Last week, news emerged that a reissue of sorts was planned for S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga. Details had been sparse save from the Decade Version designation it was given. Thankfully a full set of official images has just been released via Tamashii Nations.

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga (Decade Ver.) will be a part for part reissue of the original Seihou Kuuga Mighty Form with some paint differences. The shade of red used on the Decade Kuuga suit is a bit brighter while the gold accents are a bit deeper as well. This reflects the way the original Kuuga suit changed between filming for the Kuuga TV series and the Decade one. Having been repainted previously, in an attempt to color match the suit to it’s original scheme, Toei did miss the mark a little. This resulted in a subtly unique version of Kuuga for Decade, and this figure represents that.

Many collectors who missed out on the original Seihou Kuuga release will undoubtedly be happy to see this unique reissue, allowing them to finally pick the figure up for a reasonable price. Kuuga Decade Version will be out as a retail release in October for 6050 yen, which is still 650 yen more than the original release. No new accessories are included with this release.

As the Kamen Rider line of S.H. Figuarts continues, inevitably older releases go up in value. This has been especially true for the incredibly popular line of Shinkocchou Seihou renewal type figuarts. To date, of the myriad Seihou releases, only Kamen Rider Kabuto has ever received a reissue and that was two years after it’s initial release. Today that may change.

In confirming new items releasing in October, Tamashii Nations has announced S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga (Decade Ver.). Kamen Rider Kuuga, or a version of him at least, played a significant role as a support character throughout the Kamen Rider Decade TV series and it’s movies. Mighty Form Kuuga was the most often seen form in Decade as well, though it should be noted that all of Decade Kuuga’s forms are identical to the original save for an additional form. So the exact nature of this “Decade Version” is unknown currently.

Does being specifically branded as the “Decade Version” allow Tamashii to circumvent some of their own self imposed rules for reissues like the Premium Color line of Dragonball figuarts? Or does this imply that the figure has some new accessories exclusive to the Kuuga version of the character? One thing to note, is the official image used to announce the figure. It’s completely new, as in, it’s not from the set of photos released for the original Seihou Kuuga orders. It would be quite odd of Tamashii to do a brand new photo shoot for a figure that has pre-existing official photos, unless there are new accessories in play. We’ll continue to report any more new information made available for this release.

ADVENT!

Along with the Kamen Rider Shinobi special, Toei announced a second special: Rider Time Ryuki which would see the return of the Rider Battle Royale along with a few familiar faces in addition to a very surprising one: Kamen Rider Abyss himself will be added to the main timeline. Just like with Shinobi, a series of photos were recently posted online

For those that might be unfamiliar with Kamen Rider Abyss; Abyss wasn’t part of the main series, but rather he was present in an alternate reality Tsukasa traveled too during Kamen Rider Decade’s run.

It is currently unknown what role he’ll play in the special itself, in the meantime be sure to check out the trailer by clicking the link here.

“Kamen Ride.”

Exactly 1 month ago, Bandai’s Figuarts Blog teased the return of a popular figure to the line. Seeing yet another surge in his already immense popularity thanks to a crossover in Kamen Rider Zi-O, Masahiro Inoue’s Kadoya Tsukasa/Kamen Rider Decade is coming back to destroy collector’s wallets once again with an updated Figuarts release!

The fantastic S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade is returning in a new Neo Decadriver Version, featuring the updated accessory used by Tsukasa as of his Zi-O appearances. It’s quite likely that since this version of the figure does indeed feature the Neo Decadriver that it will also come with the back half of the Heisei Rider cards of W through Build. Other accessories, as well as specific yen pricing are not known at this time. This figure will be released in  August 2019. 

As is often the case with new reveals like this, we only have a selection of the proper official images as provided by @Tokullector. When the full listing goes up on the Tamashii Nations site we’ll update this story.

The most recent post on Bandai’s S.H. Figuarts blog cycles through the official images of the upcoming Ride Striker release for Kamen Rider Zi-O. The post details the accessories it comes with as well as it’s compatibility with both Zi-O and Geiz. However, at the end of the post is an odd teaser.

“次回、ジオウ＆ゲイツに強大な敵が立ちふさがる….!?”
“Next time, a mighty enemey will stop Zi-O & Geiz….!?”

The image attached is of the yet to be released Zi-O and Geiz Figuarts posed as though they’ve just lost a fight, while Decade stands tall in the background, back facing them. This image is very likely teasing something a lot of people have been hoping for since news of Decade’s return in Zi-O was made known. Given his turned back, this could very well indicate a potential reissue of the Shinkocchou Seihou Decade S.H. Figuart, though with the new magenta Neo Decadriver instead.

While there’s nothing more concrete to go on than that, the popular consensus is that we could be seeing the Destroyer of Worlds return to destroy our wallets once more. Time will tell if this is anything more than just a tease, and if it is, we’ll be sure to let you know!

Today, Toei began streaming a new video promoting the upcoming Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever film (which comes out in two days!). But rather than just a new teaser or trailer for the film, this video previews the films theme song, which is itself a compilation and re-mix of the Opening Themes for all 20 Heisei Riders!

Titled “Heisei Generations Forever Medley D.A. Re-Build Mix” this song arranges clips from each of the 20 Heisei Rider OP’s into one giant song, set to a variety of archival footage as well as new scenes from the soon to be released film itself.  This new theme was arranged by Daisuke Asakura.

Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever hits Japanese theaters on December 22nd! Best to dodge spoilers on social media for a bit, but if you’d like to join in on our ongoing discussion of the film, feel free to pop into our discussion thread linked below.

The 20 Rider Kicks banner is been Bandai’s way of celebrating all things Kamen Rider, and where would a Kamen Rider be without a trusty transformation belt?

Revealed in toy catalog scans via J-Hero.com are the 20 Rider Kicks DX Kamen Rider Belt reissues each one slated for release in October. In the first batch of these reissues we have the DX Deca Driver, and W Driver, both appear to be rebrands of the Super Best versions.

In addition to the Lost Driver which will include non-T2 versions of the Skull and Eternal Gaia Memories along with Kamen Rider Gemm’s Buggle Driver and Dangerous Zombie Gashat.

The W and Deca Drivers will both retail for 7500 yen while the Buggle and Lost Drivers will cost 6500 yen a piece, an excellent alternative to those that may have missed out on these Belts the first time around or for new Kamen Rider fans looking to get their first one!

With Kamen Rider Zi-O heralding the end of the Heisei Era for Kamen Rider, and in commemoration of the 20th Heisei Rider himself, Tamashii Nations has announced the S.H. Figuarts Heisei Riders Rising Project!

The Rising Project announcement promises the reveal of 3 new Heisei Rider figuarts in the near future. The first of these 3 riders will be revealed on August 24th. Currently speculation is running wild as to what these 3 figures will actually be. Will this be Kiva’s time? There’s Zi-O which begins airing next month  as well, so now would be an ideal time to reveal his first figuart. Then there’s the possibility that 1 or more of these figures could be a Shinkocchou Seihou renewal of an out of date release like OOO, Fourze, or even Faiz.

Exactly who these 3 Heisei Riders are, is something we’ll be watching closely in the coming weeks. So we’ll be sure to keep the community up to date!
