A detailed silhouette of the next Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Zi-O has been posted online!
While Zi-O still hasn’t been revealed in full, this new image hints at a more complex design than some folks may have originally anticipated- including armor bits around the shoulders & thighs, a basic “antennae-crown” (similar to past Riders) and the figure in question seems to be holding a unique weapon (or perhaps changer).
Kamen Rider Zi-O’s series will begin on September 2 2018! Be sure to stop by our official Kamen Rider Zi-O Rumor Discussion Thread to share your thoughts and fears about this brand-new Rider Series!

Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style is recreated with exquisite detail, with features including an adjustable WizardDriver, a multi-form Wizard SwordGun and a wide assortment of Wizard Rings that can be switched out if needed.
Of particular note is Wizard’s cloak; the first type of clothing released in the Shinkocchou Seihou series. The figure uses a mixture of cloth fabric and wire frame to offer a wide array of adjustable shapes.
Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Wizard will officially open for order on July 2 2018! Release is currently scheduled for November 2018 and the price is a very modest 7884 Yen!

An exact price for this Complete Selection Modification release has not been announced at time of writing, but for those wishing to offset the cost a bit Premium Bandai has confirmed that the pieces will in fact receive separate release options:
