Yesterday we brought you the news that S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Ibuki was finally being released, and now Tamashii Nations have confirmed just when you can get your hands on the next Kamen Rider Hibiki Oni and for just how much.
Kamen Rider Ibuki will release in August 2018 as a Tamashii web exclusive, for the price of 7020 yen. Like Hibiki he also comes with a wide selection of accessories, including four additional pairs of hands, alternate belt parts, his Onibue Onteki whistle transformation device in both folded and unfolded states, 3 different disk animals (in disk form) and of course his signature Ongekikan Reppuu trumpet.
Hopefully this means release information for Kamen Riders Zanki and Todoroki will follow soon! Will you be adding S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Ibuki to your collection? Let us know in the discussion linked!
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.
