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 […]
If you’ve been following us closely over the past few months, you know we’re pretty big fans of Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga in these parts. The space fantasy prequel to the giant hero series Ultraman Orb first streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime Japan before making its way to terrestrial television and home video. It […]
Kamen River Kiva is making a comeback. As I clutch my pearls at the thought of it already being a decade since this amazing fantasy action series left the airwaves, Kiva’s celebrating its tenth anniversary in style. We’ve already heard of the new Blu-ray set coming to home video, as well as the introduction of […]
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 […]
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 fourth entrance into the SODO toy line is probably its least exciting yet, though still not bad. Set 4 decides to drop the potential RabbitTank Sparkling figure (bumping it to set 5) in favor of Build’s bike……. Yay? This leave us with only 2 new Build forms: KaizokuRessha and OctopusLight. In fairness, […]
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. […]
