As the Kamen Rider line of S.H. Figuarts continues, inevitably older releases go up in value. This has been especially true for the incredibly popular line of Shinkocchou Seihou renewal type figuarts. To date, of the myriad Seihou releases, only Kamen Rider Kabuto has ever received a reissue and that was two years after it’s initial release. Today that may change.

In confirming new items releasing in October, Tamashii Nations has announced S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga (Decade Ver.). Kamen Rider Kuuga, or a version of him at least, played a significant role as a support character throughout the Kamen Rider Decade TV series and it’s movies. Mighty Form Kuuga was the most often seen form in Decade as well, though it should be noted that all of Decade Kuuga’s forms are identical to the original save for an additional form. So the exact nature of this “Decade Version” is unknown currently.

Does being specifically branded as the “Decade Version” allow Tamashii to circumvent some of their own self imposed rules for reissues like the Premium Color line of Dragonball figuarts? Or does this imply that the figure has some new accessories exclusive to the Kuuga version of the character? One thing to note, is the official image used to announce the figure. It’s completely new, as in, it’s not from the set of photos released for the original Seihou Kuuga orders. It would be quite odd of Tamashii to do a brand new photo shoot for a figure that has pre-existing official photos, unless there are new accessories in play. We’ll continue to report any more new information made available for this release.

Confirmed via a new Figure King scan, the Shinkocchou Seihou Garo line is growing by one more new release!

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga Saejima Version will look quite familiar to most collectors. Raiga’s golden knight form is actually identical to his father Kouga’s aside from one very small detail. The eye color. Kouga’s version of the armor featured green eyes, while notably Raiga’s armor has blue eyes. Should Bandai want to triple dip on this mold they could even do Kouga’s father Taiga. His armor featured red eyes.

While we don’t have any sort of confirmation of the figure’s accessories, it’s a safe bet that they’d be identical to the first release. Though there’s some hope of some alternate inclusions as well. Otherwise this figure appears largely unchanged from the first Seihou Garo release. According to the scan Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga Saejima Ver. will be released in October 2019 for 9990 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Expect a full set of official images in the near future!

“Heat! Metal”!

The two-tone detectives of Fuuto, Shotaro & Phillip, are best known for their traditional Cyclone/Joker combo as Kamen Rider W! But when the situation changes, W adapt’s. A ferocious fight? Fang/Joker rampages! Need a special trick shot? Luna/Trigger has you in the cross-hairs! And on their very first case, against the T-Rex Dopant, another mix did the trick. Kamen Rider W Heat/Metal brings the heat and the force to wield it!

Shinkocchou Seihou Heat/Metal really does bring the heat. As the now 7th outing of the Seihou W mold, it’s still keeping things interesting. Exquisite paint apps and finely sculpted features can go a long way to keeping something from feeling stale. The inclusion of a wide variety of hands and a few versions of W’s Metal Shaft really go a long way to making this figure impressively expressive too. A few choice flame effect parts would have made this release perfect, thankfully I had quite a few spares to use for my review!

“Why?! Why did you kill Shizuka?!”

Once an orphan, Ginga Suzumura became an inheritor of the Zero armor before his new life was shattered by the Dark Knight Kiba. The loss of his loved ones gave Ginga, now known as Rei, the determination needed to master the Zero armor, and seek revenge. Mistaking Garo for the murderous Kiba, the two heroes clashed before uniting to defeat the dark knight. Walking a lonely path no more, Bandai has given Rei the treatment he deserves as S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Zero! 

Seihou Zero joins the previously released Garo as a much needed update for a character who’s deserved it for so long. For the first time in over a decade this character has been truly recreated in figure form. Zero brings to the line his stylish silver paint job, but also the deadly dual Ginroken. These curve blades can also combine into the massive Ginga Ginroken! A fantastic companion piece to Seihou Garo, we can only hope that more Makai Knights are on the way.

“Kamen Ride.”

Exactly 1 month ago, Bandai’s Figuarts Blog teased the return of a popular figure to the line. Seeing yet another surge in his already immense popularity thanks to a crossover in Kamen Rider Zi-O, Masahiro Inoue’s Kadoya Tsukasa/Kamen Rider Decade is coming back to destroy collector’s wallets once again with an updated Figuarts release!

The fantastic S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade is returning in a new Neo Decadriver Version, featuring the updated accessory used by Tsukasa as of his Zi-O appearances. It’s quite likely that since this version of the figure does indeed feature the Neo Decadriver that it will also come with the back half of the Heisei Rider cards of W through Build. Other accessories, as well as specific yen pricing are not known at this time. This figure will be released in  August 2019. 

As is often the case with new reveals like this, we only have a selection of the proper official images as provided by @Tokullector. When the full listing goes up on the Tamashii Nations site we’ll update this story.

