After a nearly 4 year long wait, and several appearances at Tamashii Nations events in the last year, a new Shinkocchou Seihou release is finally on the way from Kamen Rider Hibiki! Joining the ranks of this top quality sub-line of special releases is Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Ibuki!
Kamen Rider Ibuki was the secondary rider of Hibiki’s TV series. The youngest of the original 3 Oni of the series, Ibuki abandoned his human name (Iori Izumi) once he gained his powers. This figure appears to gorgeously replicate Ibuki every bit as well as the line did with Hibiki years ago. Ibuki will include his Ongekikan Reppuu trumpet-gun, a set of disc animals, his Oni Whistle for transforming, and several more accessories.
We don’t have the exact release details available yet, but given the release of these partial images, a full set as well as that retail information will be available shortly. We’ll update you as soon as we can! Credit to @_Erasu for digging up these initial images as well.
Only a partial set of official images are circulating now, but the full batch and item page should be live on Tamashii.JP tonight.

I don't really know who that is so I’ll pass.
Glad for the Hibiki-fans who want this, although paying Premium Bandai prices for all of those must really sting. Better than not getting them at all I assume…
He looks amaaaazing.
Definitely picking him up. Ibuki was my favourite Hibiki rider.

Must-purchase. I doubt his complement of accessories is going to be quite as impressive as Hibiki's, but it looks like he has his whistle, and I suppose they can reuse most of Hibiki's accessories. (Edit: Actually, save for effect parts, it looks comparable, based on another image Erasu posted.) Also: SQUEE! This is the first genuinely exciting Figuarts news I've seen in some time.
(For those who don't know who this is: consider watching at least the first half of Hibiki. It's great, and unique as Rider shows go.)
So I'm pre-ordering that A.S.A.P. Ibuki has always been my favorite character from Hibiki and one of my favorites riders period. Of course, now that they're showing signs of doing the other Oni I now have to track down Hibiki.
Holy shit I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought this was gonna go the way of S.S. DiEnd and be stuck in Figuarts limbo.
Extremely happy to see this is coming. I haven't gotten around to watching all of Hibiki but I love the designs so this is a must for me.
Holy shit, yes. I didn't think they'd ever release him.
