More images from the recently announced Gaim Gaiden project have surfaced from 2chn revealing a pair of new Armored Riders that will be debuting in the V Cinema in addition to two new forms for Baron and Zangetsu! 


First off, the Apple lock seed will be returning this time in the form of Taboo. The Taboo Lock Seed will be utilized by Kamen Rider Baron to give birth to Taboo Arms but it seems that the seed will also be utlized by a new Armored Rider: Eden.

On the Zangetsu side, we have the Proto-10 Lock Seed which seems to be based on the Sukia(Watermelon Arms) Seed! The most significant change here is the addition of a gating gun to the Melon Defender. The 2nd New Rider is Kamen Rider Hades whom appears to be using the Dragon Fruit Energy Lock Seed that appeared in Movie War Full Throttle.

What do you think of these new forms? Looking forward to the V Cinema? Discuss in the thread after the jump.

“YOMOTSUHEGURI ARMS, MEI KAI YOMI YOMI YOMI!” The latest Premium Bandai release happens to be one of the most sinister items from Kamen Rider Gaim, one that could pretty much kill its user from overuse. That’s right, this is the video for the Yomotsuheguri Lock Seed! With the cosmetic appearance of a gold and red Budou Lock Seed, this new release contains completely different sounds.

Making its first appearance in Episode 42 of the series, this mysterious gold and red Lock Seed was promised to give its user enough power to crush Kamen Rider Gaim. Even though they were told that the risk of using it for too long could lead to it draining their life force, the user still decided to use it, enabling them to take on the form of Ryugen-Yomi Yomotsuheguri Arms. With the in-show ability to summon the weapons of the Overlords, it served to be a counterpart to Gaim’s own Kiwami Arms.

The Lock Seed itself features the standard Squash, Au Lait and Sparking finisher sounds, but also features the phrases spoken by its user! This Lock Seed also comes with the Ryugen-Yomi Rider Indicator faceplate that you can attach to your Sengoku Driver! The set itself was released just recently as a Premium Bandai item, for the price of 2160 yen.

In a recent update the Tamashii Web Shop has revealed 2 more upcoming Tamashii Web Exclusive items! Though we don’t have pricing or specific release dates yet the shop has sent word along about S.H. Figuarts G-Stag & Reddie being released as a 2-pack! First revealed at Tamashii Nations 2014 this pair completes the trio of the original B-Fighters from Juuko B-Fighter! Or the original Big Bad Beetleborgs for many western collectors.

Next up is the reveal of S.H. Figuarts Riderman Machine! The personal bike of Riderman, sometimes known more simply as the “Rider Machine” was initially revealed at Tamashii Nations 2014 along with a slew of other as of yet unreleased Rider bikes.

It’s only appropriate that after a day of new reveals and in hand images for upcoming Kikaider releases, that TokuNation brings you a gallery of the latest release in the line, S.H. Figuarts Side Machine! 

Side Machine is the personal ride of the original Kikaider himself. An outstanding bike with a side car, Side Machine was way ahead of it’s time for rocking vehicle designs in tokusatsu during the 70’s. Seeing as it’s based on the real world Kawasaki GT 500 Mach III bike, Side Machine happens to include a set of officially licensed Kawasaki decals to accessorize it! This is just an added bonus for a vehicle that sets itself apart by leaps and bounds from most S.H. Figuarts vehicles. Seriously this is one of the nicest bikes in the entire line, gorgeous details, crisp paint, and did I mention those decals?! But don’t just take my word for it, check out 30 images of this awesome ride after the jump.

Also be sure to leave a comment in this thread as well. Posting in the S.H. Figuarts Side Machine Gallery thread will automatically enter you for a chance to win one of our Toku Toy Box Giveaway Prize Packs! Specifically you’ll be entered in for our Monolithic Monsters Prize Pack with this one. For full details on entry & Prize Pack breakdowns for Toku Toy Box follow this link. And Best of luck to all! We’ll have another gallery up for entries later this week!

Revealed only earlier today, Bandai has just updated us with official images, release details, and pre-orders for S.H. Figuarts Gil Hakaider!

As we mentioned earlier today, Gil Hakaider is the form that Professor Gil (the leader of the DARK & SHADOW organizations) assumed in Kikaider 01. His brain was implanted by a group of scientists into the lifeless Hakaider’s body. This version of the figure differentiates itself from the initial Hakaider with some slight paint app differences, and the addition of his cloak & Gil Whistle staff! The Hakaider Shot from the previous release is also still included along with the replacement shin/holster for it.

S.H. Figuarts Gil Hakaider will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in May 2015 for 5184 yen.
