With Kamen Rider Zi-O heralding the end of the Heisei Era for Kamen Rider, and in commemoration of the 20th Heisei Rider himself, Tamashii Nations has announced the S.H. Figuarts Heisei Riders Rising Project!
The Rising Project announcement promises the reveal of 3 new Heisei Rider figuarts in the near future. The first of these 3 riders will be revealed on August 24th. Currently speculation is running wild as to what these 3 figures will actually be. Will this be Kiva’s time? There’s Zi-O which begins airing next month as well, so now would be an ideal time to reveal his first figuart. Then there’s the possibility that 1 or more of these figures could be a Shinkocchou Seihou renewal of an out of date release like OOO, Fourze, or even Faiz.
Exactly who these 3 Heisei Riders are, is something we’ll be watching closely in the coming weeks. So we’ll be sure to keep the community up to date!
Looks like Tamashii Nations and Figuarts are going to be celebrating the Heisei Era with what they seem to be calling the Heisei Riders Rising Project.
Apparently we'll be seeing some announcements...and most people are assuming an extremely obvious one will be one of them.

I love how OOOs is hidden all the way in teh back to try & cover up how terrible that mold is.
Maybe people can FINALLY shut up about Kiva now.
D'you think they're aware that we can count...?
...actually, I can't help but notice that all the Shinkocchou Seihou figures except Wizard are at the back with Fourze, OOO, and Ghost. I can't imagine that's entirely coincidental. (On the one hand, it seems far-fetched that they'd consider remaking Ghost this soon, but it was a poorly-received figure...)
A Kiva announcement would be fitting. Wataru did kick off Decade, so the figure kicking off the celebrations for Zi-O on this toy side would make sense.
Yup, I think they will complete the Heisei Riders with ZI-O and Kiva.
I wonder what else could come out of this.
If they -do- remake OOO, I'll be extremely excited for that
My, how kind of them.
*lets Kivat Bat II bite and becomes Dark Kiva*
Now hand over our figuarts Kiva.
Honestly if they just re-release some of the more popular SHFs of the mains (hopefully Kabuto, Ex-Aid, and Hibiki) and do a new SS or two (gimme my boy Faiz Bandai) I'd be perfectly happy.
I'd bet on re-issues too, likely ones that were released a few years ago and hence aren't in circulation at the moment like Gaim, Decade and Blade.
