A new image of the secondary Rider for the 17th Hesei Series has been found online. This is our best look yet at Kamen Rider Specter!

Specter’s basic design is very similar to his counterpart, Kamen Rider Ghost and does appear to use the same type of Driver to henshin. Presumably, the blue form we are seeing is Specter’s own Ore Damashii– based on the Rider’s unique soul/Eyecon.

Kamen Rider Specter’s role in the Ghost story is mostly unknown at the time of writing. Be sure to tune in on October 4 2015 to find out the secrets of this new Rider!

Toei’s official YouTube channel has posted the full press conference revealing Kamen Rider Ghost to the public.

This video gives us an excellent discussion with the cast of this upcoming series, along with some quick looks at Ghosts’ fighting style.

Kamen Rider Ghost premieres on October 4, 2015!

Teased in silhouette form way back in July, we finally have an initial image of Kamen Rider Specter! The secondary rider for this years upcoming Kamen Rider Ghost.

Specter’s costume is incredibly similar to Ghost’s own basic form, Ore Damashii. Specter Damashii swaps out the orange for blue, features a new chest emblem, and also has a rather cool looking crest on his helmet to set him apart. It definitely sells the idea of these 2 sharing common powers and tech better than most 2 rider systems. This image also gives us a look at prototypes of the Gangan Hand & Driver.

We’ll keep you up to date as more information and images become available regarding Kamen Riders Ghost & Specter!

The official press conference reveal for the 17th Hesei-era Kamen Rider took place today in Japan, and we have learned several new facts about Kamen Rider Ghost! We now have a full introductory cast with character profiles to match!

*Kamen Rider Ghost (aka Takeru Tenkuji) will be played by Shun Nishime. His character is described as a carefree and cheerful young man.

*Actress Hikaru Osawa will join the cast as Takeru’s childhood friend, Akari. She is a university student with a strong interest in science who aids Takeru in ghost hunting.

*Takanuki Yanagi will portray another friend of Takeru- head priest Onari of the Tenku Temple.

*The cast also includes a mysterious hermit played by Naoto Takenaka. He offers guidance to Takeru and teaches him about the Eyecons.

*The main villain for this series, with the ability to summon the Ganma creatures is referred to only as The Mysterious Man and will be played by Yoshiyuki Morishita. Another villain known only as Alan will be played by Hayato Isomura. They are among the few who know the TRUE secret of the Eyecons…

Today  brings yet another early look at the upcoming 17th heisei kamen rider, Kamen Rider Ghost! 

– First up we have a brand new image giving us our first full bodied look at Ghost in 3 of his forms; Musashi Soul, Edison Soul, & Ore Soul.

– Next we have our first look at the various new weapons created from the combination of Ghost’s Ghost Gadgets with his Gangan Saber! Follow this link to see our breakdown of how those combinations work for each of Ghost’s Souls.

– Lastly we have our first clear look at how this years gimmick action figure line, Ghost Change, will work! In a similar fashion to the old COR line from Kabuto or the AC line from Gaim, the Soul “jackets” are accessories that snap on over the basic rider bodies. The jacket has a rotating face plat that when not connected to a rider gives the effect of a ghostly aura where the face should be. It would also apepar that the “sleeves” are jointed somewhat so as not to hinder the figures articulation. We know based on the Ghost Series release information that Ghost & Specter bodies will only be included with GC01 & GC03.

We’ll continue tot keep you up to date with all the Kamen Rider Ghost news we can as it becomes available!

Following up on the Ghost Gadget information, The Ghouly News has stumbled upon another find from Kamen Rider Ghost! This time we’re getting a better look at the upcoming Ghost Change series of gimmick figures. This years version of WAP, AC, TK, etc retail figures.

