The release of the Kachidoki Lock Seed is still a few months away but already we have our first preview thanks to a couple of photos that have been leaked online.

While some functionality of the Seed still remains a mystery we know a few things about it:

For starters, the Seed appears much larger then previous ones and it seems that it will have two modes. The photos show that it will act as a faceplate, and we’re given our first clear look at the head design of Kachidoki Arms.

The Kachidoki Lock Seed and DJ gun are both expected to be released this March.

Bandai have recently updated the Tamashii Nations website with new images of the forthcoming Kamen Rider Gaim S.H. Figuarts, announcing a special campaign to coincide with the release of Kamen Rider Gaim and Baron in May.

According to translation provided by Herotaku, a special stand will be included with Gaim while a Byōbu backdrop will come with Baron. Both figures will retail for 4104 yen each.

What’s also exciting about these images is we get our first look at S.H. Figuarts Ryugen and Zangetsu, whose release dates are yet to be confirmed!

The most successful merchandise line for any Kamen Rider series by Bandai of Japan has pumped out some incredible toys the last few months – and one of the most anticipated was none other than Arms Change Kamen Rider Zangetsu. Serving as the main antagonist in the Kamen Rider Gaim television series as of this writing, the character in the show just whoops up on all the other characters in a way that would make any superhero or super villain salivate.

So to determine how a white plastic remold of Kamen Rider Gaim in to Kamen Rider Zangetsu holds up, we turn to our great pal and TokuNation.com contributor baltmatrix, who provides us with yet another video review, this time of AC05 – Kamen Rider Zangetsu!

Earlier this month we showed you the 1st official image of SIC Kamen Rider Old 2. Today we follow up with the rest of the official images released recently by Tamashii. Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA will be bringing this figure over stateside in May for $47.99. Here’s more information from them:

Rider Fight! Kamen Rider no. 2 (Old) joins the SIC series, featuring an organic, master crafted sculpt that captures the character’s powerful silhouette. Rider 2 features a special display stand incorporating the fir…st major villain of the franchise, the fallen Okami Otoko (Werewolf Man). Special effect parts are included to replicate the Rider Kick and Punch finishing moves that have so famously done in hundreds of Kaijin. The set also includes interchangeable head parts, a belt part with the shutter closed, and 3 sets of interchangeable hands.

Read on to see the rest of the images!

This figure has one of two different names depending on where you first came familiar to him! To those who followed Kamen Rider Ryuki, this is Kamen Rider Tiger, a fierce warrior! For those who saw the US adaption, titled Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, then this is Kamen Rider Axe, another fierce warrior! Either way, this is the S.H. Figuart gallery of the figure brought to you by our very own ryan!

One of the coolest features of this figure is that the claw weapon accessory has each blade individually articulated via ball joint. That allows for some awesome poses as I’m sure your imagination is running wild with! Do yourself a favor and check out the full gallery!

The hottest thing in tokusatsu right now is Kamen Rider Gaim, and the hottest toys from that series are the Arms Change figures, which feature transformable fruits that change from fruit to armor, just like on the show! After reports came out that stated that Kamen Rider Gaim is setting franchise records for merchandise sales, fans everywhere began to fear that corners would be cut in production for supply to meet the demand (you can’t sell toys if you don’t have any left to sell!). Our very own baltmatrix finally got his set in (ask him about SAL vs EMS shipping!) and took the time to do a video review! Check it out below!

baltmatrix is a popular video reviewer for many of YOUR favorite toys – from tokusatsu toys like the Arms Change series to Super Sentai and Power Rangers Megazords, to the always collectible Transformers figures.

What do you think? Do Arms Change Mango & Kiwi meet the same standards set from all the previous releases, or are they a step above or below? Did Bandai of Japan try to be too innovative with this set, or was it just enough? Join us in the discussion!

Bandai is at it yet again with more collectible trinkets of your favorite Legend Heroes! The Arms Change line for Kamen Rider Gaim has proven to be one of Bandai of Japan’s biggest sellers this season so cashing in on that success with this unique set was a no brainer. Much like Ranger Keys, Rider Rings, and all those that came before it, Legend sets sell incredibly well.

Featured in Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle the Legend Rider Arms are this years movie exclusive power up. Generally reserved for the main rider, the main 4 riders from the series; Gaim (Wizard), Baron (OOO), Ryugen (W), Zangetsu (Fourze) each receive the “Arms” of a senior rider.

With the high sales of the Arms Change line and the in demand nature of this set, surely Bandai knows they can cash in on us pretty hard by making more Legend Arms? We can only hope! To check our or full gallery of this interesting set click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. More Arms Change galleries to come this week!
