The start of Kamen Rider Zi-O is right around the corner, and the new Rider Kicks Figure has many collectors excited. Thanks to some magazine scans, we have our first look at the Rider Kicks Figure Build Armor Time.

On its own, the RKS Armor Time Build doesn’t look like he has much going for it aside from some very limited elbow and knee joints. Other than that,  it appears to be a hollow shell that you then attach to either Kamen Rider Zi-O or Geiz akin to the Level 1 forms from Ex-Aid’s gimmick line. 

None the less, you can look forward to seeing this dropping in September, retailing for 1944 yen.

AMAAAAZOOOON!!

When S.I.C Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha was first unveiled months ago, fans have wondered just how the rest of Kamen Rider Amazon’s designs would look in S.I.C’s hyper-stylized aesthetic.

Pre-Orders for S.I.C Kamen Rider Amazon Omega will begin August 24th 2018 as a P-Bandai exclusive release. Amazon Omega will see a release March 2019 for 9180 yen.

As you might recall, Tamashii Nations announced the S.H.Figuarts Heisei Riders Rising Project to coincide with the launch of Kamen Rider Zi-O and the end of the Heisei Era. Many are eager to see what will come of this announcement, and our first one comes in the form of the S.H.Figuarts 20 Kamen Rider Kicks reissues of older S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider figures.


What sets these Figuarts apart from their first releases is the fact that they’ll include special Tamashii Act stage stands: these stands include parts that will mimic one of Kamen Rider Zi-O’s Ride Watches in appearances and of course they’ll be themed after each corresponding Rider.

Each of these Figuarts will cost 5400 yen a piece, going in order, our first batch of releases will include Kamen Riders Build, Faiz, Gaim, Ex-Aid Blade, Den-O, Drive, and Ryuki with Drive and Den-O coming out January 2019.

This will be an excellent opportunity for those that may have missed out on these figures the first time around, or for those new to the fandom looking to dive head first into the fan favorite S.H.Figuarts line.

If you’ve been among those that have been itching to watch more classic Tokusatsu series in North America, we have great news for you. Discotek media during their Otakon panel announced that they’ll be releasing the Space Wolf Juspion Complete Series Blu Ray set complete with English subtitles.

Currently, there’s no word on when this set will see a release. For now, all we know is that Discotek media plans to release this set sometime Q1 2019. Stay tuned, and we’ll keep you updated once pricing and release dates have been announced!

Space Wolf Juspion first aired in Japan March 15, 1985, and ran until March 24th, 1986. While reading the Galaxy Bible, Ejin learns of a shocking prophecy: When the dark god Satan Gorth awakens, the universe will be ravaged by giant monsters filled with rage. After Satan Gorth appears and the prophecy is set in motion, Ejin orders Juspion, who Ejin has been tutoring, to stop him and combat the corrupted Megabeasts. He travels with his friends in the Daileon.

Both forms will see a May 2019 release for 5400 yen. Thanks to some data mining from TendouToys via Twitter, we can confirm that S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Rosso Wind will, in fact, be a Tamashii web exclusive release with pre-orders beginning later in August.

While it wasn’t confirmed, we can only assume that the same announcement will be made for S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Blu Ground as well.

It’s certainly been a big day for Kamen Rider fans, as our first look at Kamen Rider Zi-O was dropped quite recently and Bandai is showing no signs of stopping any time soon. You might recall that a new video game called Kamen Rider Climax Scramble was recently announced for the Nintendo Switch if you’ve been looking to import the game we have good news for you.

It was just confirmed on Bandai Namco S.E.A’s official Twitter account that Kamen Rider Climax Scramble will be making it’s way to South East Asia, complete with English subtitles much like last year’s Climax Fighters game.

The good news is that the Nintendo Switch console is region free, so this version of the game will be more import friendly for our English reading audience. We’re still waiting for the trailer to drop, but we’ll let you know once it comes out so be sure to check back with us for more updates yet to come. 

UPDATE:

Both the Japanese region and South East Asia region versions of the game are currently up for pre-order on Play-Asia.
