First In-Hand Images of the Upcoming Rider Kick Figure Series from Bandai Japan

under Kamen Rider

For years upon years, the S.H. Figuarts line of figures from Bandai Japan have been considered the ultimate visual form of our favorite spandex-clad superheroes from Japan. Featuring heavy articulation, show-accurate paint and details, as well as a variety of weapons and accessories, you really cannot beat a S.H. Figuart in terms of feeling you have a “complete” figure. Then something called “Rider Kick Figures“, or RKF, emerged recently.

Bandai Japan would like to appeal to those who cannot always afford a solid $50 for a figure.

Releasing in September is the brand new action figure line “Rider Kick Figures” which literally, and I quote, has the catchphrase “It’s cheap and it moves!”. Consider our interests piqued. The first figure to release will be Kamen Rider Build in his Rabbit/Tank form. Following his release will be Kamen Rider Cross-Z and Kamen Rider Grease (shown in pictures attached to the article), and announced or teased figures include Kamen Rider Zi-O, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Kamen Rider Evolt, and Kamen Rider Build Dragon/Rabbit form.

For those of you who want to collect figures but cannot afford the price of S.H. Figuarts, or are simply annoyed at the constant influx of Premium Bandai releases, the Rider Kick Figures may be for you. Check out all the in-hand images by clicking the title of the story.

    The entire first round of releases includes:

    - Grease
    - Build (Rabbit/Tank)
    - Cross-Z
    - Evol (Cobra)
    - Cross-Z Build Form (Rabbit/Dragon)

    These really do like great alternatives to S.H. Figuarts for anyone on a budget.

    It's the Zi-O toyline. The Whole point of the line is featuring past riders. Hence the first wave being composed of really popular Build characters. The thread title even says it's the Zi-O RKF Toyline.

    Are we sure this is the Zi-O toyline, and not an upper-end budget line akin to Dragon Stars?

    Rider Kick's Figures is the name of the figure line that's launching along with Zi-O. There are two series within RKF, the Rider Armor series, which is actually about Zi-O and its Riders and Forms, and this, the Legend Rider Series, which is just past Riders.

    I think calling it a first "wave" is kinda mistaken, though, since the LR figures' releases are pretty staggered. Most of the first figures actually released for RKF will actually be for Zi-O in the RA line. These are just the first revealed because they're safe from spoilers.

    I'm gonna laugh if Kiva still doesn't get released in this line.

    Glad they're doing Grease because I didn't preorder the Figuart.
