“In that case, I need to put an end to that destiny right now!”

Born in a future without hope, Geiz Myokoin fought as a resistance fighter against the overlord, Oma Zi-O. But with everything in his life decimated by the overlord, Geiz resolved to travel to the past and eliminate him before he could ever rise power. Using a Time Mazine & Ziku Driver, Geiz comes to the present day as Kamen Rider Geiz! But faced with a Zi-O who’s anything but the evil overlord he knows, can Geiz bring himself to change the future? Or will a begrudging friendship with present day Sougo Tokiwa send history down another path?

The final secondary rider of the Heisei Era arrives! Following up from our review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O, Kamen Rider Geiz brings basically all the same qualities to the line. A minor retool and extensive repaint of the Zi-O mold, Geiz is a well rounded, well articulated figure that fits in fantastically with mainline figuarts as well Shinkocchou Seihou releases. While it lacks weapons like Zi-O, Geiz does include two 20 Rider Kicks Ridewatch Tamashii Stages!

The Tamashii Shanghai event just wrapped this weekend, but not without first giving us a couple of more brand new reveals for Ultraman collectors!

When Ultraman Zero was at the first height of his popularity several years ago, he seemed to receive new forms left and right. During the run of the Ultra Zero Fight TV series, Zero would go on to receive two new forms based on combinations of previous Ultras. Strong Corona, a fusion of Dyna’s Strong form & Cosmos’ Corona form, and Luna Miracle, a union of Cosmos Luna & Dyna Miracle. At the time Ultra-Act figure of these forms were made, and now, we finally have the official reveal of S.H. Figuarts for both Strong Coron & Luna Miracle!

Though Tamashii Nations has not yet announced release information for either of these figure’s, we can assume with Zero’s enduring popularity and the speed with which the Ultra S.H. Figuarts line is growing, that we could receive this information fairly soon. We’ll update you when that information becomes available.
