second form. Born in a life threatening situation RX achieved this form to rescue his ally Joe The Haze. And S.H. Figuarts Bio Rider is definitely one finely detailed figure, one of the best detailed figuarts for some time, featuring some of Bandais recent trend of real detailing. Right down to “folds” in the costumes fabric which are faithfully recreated. Bio Rider comes complete with an astonishing 5 full sets of extra hands and his trademark Bio Blade weapon.

Robo Rider, known as the Prince of Sorrow, was RX’s first surprising alternate form. In response to the supposed death of the young girl Hitomi, Robo Rider debuted in battle against Death Garon. S.H. Figuarts Robo Rider is sadly not one of the best figuarts released recently and includes only a few extra hands along with his Vortech Shooter. However this figure along with Bio Rider completes a display of Kamen Rider Black/RX for figuarts collectors. Though it isn’t as nice as Bio Rider, there’s enough there to love.

It’s TokuNation’s Stage now! We’re back with another in our long running series of Kamen Rider Gaim Galleries! Today we’re examining the one and only S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms!

Kachidoki Arms is of course Kamen Rider Gaim’s 2nd upgraded form after Jinba Arms. This tank, for lack of a better description, was an absolute powerhouse in the TV series and in figure form it’s presence is imposing. Decked out head to toe with incredible finely sculpted features and exquisitely painted details this figure is a masterpiece. Not only that but includes almost every accessory you could need for it, like the DJ Gun & DJ Gun Taiken Mode as well as the Kachidoki Batta flag-like weapons. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms is sure to be held up as one of the best SHF releases this year. Carrying on the excellent tradition begun by Gaim Oranger Arms, Kachidoki does not disappoint.

To see this figure in all it’s glory click “discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to a MASSIVE 80 image gallery as well as a full of Kachidoki Arms.

Kamen Rider Drive’s first episode has finally aired and the first waves of the toy line have made their way into sp,e collector’s hands. Specifically mine! so today we’re taking a look at the very first figure in Drive’s Tire Koukan gimmick line! TK-01 Kamen Rider Drive (Type Speed) is the first in what appears to be a pretty long line of new gimmick figures. Having already revealed up to 8 regular releases and at least one SP release, Tire Koukan should have the same kind of awesome staying power that Arms Change did.

Following up from last years fantastically well received Arms Change line, Tire Koukan has a similar gimmick, literally swapping various themed tires onto Drive and other compatible figures by splitting the figure diagonally in half! This unique gimmick carries itself well to toy form and much like AC’s this new line of TK figures does not disappoint. Drive includes his standard Speed Tire & the Max Flare Tire for additional play. Though this figure is lite on the accessories it’s got plenty of playability and will be right at home with the rest of your riders!

Click “discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to check out our full review of this figure as well as over 70 images! I’ve been personally sold on Kamen Rider Drive the show, and now the toy line. So expect more Drive galleries in the near future! Start your engine!
