Bandai’s plastic model kits for Kamen Rider makes a rather unexpected return with the recent announcement of the Figure-Rise 6 Kamen Rider Kabuto and Kamen Rider Faiz.

Figure-Rise 6 line is a scaled down version of the larger model kits making them somewhere between the size of an S.H.Figuarts. But what makes Faiz and Kabuto different from their Figuarts cousins is that the image suggests that they’ll not only include effect parts but armor pieces to convert them from either Axel Form or Masked Form.

No further information was given on these kits.

Continuing the 66Action Line, Bandai has announced a brand new wave.

Wave 2 of the line will introduce Kamen Rider Zangetsu, W Cyclone Joker, Den-O Sword Form, and finally: Kabuto Rider Form.

Currently scheduled for a release in April, an individual box should run you 380 yen.

“The man who will rule the world… must walk the path of American availability.”

Bluefin Distributing has picked up the much-hyped Kamen Rider Kabuto Renewal– an excellent opportunity for Western buyers and a great way to demonstrate the new Figuarts body-type!

Renewal Kabuto will be available in April 2014 for 50.99 USD

This time last week saw plenty of photos from the Tamashii Nation 2013[/URL] event in Japan, with certain figures such as the forthcoming Kamen Rider Gaim S.H. Figuarts only getting through with blurry images.

However Tamashii Nations[/URL] have now updated their website with their own official images from the event, so that some of these figures can be seen in all their glory! Most notable are the great shots of the Kamen Rider Black RX renewal, Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Baron figures, however there’s plenty more including:

  • The S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Blade Riders
  • S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kabuto Renewal Version
  • S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Agito Burning and Shining Forms
  • S.I.C. Rider-1 and Rider-2 new versions
  • Displays of the Super Sentai Reds and Kyoryuger Figuarts
  • The uncoloured prototype Gou from Shougeki Gouraigan
  • S.H. MonsterArts Kiryu, Gigan, Battra & Mothra

S.H.Figuarts has come a long way since beginning with the First and the Next Riders.

Kamen Rider kabuto was one of the first Heisei Riders to be released in the line, and sometime ago it was announced that he will be receiving a new Renewal figure. Recent magazine scans previewed this figure, comparing the old with the new.

The figure on the left is the 2.0 release while the toy on the right is the one that’s currently out.

Further release details to be announced.

The preview night of Bandai’s Tamashii Features Volume 6 is well under way and already we have some rather interesting reveals on our hands!

Our first real reveal of the event is a renewal version of Kamen Rider Kabuto, who is due out in 2014. This news comes hot on the heels of the Kamen Rider Black renewal that is due out later this year.

However the new Figuarts body is also on display at the event on a number of Rider stages, with one for every Heisei era Kamen Rider with the exception of Kamen Rider Wizard. While this could easily be a proof of concept display, it’s exciting nonetheless to see the first glimpses of what could become Kamen Rider Hibiki and Kamen Rider Kiva Figuarts!

Also included are some effect parts displays, a look at the various prototype stages the figures go through and a further look at the new glowing stage.

UPDATE
Multiple new photos added, courtesy of Cybergundam Blog.

Set for release in December, Bandai has just announced a special Metal Hero Ranger Key Complete Edition Set! This set features the 6 Metal Hero keys used by the Gokaigers in Super Hero Taisen Z for the Metal Hero Gokai Galleon Buster attack. Featured in this set are:

– Janperson from Tokuso Robo Janperson
– Jiraiya from Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya
– Jiban from Mobile Cop Jiban
– DraftRedder from Special Rescue Exceedraft
– BlueBeet from Juukou B-Fighter
– Kabuto from B-Fighter Kabuto

However that’s not all! As a part of this set 2 more mystery keys will be released! One from Kakuranger and one from Abaranger. The most likely guess for each is Ninjaman for Kakuranger since he never had a ranger key before and possibly Abare Pink since her key was featured briefly in an episode of Gokaiger. The price for this set is 10,500 yen, so Ranger Key Completionists get ready!
