Our good buddy and site contributor baltmatrix has finally gotten his hands on his desired Arms Change figure – Shin Zangetsu!  He was kind enough to do his own video review of the figure.  How does it compare to the earlier release of Zangetsu?  Did the plastic quality improve?  Check out the video below for the answers!

About a week our ago, our own Den-O took a comprehensive gallery of the figure as well as having it paired with all the other Arms Change fruits.  Do yourself a favor and click here to check it out!  So what do you think?  Is this figure on your list of wants?  Are you having trouble finding it?  Don’t worry … the boys of the Talkin Toku podcast might have an easy way for you to get one.  And maybe other things too!  Stay tuned…

As such, it’s been confirmed that Ryugen, Bujin Gaim, Ryuga, Autovaijin Battle Mode and Gaim’s Ichigo (strawberry) and Pineapple Arms should be making appearances in some fashion.

Actors Takamasa Suga will reprise his role in voice form as both Ryuki and Ryuga along with Handa Kento as Faiz.

Revealed previously in the last quarters toy catalogue scans, Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms will be the characters’ ultimate form. We’ve yet to see it’s predecessor Kachidoki Arms in action yet and already we’re getting a better look at what will replace it!

This marketing teaser advertises the Gashapon inflatable rider arms weapons along with Kiwami. And it looks like we’re also going to be getting the combined DJ Gun/Musou Saber of Kachidoki Arms in this series. A weapon also accessible to Kiwami Arms as previously confirmed. In fact Kiwami Arms will have access to all the rider weapons according to previous scans.

These images also give us a slightly better look at the Hyper Battle Video exclusive form, Kamen Rider Gaim Fresh Orange Arms.

Some new official images of the eleventh Arms Change figure have surfaced online! This is “Kachidoki Arms,” Gaim’s mid-season upgrade!

These images confirm that Kachidoki uses a new Gaim base body with added details (including a new head and different LockSeed mold for the belt). Kachidoki’s main weapon is the dual-mode DJ Gun but it can also use the two shogun flags to attack enemies.

AC-11 is set to be released in April and its official price tag is 3456 Yen!

Strike in the Shadows!

We’re back with a final Arms Change Gallery (for now). The most recent release in the line is none other than AC09 Kamen/Armored Rider Kurokage! Although this toy is meant to represent the original Kurokage, it could quite easily be troop built as the Kurokage Trooper. The inclusion of their signature lock vehicle, the Tulip Hopper helps get this point across.

Another welcome addition to the line, Kurokage officially rounds out the the first 6 Armored Riders before the introduction of Bravo. His Bandai Premium webshop release won’t be for a few months either. So the next AC gallery you’ll be seeing after this is Gaim Jinba Arms after it’s release! So far now, be sure to check out our FULL 50+ image gallery of AC 09 Armored Rider Kurokage & Tulip Hopper by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

Lock On!

We’re back once again with another figure from everybody’s favorite line, Arms Change! Today we’re taking a look at the AC 08 Kamen Rider Shin Zangetsu figure from Kamen Rider Gaim!

At first glance you’ll notice a lot of similarities between this version of Zangetsu and the original. But don’t be fooled, there’s more than just a few repaints and retools separating the two. The Melon Energy Arms themselves are a fantastic departure from the original featuring a really awesome asymmetrical transformation.

Though this figure is by no means perfect, it’s a really fun and playable interpretation of one of the more powerful and recently likable characters in the series. If Shin Zangetsu is an indicator of the quality for the future AC Energy Rider releases then it’s safe to say they’ll be great!

Check out the full gallery of this figure by clikcing “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.
