“Grand Time!”
Today marks the 50th Anniversary of the Kamen Rider franchise, and we kick off the festivities with the birth of a King with P-Bandai finally preparing for the release of S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Grand Zi-O.

“Henshin!”
Dovetailing nicely from the recent Kamen Rider Kuuga releases of Dragon Form & Pegasus Forms, Tamashii Nations has just announced their next release from the series; S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Ruder Kuuga Growing Form! Not only is Kuuga’s basic pre-form finally joining his Seihou brothers, he’s bringing along some accessories for them as well! For Pegasus Form, the handgun that’s transformed into the Pegasus Bowgun, and for Dragon Form we get the pole that’s transformed into the Dragon Rod. A great way to make an otherwise basic form really pack a punch. Release details are as follows

“Best Match!”
No one was expecting this one were they?? One of the earliest and arguably best alternate forms for Kamen Rider Build, Ninnin Comic Form is actually going to receive the S.H. Figuarts treatment! This is a pretty big surprise and pretty far out there announcement given how few of these type of early alternate forms tend to see light as SHF’s. The order page is now up at Premimum Bandai, though orders don’t officially open until April 2nd. As a huge fan of Build myself, I’m immensely pleased. Release details are as follows

The next set of Kamen Rider Gaim Complete Selection Modification Lockseeds is coming and this time it is the Kureshima Lockseed Set, which will undoubtedly contain Lockseeds for both Kamen Rider Zangetsu and Kamen Rider Ryugen.
Of note – the teaser image for the Kureshima Lockseed Set is Kamen Rider Zangetsu in his Kachidoki Arms form – a form that was first featured on a stage show and later in the Kamen Rider Fan Club exclusive Gaim Gaiden story released a few months back. Its inclusion will mark the first time any roleplay items for this form have been released (only a S.H. Figuart has been released).
The set will begin pre-orders via Premium Bandai Japan on April 6th. While as of yet to be announced, we assume Team Kamen Rider and Bluefin Brands will also carry this item. More details on the 6th!