The most recent post on Bandai’s S.H. Figuarts blog cycles through the official images of the upcoming Ride Striker release for Kamen Rider Zi-O. The post details the accessories it comes with as well as it’s compatibility with both Zi-O and Geiz. However, at the end of the post is an odd teaser.

“次回、ジオウ＆ゲイツに強大な敵が立ちふさがる….!?”
“Next time, a mighty enemey will stop Zi-O & Geiz….!?”

The image attached is of the yet to be released Zi-O and Geiz Figuarts posed as though they’ve just lost a fight, while Decade stands tall in the background, back facing them. This image is very likely teasing something a lot of people have been hoping for since news of Decade’s return in Zi-O was made known. Given his turned back, this could very well indicate a potential reissue of the Shinkocchou Seihou Decade S.H. Figuart, though with the new magenta Neo Decadriver instead.

While there’s nothing more concrete to go on than that, the popular consensus is that we could be seeing the Destroyer of Worlds return to destroy our wallets once more. Time will tell if this is anything more than just a tease, and if it is, we’ll be sure to let you know!

Iori Izumi was born into the head Oni family of the Kanto region. A prodigy driven by loyalty to his family, and to his duty to defeat the Makamou, Izumi fully abandoned his human identity and fully became the Oni of the Izumi family, Kamen Rider Ibuki! After nay years of waiting, this master Oni of Breath arrives blow away any Makamou that stand in his path. For the first time ever, Ibuki makes his debut in the S.H. Figuarts line as a Shinkocchou Seihou!

Kamen Rider Hibiki finally joined the S.H. Figuarts line for the first time over 4 years ago, as only the 2nd Shinkocchou Seihou release, which set the bar fairly high at the time. After a long wait Hibiki’s secondary rider has arrived, so what can you expect? Well Ibuki shares the same physical body as Hibiki, just with new cosmetic changes to the armor. Decked out with brass styled pipes mimicking the Ongekikan Reppuu instrument he uses to destroy Makamou. Much like Hibiki this figure is packed down with accessories including his transformation whistle Onibue, and 3 disc animals. It’s really the full package.

“Flame, Please.”

Haruto Soma was the only survivor of a dark Solar Eclipse ritual which saw the creation of a legion of monsters known as Phantoms. Assuming the likeness and identities of those humans they emerged from, Phantom’s invade the world of humans and use magic to wreak havoc. Only one man can stop them, the one who faced despair head on in the light of the eclipse and emerged to gain the power of magic from his hope. Haruto Soma became Kamen Rider Wizard!

FINALLY, after languishing for 6 years with one of the worst S.H. Figuarts ever made, the Shinkocchou Seihou renewal line has finally tackled the rider of hope! Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style is possibly one of the most stunning and astounding figuarts I’ve ever handled. A magnificent recreation of a dynamic suit design, this stylish figure is everything that Wizard fans have ever wanted. Interchangeable Wizard Rings, a multi-mode WizardSwordGun, and fully poseable Wizard Robes(!), make this one of the nicest Seihou releases to date. But don’t just take my word for it, see 100+ images in our full gallery thread!

“Luna/Trigger!”

Toku Toy Box continues on and it’s time we return to a windy city called Fuuto, to revisit everyone’s favorite half-boild detective! When Shotaro Hidari & Philip combine their minds they become one as Kamen Rider W! But when the situation calls for something else, new Gaia Memories give W the edge he (they?) needs to take on the Museum’s Dopants. Using the Luna & Trigger Memories, Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger is formed!

The Shinkocchou Seihou line up of premium S.H. Figuarts renewals has been giving fans the long awaited do-overs they’ve requested for over 4 years now. Kamen Rider W Cyclone/Joker was perhaps one of the best figures to come out of this renewed line, though many many good figure’s have since as well. But that mold has proven to be near perfect in any of the various ways it’s been released. Luna/Trigger is just yet another amazing use of the Seihou W mold. If you know anything about this body type at all, you know you’re going to love this figure as well.

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger to this post. You can also check out our full review thread of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time Toku Toy Box gets *HOT* with a magical gallery from Kamen Rider Wizard!

As if the announcement of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kiva wasn’t enough to get you excited, Bandai had one more surprise in store as well! We knew of this item being displayed at the Tamashii Nations 2018 event, but weren’t able to see it because of the annual photo ban on certain items. Now, via SHFindo, we have our very first look at the S.H. Figuarts Machine Kivaa & Parts Set!

Kivaa is of course Kivaa’s stylish personal Rider Machine, and hot on the heels of Kiva’s own announcement, this is pretty exciting. Better still, it looks as though Bandai will be including the iconic Bloody Rose violin as well as the chair/throne Kiva is commonly seen seated in during the OP and in promotional material. While there are no confirmed release details for this set as of yet, one has to assume Bandai would be working on it with the Kiva hype at an all time high.
