The official press conference reveal for the 17th Hesei-era Kamen Rider took place today in Japan, and we have learned several new facts about Kamen Rider Ghost! We now have a full introductory cast with character profiles to match!

*Kamen Rider Ghost (aka Takeru Tenkuji) will be played by Shun Nishime. His character is described as a carefree and cheerful young man.

*Actress Hikaru Osawa will join the cast as Takeru’s childhood friend, Akari. She is a university student with a strong interest in science who aids Takeru in ghost hunting.

*Takanuki Yanagi will portray another friend of Takeru- head priest Onari of the Tenku Temple.

*The cast also includes a mysterious hermit played by Naoto Takenaka. He offers guidance to Takeru and teaches him about the Eyecons.

*Kamen Rider Specter (design sadly still unrevealed at time of writing) is also known as Makoto Fukami and will be played by Ryosuke Yamamoto. In contrast to Ghost, Specter is described as a cold & serious person.

*The main villain for this series, with the ability to summon the Ganma creatures is referred to only as The Mysterious Man and will be played by Yoshiyuki Morishita. Another villain known only as Alan will be played by Hayato Isomura. They are among the few who know the TRUE secret of the Eyecons…

*Last but certainly not least, the theme song for this new series will be performed by the band Kishidan!

Kamen Rider Ghost premieres on October 4 2015! Be sure to join in our Ongoing Discussion Thread to share your thoughts and fears about this exciting new series!

In a surprising turn of events (not really) Bandai has found at least one more way to milk a little money out of Kamen Rider Blade fans. Revealed thanks to Shishioh we have confirmation of an upcoming Toei Hero Net Exclusive figuart!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Garren Broken Head Ver. is set for release in January 2016 for 6156 yen. Though there are no images of this release currently, we can expect to see them very soon. It obviously follows on from the Blade Broken Head release so it will likely feature a slightly altered color scheme in addition to the new head.

Be on the lookout for your preferred middleman to throw up orders for Garren Broken Head Ver. soon!

It looks like at least one of this years movie exclusive Rider suits is about to get the figure treatment! Just revealed, with official images in tow thanks to the Premium Bandai website, is S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Super Dead Heat!

Super Deat Heat is Shinosuke’s temporary power up exclusive to the Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future movie. A Frankenstein of sorts this form is accessed with a Mach Driver, while using the Tridoron Key, & produces a red Mashin Chaser body with a Drive Type Speed head that features additional asymmetrical detailing. A gorgeous figure for sure it appears to be lacking somewhat in the accessories. The order page currently only lists 3 sets of hands for each arm.

S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Super Dead Heat will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 5940 yen in March!
