S.H.Figuarts has come a long way since beginning with the First and the Next Riders.
Kamen Rider kabuto was one of the first Heisei Riders to be released in the line, and sometime ago it was announced that he will be receiving a new Renewal figure. Recent magazine scans previewed this figure, comparing the old with the new.

Only approaching it’s third episode it would appear that Kamen Rider Gaim is about to have another round of reveals! An image has surfaced showcasing several of the various Gaim Armored Riders getting ready for a battle royale in the upcoming Gaim/Wizard film! The image show 5 riders (suit actors), each wearing only a basic suit, helmetless with no fruit arms equipped. Shown in the foreground are Baron, Ryugen, and Gaim, and in the background Gritton and the recently revealed rider, Kurokage!
A second image also shows what may be the identity of Kamen/Armored Rider Girtton. Based on the information attached to the image it’s speculated that each of the previously seen Teams in Gaim will have a rider in one form or another. Gritton appears to be related to Team Invitto from episode 5 where the character will make their first appearance. Gritton is possibly
Quarterly magazine “The Kamen Rider” has interviewed the head writer of our newest tokusatsu craze. Gen Urobuchi had quite a few tidbits to offer about the production of the show and the direction this series will be taking!
Highlights from the interview include:
*Gaim will be an overall fast-paced series to sell toys and to make sure the younger audience is not bored by Rider antics.*Urobuchi’s favorite character to date is the (as yet unrevealed) Kamen Rider Griton, referred to as “lovely.”
*Gaim’s first episodes are very light in comparison to the heavy stuff intended for the future.

On more than one occasion we’ve brought you the news of possible new riders and forms in Kamen Rider Gaim. The new Energy Riders Rain, Do-Q & O-Gi earlier today, the Genesis Driver Initial Scans, and the first Peach Energy Seed info.
Well today we bring your attention to something that you may not have noticed if you didn’t look carefully. Just after the Kamen Rider Gaim opening theme plays, as with all tokusatsus, the sponsor credits roll. In Gaim’s case as the sponsors roll by he mounts his bike the Sakura Hurricane, and after the camera pans down to a floor full of locks. Looking at the reflection Gaim casts it’s very apparent that we’re looking at a completely different helmet and possibly suit design. Perhaps even a new Gaim form!
The reflection shows a Gaim with a much more pronounced helmet that would have been common of a warrior from the Sengoku era. We also see that the normally off center crest on his helmet is actually a trident! And it would appear that his visor is deep red rather than standard orange. This form should not be confused with the previously confirmed Warrior God Gaim/Blod Orange Gaim. This could be an entirely new form for Gaim that was unknown til now!
