Hot on the heels of the magazine reveal we reported yesterday, the Bandai Tamashii Nations Kamen Rider Gaim special page has updated with official images of the forthcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms figure!
Packaged with the Musou Saber, Kachidoki Bata and DJ Gun, Kachidoki Arms will be hitting retail in September for the price of 5180 yen. Check out the full set of images after the jump!
Mr. Knuckleman!
As we reported yesterday we’re about to be treated to the 4th Bandai Premium Kamen Rider Gaim figure release. Arms Change AC PB 04 Kamen Rider Knuckle! Orders officially opened for this spectacular figure today 5/23 and will remain open through 7/31. AC Knuckle will be released in October and he’s priced at 4320 yen.
There also appears to be a teaser of sorts mixed in with Knuckle’s official images. Perhaps some kind of Arms Change announcement (?) tied to Tokyo Toy Show International since that’s present in the image? We’ll update this story as soon as we’ve confirmed the text in said image.
FIGHT! POWER! FIGHT POWER! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT F-F-F-F-FIGHT!!!
The 12th entry in the fan-favorite “Arms Change” action figure series gets released in Japan this weekend. Some lucky fans (like Youtube reviewer “wotakufighter”) have already received their shipments!
If you were lucky enough to secure a preorder for the Lemon Energy Rider, keep a close eye on your mailbox for any shipping notifications!
The trademark has been posted – it would appear that the next Kamen Rider will be known as Kamen Rider Drive. The attached image is a picture of the trademark filed for the next show. As to what this show will be about is anyone’s guess at this moment. Keep in mind, there has been rumors floating around that the current series, Kamen Rider Gaim, would be ending early, so the details for Kamen Rider Drive may be forthcoming sooner than we think.
Speculate and discuss away in our discussion thread! Thanks to Fruit Rider News and TokusatsuNetwork.com for the heads up.
A lot of people may think this is a funny update, but for fans of Power Rangers this is kind of big! The actor known as Austin St. John who played Jason Lee Scott the original Mighty Morphin Red Power Ranger as well as the fan-favorite Zeo Gold Ranger is making his first convention appearance in nearly 7 years this weekend at Comicpalooza, the Texas International Comic Con. This is the first public appearance by Austin St. John since 2007, as he has been overseas being busy as a real life hero working with emergency responders in the Middle East.
Below is a video posted today by Austin St. John as he left for the airport. Be sure to keep up to date with everything ASJ related by ”Liking” his official Facebook Page and following him on Twitter @ASJAustin.
Strike in the shadows!
Yet another rider from Kamen Rider Gaim is slated for release in the S.H. Figuarts line this year. This time it’s Kamen/Armored Rider Kurokage!
This release of the figure appears to be of the standard Kurokage rather the the mass produced Kurokage Trooper variant. Notice the still “prototype yellow” Sengoku Driver belt he’s wearing, and the faceplate on his belt. Chances are the Trooper version will eventually see release as well though. But for now I think we can all settle for the original Kurokage, Hase! S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kurokage will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in October for 4104 yen.
For one reason or another the Web Shop has only posted 2 official images to Kurokages’ page, 2 of which are rather boring static poses. We’ve included 3 other images that were previously leaked showing Kurokage with his partner in crime and fellow nut bro, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gridon!
Yet another of last night’s revealed figures is now confirmed with official images and release info! This time we can share images of S.H. Figuarts Roboizer! The sweet ride of the Prince of Sadness himself, Kamen Rider Black RX’s 2nd form, Robo Rider!
This latest addition to the S.H. Figaurts line will likely come with the standard accessories most rider bikes tend to, a display stand and extra handlebars. S.H. Figuarts Roboizer will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in October for 4860 yen!
Following up on Side Machine info this morning, we have news about another classic addition to the SHF line. None other than the Mechanical violator himself, S.H. Figuarts Hakaider!
This most classic of tokusatsu villains is of course the nemesis of Kikaider/Jiro. And just as Kikaider has returned to the spotlight thanks to the upcoming film Kikaider Reboot, so too has Hakaider! S.H. Figuarts Hakaider will be released as a Tamshii Web Exclusive in October for 4860 yen.
Revealed only late last night we now have official images and release info for the mechanical monstrosity, S.H. Monsterarts Kiryu/Mecha Godzilla High Mobility Type!
This bad boy is of course based on Kiryu/Mecha G’s appearance in the film Godzilla: Tokyo SOS. S.H. Monsterarts Kiryu/Mecha Godzilla High Mobility type will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in October for the whopping price of 12, 960 yen.
Kikaider is big in Japan right now. Between a theatrical film, a Kamen Rider Gaim Crossover, and upcoming Figuarts of the shows 2 most iconic characters how can things get better? With the release of S.H. Figuarts Side Machine!
This sweet sweet ride is of course the mode of transportation for the original Kikaider/Jiro. S.H. Figuarts Side Machine will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in November for 6480 yen. Check out all the official images after the jump!
Who knows, perhaps with the success of this release, we could see Hakaider’s White Crow one day?
