The next set of Kamen Rider Gaim Complete Selection Modification Lockseeds is coming and this time it is the Kureshima Lockseed Set, which will undoubtedly contain Lockseeds for both Kamen Rider Zangetsu and Kamen Rider Ryugen.

Of note – the teaser image for the Kureshima Lockseed Set is Kamen Rider Zangetsu in his Kachidoki Arms form – a form that was first featured on a stage show and later in the Kamen Rider Fan Club exclusive Gaim Gaiden story released a few months back.  Its inclusion will mark the first time any roleplay items for this form have been released (only a S.H. Figuart has been released).

The set will begin pre-orders via Premium Bandai Japan on April 6th.  While as of yet to be announced, we assume Team Kamen Rider and Bluefin Brands will also carry this item.  More details on the 6th!

“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!

TENKA, GOMEN!

If you might recall, Bandai teased us with the awesome new S.H.Figuarts for Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms earlier on in the month, The form hails from the Kamen Rider Zangetsu Stage play that was playing in Japan.

Last time we looked at this beautiful melon, we didn’t know if Bandai had plans to release it out to the public or not but it seems like public reaction’s been positive enough that Bandai will be putting some quantity of them into production.

New photos have emerged thanks once again to some data mining from Tokullector. At this time we know that it will be released in December and likely will be a Tamashii Web Shop limited item. Stay tuned, and we’ll be sure to provide you with an update as it’s made available.

DON’T SAY NO! JUST LIVE MORE!

The Kamen Rider Zangetsu Stage Play opened up in Japan last week on March 9th, and if you aren’t able to fly to Japan between then and March 31st 2019 to go see it then we have some very good news for you; as you may have already guessed from the title, the Zangetsu Stage Play will, in fact, be getting a home theater release in the near future.

Both the Blu-Ray release and DVD are currently up for pre-order on Amazon Japan as of the time of this writing. The DVD will retail for 6,261 yen while the Blu-Ray will retail for 8,669 yen and will also include the DX Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms Ride Watch.

Either way, both will see release on October 10th 2019.

The upcomoing Kamen Rider Zangetsu stage show has released a promotional poster for the upcoming show running March 9th 2019 through March 28th 2019. The stage show stars Yuki Kubota reprising his role as Takatora or Kamen Rider Zangetsu. The stage show is written by Nobuhiro Mouri and supervised by the legendary Gen Urobuchi, who was responsible for writing the popular Kamen Rider Gaim series that Kamen Rider Zangetsu is from.

This marks the second post-Kamen Rider Gaim project for the character of Kamen Rider Zangetsu, who starred in the first Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden movie.

Out of left field today comes scans of an upcoming Kamen Rider S.I.C. release – Kamen Rider Zangetsu Jimber Melon Arms! This is more of a “What if?” form, as it was never shown in the Kamen Rider Gaim show nor has this form ever been released at any other time. Basically – what if Kamen Rider Zangetsu got a Genesis Driver core and used his Melon Energy Lockseed along with his Melon Lockseed?

Kamen Rider Zangetsu Jimber Melon Arms is what you’d get! Pre-orders open tomorrow as this is a Premium Bandai release. Get in touch with your middle man today!
