Bandai’s Candy Toy Blog has just fully revealed two new upcoming waves of Shodo-X! Consisting of releases from Kamen Rider Agito as well as Kamen Rider Black & Black RX, we get a huge variety for forms and a few Rider Machines:

Kamen Rider Agito
– Agito Ground Form
– Agito Trinity Form
– Agito ShiningForm
– Machine Tornador (A parts)
– Machine Tornador (B Parts)
– Extension set (Weapons & parts to make Flame/Storm forms)

So you get nearly every Agito form aside from Burning as well as his Rider Machine in this wave! Of note however is that you will need duplicates of Ground & Trinity Form in order to have stand-alone Flame & Storm Forms at the same time. So expect to see cases broken down to sell extras when this wave releases.

Black & RX
– Black
– Black RX
– Battle Hopper
– Acrobatter
– Shadow Moon

Comparisons are shown between these new Shodo-X releases and the original Shodo VS releases for Black & company, illustrating the improvements of the X line. So if you picked up the older VS releases, it looks like a fairly significant upgrade this go around.

Gundam: 

Unicorn

00 Raiser

Kamen Rider: 

Black
Fourze
Wizard

Ultraman:
Leo
Tiga
Ginga

Kamen RIder Black RX and the 00 Quanta are also in the game, interestingly enough those two will be treated as form changes according to the trailer. Lost Heroes 2 will be released on the Nintendo 3DS console in February 15th 2015, a premium version is also available for purchase.

The upcoming Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3 will of course feature the first ever on screen appearance of the one-off Kamen Rider 3. A unique rider who only appeared once in a short 1972 story. However this film will also mark the first appearance of his vehicle, the TriCyclone!

The TriCyclone certainly appears to be an impressive machine worthy of going up against Kamen Rider Drive’s Tridoron and Black RXs Rideron, both of which will be in this film as well! Will Kamen Rider 3 ally himself with his car driving brothers or will he stand in line with the bike riders of old?

Discuss this reveal as well as the rest of our coverage of Super Hero Tasien GP in our ongoing discussion thread!
