For now file this one under the maybe category.

Bandai of America revealed a cryptic teaser for their San Diego Comic-Con 2015 exclusives just last week. And while we have a good idea what those 4 items are (1 of them confirmed to be non-toku) we may have a new item in the mix. An ebay listing has just been discovered for what appears to be a Loyal Subjects Mighty Morphin Red Ranger vinyl cast in translucent red plastic. While we haven’t heard about this figure being available at SDCC yet, it could be a similar case to the translucent Ranger Keys that were passed out at the show last year where select attendees received them.

For now feel free to speculate on the claim that this is an SDCC 2015 figure. As a Loyal Subjects item it wouldn’t be part of BOA’s pre-show reveals so right now we have no way to confirm it’s validity. As SDCC approaches (July 9th-12th) news will begin to trickle out about the upcoming exclusives, as it does we’ll be there to share all the information with you! And be sure to follow TokuNation as we report LIVE from SDCC yet again!

With an impending release this month Bandai has just released official images for a pair of upcoming Kamen Rider Drive Releases!

The DX Tridoron Shift Car allows Drive to access his final form, Type Tridoron! This massively powerful form can be controlled by Shinnosuke or by Mr Belt, marked by the visor turning red when he does. The DX toy of this shift car of course features it’s own electronic light and sound gimmick as well as compatibility with the DX Drive Driver! And while the Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron vinyl may not be that detailed, it does give us one of the finest looks we’ve had at this suit before it’s official debut.

Both of these items will be released this month, for 2700 yen & 864 yen respectively!

The second form of Kamen Rider Drive has been revealed!
Thanks to a vinyl collectors’ figurine leaking out before the intended release date, we have our first look at Drive: Type Wild! This new armor is apparently built for heavy-duty combat, with the Tire moving to Drive’s shoulder instead of the chest.

 

The secert origins of Type Wild remain unknown at the time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider Drive news!

As Bandai of Japan & Banpresto hold their annual summer toy festival we’re seeing a lot of what we’ve seen before in terms of our favorite Japanese heroes. However a few new items have snuck out and onto display that we haven’t quite seen yet. In some cases we’ve got better shots of a few things we’ve only glimpsed til now.

On display at the moment are the various minipla from Ressha Sentai ToQger including the upcoming Safari Ga Oh as well as several other combinations like Cho Cho ToQ Dai Oh. But of special note is the upcoming Rainbow Clear SP set of ToQ Oh & Diesel Oh! This set was initially revealed via an imageless Amiami pre-order but now we can see them in their wonderful translucent glory.

While we’re on ToQger some new vinyls have also been unveiled which will definitely please fans of the series. Joining the likes of General Schwartz & the Kuros is Baron Nero of the Shadow Line! On top of that we have some ToQ Changed versions of  ToQ 1 in Pink & Yellow!

Topping things off for Kamen Rider Gaim is the previously revealed DX Yomi Lock Seed & Arms Change Ryugen Yomotsu Heguri Arms which are also on display here. Finally have some better close up shots of the pair. And the placard next to Ryugen apparently confirms that he will indeed come with the Overlord’s weapons! And not to be left out Banpresto has some more Dual Solid Hero Kamen Rider figures on display as well!

And you thought Bandai had spoiled all the good surprises with the DX/Chogokin ToQoh reveal. Fear not because the imaginary trains of justice, fruit warriors of Helheim, and new Ultras are on full display this weekend. Right now some great first had looks can be had of:

  • DX Build Resshas/Build Dai Oh, as well the combined formed of Build, ToQ, & Diesel Oh; Cho Cho ToQ Dai Oh
  • DX Safari Ga Oh/Galaxy Line Resshas
  • DX/Chogokin ToQ Oh (with new elbow joint adapters as well). Also seen are a couple of amazing scaled display environments including a rail way station with the DX Resshas interacting.
  • S.H. Figuarts Gaim, Baron, Zangetsu, Jinba Gaim, & Kachidoki Gaim
  • Gaim Arms Change Kiwami Arms, Knuckle, Sigurd & marika, Kamuro & Mar. As well as a GORGEOUS custom made for the show environment featuring various AC riders fighting in a Yggdrasil facility as well as in the forest of Helheim.
  • Also an entire line up of the already released toylines for both Gaim & ToQger are on display. Including all the various DX Resshas and DX Lock Seeds ever released!
  • And last but not least is the reveal of the ENTIRE Ultraman Ginga S toyline! Famously this line will feature a new gimmick very similar to Arms Change, only in a very literal sense. The new character Ultraman Victory will be able to scan Kaiju Spark Dolls to use their arms in battle!

Be sure to check out over 50 images of the various displays Bandai has at the show, and stay tuned to TokuNation for further updates!

under Super Sentai

As speculated earlier in the series it seems ToQger will feature a new power up, Hyper Mode!

Accessible through the Hyper Ressha, Hyper Mode gives the ToQger’s bright golden train armor for the chest and shoulders. Something very reminiscent of the Super Goseigers. Though for now this power up is confirmed only to be used by ToQ 1 it’s entirely possible that the other members may have access to it as well!

These magazine scan also show us our first image of Hyper Mode in toy form with the ToQ 1 Hyper Mode vinyl. We get a great look a the DX Daikaiten Cannon which includes the Hyper Ressha. And we get looks at the very first Shadow Line vinyls! General Schwarz and the Kuros!
