Let’s Watch Wednesdays returns! Kamen Rider Den-O is speeding down the tracks. But are we approaching a detour?

Kintaros the mighty bear Imagin is here to stay! And as long as he’s here he’ll continue to make the forces of evil cry as Kamen Rider Den-O Axe Form! But how many more stragglers can the Den-Liner pick up? And while we have questions, what about Hana? Her destroyed future? The secret behind her and Ryutaro being Singular Points? But more importantly (f0r now) it’s time for Ryutarou to be a bodyguard, well Kintaros can do most of the work.

Fun Fact #4
Did you know that each of the Den-Liner Imagin that make up Den-O’s arsenal are all based on Japanese myth/folk heroes? Each of them is based on a unique hero of Japanese lore and this week we focus on big red himself. Momotaros is based on the legend of Momotaro. Sent from heaven floating down a river within a giant peach, Momotaro was taken in by a childless couple. Raised by them he grew up to be a great slayer of the various Oni of myth. Even going so far as to befriend several wild animals, and with their help he invaded the dark island Onigashima, defeated the hordes there and return home with enough wealth to live out the rest of his days comfortably with his family. Momotaros shares a basic peach motif with this hero of legend and his look is in fact based on that of a “typical” oni. Next week we take a look at Urataros’ origins in myth!

As always be sure to join in on our weekly discussion thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Kamen Rider Den-O is ramping up to something big very soon. You just have to watch to see!

Just revealed this weekend at Tokyo Toy Show International we’ve got some hard info about the release of the next Premium Bandai Arms Change set!

ACPB05 will Include Kamen Rider Mars (Gold Arms) & Kamen Rider Kamuro (Silver Arms). This set will retail for 7000 yen and orders will open on July 18th. Orders will remain open through September, with the two-packs release in November.

Also to clarify the nam Kamen Rider Mars has been confirmed. Despite differing accounts previously stating his name to be “Malus” that’s apparently false. The name tag for this set at the show presents an official romanization of the name as Mars.

Lock on!

After months of vinyls, Arms Action, & Arms Change figures Kamen Rider Gaim has finally made it’s way to the collector line releases from Bandai of Japan. Recently released is the long awaited S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim! 

This gorgeous figure represents Gaim’s basic form using his Orange Arms. And although the S.H. Figuarts line doesn’t allow for the Arms Change gimmick seen in the mass retail line, this is an absolutely drop dead gorgeous high end release that seriously makes up for that loss of gimmick. Gaim as a stand alone figure is brilliant, but he also includes his trademark Musou Saber, the orange themed Daidaimaru, 4 extra sets of hands, and a closed Orange Lock Seed. This guy seriously comes packed with it all!

To top off this gallery we’ve also included images of the Bonus first run display base set include with S.H. Figuarts Gaim & Baron pre-orders. This gorgeous set piece accents what are already magnificent figures. If you missed out on it I highly recommend finding it before prices go up.

Please check out our full 80 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim after the jump. We’ll be coming back later this weekend with the second gallery in our series of SHF Gaim releases, this time with the Knight of Spear, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Baron!

New characters have been added to Kamen Rider Battle Ride War 2’s Roster!

Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms and Shin Zangetsu have both been confirmed as DLC characters, much like WIzard Infinity and Beast Hyper from the last game.

Kiwami appears to play similar to Fourze: with the different Armored Rider weapons being worked into his combo attacks. Meanwhile, the trailer doesn’t make it clear if Shin zangetsu is Takatora or

After a a few smaller images were leaked last night we finally have our first full on look at Arms Change AC13 Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms! Currently on display at Tokyo Toy Show 2014 Kiwami Arms is shown in various stages of it’s transformation both pre and during the cast off of the included dummy Kachidoki Armor.

Kiwami Arms also looks to include the DJ Gun in it’s combined form with the Musou Saber, Taiken Mode. But what’s most awesome about these images is the confirmation that AC Kiwami Arms is FULLY compatible with previous Arms Change armors! In the second revealed image we see Kiwami wearing Gaim’s Orange Arms.  So expect to see some crazy combinations on top of this guy once he’s released!

Word comes from the Tokyo Toy Show that the Apple themed Riders of Gaim’s Summer Movie will be getting Arms Change figures!

 

For now, the photo from TagHobby remains too small to make out any of the details but they seem to have  been confirmed as a Premium Bandai exclusive and sold as a two pack.

In addition, we have another photo showing the dummy Kachidoki cast off armor that will be included with the upcoming Kiwami Arms

Let’s Watch Wednesdays is back at it again to bring manly tears to you. Kamen Rider Den-O meets a new ally this week!

Urataros has joined the Den-Liner crew! But are his womanizing ways behind him? Obviously, not. Yet again he reels Ryutarou into more trouble. But a relationship will be reforged because of him. And Ryutarou must ask why his sister can’t remember something truly dear to her. Buried deep down are memories that bring tears to Airi’s eyes. And speaking of tears, his strength will make you cry! The 3rd Imagin of the Den-Liner appears. Kintaros! And next week, anew form!

Fun Fact #3

Yet another actor you’ve seen before appears in Kamen Rider Den-O! In Den-O actress Wakana Matsumoto portrayed the lovely and idolized Airi Nogami, older sister to our sometimes heroic main character. She would also later play Manami Kawasaki. A Gate, notorious thief,  and a bit of a gold digger from Kamen Rider Wizard who would cross paths with our titular hero.
