S.H. Figuarts Shiomaneking Revealed

under Kamen Rider

A special “Tamashii Caravan” event recently took place at the Parco store in Fukuoka, and among the numerous figure displays was the reappearance of the S.H. Figuarts Shocker figures previously seen at the Tamashii World Tour stop in Tapei!

However this time in addition to the new body Shocker Combatmen, Great Leader and Garagaranda figures, the evil organisation was also joined by the fiddler crab monster Shiomaneking! As well as battling against Kamen Riders 1 and 2 in the original series, Shiomaneking would also go on to be revived in Kamen Rider V3 as well appearing in numerous crossover movies and even the Zyuohger crossover episode with Kamen Rider Ghost!

While it’s important to note that none of these figures have a release date yet, Bandai Tamashii Nation‘s new interest in the wider world of Kamen Rider villains is very exciting! We’ll bring you more news as it comes!

    The Shocker reveals keep growing and growing! We have pictures of another beautiful display of Shocker Figuarts, this time through a "Tamashii Caravan" exhibition at a Parco store.

    Among the Shocker Grunts, Ambassador Hell and the Great Leader himself we've seen before is a new reveal: The fiddler crab monster, Shiomaneking, which plagued Riders 1 & 2, V3 and had a lively legacy throughout Rider crossover movies as well. You may recognize him from his appearance in the Kamen Rider Ghost vs. Zyuohger Special or his part in the Rider 1 movie.

    What do you think of this reveal? Do you look forward to the great Shocker invasion in the Figuarts-line?

    I wouldn't be too excited until they get confirmed for release.

    Remember all the prototypes that never saw the light of day?

    Huh, so that random 4chan anon was telling the truth after all.

    I'm into it. I'd buy one.

    You could be right of course but I find it quite unrealistic that they show like 7 new Shocker figures and not at least plan to release the basic Shocker grunt and big names like Ambassador Hell or the Great Leader.

    And if those sell they might as well try and get more Showa Kaijin out there, it worked for Ultraman, could work for Kamen Rider too.

    Or they could never release a single one of these. Could also happen, but I'm feeling optimistic that at least a few of those will be released eventually.

    Did the user share anything else we didn't know about yet?

    Not really. It's just, a while back they had like a secret box at some event that I think you needed to show proof of having preordered Ichigou or something to see. Some anon said he went to see it and the mystery figure was Shiomaneking, it wasn't insider info or anything. But it was a while ago and they hadn't revealed it publicly so no one had any way of knowing if it was true, until now I guess.

    Oh, that box! Yeah, I remember reading about it on the Tamashii website.

    Good to know what was in there, I assumed it was something major like a prototype of those seamless bodies or the light-up concept that was shown. Guess they'll take Shiomaneking really serious

    Although if this was before the Taipei stop at the Tamashii World tour it probably was a big deal considering we didn't know Shocker Shinkocchou Seihou Figuarts were a thing back then.
