In case you missed it, Bandai announced that a quadruple whammy of Ultraman R/B S.H.Figuarts figures were coming our way. Since the initial announcement, the official product page for Ultraman R/B  was recently updated with release info for S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Rosso Wind and Ultraman Blu Ground.

Both forms will see a May 2019 release for 5400 yen. Thanks to some data mining from TendouToys via Twitter, we can confirm that S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Rosso Wind will, in fact, be a Tamashii web exclusive release with pre-orders beginning later in August.

While it wasn’t confirmed, we can only assume that the same announcement will be made for S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Blu Ground as well. Be sure to stay tuned to Tokunation, and we’ll bring you all the latest updates as they’re made available. In the meantime, enjoy this preview teaser that went up on Tamashii Nation’s official youtube page:

“Dragon in Cross-Z Charge!”

Having finally discovered his reason to fight, Ryuga Banjou took on the most dangerous driver to face the Hokuto Three. Using the Sclash Driver Banjou’s already tremendous strength overflowed from his new rampaging form. Fueled by the Dragon Sclash Jelly, Banjou’s power finally runs wild in our gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z Charge! 

Following up from our gallery of the standard Kamen Rider Cross-Z last month, Cross-Z Charge is an entirely new mold. Decked out in a really gorgeous silver paint scheme, this figure is also adorned by some frankly perfect translucent blue plastic. An already excellent looking figure in hand, Cross-Z Charge also includes his Twin Breaker weapon, capable of changing from Beam to Attack Mode very easily. The re-packed Cross-Z Dragon and Dragon Full Bottle as well as a removable Sclash Jelly, all of which can interact with the Twin Breaker, also make this a really fantastic release.

Check out the complete 65 image gallery of Cross-Z Charge after the jump by clicking “Discss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’re bringing another SDCC 2018 Exclusive gallery your way next!

With Kamen Rider Zi-O heralding the end of the Heisei Era for Kamen Rider, and in commemoration of the 20th Heisei Rider himself, Tamashii Nations has announced the S.H. Figuarts Heisei Riders Rising Project!

The Rising Project announcement promises the reveal of 3 new Heisei Rider figuarts in the near future. The first of these 3 riders will be revealed on August 24th. Currently speculation is running wild as to what these 3 figures will actually be. Will this be Kiva’s time? There’s Zi-O which begins airing next month  as well, so now would be an ideal time to reveal his first figuart. Then there’s the possibility that 1 or more of these figures could be a Shinkocchou Seihou renewal of an out of date release like OOO, Fourze, or even Faiz.

Exactly who these 3 Heisei Riders are, is something we’ll be watching closely in the coming weeks. So we’ll be sure to keep the community up to date!

under Ultraman

Well, Bandai is certainly wasting no time with these S.H.Figuarts Ultraman R/B releases. Earlier, Bandai announced that we weren’t getting just one, or two S.H.Figuarts Ultraman R/B figures but FOUR with the announcement of Rosso Fire, Rosso Wind, along with Blu Water and Blue Ground. and tie it all together: we have a tease banner showing out first look at S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Orb Dark!

S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Orb Dark appears to have been added to the Tamashii Nations batch of exclusives, so, for now, we don’t really know if Bandai plans on releasing this one outside of events. Either way, S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Orb Dark will cost about 5,980 yen. 

As always,  be sure to stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll bring you more updated info on this piece as it becomes available.

SELECT, CRYSTAL!

Bandai was certainly quick to hop aboard the S.H.Figuarts Ultraman R/B train this year, here are our first teaser images for the S.H.Figaurts Ultraman R/B line.

Four Figuarts were shown: S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Rosso Flame, S.H.Figuarts Blu Water, S.H.Figuarts Rosso Wind, and finally S.H.Figuarts Blu Ground along with what appears to be personalized Tamashii Act stage stands to correspond with each Ultraman form.

The four will be released at Mass retail, Rosso Flame and Blu Aqua will come out December 2018 while Ground and Wind will come out January it’s unclear if the stands will be included as part of the accessory count or as a first run pre order bonus of some kind. 

