“Riderrrrrrrr, henshin!”

While this release just barely made it’s way out at the end of 2017, it’s already set the bar very high for where figures for 2018 should be. After 10 years of S.H. Figuarts, and numerous releases in one form or another of this character, Tamashii Nations has finally made the definitive figure of Takeshi Hongo’s heroic rider form. We thought it only appropriate that on today, what would have been Shotaro Ishinomori’s 80th birthday, we share our gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider 1!

From the ground up, Seihou Rider 1 is the ultimate representation of this character in 1/12 scale form. Faithfully recreating Kamen Rider 1’s most iconic look in his “Shin” costume from later in the original TV series, this appearance is how Hongo has appeared for nearly all of his appearances since it’s debut well over 40 years ago. Elevating the engineering of figuarts once again, this Shinkocchou Seihou release manages to capture the wonder of this costume perfectly and translate it’s essence into a dynamic action figure any collector should be proud to own.

We’ve attached the FULL 100 image gallery to this post, but you can also see our extensive review in the thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” below to see the entire gallery thread for S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider 1!

As the revitalization of the Showa Era continues from Tamashii Nations, we have one more enemy grunt to add to our collections. Appropriately, following on from the upcoming Renewal of the Shocker Combatman in February is the successor to those very troops. S.H. Figuarts Gel Shocker Combatman!

Gel Shocker was the first organization to succeed the original Shocker in it’s quest for world dominance. Formed by Shocker’s Great Leader, and Geldamn’s General Black, this group culled the ranks of the original Shocker even down to it’s reliable Combatman men. This purge resulted in the introduction of the new Gel Shocker Combatmen who wold menace the Double Riders for some time to come. This new figure is the first instance of Gel Shocker in the figuarts toyline and it looks to be a pretty spectacular release. The Gel Shocker Combatman utilizes the new body enginered for the Renewal Shovcker Combatman and includes both the spiked staff & sword these soldiers were known to use.

The Gel Schocker Combatman will be release in June 2018 as a Tamashii Web Exlcusive for 5400 yen. Be sure to get in touch with your preferred middleman or service in order to secure an order in the near future. Credit to Tendou Toys for sharing this image with us.

“Now, count up your sins.”

In the city of Fuuto, legendary heroes called Kamen Riders protect the citizens from monstrous villains. The first of their kind set the bar very high for what it meant to be a hero, a detective, a mentor, and a man. Defending his city Soukichi Narumi created a legacy of heroism for the next generation to follow as Kamen Rider Skull. Now after years of waiting Bandai has finally given this legendary detective the renewal treatment he deserves with S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Skull!

Seihou Skull is the 4th release we’ve gotten for this series so far (W, Accel, Hardboilder) and it really is a fantastic one. Utilizing the incredible Seihou W body, this release gives us everything we could want and more for Skull. Multiple display options allow you to turn this figure into 1 of 3 versions of the character; Skull Crystal, Skull, & Impostor Skull. A functioning Lost Driver with Skull Memory as well as an interactive Skull Magnum, numerous hands, two fedoras, two scarves, even a dummy W Driver & Case to re-create Begins Night! Seihou Skull is an all inclusive release sure to please any fan of Kamen Rider W.

“Change, Punch Hopper!”

Shun Kageyama had humble beginnings with ZECT under his mentor Sou Yaguruma/TheBee. When Yaguruma fell from grace, Kageyama rose to power, but proved too weak to maintain it. Left a shattered man he was pulled back from the depths of his failures once again by Yaguruma. Kageyama’s mentor had been reborn as Kamen Rider Kickhopper, now he himself lives his own second life as Kamen Rider Punch Hopper. Together they walk their own path, to hell.

Recently we took a look at Shinkocchou Seihou Kickhopper, and as with most any release from this line I was very impressed. So it’s no surprise that mold mate Punch Hopper is also an absolute pleasure. Punch Hopper once again takes an excellent renewal mold and puts it to good use. The only new difference with this release is the arm mounted Anchor Joint weapon, but it’s executed just as well as Kickhopper’s ankle mounted one.

“Won’t you go to hell with me?”

Once, he was Kamen Rider TheBee, before a series of encounters with Souji Tendou would ultimately derail the life that Sou Yaguruma had carefully planned for himself. After a brief disappearance from Kamen Rider Kabuto, Yaguruma would eventually re-emerge as a shade of his former self with a new lookout on life as Kamen Rider Kickhopper! Now Yaguruma is the latest addition to the premium renewal S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou line!

Seihou Kickhopper is yet another loving apology from Tamashii Nations for the abysmal quality of the original figure, released over 9 years ago. In every conceivable way this new Seihou release outclasses the original and realizes the potential of this renewal line of figures. From a removable and properly reversible Hopper Zecter right down to the Anchor Unit rider kick weapon, Kickhopper has been faithfully recreated at last.

“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.

The butterfly effect of Bandai’s premium & popular Shinkocchou Seihou sub-line of Figuarts has finally reached Rider Machines! While not officially labeled as an S.S. release, the brand new S.H. Figuarts Hardboilder is undoubtedly a renewal meant to replace the original release of this bike.

Hardboilder is of course the faithful ride of Kamen Rider W, and a perfect companion piece to the Shinkocchou Seihou W Figuart released last year. While this renewal definitely won’t be as significantly different from the original as many others have been in recent years, it is on the whole a more accurate and well proportioned update.
