How many time puns can one blogger cram into the span of a few weeks? Guess we’ll find out, as the pink carpet gets rolled out for the newest hero in the ongoing Kamen Rider super-saga from Toei Company. Kamen Rider Zi-O is time-slipping his way up and down the last twenty seasons of this […]
Two SH Figuarts items were produced in the main toy release line for the Kamen Rider Build TV series, those being Build himself and the villainous Night Rogue. Now, despite these two figures sharing a lot of the same pieces, Blood Stark and Cross-Z, unfortunately, are Premium Bandai Web Exclusives. Let’s start with the negatives […]
Kamen Rider Build‘s 9th SODO set features 4 figures again and, like the last set, one of them is from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid‘s Another Ending Trilogy. First up, we have 2 Best Matches from Hokuto and Seito, they are RoseHelicopter and ToraUFO. These are pretty standard figures for Build’s SODO line, but of course this […]
Kamen Rider Cross gets his next and final upgrade form in the Kamen Rider Build TV series with this device, the DX Magma Knuckle. The Knuckle itself functions very similarly to the DX Cross Dragon, requiring the insertion of a Full Bottle and all. The toy comes with the DX Dragon Magma Full Bottle, though […]
The battle to save Touto from the fires of war continue on Kamen Rider Build, as genius amnesiac Kiryuu Sento finds he’s not the only bug-eyed super-dude without memories running around these days. Last time, Kamen Rider Kiva‘s Takeda Touhei debuted as the new mystery soldier from neighboring territory Hokuto, leading the charge (in his […]
It’s been a wonderful season for tokusatsu. From the colorful, high-flying adventure of Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger to the intense, take-no-prisoners action of Kamen Rider Build, the world of special effects television has rarely been so exciting. And, as we inch closer to the tearful farewell to the spacey super-team of Kyuranger and ramp up toward […]
It’s funny. I started out reviewing Kamen Rider Build under the assumption that, at some point, it would be less necessary to discuss each episode of the series on an individual basis. Like with most entries into the Kamen Rider franchise (to say nothing of its counterparts in Super Sentai), I expected that we’d eventually […]
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 introduces its second Rider with a Build Driver add-on toy, Cross-Z’s Cross Dragon. Now the Cross Dragon can be purchased with or without the Beat Crosser (Closer), more on that later, but the Dragon itself is a neat little item. Reminiscent of the “gadget” toys from Kamen Rider W, Kamen Rider OOO, […]
Well, here we are. At the moment many of us have been waiting several weeks for: When the identity of the new hero of the Kamen Rider Build TV series is finally revealed. Of course, everybody and their momma had already figured it out ages ago, and it’s doubtful the show was even trying to […]
