Three new trademarks for Bandai Japan have surfaced online, potentially giving us some more information about the recently-trademarked new Rider series Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!

*First, the GamerDriver! This is most likely Ex-Aid’s transformation device.
*Next, the Rider Gashat– possibly a weapon or accessory.
*Last, the Gashacon Breaker– maybe related to this seasons’ collectible gimmick.

These listings have some fans speculating that Kamen Rider Ex-Aid may be a videogame/technology-themed series, similar to MegaRanger. However, this remains only a rumor at time of writing, no information relating to Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has been confirmed by official sources.

Feel free to join in our Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Rumor Thread to share your thoughts and fears about the upcoming series!

Melon Arms!

The elder Kureshima brother makes his debut in the S.I.C. line with S.I.C. Kamen Rider Zangetsu Melon Arms!

Zangetsu has been seen at a couple of events alongside S.I.C.’s of Gaim, Baron, & Ryugen for the last several months and so far is only the 2nd S.I.C. figure from Gaim to have confirmed release info. As with any S.I.C., Zangetsu gets his own spin on his standard design including an optional way to display the armor in Samurai pedestal style. He also includes a Musou Saber with interchangeable blade as well as an insanely cool version of the Melon Defender with a bonus pincer mode.

S.I.C. Kamen Rider Zangetsu Melon Arms will be released in November as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 8856 yen.

The lord of the Gurongi is at long last ready to awaken! After being seen at a couple of recent Tamashii Events, S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou N-Daguva-Zeba is finally scheduled for release!

As a companion to the upcoming Shinkocchou Seihou Ultimate Kuuga, N-Daguva-Zeba is absolutely gorgeous. However he may not be on everyone’s buy list. Daguva comes only with 3 additional sets of hands for accessories. SS releases tend to run at a bit higher price point anyway, but the the lack of accessories aren’t quite reflected in his price. That being said this figure looks like it would be an impressive shelf piece.

In any case S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou N-Daguva-Zeba is scheduled for a December 2016 release as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Retail price is 7344 yen.
