Check out the official images for the Arms Change AC 10 Kamen Rider Gaim Jinba Arms!
As speculated, and confirmed earlier this week, the Jinba arms contains the powers of all 4 Energy Lock Seeds! Based on which lock Gaim uses in conjuction with Orange, the Jinba Arms itself rotates to reveal the pattern of that energy Lock. So contained in this one toy are Jinba Lemon, Jinba Cherry, Jinba Peach, & Jinba Melon!
Magazine & catalogue scans have confirmed the upcoming appearance of Jinba Cherry and Jinba Peach in show. So th eonly odd one out right now is Jinba Melon. THough this weeks events on Kamen Rider Gaim could change that…
Bandai’s official youtube Channel brings us a promotional video of the up coming DX Durian&Acorn Lock Seed Set and Arms Change Bravo figure. Except this one is special; Actor Metal Yoshinda whom our fandom will know fondly as Mr.Dangerous himself appears to promote his own toys while completely in character as Oren.
Check out the video in the box below:
An early image of the next Arms Change figure has turned up online, giving us our first look at Gaim’s “Jinba” Arms in toy form!
The Jinba AC piece is divided into four separate folding faces, meaning that this one figure can transform into all four of Gaim’s “Jinba” configurations! (for reference, the Jinba forms are Orange blended with Lemon Energy, Cherry Energy, Peach Energy or the previously-unrevealed Melon Energy).
This Arms Change release is expected to be out in stores late February/early March and should be available at the standard 3000 Yen pricepoint.
This time of the month always brings a plethora of magazine scans as well as new information about all your favorite tokus. By far the communities’ most favored right now is Kamen Rider Gaim. And Toei is certainly showing Gaim plenty of love revealing things like Kachidoki, Fresh Orange, & Rider 1 Arms.
Well it looks like based on an image teased today we’ll be seeing an upgrade for everybody’s favorite banana themed rider, Kamen Rider Baron, in the near future too! What we have teased here is Baron in silhouette using what appears to be Kamen Rider Dukes’ Lemon Energy Arms! Based on this image could Baron possibly be receiving his own Genesis Driver? Or a Genesis Core like Gaim? Will it be a full on Energy Form or a Jinba style arms like Gaim? Time will tell!
Speaking of Gaim, Jinba Arms allows him access to any of the four Energy Rider powers based on which of their locks he’s currently using. Lemon is his first and recent images revealed Peach & Cherry. This teaser image also shows one of them, most likely Jinba Melon, which has yet to be seen. We’ll keep you posted as more info becomes available.
You may recall a few months back, that a special Fresh Orange Lock Seed was offered as a magazine pack in bonus. As it turns out, this Fresh Orange lock will indeed allow Kamen Rider Gaim to use a new Fresh Orange Arms!
This arms is set to debut in the Kamen Rider Gaim Hyper Battle Video scheduled for release this spring. Much like previous Hyper Battle exclusive forms it most likely will not appear in the main show proper. Prime examples of this trend being Gattack Hyper, Fourze RocketDrill States, Wizard Falco Mantle, or OOO TakaToraGaru.
This image also teases the other arms changes from the special:
Ryugen: Pine Arms, Banana Arms, Melons Arms
Zangetsu: Mango Arms, Ichigo Arms, Budou Arms
Baron: Kiwi Arms, Melon Arms, Ichigo Arms
Bandai has opened the official page for the second Lock Seed & faceplate roleplay set!
This offering contains two DX Lock Seeds- Pinecone and Walnut, used by Kamen Riders Kurokage & Knuckle respectively. The set also includes two faceplates; a detailed profile for Kurokage & a blank face for Knuckle (or to double as the mass-produced Kurokage Driver design).
DX Pinecone & Walnut will be released in September 2014 and cost a mere 4,320 yen
Not to be outdone with just his Kachidoki Arms reveal today, Gaim will also receive two other upcoming forms. Kamen Rider Gaim Jinba Cherry Arms is just like the previously seen Jinba Lemon & Peach. Jinba arms is symmetrical on all sides and rotates around the riders head based on the energy lock seed used. Then corresponding flaps fold down to reveal that locks attributes. Jinba Melon can’t be far behind!
And we have one more arms confirmed for the Hesei Vs. Show Kamen Rider Taisen film! We already knew that Kamen Rider Fifteen would have a few arms of his own, but now we can confirm the existence of Gaim’s very own Rider 1 (Ichigo) Arms! The movie is set to introduce two new lock seeds, the Hesei Rider (Gaim) Lock & the Showa Rider (Ichigo) lock. Fifteen will use the Hesei lock to access Gaim Arms (not to be confused with Orange Arms) and Gaim will use the Show lock to access Rider 1 Arms!
The latest entry in the perfect-scale, expertly-detailed “Complete Selection Modification” line is the Kabuto Zector from fan-favorite series “Kamen Rider Kabuto!”
Orders for this CSM Zector will be open from March through June 2014 and will be available beginning September 2014. The Zector will cost 12,960 Yen before shipping!
New magazine scans courtesy of J-HERO.COM’s Facebook page have revealed the next form in Kamen Rider Gaim‘s evolution – Kachidoki Arms (roughly translating as ‘Triumph Arms’).
Using the Kachidoki Lockseed, Gaim will transform into the orange-themed armoured Samurai form. In this form, his Arms Weapon will be the previously revealed DJ Gun.
When Kachidoki Arms will debut in the show itself it still to be revealed, however stay tuned to Tokunation.com as more information comes!
