In just 1 week this years pairing of summer films, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger The Movie: The Dinosaur Lord’s Splendid Ninja Scroll & Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future, will be released in Japanese theaters. As such the related toys for each film are set to be released soon, and new official images have given us the best look yet at them.

For Ninninger we have DX Otomonin EX Dinomaru. This remold of Paonmaru is of course the movie exclusive mecha for this year in the same vein as Safari Ga Oh, Tobaspino, FS0O Frog, and a host of other toys. This figure will be released on August 8th to coincide with the film and retails for 4104 yen.

For Kamen Rider Drive we have a bit of a surprise! Not only will this years movie henshin device set include those used by Drive in the film, the DX Shift Next/Special Car & Tridoron Key, but a third item is also in the mix.

As more details emerge about Kamen Rider Drive’s final form we inch closer to a full reveal. And today we have our clearest look yet at Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron! This is the first time we’ve seen the actual design of the helmet, and I must say it looks very very good. Taking on the characteristics of the Tridoron itself, this form brings Drive’s upgrades and color schemes full circle.

This images is a also bit of a double whammy for news though. Not only does it give us a clear look at Type Tridoron but we also have our first look at the upcoming Shift Next Special Shift Car! A 2-in-1 car, the yellow side allows for Drive Type Special while the black side gives access to Drive Type Next. Type Next would seem to be the form we’ve seen behind the scenes shots of. Both forms are set to appear in this summers’ Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future movie.

Lastly this scan also confirms an unexpected upgrade, using a device called the Tridoron Key it appears that Kamen Rider Mach will be able to access Super/Chou Dead Heat! This silhouette bears a strong resemblance to Mashin Chaser so time will tell if it’s actually for Mach, or possibly for Kamen Rider Chaser.

Hot on the heels of a new Tire Koukan reveal earlier this week in the form of TK-09 Drive Type Formula, we have new images revealing the roleplay toys to go along with that form!

The DX Trailer Cannon is first the thing up. A weapon standard to Drive Type Formula, the Trailer cannon is very clearly based on a tractor trailer which would transport cars. It appears that Shift Cars can be inserted into the cannon by way of a port on top, though there’s no way to confirm if the cannon does or does not shoot the cars as projectiles yet. The Trailer Cannon also includes the Type Formula Shift Car Drive needs to access his new form.

And what would a Trailer styled weapon be without a racing pit crew of Shift Cars? Three additional Shift Cars for Drive Type Formula to use have also been revealed! Shift Mantann F01, based on a gas refueling tank, Shift Jack F02 based on a car jack, and Shift Spanner F03  based on a spanner/wrench.

It certainly looks like Kamen Rider Drive will be turning his racing theme up to 11 as the series progress with Forumla and the yet to be seen Dead Heat as well. We’ll keep you informed of all the new gears this series shifts into as they happen!
