“MAYDAY MAYDAY S.O.S.!”

No surprise after all this time, but Tokkei Winspector is my absolute favorite Metal Heroes series. One of my all time tokusatsu period. And over the last two years Tamashii Nations has really treated fans like myself to a great selection of collector figures. We’ve gotten the entire team with Fire, Bikel, & Walter! And late last year a massive accessory pack was released for the trio. Well at long last I’ve been able to complete my comprehensive gallery of this set. The S.H. Figuarts Tokkei Winspector Full Package Option Set!

This sprawling accessory set makes up the totality of every relevant accessory ever used in the series. From Bikel & Walter’s Maintenance tables to Fire’s Win/Fire Badge, even minor weapons like the Clapper & Spin Claw, all the way up to the (literal) big guns like the Giga Streamer in all 3 of it’s forms! We even get treated to 3 full Multi Packs compatible with each figure and a selection of harness to accommodate them. This truly is the most complete accessory set I’ve ever seen for S.H. Figuarts. I am beyond pleased.

I have taken far far too long to finally get this gallery polished off, but I’m so proud of the results. This was a labor of love for me. Giving my favorite Metal Hero team their due. This gallery consists of 140 images, we’ve attached every one of them to this post. You can also click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be take to our extensive review thread for this set. While there are still a few releases I would love to see for this series, as detailed in the thread, for now I can happily say, farewell Winspector.

A special “Tamashii Caravan” event recently took place at the Parco store in Fukuoka, and among the numerous figure displays was the reappearance of the S.H. Figuarts Shocker figures previously seen at the Tamashii World Tour stop in Tapei!

However this time in addition to the new body Shocker Combatmen, Great Leader and Garagaranda figures, the evil organisation was also joined by the fiddler crab monster Shiomaneking! As well as battling against Kamen Riders 1 and 2 in the original series, Shiomaneking would also go on to be revived in Kamen Rider V3 as well appearing in numerous crossover movies and even the Zyuohger crossover episode with Kamen Rider Ghost!

While it’s important to note that none of these figures have a release date yet, Bandai Tamashii Nation‘s new interest in the wider world of Kamen Rider villains is very exciting! We’ll bring you more news as it comes!

Also revealed yesterday, with an official image & info dump overnight, was none other than S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Brave Legacy Gamer Level 100! Brave’s ultimate form is a bit of an out there release as Bandai has chosen to skip his mide-tier Level 50 Taddle Fantasy form to go straight to this. Chances are Taddle Legacy’s performance will determine whether or not Fantasy is ever released.

Brave Legacy Gamer Level 100 is set for release as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in March 2018 for 6480 yen. Be sure to contact your preferred Tamashii Web Exclusive middleman or service in the near future to secure your order soon.

In a double whammy surprise reveal @_Erasu on twitter has just dropped a couple bombshells on two sought after figures from two recent rider shows. First up we have the reveal S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Brave Legacy Gamer Level 100! Yet another instance of Bandai skipping past some forms from Ex-Aid in favor of more recent or popular ones, but I doubt we’ll see too many complaining about this one. Second, we have the the long awaited S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Blind Alpha. The primary differences between this release and the original of course include the new blind head, as well as an included Amazon heart for Jin to chow down on!

Order pages with official release info have yet to go up for either of these new releases, but we know both will be Tamashii Web Exclusives. Tonight order pages will officially go live and we’ll be sure to update this article with all the pertinent information you need to make arrangements with your favorite middleman service!

“Hyper Cast Off.”

There’s only one man who can walk the path of heaven. And while it’s been a long time coming, Bandai is finally tackling Kamen Rider Kabuto’s most powerful form with a new Shinkocchou Seihou figuart. However, with this premium do over on the way (as always) we like to reflect on the original figure that needed an update in the first place. With that said, let’s take a look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kabuto Hyper Form (original Release.)

The original Kabuto Hyper Form was released nearly 7 years ago. In terms of where figuarts engineering is today, that’s an eternity. Many releases from this era have begun the transition into the Shinkocchou Seihou line but many more still need it as well. Hyper Kabuto though manages to still be a charming figure even after all these years thanks to a fairly involved Clock Up transformation, his Perfect Zecter, & the included wings of light for his Hyper Kick. What we’ve seen of the Shinkocchou Seihou release already puts this one to shame, but for a collector on a budget the original release of Kabuto Hyper Form is still a worthwhile alternative.

“I’ll have you beaten in five moves.”

Before Dangerous Zombie there was another rider of the undead. A dark science experiment using human flesh & Amazon cells, Jun Maehara returned from the dead as a cold killing machine. Finally making his figuarts debut, the third & most dangerous Amazon rider arrives. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Sigma!

Amazon Sigma is the first use of the new Wild/Origin body. Surely a hint that Amazon Omega Origin will be released sometime in the future? In any case, this is a great new mold. Some sharp mold details and exquisite paint apps also go a long way to giving this menacing character the proper presence and personality he deserves. Included with Sigma are 3 sets of extra hands ass well as a set of the popular Tamashii Flame Effects in purple.

We’ll be back next week with a throwback gallery of an older release from Kamen Rider Kabuto!

Kamen Rider Paradox is yet another Tamashii Web Exclusive coming down the pipeline for a January 2018 release. Including his Gashacon Parabragun & 3 sets of hands, Paradox will retail for 6480 yen.

The golden age of poseable Kaiju figures is upon us! Ever since Tamashii Nations made the line transition for Ultraman figures Ultra-Act to S.H. Figuarts the biggest benefactors of that have been Kaiju. Long forgotten in the Ultra-Act line, we now have some really great functional figure alternatives to Bandai’s long line of Ultra Kaiju vinyls. In the spirit of the lines success it’s time to look at an often forgotten Kaiju from Ultra Seven with S.H. Figuarts Alien Metron!

Do you like deadly sci-fi cigarettes? Interested in squid like alien monsters? Well then, Bandai’s got you covered on both counts with Alien Metron. This iconic Kaiju faced off against Ultra Seven in the 8th episode of his own series culminating in the classic table scene with the one and only Dan Moroboshi! This figuart of Metron is probably my favorite of the Kaiju released so far. A figure with tons of personality and display options, Alien Metron will be a great addition to any Ultraman collection.
