In case you missed it, the Rider Kicks Figure lineup is a new budget action figure series from Bandai. We’ve previously seen the crew of Kamen Rider Build done up in this form factor, but now here’s our first look at the main Rider himself: RKS Kamen Rider Zi-O!
RKS Kamen Rider Zi-O will be releasing in September for 2160 yen.
As well as the various suits from the Ultraman manga, Bandai’s Figure-rise Standard line also had plenty to show off from the Kamen Rider franchise at this year’s Summer Wonderfest. The most notable item on display was a coloured version of the line’s Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Level 2 model kit, whose release date has yet to be confirmed. Alongside it was also the recently released Kamen Rider Build RabbitTank kit.
Also on display were Kamen Rider Faiz and Kamen Rider Kabuto, who were both previously released as part of the Figure-rise 6 range. Whether these two models here are different or about to be reissued (and if so if any changes have been made) is unknown, but we’ll bring you more news as it comes!
The Summer Wonderfest 2018 news continues with the reveal of Figure-rise Standard 1/12 scale Ultraman Suit 7.4 and Ultraman Ace Suit model kits! As seen in the currently ongoing ULTRAMAN manga series, these suits are based upon the original Ultraseven and Ultraman Ace designs and worn by the manga’s version of Dan Moroboshi and Seiji Hokuto respectively.
The prototypes on show are currently unpainted so may not be released for some time, but these come as an affordable alternative to those who missed out on or skipped the Ultra-Act x S.H. Figuarts releases. Check out the full sized images after the jump!
This year is certainly shaping up to be the year of Gridman.
In case you missed it, an awesome new candy toy set of Gridman & God Zenon was announced by Bandai just a few hours ago. Thanks to a new pre-order link that just went up on P-Bandai we can now confirm that this set does indeed belong to the Super Minipla line here’s the latest on Super Minipla Gridman and God Zenon Set!
Pre-Orders for the Super Minipla Gridman & God Zenon set will open up July 26, 2018 and will ship sometime in November 2018 the whole package will cost 6,480 yen before shipping and middleman fees apply.
ACCESS CODE: GRIDMAN!
The lead up to the release of the SSSS Gridman anime series is sure to result in a surge of new original Gridman merchandise, and that wave has already kicked off with the reveal of new Gridman & God Zenon candy toy figures! Though the watermark shows that the figures will be released under Bandai’s Shokugan label, it is currently unconfirmed whether these figures are SHODO, Super Minipla or an entirely new line of toys.
The articulated Gridman figure features a selection of alternate hands and his Plasma Blade, while God Zenon can be separated into its Thunder Jet, Twin Driller and God Tank components (the Twin Driller also includes Gridman’s Barrier Shield). Of course, these vehicles can also combine together with Gridman to form the mighty Thunder Gridman!
We’ll bring you more information on these exciting new toys as its released. But in the meantime, check out the full selection of images after the jump!

As Kamen Rider Build approaches its final episodes, new merchandise has come to light. Premium Bandai is set to release the DX Last Pandora Panel White, Last Pandora Panel Black, and Black Lost Bottles Set. These items play a prominent role in the later episodes, with the Black Lost Bottles being an important plot point. While the Pandora Panels are just repaints of the original Pandora Panel, two of the Lost Bottles are only obtainable in this set- the Hasami (Scissors) and Spanner Lost Bottles. While collectors may already have a majority of these Lost Bottles in their original silver and purple color scheme, this black and gold set is a perfect opportunity to obtain the ones that are harder to find, such as Kuwagata and CD.
The set is now available for preorder, priced at 8640 yen with a January 2019 release date.
