Twenty episodes in and Kamen Rider Build, the latest in the ongoing Kamen Rider action/adventure franchise, has taken us by storm. To celebrate, we’re serving up a look-see at the world of the series through a collection of pretty pictures showcasing the heroes, the villains, and everything in-between as the ride stretches onward. In almost […]
As is standard now, every Kamen Rider series seems to need at least 2 transformation belts. Kamen Rider Build‘s second one is the Sclush (Sclash) Driver. This is a much more solid toy than I imagined it’d be but as per usual, being a secondary Driver, it has far fewer sounds and can read far […]
Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Final is the latest installment in the world of Kamen Rider movies. Of course, now that Kamen Rider Build is out, he is our main protagonist, and on top of that, as is standard for these movies, he receives a movie-exclusive form (though it’s rumored to perhaps be appearing in the […]
Kamen Rider Build‘s first major upgrade form is Rabbit Tank Sparkling! The show’s toy line celebrates this new form with one of its first deviations from the standard Full Bottle gimmick. This “soda can” functions similarly to the Cross Dragon, having its own lights and sounds that work in tandem with the Build Driver to […]
The Kamen Rider Build TV series is far from done with their collectible toys, the Full Bottles, but rounding it out at number 19 and 20, the last Full Bottles from Touto, we have Octopus and Light. This set is as solid as all the rest. If you like the past Bottles, you’ll like these. […]
Kamen Rider Build appears to be Rider Kicking butt on the sales charts, if Toys R Us’ figures are any indication. The toy vendor juggernaut recently held a poll with shoppers asking them to vote on their favorite items available at their local store, and the results are in. Which Rider item crushed the competition, […]
Never underestimate toy company Bandai’s ability to turn a mundane inanimate object into an uber-powerful super-weapon. You’ll lose every bet you make against them. And so, we continue our hike through the tense valley of story that is the Kamen Rider Build television series. In what has got to be the most well-written opening act […]
Kamen Rider Build goes 3 for 3 with its SODO toy line, hitting yet another home run. This set is the first one where I highly recommend getting a case, since you will need duplicates. This set consists of 3 and a half figures: Build LionShoubosha form, KeyDragon form, half of Cross-Z and Blood Stark […]
Kamen Rider Build is winding down its Full Bottle toy gimmick in favor of other objects to be placed inside the Build Driver item, but before we move on from Full Bottles, we have a few more forms left. This one is KaizokuRessha, a combination of Kaizoku (pirate) and Densha (train). This is another solid […]
Kamen Rider Build‘s BCR toy line is pretty bad. Honestly, I bowed out after the first figure in favor of the SODO line, but Bandai is smarter than that. How do they get you to purchase an accessory for your crappy BCR figures? Well, include an exclusive Full Bottle, of course! Darn you, Bandai. Anyway, […]
