Surprise!

The 98 episode series run of the original Kamen Rider series (1971-1973) is available to stream, for free, with English subtitles on the streaming service tubitv by Shout! Factory TV.

(Editor’s Note:  Link removed)

It would appear that the rumors may hold some merit that Shout! Factory has acquired some sort of license for Kamen Rider in the United States what with their logo on the graphic.  Obviously, we await more details.  Stay tuned!

2013 marks the fifth anniversary of Bandai’s fan-favorite “SH Figuarts” toyline. And as a way of commemorating this occasion, Tamashii has announced a new type of posing stands for their Kamen Rider figures!

These “Rider Stages” will offer unique icons for each corresponding Rider, and offer a wide range of posing features beyond the usual play value.

Exact release dates & prices have not yet been confirmed but the promotion for these Stands will run from April to June (possibly corresponding with today’s announced Rider Reissue Figuarts).

Yesterday marked the 75th birthday of the late Kamen Rider creator Shotaro Ishinomori! Ishinomori worked on a number of titles, ranging from Cyborg 009 to the likes of Zelda! Sure we know him from his work on the Rider genre of Tokusatsu, but did you also know he held a Guinness World Record? More from Comics Alliance:

After working with Tezuka, Ishinomori branched out on his own to create a body of work that would eventually be given the Guinness World Record for the most pages published by a single author, clocking in at a pretty staggering 128,000 pages

Not too shabby for Osamu Tezuka’s former assistant!