We’d previously known that GC01 would be Ghost Ore Soul, and that GC03 would be Specter, Specter Soul. And now we have some new images to match up with the rest of the sets as well:

  • GC01 Kamen Rider Ghost Ore Soul (October) 3456 yen. Includes a basic Ghost body and his jacket accessory as well as the Gangan Saber.
  • GC02 Musashi Soul & Edison Soul set (October) 2700 yen. Includes both Soul “jackets” and 2 weapons, 1 for each.
  • GC03 Kamen Rider Spectre, Specter Soul (November) 3456 yen. Includes a basic Specter body and his jacket accessory as well as the Gangan Hand.
  • GC04 Robin Soul & Billy the Kid Soul set (November) 2808 yen. Includes both soul “jackest” and 3 weapons/accessories.
  • GC05 Tutankhamun Soul & Nobunaga Soul set (December) 2700 yen. Includes both Soul “jackets” and 2 weapons.
  • GC06 Beethoven Soul & Benkei Soul set (December) 2700 yen. Includes both Soul “jackets” and 2 weapons/accessories.
  • GCEX Movie Wars 2016 2-Pack. This set is one we don’t know much about yet other than it includes the same as the above sets, 2 soul jackets and 2 accessories. Presumably one for Ghost & one for Specter.

As we’ve found out today, the additional Soul sets will be only the new set of armor for the rider with accessories, rather than including a whole new base body. You’ll need the base GC01 Ghost & G03 Specter to use each of the Soul 2-packs.

As we continue to have new pieces of the Kamen Rider Ghost toy catalog revealed we’ve finally come to the portion many have speculated on, the Ghost Gadgets! Credit to The Ghouly News for this latest set of finds!

A series of additional animal themed items that allow Ghost to carry out hit ghost hunting duties, each has 2 modes (object & animal) as well as a special combined form with the Gangan Saber dependent on the soul currently in use:

  • Condor Phone when combined with the Gangan Saber Ghost Robin Soul crossbow is formed
  • Bat Clock when combined for Ghost Billy Soul a rifle is formed
  • Cobra Mobile when combined a sickle for Ghost Tutankhamen Soul is formed
  • Spider Lantern and lastly when Kamen Rider Specters Gangan Hand and used with the Tutankhamen Soul, a hammer is formed!

More information is rolling in as well, like our first look at the Ghost Change series of gimmick figures!

Some more catalog images from the upcoming 17th Hesei Rider series have surfaced online, giving us some details regarding the arsenal of Kamen Rider Ghost!

Ghost (and the still-unseen Kamen Rider Specter) will transform using the Ghost Driver! This belt device will be sold with two Ghost Eyecons- the Ore Eyecon and the Edison Eyecon.

Next up is Kamen Rider Ghosts’ personal weapon- the GanGan Saber! According to recent rumors, the Saber can transform into several alternative configurations based on whatever Eyecon is used by Kamen Rider Ghost. By charging this Saber along with the Ghost Driver, Kamen Rider Ghost can perform the Omega Break attack! The GanGan saber will be sold with the Musashi Ghost Eyecon.

Last but certainly not least, is the weapon of Kamen Rider Specter- the GanGan Hand! This weapon appears to be a shotgun with a hand mounted on the front of the barrel, potentially for long-distance attacks. The GanGan Hand is packaged with the Specter Ghost Eyecon and can also perform an Omega Break attack.

More news for the 17th Heisei Kamen Rider series is rolling in and now we have concrete pictures and info! The following images give us our first clear look at Kamen Rider Ghost’s series logo. One which looks to incorporate further the overall Eye gimmick of the Ghost Eyecons.

Additionally we have some first looks at Ghost’s toyline. Up first is a silhouetted image of the secondary rider for the series, Kamen Rider Specter! This image also confirms the name of this series gimmick line (ala Arms Change or Tire Koukan). Ghost’s line is known as Ghost Change! Specter is labelled as GC03 which is telling. Kamen Rider Ghost Ore Soul and at least one of his alternate forms will be released first with Specter up after that!

Which speaking of we also get a look at GC01 Ghost Orel Soul while riding his VERY unorthodox Rider Machine. That’s right, a multi-piece combining machine, this year we have the Iguana Ghostriker! The combination of a black and very skeletal horse-like bike and a literal ghost ship! When the 2 combine together it’s clear where this machine get’s it’s name, as combined they form a giant robot Iguana! These images also offer a clear look at the very first DX Ghost Icon! The DX Ore Eyecon is Ghost’s default Eyecon that allows him to access his standard Ore Soul form.

Let’s go-go-go-Ghost!
