Revealed earlier this week, we have an official look at the upcoming bike for Riderman, the S.H. Figuarts Riderman Machine!
This release will be offered in 2 varieties as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in May 2015. The single pack release of S.H. Figuarts Riderman Machine on it’s own will retail for 4860 yen. It includes as per usual for rider bikes, 2 interchangeable handlebars & a wheel base.
The 2-pack version of S.H. Figuarts Riderman Machine & Riderman will retail for 7560 yen. This 2-pack does not appear to include any new accessories to differentiate it from the single release Riderman you may already have. But it allows you to get both at once should you not have Riderman.
In a recent update the Tamashii Web Shop has revealed 2 more upcoming Tamashii Web Exclusive items! Though we don’t have pricing or specific release dates yet the shop has sent word along about S.H. Figuarts G-Stag & Reddie being released as a 2-pack! First revealed at Tamashii Nations 2014 this pair completes the trio of the original B-Fighters from Juuko B-Fighter! Or the original Big Bad Beetleborgs for many western collectors.
Next up is the reveal of S.H. Figuarts Riderman Machine! The personal bike of Riderman, sometimes known more simply as the “Rider Machine” was initially revealed at Tamashii Nations 2014 along with a slew of other as of yet unreleased Rider bikes.

These items are expected for a May or June 2015 release. We’ll continue to update you as more information on pricing & release dates becomes available for both of these items!
