Toy Review: S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider OOO Tatoba Combo (Shinkocchou Seihou)

Bandai has recently released the updated version of the S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider OOO Tatoba Combo for the Shinkocchou Seihou line. As expected the body is now more proportionate with a thicker torso and more rounded head. Out of the box, just to let you know that the figure doesn’t have the medals slotted in the OOO driver. I will discuss the medals in a bit.

S.I.C. Kamen Rider OOO Official Images

Bandai has recently released the official images of the S.I.C. Kamen Rider OOO Tatoba combo, the 64th installment for their re-imagines Kamen Rider figures spear headed by the master Mr. Kenji Ando.

The S.I.C. Tatoba Combo is complete with a set of Taka, Tora and Batta Core Medals, a set of cell medals and the Medaljalibur. Looking at the images, the Tora claws does flip out as it would on the show but alternatively, a completely different Tora claws is also available to provide that organic feel in line with the S.I.C. theme. 

Should you need to recreate a combo charge, a new set of Batta legs will do it just that.

Toy Review: R/D Kamen Rider OOO Tatoba Combo

This maybe is your first actual look at the R/D or Real Deform Kamen Rider OOO by Banpresto. Banpresto is more known to manufacture sofubi - a rubbery plastic that is in forever in a static standing position. Well Banpresto suddenly took their sofubi and gave it some joints. That's the birth of R/D - their answer to the long gone Deforide series.

Impressively, Banpresto gave a lot of colour to the box art with the R/D logo on the top left hand side and opposite is Banpresto's logo. Additional decals include the OOO show logo, the 30 point action insert and of course the name Kamen Rider OOO. Still in its infancy, R/D OOO box has the figure in front with the subtle image of Tatoba highlighting where the joints are.

The Meteor, Super Tatoba, Double Rocket and Magnet State

We now have a more detailed image of Super Tatoba and Fourze Double Rocket States. These forms will be featured in the upcoming movie Fourze & OOO Movie Wars MEGAMAX.

Super Tatoba is a mix of the Tajadol Taka head coupled with the all yellow tora torso and all green batta legs. Fourze Double Rocket States on the other hand (no pun intended) has two rockets for each arm and the white accent will be replaced with red orange feel. He will be using Astro Switch No.S-1 (Super One) to create this form. It is also stated that its FMCS figure will also be available in 2012. Many toy collectors are predicting that their SH Figuarts toy versions will come out on the same year as exclusives. Even with this in mind, not many are happy that these upgrades are repaints of Tatoba/Tajadol and Base States.

Toy Review: MG Figurise Kamen Rider OOO Tatoba Combo

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).

Toy Review: SH Figuarts Kamen Rider OOO Tatoba

I've been waiting for this figure to arrive in the Lion City for many weeks now. Patience is a virtue and good things comes to those who wait. I'm excited to get a hand on the SHF Tatoba combo just because I wanted to get Unkh (now I know the real spelling). As per one of my comments from my Youtube subscriber, the name Unkh is from the Hindi word Ankh which means the eye. Bet you didn't know huh? (Am I describing myself?). Is he worth it or forgettable? Let's find out.

New SH Figuarts Box Design of Shinken Red and Kamen Rider OOO Tatoba combo

Henshin Justice Unlimited member and blogger The Emperor, recently spotted the new design for the SH Figuarts ShinkenRed and OOO TaToBa Combo, that should be released this February 2011. The packaging is great and veered away from the grey (or colored) box design and the letterings for the character title are now transparent. Overall the packaging is quite similar to SIC Kiwami Tamashii with bright and themed color but without those annoying wire twisties.

He saw these amazing new desings in a display case in Yodobashi-Akiba mall in Akihabara, a train station away from Tokyo, Japan. Thank God that these are not exclusives or my wallet will continue to burn. Phew.

Thank you Emperor for posting this, I’m so excited and I’m glad I pre-ordered these.

Why you need to have the first release of the SH Figuarts OOO Tatoba Combo

The reason why you need to get the first release of the SHF Kamen Rider OOO Tatoba combo is because of the inclusion of Anhk's hand. I saw on the web a couple of photos what the actual hand looks like and how you may want to display it. The hand/arm can also be pegged on the Tamashii Stand which is also included on the first release. SHF Kamen Rider OOO will be released around April 2011.

It seems that Anhk has his own Tamashii Stand
