Type…. A mysterious new hero joins the Tire Koukan toy line from Kamen Rider Drive! The first of likely many Premium Bandai TK releases is now up for order, TKPB01 Kamen Rider Proto-Drive!

Proto-Drive is the rider still surrounded by mysteries in Drive. But many of them should be brought to light soon in the upcoming Kamen Rider Drive Episode 0 which will be given away to movie goers at the Drive X Gaim Full Throttle Movie. 

For now though Premium Bandai is wetting our appetite for this shadowy rider with a Tire Koukan release. Proto-Drive includes the Prototype Tire already attached, but as a bonus for this premium release he also exclusively includes the Dimension Cab Tire! Which has a magnet that allows to be attached to metal surfaces. No other weapons or accessory are included but we’ve yet to properly see Proto-Drive use weapons before anyway.

TKPB01 Proto-Drive is open for pre-order for 3780 yen, and will remain open through February with an actual release in May.

Tire Koukan!

Ready to start your engine? TokuNation has that covered for you! We’re back with another look at Kamen Rider Drive! And this time we’re spotlighting the Tire Koukan TK-04 Tire Set 2 with a gallery!

Tire Set 2, much like Tire Set 1, is an accessory set of sorts for your other Tire Koukan figures. And just like the first set, this one includes three brand new tires! Spin Mixer being the most plain of the 3 doesn’t come with any accessories, nor should it. Much like Funky Spike it’s just a generic extra tire for the gimmick. However Mad Doctor includes the Cure Quicker defibrillator  device and looks pretty sharp on Drive Type Speed or Wild. But the real winner of this set is the 3rd and most awesome tire, Dream Vegas! Get ready to recreate scenes of an abnormally stretched out Kamen Rider with this one or recreate some classic fights with the included Drum Shields!

In any case we’ve attached a selection of images to this news post, but we’ve also assembled a full 40 image gallery after the jump for your viewing pleasure. But also don’t forget that this gallery qualifies you for our Toku Toy Box giveaway! Simply leave a comment in the discussion thread attached to this post and your name will be entered into the drawing for the Top Gear Rider Legends Prize Pack! Full official rules & details of Toku Toy Box posted here. Good luck!

Type Formula! It appears that the next upgrade for Kamen Rider Drive has been revelead! Well sort of.

Today brings us not only more Ninninger images but also a pair of silhouettes for Drive. One gives us a decent look at the profile for Kamen Rider Drive Type Formula. The other is an advertisement for the upcoming Tire Koukan TK-09 figure of this form. Type Formula appears to keep in line with the basic Drive style but it appears to move the TK gimmick once again, but this time to the figures wrists! A rather large spoiler has also been added to Drive’s shoulder/neck area! The accessory included is this forms new weapon, the Trailer Cannon!

TK-09 Drive Type Formula will be 3500 yen.

Revealed this past month with magazine scans we have our first official look at yet another Tire Koukan release!

TK06 Machine Chaser is set to be released this December for 3200 yen and looks to be the complete package for this character. Included with Machine Chaser is his all-in-1 weapon the E-Circular. The Tail Whipper weapon is already built into the Circular, but additional attachments are included to create the Wing Sniper and Fang Spidey weapons! And of course the Reaper himself isn’t complete without his Break Gunner!

After some extensive magazine scans arrived earlier this week showcasing the Kamen Rider X Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle film,  it was only a matter of time before we saw images of toys from it. Look no futher as we have 3 stellar reveals today!

Tire Koukan TKPB-01 Kamen Rider Proto-Drive will be the first in a series of Premium Bandai releases for Tire Koukan. Retailing for 3500 yen orders will go live in December and remain open through February. Although possible other accessories are not known at this time, judging on the image provided the Proto-Type Speed tire should be removable. Accommodating what looks like a version of the Dimension Cab Tire which is included.

Tire Koukan TKSP-01 Kamen Drive Type Fruits will be the first SP releases for the Tire Koukan line. Drive will be released in December for 3200 yen and includes a Musou Saber & Daidaimaru. Drive basic body has also been repainted to match the Gaim inspired blue& Orange he sports in ht film.

Arms Change ACSP-01 Kamen Rider Gaim Drive Arms will also be released in December for 3200 yen. Appropriately complementing Drive Type Fruits, Gaim includes the Handle Sword & Door Gun! As these images show this hilarious giant rider head arms looks to be just as impressive as the previous AC Legend riders set.

After some on the set spy shots captured what was thought to be this Drive Type last month, it was only a matter of time before toy images surfaced. The wait is over now, Tire Koukan TK-05 Drive Type Technique is revealed!

The first thing you should notice is that like Type Wild, Type Technique shuffles the Tire Koukan gimmick around again. Type Speed had a sash along the torso, Wild had a shoulder attachment, but for Type Technique the Tire’s attach to the neck!

This figure will be released in December around the same time as TK-06 Machine Chaser, Drive Type Technique will retail for 3456 yen.

Wild!

TokuNation continues racing down the track of justice with Kamen Rider Drive! And today we bring you another gallery & video pairing from the Tire Koukan toyline, it’s none other than TK-03 Kamen Rider Drive Type Wild!

Type Wild is only the second stand alone figure release in this line but it already sets the bar high. Rather than just a decent figure like the previously released Type Speed, or a stand alone accessory set like TK-02, Drive Type Wild is the full package. An excellently detailed figure complemented by the perfect accessories. His standard Type Wild Tire, the Rumble Dump Tire capable of splitting off it’s drill attachment for hand to hand use, and to top it of the Handle Sword! Type Wild really has it all, with that mean walking tank look and these weapons it’s a definite winner.

Below is a video review of TK-03 Drive Type Wild by my good friend and frequent collaborator Baltmatrix! Be sure to watch the review below and stay up to date with all his reviews by following him @baltmatrix on twitter and subscribing to his youtube page!

And after the jump we’ve assembled 70 images of this excellent figure for your viewing pleasure! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” to be taken to the full gallery thread. Baltmatrix & I will be back once again in the near future with a series of Power Rangers Dino Charge reviews as well!

Joining the Tire Koukan line next month it seems TK-06 Machine Chaser will be more of an all inclusive package than we thought. Not only will he include his Break Gunner weapon but also all 3 weapons accessed from his Chaser Spider, Chaser Bat, & Chaser Cobra Viral Cores! This new image of Machine Chaser also confirms his compatibility with Kamen Rider Drive’s Tires!

So now we know that Machine Chaser can steal and use Shift Cars as recent episodes have shown, the toy demonstrates his ability to use Drive’s Tires, and we know that in the near future his bike the Ride Chaser will have a combination features with Kamen Rider Mach’s Ride Macher. What do all these bits of information amount to? We’ll find out in the coming months.

For now be sure to pick up TK-06 Machine Chaser which releases in December for 3456 yen.
