A full scan of the recently-uncovered Kamen Rider Drive merchandise catalog is now online! Translation of this material provides several key insights into the upcoming new series- but still, ALL Kamen Rider Drive details are UNCONFIRMED BY OFFICIAL SOURCES AT THIS TIME. That being said, here’s what the catalog has to offer:

*The collectible gimmick for this season is Shift Cars -small vehicles that interact with the Drive Driver to unlock new powers. Apparently Drive has at least three combat Types- Speed Type, Wild Type and Technical Type. Future Shift Car releases may lead to even more fighting Types.

*Kamen Rider Drive’s main weapons are the Handle Sword (literally a steering wheel with a sword attached; turning the wheel charges the sword’s power) and the Door Gun (a handheld blaster; slamming the door reloads the gun).

*The scans also offer a brief look at a different character, presumably Drive’s rival- Machin Chaser! This character uses a different weapon- the Brake Gunner but his combat Types remain unknown.

Despite everything we have learned from this new merchandise catalog, we still have no real look at Kamen Rider Drive himself! We can only hope this changes in the near future, and until then we ask you join in our ongoing Discussion Thread to share your thoughts on the 16th Hesei-Era merchandise line!

We may at last have our first look at the merchandise relating to Kamen Rider Drive! Keep in mind all details relating to these images are currently unconfirmed.

Some new catalog images have provided us an early look at the DX Drive Driver– the transformation device for the 16th Hesei-era Kamen Rider. In addition, Drive will be armed with another device known as the Shift Bracelet -which seems very similar to the ToQ Changer. The exact powers & effects of both devices remains unknown at this time.

In addition the catalogs contain an image of the red car previously seen in reported behind-the-scenes photographs. Now at last we have a name for Kamen Rider Drive’s vehicle- Trideron!

Still missing, sadly, is an image of Kamen Rider Drive himself. With these details now online the official reveal of this new series may be upon us very soon, so stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Drive news!

LOCK ON! 

k2eizo has a juicy new Gaim video for us: taking a look at the Capsule Lock Seed series 9, containing Orange, Banana, Grape, Melon, and Durian!

You might be thinking “Didn’t we get those already?” and yes, we did however the fresh twist here is that these Locks contain phrases recorded from their respective actors designed to work intandom with the pre-existing sounds, much like the Phillip and Shotaro Gaia Memory from W. The neat thing is that while in the Sengoku Driver, you’ll get extra phrases instead of the usual Au lait, Sparking, and Squash sounds.

Last week came the revelation that the Power Rangers Legacy toyline is far from over.  It was thanks to @razzle1337 on twitter that we learned of the existence of these upcoming items. Now we’ve got a little more clarity for what these upcoming items will be like. Updated info from Raz via TRU’s computer system indicates:

Legacy Movie 5” Figure – $16.99
– Assortment# 97020
– Toys R Us Item Number# 207678
– 6 Figure UPC’s found
– Figures from MMPR Movie
– Replicate original packaging
– Includes 1 battle gear item
– Assortment includes Ivan Ooze

Legacy Saba – $99.99
– Assortment# 97165
– Toys R Us Item Number# 206345
– Highly detailed replica
– Show accurate speaking
– Tiger animatronics
– Die cast
– Lights and sound

White Tigerzord – $79.99
– Assortment# 97205
– Toys R Us Item Number# 207708
– Die cast

These juicy tidbits reveal that not only will we be getting at least 5  Power Ranger from the original theatrical film but also Ivan Ooze! Though it’s curious that Ivan would be in the assortment but there would be only 6 UPC’s total, 1 ranger may be left out in the initial assortments then. 

Legacy Saba will feature diecast as well as animatronic features for his mouth ensuring total accuracy.  And this new batch of info brings confirmation that the Legacy Tigerzord will feature the zordbuilder system. Love it or hate it the system appears to be here to stay. The information provided even specifically alludes to the Tigerzord’s ability to combine or “Morph” with the Dragonzord!

Time for another official image dump! Bandai of Japan has just updated their official Ressha Sentai ToQger pages with new official images of:

  • DX Goseiger Ressha
  • DX Gokaiger Ressha
  • DX Yuudou Breaker (with Drill Ressha)

Goseiger & Gokaiger Resshas follow in the footsteps of the Kyoryuger & Go-Busters Resshas, all of which can form new heads and chest pieces for the DX ToQ Oh, each one resembling the main mecha of their respective series. The Yuudou Breaker is the personal weapon of the soon to be seen ToQ 6 and will include his Drill Ressha!

Check these new images out after the jump!

under Super Sentai

As speculated earlier in the series it seems ToQger will feature a new power up, Hyper Mode!

Accessible through the Hyper Ressha, Hyper Mode gives the ToQger’s bright golden train armor for the chest and shoulders. Something very reminiscent of the Super Goseigers. Though for now this power up is confirmed only to be used by ToQ 1 it’s entirely possible that the other members may have access to it as well!

These magazine scan also show us our first image of Hyper Mode in toy form with the ToQ 1 Hyper Mode vinyl. We get a great look a the DX Daikaiten Cannon which includes the Hyper Ressha. And we get looks at the very first Shadow Line vinyls! General Schwarz and the Kuros!

under Super Sentai

We now have our first real look at ToQ 6’s arsenal!

The Orange newcomer transforms using the smartphone-based Appli Changer which is sold with the DX Build Ressha, not to be confused with the larger DX Build Resshas that make up his robo. The Appli Changer is priced at 3500 Yen.

ToQ 6’s main weapon is the Yudou Breaker which includes the DX Drill Ressha. Buying the Breaker will set you back 4200 Yen.

Both items should be released by the end of June! Keep an eye on your favorite retailers if you want to add these to your collections!
