in the up coming Kamen Rider Gaim X Wizard Movie War, an evil version of Kamen Rider Gaim makes his appearance.
And the new Toy Catalogue scans reveal the DX Blood Orange Lock Seed which will include his own accompanying plate.
The DX Blood Orange Lock Seed set will be released in December for 1800 yen.
Yet another new toy listing for this brand-new Rider series has turned up online!This gives us more details about the previously-revealed “Genesis Driver” that vitalizes energy from the LockSeeds.
Going by the listings, Riders who use the Genesis Driver shall be known as “Energy Riders” (as opposed to Gaim currently being known as “Armored Rider when using the Sengoku Driver).
In addition, the scans reveal three new Energy Riders for the series, tentatively referred to as Kamen Riders Rain, Do-Q and O-gi. This information appears to support the theory of additional FEMALE Riders in this series!
With these three new introductions (and the apparent Movie War Exclusive previously shown), Gaim is now up to NINE Kamen Riders. And we’re only two episodes in folks! :)
TAG Hobby has posted a scan and new images of a new line from Bandai coming in January 2014, 66action Kamen Rider! These figures are 380 yen each and are blind-boxed figures. The style is similar to Super Deformed(SD) and the figures sport full articulation. The blind-box format and articulation are reminiscent of Bandai’s other similar lines such as Gundam Assault Kingdom and that one Evangelion micro-figure line.
Each case ships with 10 individually boxed figures. In wave 1 there are 4 different figures:

Though we’ve had a lot of good news in the last couple days unfortunately we have some bad news today. Tomoyuki Dan, most famously known to tokusatsu fans for his role as the Weather Dopant/Shinkuro Isaka on Kamen Rider W, has passed away from an aortic dissection. He passed away in his home on the evening of October 10th, he was 50 years old.
Fans may also recognize Tomoyuki for his work voicing over Christian Bale’s Batman character in the Japanese releases of the Dark Knight Trilogy, or for his roles in such anime as Victory Gundam, Naruto Shipuuden, or Ghost in The Shell, as well as his long list of other anime voice acting credits. As with any toku alum he will be missed.

A recent magazine interview offers several key insights on the newest Hesei Rider from the excited new director, Ryuta Tasaki.
Highlights from the interview include:
*Gaim’s various dance teams are a symbolic tribute to Japan’s Warring States.
*Both Tasaki & head writer Urobuchi had grown tired of the “2 Rider” default present since W. In addition both are big fans of Kamen Rider Ryuki, which inspired them to work towards a drama-focused series.
*Urobuchi’s main goal for the early arcs of the series is to “…build up a story that most fans are used too, only to tear it down with new and surprising twists.”
Today Bandai have updated the Tamashii Nations website with a special page dedicated to the forthcoming renewal S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black and Battle Hopper. The page features several images of the new figures, alongside the soon-to-be-rereleased Shadow Moon figure.
However this isn’t the best part of the page!
At the very bottom it tells fans to stay tuned for future developments of the Kamen Rider Black RX series (which was also adapted in the US as the Masked Rider series), with a teaser image of a brand new figure!

Only one episode into the 15th Heisei-era Kamen Rider series and new details about the future are pouring out!
This latest magazine scan reveals a new model of Driver, acting as an alternative to the Sengoku Driver currently used by Kamen Rider Gaim. The “Genesis Driver” acts as a juicer for the Melon Energy Seeds, and appears to be the transformation device for Kamen Rider Zangetsu. Other rumors suggest the Genesis Driver will be a powerup accessory for the Sengoku Driver and every Rider will be able to use the Energy Seeds. Details are yet to be confirmed.
In addition, Zangetsu’s main weapon has apparently been revealed. This DX “Sonic Arrow” uses multiple Lock Seeds to fire and comes with the Lemon Energy LockSeed by default.
The scans also include the mysterious “Peach & Cherry Arms” Users mentioned previously, suggesting some sort of relationship to Kamen Rider Zangetsu.
DX Genesis Driver & Sonic Arrow will both be available for sale in December!