Of course, this is all merely speculative based on what little information we currently have available. Stay tuned to Tokunation, and we’ll be sure to give you more up to date info as soon as it becomes available.

“Build Change!”

Kamen Rider Build is swiftly approaching it’s conclusion. After next week’s break we only have 2 episodes left to go. So it’s time to take a look at something that hasn’t made an appearance on the show for quite a while. The S.H. Figuarts Machine Builder is not only Sento’s Rider Machine but also his personal cell phone!

While we’ve certainly seen the Machine Builder capable of assuming both modes in DX toy form, the best way to get both out of this vehicle is in fact, to split them up. The Figuart opts for being a full bike for Kamen Rider Build to ride, while including it’s Build Phone mode as an entirely separate accessory. Which speaking of accessories, this set also includes a number of additional hands as well as Build Rabbit/Tank Form’s signature weapon, the Drill Crusher, in both of it’s modes. There’s a lot to love about this release if you’re looking for the complete setup for Rabbit/Tank.

You can check out the full 40 image gallery of this set by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’re back with the first of a trio of SDCC 2018 Exclusive galleries!

“Wake Up! Cross-Z Dragon!”

Ryuga Banjou has been through the ringer the last few years. A former boxer, Banjou has been framed for murder, lost the love of his life, become a Kamen Rider, and then there’s that stretch with the evil alien trying to take destroy the world. Today’s gallery takes us back to Banjou’s beginnings, when he was still learning what it meant to be a hero. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z is here!

Cross-Z is Banjou’s first outing in the Figuarts toyline with his 2nd form, Cross-Z Charge, releasing this week as well. Cross-Z though, is a really great repaint & remold of the basic Build Rabbit/Tank Form with a few dynamic changes that go a long way to selling it as a brawler form. While there are admittedly some minor issues with articulation, the figure looks wonderful in hand and the included Beat Crosser is the perfect accessory for it.

We’ve attached the full 55+ image gallery to this post but you can also check out our full review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’ll be back for another Kamen Rider Build gallery with S.H. Figuarts Machine Builder!

In case you missed it, S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z Magma was revealed just a few days ago, thanks to a series of heavily watermarked Figureoh magazine scans. Clearer images are beginning to come out and we can finally make out the release details for this hot new figure.

S.H.Figuarts Cross Z Magma will be released as a Tamashii Webshop exclusive, priced at 6480 yen. You can look forward to adding this piece into your Kamen Rider Build collection in January 2019. In the meantime, stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll update you as soon as this figure is made available for pre-order!

While a heavily watermarked scan from Figure Oh appeared yesterday confirming that this release was on the way, we now have a great selection of in hand images as well. The next release from Kamen Rider Build will be S.H. Figuarts Hell Bros!

The combined form of Engine Bros & Remocon Bros, Hell Bros is the first of the Kaiser family of characters to be released in the line. The official S.H. Figuarts Blog has shared this selection of in hand prototype images giving us a great idea of what to expect from the final release. Based on the excellent Night Rogue/Blood Stalk mold, Hell Bros looks like he’ll fit in just perfectly with your Build Collection.

While release month & price are not included in the blog post, we do know that pre-orders will begin through the Tamashii Web Shop on July 27th. We’ll let you know when final official images, and release info are available.

Tamashii Nations 2018 is just around the corner, and thanks to the official @t_features twitter we have confirmation of the two tokusatsu exclusives for the show.

First up is a repaint of the well received Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider 1 S.H. Figuart in Sakurajima colors. Since Tamashii seems to be working backwards from the “Shin Rider 1” design, how long until we get Hongo in his original colors? Rider 1 will retail for 6480 yen.

“Oh no!” The Black Hazard arrives continuing the pattern of black repaint event exclusives with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Tank Hazard Form! With Hazard confirmed at last, could we see Rabbit/Rabbit or Tank/Tank as well as Genius on the horizon? Here’s hoping. Hazard Form will retail for 6480 yen as well.

Both exclusives will be available at Tamashii Nations 2018, October 26th-28th.
