Some of the first-ever Kamen Rider figures to be made available via Premium Bandai USA are still available to order.  Of course, we’re talking about the model SO-DO figure kits!  These incredibly easy-t0-assemble figures feature a range of articulation and many of them have never seen releases as S.H. Figuarts – so they’re the first official toys of your favorite forms of your favorite Kamen Rider characters!

There are two sets currently available at Premium Bandai USA.

  •  Kamen Rider Gaim – Kurokage & Knuckle Set

  • Kamen Rider Gaim – Bravo & Gridon Set
    • This set comes with Kamen Rider Bravo, Kamen Rider Gridon, Kamen Rider Ryugen Kiwi Arms, and Kamen Rider Baron Mango Arms.  This is the first official toy release of Kamen Rider Ryugen Kiwi Arms (excluding the ability to create the figure via the Arms Change toys).

In a surprise announcement, Team Kamen Rider shared the news that the Kamen Rider Gaim – Great Soccer Battle! Golden Fruits Cup! movie will be added to the Toei Tokusatsu World Official YouTube channel at 5pm PT / 8pm ET on Friday, December 18th.  We reached out to Team Kamen Rider to confirm that, yes, the movie will be subtitled in English for Western speaking fans.

This movie takes place during the Kamen Rider Gaim television series but happens in a parallel dimension.  Fans of the show will see familiar faces not seen in quite some time.  Newcomers will get to experience the entirety of the lineup of Kamen Rider Gaim characters in a single movie including movie-only Riders and forms however it will a lot of the story elements if you haven’t watched the series (ie: the surprise of certain characters becoming Kamen Riders or the identity of certain forms).

Don’t say no – just live more!

One of the most successful lines (in terms of merchandise) for Kamen Rider in the last decade – Kamen Rider Gaim – is making the leap from DX toys to CSM and our wallets couldn’t be more afraid!  Before we begin – what is CSM?  It stands for Complete Selection Modification.  It is basically your DX toys on nerd-steroids to make them as identical to the show as possible and usually with a lot of added features as well.  Those nerd-steroids come with an increased price-tag making these items truly for the ultimate collector and not the casual passerby.

Announced and revealed today – the CSM Sengoku Driver. And while today’s announcement probably didn’t offer Kamen Rider Gaim fans everything they wanted in one shot it does offer quite a lot.  Let’s look at the details and digest them so we’re all on the same page.

CSM Sengoku Driver – Kamen Rider Gaim (March 2021)

  • CSM Sengoku Driver (silver belt)
  • Orange, Kachidoki, Kiwami Lock Seeds
  • Attachment piece for Kiwami/Kachidoki
  • Kamen Rider Gaim Faceplate
  • Lock Seed holder x2
  • Genesis Core
  • Yellow Belt
  • Silver  Belt
  • 35,200 yen

CSM Sengoku Driver – Project Ark (May 2021)

  • CSM Sengoku Driver
  • Blank Faceplate
  • Yellow or Silver Belt (different versions available)
  • 17,600 yen

The CSM Sengoku Driver will come with a large plethora of sound effects, voice clips, and background music from the show.  Thanks in part to an interview with the actors for Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Baron, we know that there are many theme songs from the show included in the CSM Sengoku Driver, including the fan-favorite “Ranbu Escalation” song.

Pre-orders begin later today in Japan.

Stay tuned for more details including information on a North American release via Bluefin Brands and Team Kamen Rider.

“This ends today!” 

It’s been 8 years since the events with the Inves, since Kouta Kazuraba left Earth. Now, Takatora Kureshima finds himself in the war torn Torkia Republic, the old testing ground for the Yggdrasill Corporation’s Project Ark. The populace lives largely underground amidst secret deadly battles that gangs of young men are forced to engage in, using the powers of Kamen Riders! As these proto-riders battle, and Takatora struggles to regain his memories, scheming characters from his past have their own goals. Has Takatora truly changed? Can he escape his past? Will the true Kamen Rider Zangetsu take the stage once more?

Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms is a brilliant release from Tamashii Nations. Taking the now 6 year old Gaim Kachidoki Arms mold and giving it a fresh color pallet and some new parts, Tamashii has managed to create a fitting final form for the elder Kureshima brother. Armed with the Kachidoki Flags & DJ Gun Taiken Mode, this figure will be a commanding presence in any collection. And if you happen to have the other Zangetsu releases on hand, you’ll see just how perfectly this form fits in with the family.

We’ve assembled a full 50+ image gallery for your viewing pleasure after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the complete gallery thread. Next time, we head back to the Morphin’ Grid with a new gallery of Lightning Collection Blaze!

“WAKE UP!”

Shy, anxious, fearful, Wataru Kurenai would rather craft violins like his father Otoya. But as the son of the Fangire Queen as well, he was destined to become Kamen Rider Kiva, the Fangire King! And like the King’s before him Wataru has one trusted partner, a member of the Kivat family, Kivat Bat III. With Kivat in tow, Wataru sets out to fight Fangires and protect humanity, just as his father did (occasionally) 20 years prior. Now it’s time to break the chains on a review we’ve waited years for with S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva!

As the Heisei Era ends, Tamashii Nations has at long last delivered on the promise of completing the 20 Heisei Riders! With Kamen Rider Kiva, the entire lineup of main riders is complete, and let me say, it’s incredibly satisfying. Kiva brings to a close an era of incredible heroes and does so in gorgeous fashion. With the trademark accuracy and engineering of the Seihou line, Kiva looks as though he walked right off the set. Including his 6 Fuestles, the Hell’s Gate leg for his Rider Kick, a Ridewatch Tamashii Stage, and the ever present Kivat Bat III, Kiva is a tremendously welcome sight to any Kamen Rider collection.

You can check out our full 100 image gallery below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums at the bottom of this post. It features not only the 20 Heisei Riders, but also as many Kiva cameos as I could make happen including TV riders Ixa, Rising Ixa, Emperor Kiva, & Dark Kiva, movie villains Kamen Riders Rey and Arc, & even Decade’s own Kiva-La! Please join in the discussion and let us know what you think of this release which finally closes out the Heisei Era. Next time, it’s Armor Time with a brand new gallery from Kamen Rider Zi-O!

RIDER TIME!

As you might recall, we got a nice teaser from Bandai announcing that a SODO set for the fan favorites Another Riders was coming down the pipeline, and we finally have our first look at these beauties thanks to some new photos that were recently released.

SODO Another1 will contain four Another Riders: Another Ex-Aid, Another Build, Another Faiz, and Another Gaim the set will release in July 2019.

With this being numbered as the first set, one can only hope that we’ll see the other Another Riders somewhere down the road.
