LOCK ON!
Going along with the Gaim Gaiden V Cinema story info that just dropped earlier tonight, Bandai updated new release info for the DX Taboo Lock Seed and Face Plate set!
The pair appears to be bundled with the Gaim Gaiden BluRay and DVD Combo Pack that will be coming out April 2015. No price was given, but unfortunately Japanese BluRays tend to be expensive, so this set might be too pricy for some.
START YOUR ENGINE!

More images from the recently announced Gaim Gaiden project have surfaced from 2chn revealing a pair of new Armored Riders that will be debuting in the V Cinema in addition to two new forms for Baron and Zangetsu!
First off, the Apple lock seed will be returning this time in the form of Taboo. The Taboo Lock Seed will be utilized by Kamen Rider Baron to give birth to Taboo Arms but it seems that the seed will also be utlized by a new Armored Rider: Eden.
On the Zangetsu side, we have the Proto-10 Lock Seed which seems to be based on the Sukia(Watermelon Arms) Seed! The most significant change here is the addition of a gating gun to the Melon Defender. The 2nd New Rider is Kamen Rider Hades whom appears to be using the Dragon Fruit Energy Lock Seed that appeared in Movie War Full Throttle.
What do you think of these new forms? Looking forward to the V Cinema? Discuss in the thread after the jump.
With Movie War Full Throttle expected to launch in Japan this weekend, k2eizo of youtube comes through with another video review, this time taking a look at the DX Shift Fruit Car and Drive Lock Seed set!
The neat trick shared between the two of them is that they both utilize the familiar transformation tunes in unique ways, with the Drive Lock Seed being able to cycle through the first three Shift car names, do check out k2eizo’s video down below:
Kaiju fans rejoice! Namco Bandai Games just recently announced that the brand new Godzilla game is heading to the west.
The game is currently slated for a release timeframe of Summer 2015 with the actual date and other pre order bonuses to be revealed at another time. Currently, it’s unknown if the game will be released on actual disc or as a digital only title and at this time the game will only be available on Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 consoles.
While we wait for more news to come up, be sure to check out the epic reveal trailer!
Shifting into Top Gear, Premium Bandai has made a surprise announcement with the reveal of a replica Kamen Rider Drive insignia.
The insignia will be sold in a pack of three coming in a size ranging from 35mm, 70mm, and 180mm, the smallest of which is designed to go in scale with the Shift Cars. The three pack will retail for 2,916 yen each.
Pre orders will be going live on December 22nd and the piece will come out in February 2015. Despite it’s appearance, the emblem is actually made out of ABS according to the Premium Bandai listing.
2015 is about to kick off, and we have news of next year’s big Rider movie with a copyright trademark appearing for Kamen Rider Drive VS All Riders: Kamen Rider Taisen The Second!
Unfortunately, we only have a name to go on for now so plot details are a currently non existent but we should be seeing trailers for the film in the coming weeks.
A new set of Legend Rider toys are upon us, with the Shift Cars attempt at the gimmick reveled through hacking the Drive Driver!
While not as unique as the Rider Lock Seeds that came out of Gaim, the Legend Rider Shift Cars seems to allow the Drive Driver itself to cycle through the different Kamen Rider insignias appearing via it’s light up LED feature.
Of course, we all know about Drive Type Fruits from the recent Movie War Full Throttle scans that just dropped earlier this week, but other Heisei Riders will be represented as well in addition to a noise for Dark Riders(Ichigo is shown, Shocker Rider Shift Cars perhaps?) And Black RX’s Rideron.
With only a hack to go on, we have no way of knowing what the Shift Cars themselves will look like or even how they’ll work with the Driver itself. Stay tuned and we’ll bring more up to date information as it becomes available.
RESHA GATTAI!
