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.

“Now, let’s shake it off!”

Ryu Terui was an ordinary police office like anyone else, until the day that Isaka the Weather Dopant savagely murdered his entire family. With the help of Shroud though, Ryu began a quest for his revenge as Kamen Rider Accel! Now after 7 long years we get our own revenge on the original Accel figuart with this brand new premium style renewal! We finally have, S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Accel!

Seihou Accel is easily one of the best releases in this line so far. Where the original release skimped on details and skewed way off from proper proportions, this release nails every aspect of the design. It’s more vibrantly colored, capable of achieving poses the original simply couldn’t, and conveys Ryu Terui’s personality very well. Fantastically functional, Accel is also equipped with an extra head, two Gaia Memories, 5 sets of hands, and the Engine Blade! As far as premium style releases go, Accel is the full package.

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery to this post, but you can click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the full gallery & review thread as well. Next time I’ll be back with an overdue gallery from Ultra Seven with S.H. Figuarts Alien Metron!

The Tamashii Webshop has just updated us with the latest premium release from their Shinkocchou Seihou line. Following up on the hugely successful releases of Kamen Rider’s W & Accel, it’s time for their movie nemesis to make his debut, S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Eternal!

Eternal looks to possibly be one of the most stunning releases in this line yet. Using the excellent W body mold, Eternal also features the very first poseable cloth cape on a Kamen Rider figuart ever! We’ve seen it on other recent figures like the Dark Knight Trilogy Batman, but this is the first Kamen Rider figure to feature such a cape. Eternal also includes numerous extra hands, Gaia Memory holsters, and his iconic Eternal Edge. This release looks to be the all in one package for W collectors.

Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Eternal is set for release in January 2018 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 7884 yen. Get with your preferred web exclusive service or middleman in the near future to secure your order.

“Electroplate!”

It’s that time again friends! A few weeks back we took at the fantastic new Space Squad release of Gavan Type G. This figure was a long overdue renewal that helped set the stage for the original Metal Hero himself to also receive this treatment. In this case though S.H. Figuarts Space Sheriff Gavan came packaged in a massive set with his unique ride the Saibarian!

Gavan like Type G really needed this renewal treatment. The old Gavan body was a pretty poorly made figure with numerous documented QC issues. While these new releases haven’t been perfect on that front, I’m looking at you chrome finish, they are above and beyond functionally better figures than the old releases. Gavan comes armed with 3 versions of his iconic Laser Blade as well as 4 sets of hands and a Laser Scope head. But the biggest and best accessory is of course the Saibarian! This long overdue bike is a top notch figuarts vehicle. Functionality it can fully transform, it’s got several tamashii stage ports built in for action shots, and despite being plastic, it has some decent heft to it. It’s a shelf presence.

The entire gallery of 150 images is attached to this post but feel free to  “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to read the full review and accessory breakdown as well! Next up on our gallery schedule is S.H. Figuarts Alien Metron from Ultraseven!

If you’ve been enjoying Ultraman Geed and are itching for some S.H.Figuarts, we got some good news for you.

With the recent release of the S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Orb figures, it’s manual does mention something about an S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Geed Primitive Form currently being in development.

Of course, with no actual prototype, there’s no way for us to confirm or deny this. For now, take this with a grain of salt and we’ll provide more info as it becomes available.

Now, count up your sins!

Tamashii World Tour’s next stop is Taipei China, photos from the event have revealed a plethora of S.H.Figuarts, based on characters from the evil Shocker organization.

Gathered together in a rather impressive display, we have two varieties of Shocker Grunts: both in Red and Black along with a bone pattern version and a Gel Shocker variant. What’s more is that these appear to be utilizing new bodies! 

In addition to that, they are of course joined by the big bads themselves: Great Leader of Gel Shocker, and Ambassador Hell in his Garagaranda form.

Do note that for now none of these figures have been confirmed for release, as each figure only has a Display only tag next to their names. Stay tuned though, and we’ll provide more up to date info as it becomes available.
