Following up on the Ghost Gadget information, The Ghouly News has stumbled upon another find from Kamen Rider Ghost! This time we’re getting a better look at the upcoming Ghost Change series of gimmick figures. This years version of WAP, AC, TK, etc retail figures.

We’d previously known that GC01 would be Ghost Ore Soul, and that GC03 would be Specter, Specter Soul. And now we have some new images to match up with the rest of the sets as well:

  • GC01 Kamen Rider Ghost Ore Soul (October) 3456 yen. Includes a basic Ghost body and his jacket accessory as well as the Gangan Saber.
  • GC02 Musashi Soul & Edison Soul set (October) 2700 yen. Includes both Soul “jackets” and 2 weapons, 1 for each.
  • GC03 Kamen Rider Spectre, Specter Soul (November) 3456 yen. Includes a basic Specter body and his jacket accessory as well as the Gangan Hand.
  • GC04 Robin Soul & Billy the Kid Soul set (November) 2808 yen. Includes both soul “jackest” and 3 weapons/accessories.
  • GC05 Tutankhamun Soul & Nobunaga Soul set (December) 2700 yen. Includes both Soul “jackets” and 2 weapons.
  • GC06 Beethoven Soul & Benkei Soul set (December) 2700 yen. Includes both Soul “jackets” and 2 weapons/accessories.
  • GCEX Movie Wars 2016 2-Pack. This set is one we don’t know much about yet other than it includes the same as the above sets, 2 soul jackets and 2 accessories. Presumably one for Ghost & one for Specter.

As we’ve found out today, the additional Soul sets will be only the new set of armor for the rider with accessories, rather than including a whole new base body. You’ll need the base GC01 Ghost & G03 Specter to use each of the Soul 2-packs.

Some more catalog images from the upcoming 17th Hesei Rider series have surfaced online, giving us some details regarding the arsenal of Kamen Rider Ghost!

Ghost (and the still-unseen Kamen Rider Specter) will transform using the Ghost Driver! This belt device will be sold with two Ghost Eyecons- the Ore Eyecon and the Edison Eyecon.

Next up is Kamen Rider Ghosts’ personal weapon- the GanGan Saber! According to recent rumors, the Saber can transform into several alternative configurations based on whatever Eyecon is used by Kamen Rider Ghost. By charging this Saber along with the Ghost Driver, Kamen Rider Ghost can perform the Omega Break attack! The GanGan saber will be sold with the Musashi Ghost Eyecon.

Last but certainly not least, is the weapon of Kamen Rider Specter- the GanGan Hand! This weapon appears to be a shotgun with a hand mounted on the front of the barrel, potentially for long-distance attacks. The GanGan Hand is packaged with the Specter Ghost Eyecon and can also perform an Omega Break attack.

Teased once previously, Hobby Japan have Finally confirmed release details for the upcoming S.I.C. Kamen Rider Garren King Form!

A form exclusive to Kamen Rider Blade’s S.I.C. Hero Saga stories & design art, Garren King Form is a gloriously ornate final form power up for fan favorite rider Tachibana. Never produced in toy form before, Garren King is based on the Giraffa Beetle Undead. The production of this figure depended directly on the sales of the previously released Leangle Jack Form, so it would appear that was ultimately a successful figure.

S.I.C. Garren King Form includes his massively powered up King Garren Rouzer, 6 additional hands, and a splayed deck of Undead Cards for the Rouzer. Look for Garren to be released in January for 8316 yen!
