Tsubureru! Nagareru! Afurederu!
In case you missed it, Kamen Rider Grease will be the next entry into S.H.Figuart’s Kamen Rider Build release, and since it’s unveiling sometime ago, the pre order page has now gone live, and we’re given another clearer look at this release.
Pre-Orders for this piece are set to begin March 23rd, 2018. Currently slated for release August 2018, S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Grease will retail for 6,264 yen.
Hailing from Ultraseven‘s 2-part finale “The Greatest Invasion in History” comes the two-headed kaiju Pandon, vanguard of the Alien Ghos! After initially giving a severely weakened Ultraseven trouble in their first battle, the giant was able to slice off the monster’s arm and leg causing it to retreat. When it returned, the Ghos had augmented it into Reconstructed Pandon, which Ultraseven was eventually able to defeat before flying off to return to Nebula M78.
S.H. Figuarts Pandon comes packaged with a replacement mechanical left arm and right leg, alternate decapitated head and Eye Slugger part. The figure is a Tamashii web exclusive release due to arrive in August 2018, priced 8100 yen. Preorders will open tomorrow.
Will Pandon be joining your S.H. Figuarts collection? Check out the full selection of images and let us know after the jump!
Yesterday we brought you the news that S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Ibuki was finally being released, and now Tamashii Nations have confirmed just when you can get your hands on the next Kamen Rider Hibiki Oni and for just how much.
Kamen Rider Ibuki will release in August 2018 as a Tamashii web exclusive, for the price of 7020 yen. Like Hibiki he also comes with a wide selection of accessories, including four additional pairs of hands, alternate belt parts, his Onibue Onteki whistle transformation device in both folded and unfolded states, 3 different disk animals (in disk form) and of course his signature Ongekikan Reppuu trumpet.
Hopefully this means release information for Kamen Riders Zanki and Todoroki will follow soon! Will you be adding S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Ibuki to your collection? Let us know in the discussion linked!

The latest release from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has arrived and the Bugster Parad is here to prove he’s still on Emu’s level! Using the powerful Gashat Gear Dual with a Gamer Driver produces a unique fusion of Parad’s two powerful level 5o forms as S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Para-DX Perfect Knockout Gamer Level 99!
Para-DX Level 99 is so far the 2nd figuart we’ve gotten of this character (along with the L Mighty Brother), but this time it’s quite a bite more of a unique one. Level 99 is a powerful and imposing looking form with an array of special abilities. In figure terms, Level 99 is a gorgeously ornate figure that despite the loincloth/skirt has a dynamic range of movement that brings him to life. Armed with the Gashcon Parabragun and 3 sets of hands, Para-DX Level 99 should be a welcome addition for any Ex-Aid Display.
We’ve attached the full gallery of 60+ images to this post, but you can also check out our full review of Para-DX Level 99 by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in the near future with a trio of galleries from Pacific Rim Uprising as well some from Kamen Rider W and the original Kamen Rider TV series.
After a nearly 4 year long wait, and several appearances at Tamashii Nations events in the last year, a new Shinkocchou Seihou release is finally on the way from Kamen Rider Hibiki! Joining the ranks of this top quality sub-line of special releases is Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Ibuki!
Kamen Rider Ibuki was the secondary rider of Hibiki’s TV series. The youngest of the original 3 Oni of the series, Ibuki abandoned his human name (Iori Izumi) once he gained his powers. This figure appears to gorgeously replicate Ibuki every bit as well as the line did with Hibiki years ago. Ibuki will include his Ongekikan Reppuu trumpet-gun, a set of disc animals, his Oni Whistle for transforming, and several more accessories.
We don’t have the exact release details available yet, but given the release of these partial images, a full set as well as that retail information will be available shortly. We’ll update you as soon as we can! Credit to @_Erasu for digging up these initial images as well.
Tamashii Nations’ Akiba Showroom recently updated it’s displays, and among them is a brand new figure as well as a few returning faces from previous events!
First up is the first appearance of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Grease, who like his fellow Sclash Driver user Cross-X charge utilises translucent plastic parts on the face and chest. There is no release date information for the Kamen Rider Build character as of yet, however at the time of writing it is being reported as a Tamashii web exclusive.
Next up are two more figures from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid – Kamen Rider Cronus and Kamen Rider Genm God Maximum Gamer Level 1000000000. These figures have been seen at previous Tamashii events, and although Genm is a repaint of the (currently unreleased) Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Maximum Gamer Level 99 figure it’s reappearance here has been well-timed with the release of the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: Another Ending V-Cinema trilogy in which it debuts. Again, neither of these figures currently have release dates but Cronus is being reported as a web exclusive.
Check out the full-sized images after the jump and we’ll bring you more information on these figures as it comes!

GenM Level 0 reuses the popular Ex-Aid Level 2 body once again, and this go around comes with a couple new accessories that are must haves for Kuroto. The Gashacon Breaker Sword, the Bugvisor Zwei, a remaining Life Counter, and even a Shin Dan Kuroto effect sheet! This is a must have for fans of the Gamer Master himself.
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider GenM Action Gamer Level 0 will be released in July for 6264 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive.

Tamashii Nations has just released the formula for victory with the first entry in the Kamen Rider Build figuarts subline! Our titular hero himself arrives as S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Form!
Build Rabbit Tank is our first experience with this line and as such needs to set the bar for where it goes from here. Many people were disappointed when this figure was announced because of the lack of the Build Crusher weapon in either of it’s forms. Honestly the accessories are very lite, including only 2.5 sets of hands. Luckily Kamen Rider Build makes up for this to me by being a very well designed and proportioned figure. He seems to have jumped right off the screen. Opinions will of course vary, but thus a figure that I think will look great in any collection.
We’ve attached the full 80 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. We’ll be back soon with a trio of galleries from Kamen Riders W & Ex-Aid as well as Zyuranger!
In the last 7 years I’ve had the opportunity to review some seriously unique and interesting pieces for this website. Honestly though I think nothing has ever been quite as unique as what I have to share with you today. I’ve recently come into possession of a special Pre-Production Factor Sample of the S.H. Figuarts Hakaider Squad! While Kikaider & Hakaider related products may not necessarily be something of personal interest to each of you, this figure offers us a rare look at what goes into the process of creating a repaint and remold of a previous release.
Yes, this figure is indeed a true blue working sample used to model new parts. At it’s base level it’s your standard Hakaider body. But after disassembly and study, you can see several areas where new parts from the final Hakaider Squad figures were integrated for testing purposes. The new biceps and face are dead giveaways. More than that though we also have the anti-theft paint job, as well as the trademark hole drilled through the figures’ chest that numerous Tamashii display samples have had through out the years.
We’ve attached the full 40 image gallery of this unique item to this post, but please read through the in depth breakdown of what makes this factory sample what it is after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full thread.
Next time, “Rabbit! Tank! Best Match!”
