Introduced in the market as a Core Medal for Gambaride Machine and was an exclusive medal in Televikun magazine, the Kangaroo Core Medal will actually be used in one of the Kamen Rider OOO Hyper Battle Video.
It starts of as Hina found a Kangaroo Core Medal and simply wanted to be a Kamen Rider. But since Eiji has the OOO Driver, Hina dared Eiji to use the Kangaroo medal. In the August issue of the Televikun Magazine Kamen Rider OOO's Hyper Battle Video named Quiz, and Dance, and TakaGaruBa it features the screencaps of OOO transforming into TakaGaruBa Combo.
The Kangaroo Core medal can be used as the arms or legs (with a tail) of Kamen Rider OOO and the finisher is called Champion Puncher!
The news was huge when we finally saw Kamen Riders enter the foray with Double/W. It seems like it was hit thus we continue on with Kamen Rider OOO, starting with of course Tatoba Combo. Box art is sleek, clear and direct to the point but in my opinion, more appealing because of the bright colors embedded in Tatoba.
I've been building BB Gundams for half a year now and I thought that I would complete this without a doubt in less time. I was wrong - I'm still a noob in model kit building. MG Tatoba has parts alphabetically starts from A-I. It scared me a lot at first but later on it was "challenge accepted" (ala Barney Stinson).
Do you want to get a real piece of Kamen Rider OOO memorabilia? Well look no further. Recently Real Prop-size announced that they are releasing The Kougami Happy Birthday O-Medal.
This set is made according to the prop size used on the show. In this line, you’ll receive Taka, Tora and Batta core medals in a cake-like box just like the President showcased on the series.
My second SHF OOO recently arrived and I was so excited. I wondered whether he would keep up to my expectations or another boon on the list. For weeks I read speculations on QC (quality control) problems on most SHF OOO toy lines. But lets see if mine suffers just the same. Gatakiriba is formed by combining 3 similar green core medals: Kuwagata, Kamakiri, and Batta. Its main power is replicating itself for God knows how many. Although he has bladed arms as weapons, he still uses the Medaljalibur in his disposal. Let get it on the details.
His box design has the same pattern as Tatoba and we will continue to see that same box design for the rest of the SHF Kamen Rider OOO toy line. In this case instead of three different colors on the rings, they are replaced by different shades of green, much alike with the figure's core medals. Though I like the new box art, it still has the same flaw - the outlined letter are unreadable from a distance. But then again like I mentioned this over and over with conviction, any color on the SHF box design is very welcomed as long as it deviates the plain grey-ish and somewhat frowning colors.
Fans of different sexes debate of how to categorize a Female Kamen Rider or who is really the first female rider. There is another one to debate on. According to fellow toku bloggers Gideon and Jefusion - Hina Izumi (Unhk's host sister)will become the 8th kamen rider in the franchise just like Femme (sorry she is only one I recall at this moment).
From a similar post in 2ch - the TV station that airs Kamen Rider series (just in case you don't know)it is rumored that Hina will become a Kamen Rider either in the series, summer movie or the series' hyper battle video. Her medals are Hyacinth, Carnation and Tulip Core Medals. So she will be called Kamen Rider HiCaTu - fine :P.
Many of us know that SH Figuarts Gatakiriba combo is coming this month. But there is still an indefinite assurance when it will arrive in other markets because of the recent Japan earthquake incident. Yes, I know that most of these items are made in China, its up to Bandai Japan the exact shipping date for respective countries. Anyway, enough talk more images. Thanks to KRGG for the latest images.Enjoy.
For months I've been speculating that because OOO will be teaming up with Den-o and the Imagins, there should be something crazy Toei is cooking. I was right. Lo and behold, Kamen Rider OOO Tamashii Combo. (scratching my head)
In the upcoming Kamen Rider OOO – Den-O – All Riders: Let’s Go KAMEN RIDERS movie opening this April, Kamen Rider OOO will be utilizing Taka (Hawk), Imagin and Shocker Core Medals. The logo on the chest has three parts (obviously), the Hawk, Momotaros face and the Shocker logo at the bottom. Additional features will be horns on OOO shoulders and golden legs. If this combo comes out as an SHF figure, I'll be - Oh I don't know, doing cartwheels in irritation. There is not much said how Eiji will acquire the medals and no reason why Toei choose Shocker as the 3rd medal. My guess is to commemorate Ichigo?
What if a Kamen Rider consumes both Core Medals and Gaia Memories at the same time? You get Kamen Rider Core. Here comes another medal and memory set to burn your wallets, the Kamen Rider OOO Medal Set EX. This set was featured from the Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider OOO & W feat. Skull: Movie Taisen Core. The memory is the "Memory" Memory - what? Yeah that's what they call it in the movie. It has the following sounds,"Spider", "Bat", "Core" and "I'm Kamen Rider Core!". The Core Medals are Kani (Crab), Sasori (Scorpion) and Ebi (Shrimp) Medals. Gaia + Medals = Epic Happiness. This would be released in May 2011 but as of this post, there are no pre-orders or specific pricing yet.

Since finally I got my DX Core Medal Set 2 and 3, I might as well try to glitch them. So out of boredom, I recently glitched Core Medal Set 2 and Core Medal Set 3 and mix them with other default medal. Here we go.
A lot of people are still on the hunt for the Kamen Rider OOO DX and Gachapon medals. Since the medals and cells are so rare nowadays, some online trading stores such as Ebay are selling these for 3 to 5 times (or on some cases ridiculously high) for its original retail price. Add to it are the wave after wave of medal and cell releases which makes any ordinary collector having difficulty of keeping track of what were released. Look no further. It may be not complete but these kids will tell you what is out there.
I read though Gideon Burogu's blog (now a website) recently that someone on Youtube has successfully hacked the DX OOO scanner. Aside from the video I made on core medal glitches, this Youtuber used a calculator and some electronic chips plugged into the OOO scanner.
Some of the sounds I heard are the familiar combo changes and core medals we've already seen or read from the last few episodes of Kamen Rider OOO plus a few more which gives you a sneak peak on the next line of core medals and other Gachapon medals as well.

The videos also shows 11 past Hsieh Rider sounds and a few that I could only recognize and somewhat audible to me. But with the help of fellow netizens like TyphoonBang from the CSToys Pack and Ship show, he was able to decipher the words written in Katakana.

Coming from another netizen (WTF1025) from the Pack and Ship show, not all animal core medals will be featured in the show but will be released as Gambarides. How will these medals pan out on the show remains to be seen.
Below is the rest of video. Enjoy. Do leave a comment below should there be a miss from the list mentioned above.
Since the DX belts and weapons in Kamen Rider OOO have been released and sold. I still don't know how (as of this post) will Kamen Rider Birth actually play in the series. We know he uses cell medals to transform (henshin) we know he has Birth Buster and then some...then what? There's a Kamen Rider fan out there who have posted on Youtube a glimpse of how he will kick Greed ass.
