A teaser poster has been released for an upcoming V-Cinema project starring the Time Riders of Kamen Rider Zi-O!
Titled NEXT TIME: Geiz Majesty this film apparently stars Kamen Rider Geiz and will likely take place after the conclusion of the series. More information is expected to be release after this weekends’ final Zi-O episode.
Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Kamen Rider reveals!

In the immortal words of Woz,
“Rejoice! He is heir to the power of all riders”.
Kamen Rider Zi-O is nearing it’s end and the impending start of the Reiwa Era of Kamen Rider is on the horizon. And as this series and the Heisei Era come to an end, Tamashii Nations has just released the first of Zi-O’s power ups in figure form. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O Build Armor is the first stepping stone along Sougo Tokiwa’s path to the future where he rules. Will he be a benevolent overlord, or succumb to the evils of Oma Zi-O? Time will tell.
For now, we’re tackling this first in a line of Zi-O Armor Time upgrades in the same we always have, with a comprehensive gallery & review! Zi-O Build Armor set the standard for what was to come with many of the shows’ various power ups as well as many that never made it in. This figure likewise sets an incredibly solid & stable standard for how the Zi-O line should progress from here on. A stylish figure with tons of personality inherited from both of it’s parent designs, and armed with the Drill Crusher Crusher (yes!) it’s an excellent addition to the power set of this benevolent overlord.
Check out a full 50+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O Build Armor after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. If you’d like to take a look back at the designs that influence this figure you can check out our galleries of Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Tank Form and Kamen Rider Zi-O!
Premium Bandai has revealed two new Ridewatch releases for the soon to be released Kamen Rider Zi-O: Over Quartzer film!
First up, a 3-pack for the villains exclusive to the film! These are Ridewatches for Kamen Riders Barlckxs, Zoshinj, & Zamonas. Each of these characters is of course based on the unique riders who qualify as Heisei Kamen Riders, but aren’t generally counted towards the era. Each of their watches interacts with the previously released DX Ziku Driver. This set details for 4950 yen and will be released as P Bandai exclusive in December.
And to round out the movie watches, a brand new watch for Kamen Rider Zi-O will also be released. The Zi-O Oma Form watch will be actually be releasing a month earlier than the above 3-pack, in November. Based on Oma Zi-O, this movie exclusive power-up will give Sougo all the strength and abilities of the future overlord Oma Zi-O! This watch will be released in November as a P Bandai exclusive for 2220 yen.
“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!
A new round of magazine scans has begun circulating the Internet, giving fans a few hints at the upcoming adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O!
Taking center stage this month is Zi-O’s ultimate configuration- Kamen Rider Zi-O Ohma Form! An upgrade based on his tyrannical future self, this form is stronger than any previously used by the King Of Time- even channeling the powers of all previous Kamen Rider Final Forms! The exact origins of Ohma Form are not detailed; this story will be told in full during the upcoming summer movie Over Quartzer.
And it seems Kamen Rider Geiz also has a new form on the horizon! An upcoming Hyper Battle DVD is teased, with Geiz gaining new powers based on Kamen Rider Ghost thanks to a new RideWatch– the Bibiru RideWatch!
Last but not least, it seems some passing-through Kamen Riders will be returning once again! Both Kamen Rider Decade and Kamen Rider DiEnd will appear in the series, once again grappling with control over Rider history.
Definitely some exciting times ahead for Kamen Rider fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider Zi-O reveals!

Bandai Japan has released a few new images of the next RideWatch for Kamen Rider Zi-O!
This particular RideWatch is the most powerful of all- the golden Grand Zi-O RideWatch unites the powers of all 20 Heisei Era Kamen Riders to activate the King of Times’ ultimate configuration.
The DX Grand RideWatch will be available from all major tokusatsu retailers beginning in June 2019!
After being displayed last month at Tamashii Nations Tokyo, we finally have a clear look at the official images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O II! The page for this release is now live on P-Bandai.
Scheduled for an October release, Zi-O II’s retail price is 6380 yen. However, as seems to be the case more often these days, don’t let the official pics fool you. While Zi-O II definitely comes with the signature Saikyo Girade, he does *not* include the Zikan Girade. Despite what these images suggest, the only way to get a Zikan Girade is still having purchased the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Ride Striker. The two swords should still becapable of combining, but you’ll need both of those releases to utilize it.
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O II will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, so be sure to keep an eye on your favorite middleman services and retailers for pre-orders.
