Earlier in the week, we had our first look at Kamen Rider Zero-One, ushering in the age of the Reiwa Era we now have our first look at the show proper thanks to a press conference that was held in Japan. This press conference gives us our first look at the actual stunt suit for Zero-One himself, as well as revealing the show’s ensemble and the show’s story:

AI and robots replace the need for human workers in a lot of labor-related jobs. The civilian identity of the Zero One is Hiden Aruto, he’s the president of Hiden Intelligence. There’s a group called A.I.M.S. which is an anti-AI group and fights the bad robots while a group of hackers serves as the main antagonists for this show. Kamen Rider Valkyire’s civilian identity’s been confirmed as female as many have speculated when the scans were first released and it seems like she’ll be part of the show’s main cast early on in the series’ run. 

Voice actors Koichi Yamadera will be the show’s narrator, while Noriko Hidaka will be providing the voice for the A.I system. The press conference can be viewed in full in the box down below:

In a rather surprising turn of events, our friends at Mattel just revealed the latest piece to join their line up of SDCC exclusives; as you may have already guessed it’s none other than the Hot Wheels Spider Machine GP7 from Toei’s Spider-Man!

For those unfamiliar with the Toei’s take on the iconic web-slinger: Spider-Man in this show is a motorcycle racer named Takuya Yamashiro. He gains spider powers to fight off the Iron Cross Army. In addition to being used as transportation, the Spider Machine GP7 activates a warship called the Marveller, which can transform into a giant robot called Leopardon, and that very car is faithfully recreated here by Hot Wheels.

Do note that attendees must pre-order off Mattel’s website first, then confirm their badge number at Mattel’s booth at SDCC the day of the show. Pre-orders will not ship out until after SDCC comes to a close. 

At the moment, we don’t know if Mattel plans on releasing this piece to mass retail once SDCC is over, but we’ll be sure to give you an update once more info regarding this is available.

Bandai is going retro with this next entry in the popular Super Minipla line. If you haven’t already guessed from the title, the next Super Sentai series that will be getting this treatment will be from none other than 1981’s Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan and presumably Sun Vulcan Robo.
