Arriving a few months after the Kikaider REBOOT movie hits Japanese cinemas, the original Android Kikaider joins the S.H. Figuarts line!
Based on the design from the Shotaro Ishinomori‘s original 1972 series, Kikaider is fairly light on the accessories – apparently only coming with a selection of alternate hands.
He can be yours this September, released as a Tamashii web exclusive priced 4860 yen.
Tamashii Web exclusive coming in September!

why oh why can't you be a retail figure.......still need it
Cool
Blue fin Plz bring this over. i need it and cant afford a TWE
First 009 being a exclusive and now Kikaider. He's a classic character, I would imagine a retail release would sell very well. I think a retail release could work in the US since he was big in Hawaii and casual people might remember him from the animated series on Cartoon Network.
We're quickly reaching a time where only the first release of a main Rider will be a public release and everything else will be Web Exclusives. Just like this.
Wait 009 was an exclusive? No wonder I haven't seen it around.
Man I'm really starting to hate the whole exclusive thing. It's not like it's tough anymore but it really feels money grabby, I think he'd do fine in normal retail.
I've honestly never seen Kikaider, but I went ahead and ordered one anyway. Because, why not?

Kikaider, while it certainly has it's fans, isn't going to sell at the same level that a mainline rider SHF's would or even the original Ultraman Ultra-Act. This figure has a far more limited scope, only having fans from 3 decades ago to go on since the characters new film hasn't even been released yet. It just makes sense.
