The 5th Armored Rider of Kamen Rider Gaim joins the fray in the ever popular Arms Change toyline! 

Like his fellow riders released before him Kamen Rider Gridon comes packed with his trademark Donguri (Acorn) Arms, his arms weapon the Donkachi, as well as a personal Lock Vehicle, the Dandeliner! Though the Dandeliner has only been seen to be used up to this point by the Kurokage troopers, this release would imply that Gridon will use it soon enough. Though if you try to troop build these vehicles for your Kurokage army, you’ll have a rather large excess of Gridons.

Gridon succeeds in being yet another fun an intuitive addition to an ever growing line, and his vehicle takes a crack at some of the shortcomings of the previously released Lock Vehicle bikes. On the whole this one is another clear winner for Bandai of Japan. As seems to be the case with almost any Arms Change figure, this one is also a very welcome addition to the line! To see a full 50+ image gallery of this set click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

This new round of magazine information has been very good to Gaim fans!

In addition to revealing two new Armored Riders, we also get our first close look at Gaim’s upgraded form- “Jinba Lemon Arms!” If you’ve seen Episode 15 you know how Kouta will achieve this form. And if you haven’t… stop reading this and go watch Episode 15 right now.

And as an extra bonus we also get the first real look at another Vehicle: LS-04, the Tulip Hopper!

Both items should be appearing on-screen in the very near future!

After what seemed like the longest hiatus in the history of television (it was a week, but a REALLY long week!), the next subtitled episode of Kamen Rider Gaim is available courtesy the folks of Aesir Subs. When we last left our heroes, they had discovered some horrible truths about themselves, their Sengoku Drivers, and about Yggdrasill.

In this episode, “The New Generation Riders Appear!”, we rejoin Kouta and Micchy after the events from the previous episode. We also get a look in to the past of Kaito and Mai – and learn an interesting connection that they share which you just know will become a focal point of the series later on! We also catch up with Hase, who continues to deal with the events that transpired to him from the previous episode. Jonouchi and Oren Pierre Alfonzo have some screen time, and of course, the debut of the first Energy Rider! And some previews for Episode 13 that will BLOW YOU AWAY!

Kamen Rider Gridon vs. Kamen Rider Zangetsu! Kamen Rider Baron vs. Kamen Rider Kurokage! Kamen Rider Baron vs. Kamen Rider Bravo complete with the rematch everyone has been waiting for – Mango Arms against Kamen Rider Bravo! And that’s all in the first 10 minutes of this episode! All that, more fights between other characters, and Kamen Rider Gaim finally gets some answers on where the Sengoku Drivers came from and an idea of what their purpose serves.

This episode stands as a turning point for the series – Kamen Rider Gaim narrates the end of the episode giving you the feeling that nothing will ever be the same going forward. If you could break a series in to seasons, this would be considered a season finale. What are you waiting for? Click here and join what is sure to be a highly discussed episode!
