“BAKAMON! Haji o shiri nasai! NEVER GIVE UP!!!” Even though the series is over, Gaim continues to produce its merchandise through Premium Bandai. The latest release from this past weekend, is the Premium Bandai Gashapon Lockseed Donguri (Oren Voice Version) and Darkness Lockseed set.

The Donguri (Oren Voice Version) Lockseed, otherwise known to some as the Fake Donguri Lockseed, made its debut in Episode 17, bringing some comedy relief to a serious situation in that episode. Created by Oren Pierre Alfonzo, otherwise known as Kamen Rider Bravo, the Lockseed was used by his protégé, Hideyasu Jonouchi, otherwise known as Kamen Rider Gridon.

The Darkness Lockseed set consists of the Dark Orange and Dark Lemon Energy Lockseeds. These two Lockseeds make their debut in Gaim’s Summer movie, “Great Soccer Battle! Golden Fruits Cup!” used by the brainwashed Kouta Kazuraba, aka the titular Kamen Rider Gaim, to transform into the evil Gaim-Yami.

Note that this set is a Gashapon style set, meaning they lack the LED and springloaded action that DX Lockseeds do, and that they need to have their back button repeatedly hit to make the sounds. Though this set was released this past weekend, another batch of it was up for preorder up until September 17th, with an expected release date for that batch being November 2014.

The Premium Bandai DarkLiner Robo will cost 12960 Yen before shipping and middleman fees. If you’re interested then contact your buyer of choice before its release in December 2014

Even approaching the end, Arms Change still manages another surprise!

Previous listings had hinted at one more Premium Bandai Arms Change exclusive action figure. Now, a new teaser has come online proving that the Premium release in question is Yomotsu Heguri Arms– the interesting new final form unlocked by Mitsuzane seen in recent magazine scans. Preorders for this figure will open in September and cost 4000 Yen.

In addition Premium Bandai will be offering a special DX Yomi LockSeed complete with a new Sengoku Driver faceplate based on this new form. This set will open for orders late August and cost a mere 2000 Yen.

Continuing it’s trend of bringing actors back in to play their characters and sell merchandise Bandai of Japan has returned with the 2 key members of Team Baron! Zach AKA Kamen Rider Knuckle & Peco the soon to be Kamen Rider Shin Kurokage from the Gaim Summer Film!

Today Zack and Peco have dropped in to advertise upcoming DX Lock Seed premium sets. Zack is of course advertising his DX Kurumi (walnut) Lock along with the blank/Knuckle Rider indicator faceplate. As well as briefly mentioning the ACPB04 Arms Change Knuckle figure.

Meanwhile in a surprise reveal Peco has stopped in to advertise/announce the DX Matsubokuri (pinecone) Energy Lock Seed! Currently this lock is exclusive to Gaim’s upcoming Summer Film. It allows Peco to transform into the energy rider Shin Kurokage! This certainly raises hopes for anyone who thought BOJ might forget a rider or two from this franchise.

The mere existence of this lock means we could still see an Arms Change or SH Figuart of even this most obscure rider!

LOCK ON!

The latest Premum Bandai Lock Seed set to go up for pre order features the main villain from the Heisei VS Showa movie: Armored Rider Fifteen and the official images of this set have finally gone up.

Rather than being based on a fruit, this unique Lock Seed appears to borrow more of a skeletal motif and the set itself which includes both Lock Seed and Face Plate is scheduled to ship out this August 2014 for a surprisingly wallet friendly price of of 2160 yen.
