We’ve all had those days where nothing seems to go right. When it comes to collecting in-demand S.H. Figuarts there is probably nobody who knows that more right now than Ranger Liz. For those not in the know, Ranger Liz is a growing YouTube personality that covers Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Ultraman, and Power Rangers with weekly streams and near-daily updates.

Liz, like so many of us, had pre-ordered S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kiva through her local GameStop store months ago after being unable to pre-order one from Japan (due to them selling out in a matter of two to three minutes). Her pre-order was secured and she was ready to go. Months went by and the figure was released – but Liz received no communication from her GameStop store. She reached out numerous times and was told her order was still pending. Finally, on August 18th, she went to the store and talked to the staff personally.

They had claimed they had tried to reach her repeatedly, leaving voicemails even, and due to a lack of communication from her, either sold it or sent it back to the warehouse. Naturally Liz was crushed. Overcome with emotion she shared a very heartfelt video to her followers about her sheer devastation regarding the one Kamen Rider figure she wanted more than any other and, after believing for so long that she had it secured, had it ripped away. To top it off – she was offered $5 store credit and nothing more for the inconvenience.

Enter Bluefin Brands.

Bluefin Brands is the distributor branch of Bandai in North America for Tamashii Nations product. They were pinged on Twitter regarding this story and, within a couple of hours, had reached out to Liz.

We’re happy to report that Ranger Liz will be receiving her S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kiva after all courtesy of the incredibly generous and endearing folks at Bluefin Brands. They didn’t have to reach out to Liz nor did they have to turn her day around – but they did and that speaks volumes.

Please take a moment to check out an awesome product they’ve put together for tokusatsu fans – a Tokusatsu Blind Box which can contain product of Power Rangers, Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, and Ultraman. For $100 you will receive three S.H. Figuarts of the above-mentioned properties. On top of that some lucky fans will also receive, for free, the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord. Click here to check it out and purchase.

Thanks for being an awesome company Bluefin!

“Armor Time! Level Up! GenM!

In a future that should never have been, Kuroto Dan has truly become a king. Chosen by the Time Jackers to rule in his own way, Kuroto Dan has become Another OOO! Luckily for our heroes Geiz has acquired the GenM Ridewatch, and travelling to 2016 will fight the Bugster God before his corrupted future can take place. Buying time until Sougo can obtain the power of OOO, Geiz will fight this counterfeit king and his Yummies as Kamen Rider Geiz GenM Armor!

Geiz GenM Armor is another solid entry for the Zi-O family of S.H. Figuarts.  While ostensibly a remold of the base Geiz figure, it’s actually just an extensive repaint of Zi-O Build Armor with a handful of new parts. In a striking black and purple colors scheme, with a Rider Gauge of it’s own, Proto Mighty Action X Gashat shoulders, and that signature Ex-Aid style hair, this armor evokes the menace of Kuroto Dan wonderfully. Though it may not come with any real accessories, if you own any other GenM figures, I’d say this figure can find a perfect home in your collection.

This Two-Pack will retail for 12,100 yen at the event. Accessories include the Ultra Zero Lance and a myriad of optional expressive hands.

Way back at the Tamashii Shanghai event, we got our first look at a possible release for Ultraman X’s Bemstar Armor. Though things have been quiet since, Tamashii just stealthily announced last night that a full Mons Armor set with 3 armors is on the way for X!

The S.H. Figuarts Ultraman X Mons Armor Option Parts Set will include the Bemstar, Eleking, and Zetton Armors! You’ll of course need the base Ultraman X S.H. Figuart to make use of these Armors. The set also includes X’s unique Xanadium Ray effect part, a color time to use with it, and a special display base to hold the effect. This huge set of upgrades retails for just 7150 yen, and will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in January 2020.

Ultraman Taiga is the latest show in the franchise, and with the series having just premired last month, the time was ripe to add the titular hero to the popular S.H.Figuarts toy line with pre-orders having just opened(at the time of this writing) for S.H.Figuats Ultraman Taiga!

S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Taiga will be joining the December batch of Tamashii Nations mass retail releases. He will include four sets of swappable hands and an alternate color timer. All of this will retail for a low cost of 3250 yen.

In the immortal words of Woz,
“Rejoice! He is heir to the power of all riders”.

Kamen Rider Zi-O is nearing it’s end and the impending start of the Reiwa Era of Kamen Rider is on the horizon. And as this series and the Heisei Era come to an end, Tamashii Nations has just released the first of Zi-O’s power ups in figure form. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O Build Armor is the first stepping stone along Sougo Tokiwa’s path to the future where he rules. Will he be a benevolent overlord, or succumb to the evils of Oma Zi-O? Time will tell.

For now, we’re tackling this first in a line of Zi-O Armor Time upgrades in the same we always have, with a comprehensive gallery & review! Zi-O Build Armor set the standard for what was to come with many of the shows’ various power ups as well as many that never made it in. This figure likewise sets an incredibly solid & stable standard for how the Zi-O line should progress from here on. A stylish figure with tons of personality inherited from both of it’s parent designs, and armed with the Drill Crusher Crusher (yes!) it’s an excellent addition to the power set of this benevolent overlord.

Check out a full 50+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O Build Armor after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.  If you’d like to take a look back at the designs that influence this figure you can check out our galleries of Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Tank Form and Kamen Rider Zi-O!

As part of the merchandise push for the new Ultra Galaxy Fight New Generation Heroes series, Tamashii Nations has partnered with Tsuburaya Productions to release two new Ultraman S.H. Figuarts!

Joining the long tradition of the black repaint, two more evil ultra doppelgangers will debut in Ultra Galaxy Fight. Ultraman X Darkness & Ultraman Geed Darkness! These gorgeous red black and purple repaints of the heroic ultras were revealed in tandem with this new Youtube series this morning, though no official release details have been announced at this point. Tamashii has confirmed they will be commercialized so it’s only a matter of time before we find out the release pattern for these two. We’ll update this story when that information is released.

“WAKE UP!”

Shy, anxious, fearful, Wataru Kurenai would rather craft violins like his father Otoya. But as the son of the Fangire Queen as well, he was destined to become Kamen Rider Kiva, the Fangire King! And like the King’s before him Wataru has one trusted partner, a member of the Kivat family, Kivat Bat III. With Kivat in tow, Wataru sets out to fight Fangires and protect humanity, just as his father did (occasionally) 20 years prior. Now it’s time to break the chains on a review we’ve waited years for with S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva!

As the Heisei Era ends, Tamashii Nations has at long last delivered on the promise of completing the 20 Heisei Riders! With Kamen Rider Kiva, the entire lineup of main riders is complete, and let me say, it’s incredibly satisfying. Kiva brings to a close an era of incredible heroes and does so in gorgeous fashion. With the trademark accuracy and engineering of the Seihou line, Kiva looks as though he walked right off the set. Including his 6 Fuestles, the Hell’s Gate leg for his Rider Kick, a Ridewatch Tamashii Stage, and the ever present Kivat Bat III, Kiva is a tremendously welcome sight to any Kamen Rider collection.

You can check out our full 100 image gallery below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums at the bottom of this post. It features not only the 20 Heisei Riders, but also as many Kiva cameos as I could make happen including TV riders Ixa, Rising Ixa, Emperor Kiva, & Dark Kiva, movie villains Kamen Riders Rey and Arc, & even Decade’s own Kiva-La! Please join in the discussion and let us know what you think of this release which finally closes out the Heisei Era. Next time, it’s Armor Time with a brand new gallery from Kamen Rider Zi-O!
