The fifth Gaim Figuart has just been added to Bandai’s listings!
Armored Rider Gridon will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive, costing 3,780 Yen[/i ]with orders opening on February 7th and a release window of July 2014!
Five down, at least seven to go!
The official Kamen Rider Gaim website has updated with new images of forthcoming merchandise, including our first proper look at the Arms Change Armored Rider Bravo figure!
Though the image is only small, this is our first look at the figure itself other than previous 3D computer mockups. Bravo is a Premium Bandai exclusive expected to be released into July, priced 4000 yen. Preorders are set to open on the 24th Feb.
Stay tuned to Tokunation as the page updates with more images of the latest AC figure!
After seeing a brief glimpse of this set in magazine scans earlier today, we have official images of the Arms Change AC09 Kamen/Armored Rider Kurokage & Tulip Hopper set!
This set includes Kamen Rider Kurokage Matsubokkuri (pine cone) arms and his transforming Lock Vehicle the Tulip Hopper. This set looks like it could be used to represent either Kurokage or the mass production Kurokage Troopers employed by Yggdrasil. The figure seems to strike a balance between the details of both types. Such as the more distinctly brown armor of Kurokage but the richer silver detailing of the Troopers.
As we continue to take a complete look at the Arms Change line of Kamen Rider Gaim we’ve got two new flavors in store for today’s gallery!
Today we have the AC04 2-pack of Pineapple & Ichigo arms! These pieces represent the first two additional arms changes for a rider we’ve seen in show and they both belong to Kamen/Armored Rider Gaim! This set includes arms changes only, there is no basic rider body included with them. So you’ll need to own one of the 4 scarce Armored Rider figures released so far in order to use them. Each new arms includes a unique visor/helmet, as well as a signature weapon for your rider of choice to wield.

Lock on!
Bandai has released new of the recently announced Figure Rise 6 inch Kamen Rider kabuto and Faiz model kits.
The images gives us a closer look at the accessory count and both will include a display stand. Faiz’s phone will be able to flip out and convert from phone and gun modes but even more shocking is that Kabuto will include the Kabuto Mizer, a weapon that both versions of his Figuarts missed.
In addition, Kabuto’s image gallery has all but confirmed that we’ll be getting a Dark Kabuto version.
Both kits are still scheduled to come out in March, with Faiz retailing 2000 yen and Kabuto costing 2300 yen.
This weeks epiosde of Kamen Rider Gaim will see the reveal of his latest and greatest form, Jinba Lemon Arms. But we’ve been teased about a figure of it for quite a while. Seen only in early solicits along side Shin Zangetsu as a blacked out image, finally the Arms Change figure Kamen Rider Gaim Jinba Lemon Arms has been revealed!
An additional image also reveals the first actual shots of Arms Change Kurokage & Tulip Hopper. Previous images were renders only, this is the first physical image of the set.
Bandai’s official site has put up a page for the previously-reported DX Lock Seed set featuring Durian and Donguri (or “Acorn” if you prefer).
In addition to the two DX Lock Seeds, this pack also includes two faceplates for the DX Sengoku Driver, featuring the profiles of Armored Riders Bravo and Gridon respectively.
This Premium Exclusive Set will open for orders on February 24 2014 and will be released in July 2014!
Melon, Lock on!
“By heaven’s decree”, we bring you another gallery from the wildly popular Arms Change toyline of Kamen Rider Gaim! Today we take a look at the mysterious white Armored Rider, Kamen Rider Zangetsu!
As a basic remold of Gaim, Zangetsu shares many design elements with his predecessor, but what really sets him aparts are the remolds and paint applications applied to him.. Even though Zangetsu is the rider least seen in the show, and in fact he’s already upgraded from this form, it seems to be the one Arms Change figure that’s hardest to find! Zangetsu seems to be the one figure that looks best in almost any Arms Change form as well, and one or two QC issues aside is an excellent figure.
Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to check out the full gallery of Arms Change Zangetsu. If you can find a Zangetsu for anything remotely close to retail price, now is the time to grab it. These things continue to rise in price. But if you miss it then don’t worry, AC Shin Zangetsu will be out on February 28th!
Ahead of his official February 28th release date, Bandai has just released a full set of official images for AC08 Arms Change Energy Rider Shin Zangetsu!
While the base body is a slight remold and repaint of standard Zangetsu, the Melon Energy Arms is a brand new fruit armor mold with another awesome asymmetrical transformation. Shin Zangetsu of course includes the signature weapon of the Energy Riders, the Sonic Arrow.
Are you a rabid fan of the Bandai’s ever enlarging Arms Change line? If so then click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post and let us know what you think of this figure.
And we’ve got two more awesome Legend Rider Lock Seeds to add to the Kamen Rider Gaim checklist! Youtube user otana7592 has posted up demos of the Kamen Rider Kabuto & Momotaros Lock Seeds. Kabuto’s Lock Seed is a Gaim-style Lock Seed with the phrase “Ten No Michi, My Way!” while Momotaros is a Zangetsu-style Lock Seed, with his catchphrase “Ore, Sanjou!” Check out the demos below!
