Are you ready to travel to Helheim Forest? Well your Kamen Rider Gaim Arms Change figures are about to be. It’s time to pick up the Lock Vehicles Sakura Hurricane & Rose Attacker today to compliment your growing collection of AC figures!
These vehicles strike the best balance between functional transforming locks and pretty great vehicle modes. Though they don’t feature electronics like DX & Gashapon Lock Seeds, these little gadgets more than make up for it with a smooth transformation. It also helps that they scale perfectly with Arms Change Riders. Do you plan to pick up the Lock Vehicles or are you waiting it out for the S.H. Figuarts releases?

Do you need a sweet ride to go with some fruity warlords? Bandai has you covered! Today we're taking a look at the Kamen Rider Gaim Lock Vehicles, Sakura Hurricane & Rose Attacker!
The Lock Vehicles are made to go right along with what I'm sure is your ever expanding collection of Arms Change figures. These vehicles are the perfect scale for Arms Change and actually may work well with the forthcoming S.H. Figuarts Gaim riders.
These bikes aren't merely vehicles of course. As the name implies these are Lock Seeds too! And although they lack the electronics of DX & Gashapon Lock Seeds they have the same physical functionality with Gaim roleplay toys like the DX Sengoku Driver & Musou Saber. They can attach to each item and activate generic sound effects but don't activate any special forms or callouts of their own.
Both Sakura Hurricane and Rose Attacker transform just as they do on show. From lock to bike form it's a fun interesting transformation and the finished product is pretty nice if a little bulky in spots. But that's just the nature of making a toy like this. The S.H. Figuarts releases of both bikes will sacrifice the functionality for show accurate bike forms, so no transformation there. But these 2 are very adequate placeholders. I personally have 1 Sakura and 2 Roses and plan to get the SHF releases as well. Just as fun transforming vehicles I can appreciate these bike quite a bit.
They aren't crazy fancy or overly detailed but they're fun and intuitive and really get the job done. These bikes have begun to sell for higher prices on the secondary market, anywhere from $40-60 each so try to find them affordably if you can.
Lock on!
One of the better designs for a Ride we've had since RideVendor (Sorry Fourze. I love you but MachineMasslinger was just a dirt bike with a cardboard space-shuttle). Just wish they had some kind of DX sound when it activated. But at the same time I understand why they don't. With all the folding and such where you put the sound chip?
Rose Attacker is pretty cool looking. I honestly don't really care for either of these, but it's just cool having bikes for my figures for once. It completes them in ways I wasn't expecting.
I want Sakura Hurricane. If anythin to replace the SHF version since Im not sure if I will get it.
The bikes themselves may not be the most accurate thing in the world. But I love functional vehicles. Your standard fare SHF bikes don't really do much of anything other than sit there. These can actually interact with role play toys. Now not in a hugely meaningful way, but they can. And the transformation they offer won't be present in much of an other representation of these vehicles.
Those are the reasons why in almost all of our podcast eps, you can hear me playing with one in the background
These are great looking Den-O, nice gallery. It might just be me, but the riders look a bit big for the bikes.
True, to me Baron looks fine on it but Gaim and Ryugen just look awkward.
Well according to the first episode's Rider War, Gaim should get a horse!
They look cool. Might get one.
