Toei dips into the archives for the latest Kamen Rider Blu-Ray sets, making Kamen Rider 555 the oldest Hesei-era Rider to get a high-definition home video release!
A press release confirms that the first volume will come out January 14th, 2014 and include a round-table retrospective with the cast members!
Price details have not yet been confirmed.
Not long ago, it was announced that a special Kamen Rider Faiz themed Tamashi Act Stage stand will be released for this year’s Tamashi Features.
New in hand photos confirms initial speculation that an S.H.Figuarts Faiz figure will indeed be included with this set.
But what makes this figure unique is that it’s been treated with a special kind of paint that’s designed to react to the backlights that’s included with the set.
Tamashi Features will be happening this July! And those able to attend will be able to purchase this set for 6000 yen.
Bandai has put together an interesting new bonus for Kamen Raider Faiz fans- a “glowing” Tamashii Stage” that fully realizes the suit’s action details.
His stand will be sold during Tamashii Features in JULY and cost approximately 6000 Yen before shipping and fees.

Courtesy of Henshin Justice Unlimited we have a translation of the synopses for the forthcoming Kamen Rider Agito and Kamen Rider 555 novels, both of which were co-written by series head for each series Toshiki Inoue.
The Kamen Rider Agito novel, written by Inoue and Naohiro Okamura, is a retelling of the series plot, including major scenes from the show as well as new plot. The synopsis on the back of the book says:
Shoichi, a young man who is fighting as Agito against the Unknown, despite suffering from amnesia. Ryo has managed to awaken the power of Gills, but because of that his body is slowly decaying. As well as G3, Hikawa, how will their fates intervene?
Meanwhile the Faiz novel, written by Inoue and Kenji Konuta, is a sequel to the 2004 novel “Grotesque Flowers”.
It’s been 5 years and Takumi and Mari haven’t heard or seen from Keitaro, Kusaka, Naoya, or Kiba after the incidents from Grotesque Flowers. All of a sudden, out of nowhere a new shining warrior appears. No one seems to know who this person is. Takumi and Mari, who have both been trying to live peaceful lives, have to once again fight together.
The two novels are to be released on January 31st.
As the pictures start rolling in from Bandai’s 5th Anniversary Tamashii Nations event, online retailer Amiami have also begun extensive coverage via their Facebook page, as have hobby blog CyberGundam. On show are a variety of figures for the SH Figuarts line that should please both Kamen Rider and Super Sentai fans alike!
Among the displays was an extensive Kamen Rider Fourze setup, which featured all the figures release/to be released, including all 12 Zodiarts! The downside is, aside from Sagittarius all newly revealed Zodiarts look to be non-posable Figuarts Zero figures.
Next up is the “Legend of Masked Rider” display, which included Riderman, Tackle, Kamen Rider X, Apollo Geist and a Shocker Grunt among its ranks!
Also among the Kamen Rider displays is Blade, one of the highly-anticipated releases and an impressive Kamen Rider Faiz diorama including Kamen Rider Psyga!
The ENTIRE cast of Kamen Rider Ryuki is on display at the Festival, complete with Advent Beasts!
Rounding off the characters we have Kamen Rider Wizard in Flame, Land, Hurricane and Water styles!
Finally we have a number of Kamen Rider bikes! On show are Kamen Rider 1’s Cyclone, Ryuki’s Ride Shooter, Blade’s Blue Spader, Den-O’s Den Bird and Zeronos’ Zero Horn!
Metal Hero furthers its transition to Figuarts with Gavan Type-G, Shaider and Sharivan on display!
Finally on the Super Sentai things we have the reappearance of the long awaited Tyranno Ranger/Mighty Morphin’ Red Ranger, who recently made his debut at New York Comic Con a few weeks ago. Topping off this reveal was probably the most anticipated Zyu team member, Figuarts DragonRanger!
Alongside this was also a Go-Busters display, however this did not include any newly announced figures. Finally, Akibaranger also added a few new figures to its ranks – as well as the previously revealed Malshina, Delu Knight and Aoi-tan were also seen!
