Chang, Stag Beetle!

We’re trying something a little new this month at TokuNation. Or rather, something old. Recently we took a look at the original release of Kuuga Ultimate Form, ahead of his Shinkocchou Seihou renewal. Well today we’re going to take a look at another older release that’s about to be made obsolete by his S.S. replacement, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gattack!

The 4th release from the Kabuto line in 2008, Kamen Rider Gattack is showing his age quite a bit these days. While serviceable for the era he was released in, Gattack suffers from more than a few QC issues common at the time. On the flip side if you aren’t looking to drop the 6480 yen that the Shinkocchou Seihou release will run you next month, then the original Gattack may do the trick.

We’ve attached a selection of photos to this article but enjoy over 50 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gattack in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We”ll bring you a full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Gattack next month!

At long last the FINAL Showa Kamen Rider has finally been scheduled for release! Arriving in January 2017 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive is the long waited S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider J!

Not only completing the trio of Showa Movie Riders from the mid 90’s, Kamen Rider J is also the last of the Showa riders overall to be released as a figuart. Which is really fitting when you consider he was featured in the last Showa Rider production.  J will include two full sets of hands, an additional right hand featuring his signature “J” pose, J’s sidekick grasshopper Berry, and an alternate set of wings for Berry!

Kamen Rider J finally rounds out the Showa era of riders but we’re still missing two Heisei Riders right now (G & Kiva). We wonder how long it will be before those gaps are filled as well. Does J’s release bode well for either of them? What do you think? Time will tell. And be sure to get in touch with your preferred middleman or Tamashii Web Exclusive service when orders open to secure one. You can find a list of some such sites here.

Chou Henshin!

My how time flies, it was only yesterday that S.H. Figuarts was starting to make it’s presence known in the era of Kamen Rider the First/Next & Decade. But the line has evolved in incredible ways since then, so it’s not often we take a step back with it. This month sees the release of Bandai’s latest  premium style renewal with  S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. But before we get our hands on it, we wanted to turn back the clock with this figure from 2010, the original release of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form!

A dated figure by today’s standards, the original Kuuga Ultimate Form was actually pretty great. A solid sculpt with intricate paint apps, the then standard diecast feet, Toss in an abnormally decent accessory count, and that made this figuart one of the better releases for it’s day.  But how does it hold up today? We’ve included 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form in the full gallery thread as well as a lengthy reviews detailing the ins & outs of this aging mold.

Consider this gallery prep work for our upcoming look at S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. Just based on official images alone it looks to be one of the most impressive figuarts releases this year. We’ll have the full gallery ready for you in a couple weeks!
