A very interesting news story has just been revealed!
It seems Kamen Rider Gaim will be teaming up with the Android Kikaider for at least one episode this May, as a cross-promotion for the upcoming Kikaider reboot film.
Previously Toei had used Super Sentai to promote an older property revival (which led to the “Go-Busters VS Gavan” teamup) but now Gaim gets to be the launching point!
Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!
Arriving a few months after the Kikaider REBOOT movie hits Japanese cinemas, the original Android Kikaider joins the S.H. Figuarts line!
Based on the design from the Shotaro Ishinomori‘s original 1972 series, Kikaider is fairly light on the accessories – apparently only coming with a selection of alternate hands.
He can be yours this September, released as a Tamashii web exclusive priced 4860 yen.
Ishinomori’s legendary dual-colored hero is finally heading to Figuarts!
A recent magazine scan gives us a quick look at Kikaider’s Figuarts form; this release seems to use the iconic design rather than the revised version from the upcoming new film. For better or worse Kikaider appears to be marked as a Tamashii Web Exclusive.
Rival character Hakaider will also be appearing in toy form but at the moment his Figuart is only seen in shadow.
Kikaider is listed as a September release with an estimated price tag of 4860 Yen!
This is our first full-length trailer for the revival of iconic tokusatsu hero “Kikaider.” The trailer features our best look to date at the revised suit and combat tactics of this legendary hero, along with some new details about the supporting cast in this revival project.
Kikaider returns to theaters on May 24 2014!
