Even approaching the end, Arms Change still manages another surprise!
Previous listings had hinted at one more Premium Bandai Arms Change exclusive action figure. Now, a new teaser has come online proving that the Premium release in question is Yomotsu Heguri Arms– the interesting new final form unlocked by Mitsuzane seen in recent magazine scans. Preorders for this figure will open in September and cost 4000 Yen.
In addition Premium Bandai will be offering a special DX Yomi LockSeed complete with a new Sengoku Driver faceplate based on this new form. This set will open for orders late August and cost a mere 2000 Yen.

By the way, what do Yomi and Yomotsuheguri mean exactly?
Actually, thew Kiwi head on the Ac figure really complements the whole design.
This and this.
Yomi literally means a yellow well or spring. In Shinto religion it refers to the underworld, land of the dead, hell. Yomotsuheguri is likely derived from Yomotsu Hirasaka and Yomotsu Hegui. The former is the decent into the underworld, a hill or slope of some sort. The latter is a concept referring to the fruit or food of the underworld, and that once it has been eaten, you can never leave.
For further information, look up the story of Kamiumi, in particular the Land of Yomi.
I guess the closest counterpart would be the pomegranate Persephone ate

I think I'd much rather have an SHF over an AC for this form. Do want the Lockseed, though.
That's pretty neat how the faceplate outline is silver this time around.
