“Robot in Grease!”

Kazumi Sawatari, was a humble farmer once, but the war to save or conquer Japan would pit him against heroic Kamen Riders, evil industrialists, scheming politicians, and even extraterrestrial monsters. Driver in hand, Kazumi sacrificed everything to be a hero and stand up for those he lost, and those he loved. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Grease recreates the character we know and love, and today we have a full gallery and review of it!

Kamen Rider Grease manages to be yet another really wonderful addition to the Build line-up. It may have a lot to do with just how memorable all of the characters from the series are, but each of their figures feel like such a refresher. Each with it’s own unique charm to it. Grease’s gorgeous gold color scheme and translucent black parts combined with the Sclash Driver & Twin Breaker add up to a pretty much perfect release.

The full gallery is attached to this post, but if you’d like to read the full length review as well, just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with more Build and several Ex-Aid galleries!

Today represents a monumental occasion for fans of Kamen Rider and SH Figuarts!

Ever since this line of action figures began, one particular Kamen Rider has been noticeably absent from major release. But now, after ten long years of waiting (and meme-ing) the Fangire Hunter Kamen Rider Kiva finally gets his due!

Kamen Rider Kiva’s basic form has been recreated in exquisite details. The figure will include Kivat (his bat-robot sidekick) along with the six Fuestles used in-series to unlock Kiva’s alternate forms & attacks.

SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Kiva is currently scheduled for release in April 2019! The price is a modest 7560 Yen before shipping and handling.

These days tabletop roleplaying games are all the craze in the tokustasu community. Recently, Sandy Pug Games introduced a Kickstarter campaign for their tabletop roleplaying game “Americana”, a tabletop game set in the 1950’s but with all your favorite fantasy races living normal everyday lives in 1950’s America. That Kickstarter campaign has already reached its funding goal so it will be released! But now, they’ve introduced one of their stretch goals – a tokusatsu themed expansion! Introducing Super Americana Magic Force Go!

“Americana Magic Force Go is a tokusatsu tabletop RPG setting, taking place in that same fantasy 1950s, but instead of investigating a murder, the party is a group of teenagers given the power of legendary mythical beasts, charged with battling the evil werewolf dictator Xueh, who intends to conquer the world and seize the minds of the Earth’s werewolf population from their massive battle station, hanging high above the Arctic.”

Americana Magic Force Go will be, if funded, a fully developed new setting with mechanics to match – mirroring classic tokusatsu shows and films with an awesome escalation mechanic, unique character generation mechanics and a fantastic enemy creation system to provide the meanest, most special foes for your team to combat!

As previously stated – the game is already 100% funded! This is a $10,000 stretch goal (as of the time of the post they are less than $2,300 away with 11 days to go). There are plenty of different tiers you can choose from with varying prices. If you are interested we encourage you to check out the project, the stretch goal, and to consider contributing!

Everyone at Sandy Pug Games is really excited to make this project a reality, and we’re really looking forward to the stories and worlds our fellow tokusatsu lovers make!

Click here to check out the Kickstarter and to make your pledge! Special thanks to Sandy Pub Games for reaching out and sharing this exciting project with us and the rest of the tokusatsu community! Check out Sandy Pub Games at the links below!

EDITOR’S NOTE: TokuNation.com normally does not endorse crowd-funding campaigns due to continued abuse from creators (the Power Rangers community has been taken for well over $100,000 over years in campaigns that became funded yet never delivered on promised content). However, an exception was made as Sandy Pub Games has items already released in the tabletop RPG community. As always, you pledge to projects at your own discretion and risk.

“A-MA-ZOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN!”

7 years ago, the original S.H. Figuarts Amazon was released, we reviewed it in 2016. Looking back now, that Amazon is an extremely dated figure. Even though for it’s time it was a fantastic addition to any collection, today Bandai spoils us with so much more. Just released this month is the long awaited modern update for Amazon, S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Amazon!

The Shinkocchou Seihou subline has thus far been excellent, there’s no way to diminish how truly wonderful it’s been. But Amazon really ratchets things up. This is by far my favorite release in the line thus far, and one that really goes the distance to recreating the suit and character to near perfect detail. An excellent looking figure at the very least, Amazon also has a wealth of articulation that the original figuart lacked. While it may lack something in the accessories department, there’s no doubt that this is the definitive figure of Kamen Rider Amazon!

You can enjoy 70+ images of Shinkocchou Seihou Amazon after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Coming up soon, a fresh batch of galleries from Ex-Aid, Build, Amazons, and W!

New images from the latest Kamen Rider Zi-O merchandise catalog have been posted online, revealing several details about the further adventures of this anniversary series!

*Kamen Rider Zi-O upgrades to a new form- Kamen Rider Zi-O II! This new configuration splits Zi-O’s suit-literally doubling the watch decals on the chest and helmet.

*Not to be outdone, Kamen Rider Geiz uses a new hourglass-based RideWatch to become Kamen Rider Geiz Revive! The Revive form has multiple configurations- closed armor for defensive combat and open armor for heavy attacks.

But the biggest reveal in this new catalog is the THIRD Kamen Rider joining the adventure! This is our first look at Kamen Rider Woz! The green Rider from Year 2068 uses a new device known as the BeyonDriver along with his unique brand of RideWatchs- the MiraiWatch!

While Zi-O & Geiz channel the powers of past Kamen Riders, Kamen Rider Woz is able to channel the powers of FUTURE Kamen Riders! Three brand-new Riders are shown in Woz’s arsenal- Kamen Rider Shinobi, Kamen Rider Quiz & Kamen Rider Kikai. Using the MiraiWatches from each, Kamen Rider Woz can activate his Futuring Forms.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for Kamen Rider! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Zi-O reveals.

“We need Megazord power, NOW!”

SDCC had some powerful exclusives for Power Rangers collector’s this year. Exclusives that are now making the rounds at a number of North American conventions such as Fan Expo Canada and New York Comic Con. Today, we’re taking a look at by far the most spectacular of these exclusives with the SOC Soul of Chogokin GX-72B Black Megazord! 

The Black Megazord/Daizyujin is an elaborate repaint of the original SOC release, primarily in black, with a plethora of gorgeous gold trim, green accents, and silver chrome. This color scheme is directly inspired by and meant to compliment the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar, which is a bit of a different take on the black repaint tradition than we usually get for MMPR or Zyuranger. Each of the Zords functions identically to the first release, but they look so spectacular in these new colors. We’ve included a number of comparison shots with the first release, with some fun mix & match possibilities as well.

Attached are 120 images of this gorgeous set. You can also read up on our full review of SOC Black Megazord in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t worry if you’ve missed one of it’s various con releases either, it’s being made available through the Tamashii Web Shop in Japan next year as well.
