In a surprise reveal a magazine scan has just begun circulating showing off S.H. Figaurts Ambassador Hell! We’ve previously seen this iconic villains’ Kaijin form Garagaranda, on display at Tamashii Events. But this is a new reveal entirely. What’s most surprising is that Ambassador Hell appears to be a standard retail release, priced at 6480 yen with a release date of April 2017.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Ambassador Hell character, he hails from the original Kamen Rider TV series. A Shocker general based out of the western US, the character has made numerous appearances through out the rider franchise. As recently even as the 2016 Kamen Rider 1 film. He’s not to be confused with his brother Ambassador Darkness, who looks very similar and first appeared in the “Birth of the 10th! Kamen Rider All Together!” the Kamen Rider ZX film. Could Hell’s release signal Darkness on the horizon? Here’s hoping!
S.H.Figuarts Ambassador Hell.
Doesn't appear to be a Tamashii Web release, will be released in April 2018 for 6,480 yen.

No, that one certainly wasn't shown off before, we saw an Ambassador Hell figure, yes, but it was his Kaijin form known as "Garagaranda".
This one is brand-new, and exactly what I wanted! They finally start to put that face printing method of theirs to good use in the Kamen Rider series, that's awesome!
Showa stuff usually does nothing for me, but this one's a little tempting. I'm not sure why. Did a version of this guy appear in the Taisen movies, maybe?
Still waiting for a new V3...
They'll do some Shocker guys now, then the easy Rider 2 repaint, and right after they make the transition to V3 hopefully.
They should at least, the Showa Riders are almost all in dire need of upgrades IMO, might as well do them in chronological order.
Ugh! There's so much coming out that I want. x.x

Although yeah, some of them actually do need improvements. I mean I'm happy with most of them, the biggest improvements would largely be in proportions and detail. More wrinkles in the clothing, creases in the rubber; especially on Stronger. Black and RX I know both suffer from articulation hindrance. Ironically Black has full motion in the arms yet limited leg movement, while RX has fluid legs but no bicep joint.
But part of me does wonder if they intend to do that for everything, since there's clearly going to be some major compatibility issues if they don't. At the same time I really cannot see them doing SS for the likes of Riderman and Tackle, and certainly not Shin. At the very least they'd be web-ex out the ass and that's really off putting. Then you've got things like Shadow Moon, Bio Rider and Robo Rider... But they might ignore them like W's forms. I mean I guess if nothing else they've got plenty to keep busy. Out of curiosity, have we had any shinkouchuu seiho that don't function with legacy items?
They'll do everyone at some point, even Riderman and Tackle. Exclusive or not, we'll see
What are "legacy items" though? Never heard that one in relation with Figuarts before.

I'm using it as a generic term for older releases. The HardBoilder might be one example, since I know they released a whole new mold- though that was mainly in relation to the original being inaccurate rather than to fit the new W. As far as I know, anyway.
I want to know if there's ever been a Seihou Kamen Rider incompatible with an original product due to the proportional change. It's one of the things I've been wondering with Ichigo, if the chances are good he'll fit the currently available Cyclone, or will Bandai have to make a new one of them as well?
He looks great, he was my favorite Shocker general
