What was once a mere April Fools joke has now become reality!
A new streaming project featuring Kamen Rider Genm has been confirmed for the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club featuring the return of CEO Kamen Rider Genm for a new adventure.
This two-part spinoff will be released on April 11 & April 18 2021!
DANGEROUS!
Everyone’s favourite zombie God is back for another yet another iteration, Bandai’s official S.H.Figuarts blog was recently updated with a plethora of new photos showcasing the S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Genm Level X-0 figure, first seen at a Tamashii Nations event way back in 2018.
Further release details on this bad boy are pending, and at this moment in time we aren’t sure if the Continue pipe will be included or not. None of the less, be sure to tune back with us once pre-orders become available and we’ll provide you with more info as it becomes available.
Premium Bandai Japan has revealed the next major release for the SH Figuarts toyline- and it’s something Kamen Rider fans have been looking forward to for quite a while!
At long last, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid gets his final form release- Hyper Muteki Gamer! This golden invincible fighter comes with a set of interchangeable hands and its signature weapon- the Gashacon KeySlasher.
SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer is currently scheduled for release in May 2020! The price is a modest 8580 Yen before shipping & handling.
Model enthusiasts rejoice! Bandai is out in full force at the All Japan Model & Hobby Show 2019 with a plethora of new Figure-Rise Standard kits for us.
To start things off, Kamen Riders Gemm Action Gamer Level 2, Kuuga Mighty Form, and Kamen Rider Joker were shown off in full at the event along with a confirmation that the next Rider to join the ranks will be Kamen Rider Den-O Sword Form.
In addition, the finished sample for the Ultraman Tiga Suit from the Manga/Netflix Ultraman series was shown off in full with concept sketches for Evil Tiga in the background.
Among the aforementioned kits, we only have release information on Gemm and Joker: both model kits will be P-Bandai exclusives with the former retailing 3000 yen. We’ll be sure to update you once more information regarding these products become available.
“The highest level, the most powerful body!”
To combat the immortal Kamen Rider GenM, Emu Hojo will have to max out his level! Using a gift from beyond the grave left by Kiriya Kujo, the ultimate Gashat is born. Maximum level, maximum strength, and the ability to reprogram the Bugster virus, all rolled into one. The man who’s the source of the Bugster virus itself, is destined to save humanity from it as Ex-Aid reaches his highest level, 99!
Oddly enough, Ex-Aid Level 99 is actually a repaint of GenM Level Billion. Even though the history of these two forms existing in the series & films is actually the reverse. Whatever the case for how this release came second is, it’s an undeniably good one. This mold looked incredible stylish in the evil GenM colors, but seeing it done up in Ex-Aid’s rather unique palette, is incredibly pleasing as well. Armed with the Gashacon Key Slasher and far more articulation than you realize, Ex-Aid Level 99 will be an imposing shelf presence and a fantastic foil to Level Billion.

“I will make Emu smile again.”
Based on the memory of Kuroto Dan’s mother, the bugster Poppy was an indispensable and trustworthy ally to the Kamen Rider doctors of CR. But with her memories erased & programming rebooted, Poppy became an unwilling part of Kamen Rider Chronicle. Forced to fight Ride Players by Parad & Graphite, Poppy became a Kamen Rider! But with the help of Emu and the others, Poppy’s old memories broke through. Rejecting Chronicle, wishing only to play with her friends and help others, Poppy awakens to her true heroic spirit as Kamen Rider Poppy!
Kamen Rider Poppy was released way back in March, and we finally had the time to get down to a full review of her this week. Poppy made waves with her rider debut in show, so it’s appropriate that this ball of positive energy is a pretty great figure as well. Packed with personality and armed with the Bugvisor Zwei, Poppy can literally be your devil or your angel. Especially with the Zwei in Chainsaw Mode! While we wish an alternate head was included, it’s undeniable how stylish this figure looks, particularly as part of a wider Ex-Aid collection. Ex-Aid Level 2 & GenM Level 0 in particular will compliment her very well.

“Armor Time! Level Up! GenM!
In a future that should never have been, Kuroto Dan has truly become a king. Chosen by the Time Jackers to rule in his own way, Kuroto Dan has become Another OOO! Luckily for our heroes Geiz has acquired the GenM Ridewatch, and travelling to 2016 will fight the Bugster God before his corrupted future can take place. Buying time until Sougo can obtain the power of OOO, Geiz will fight this counterfeit king and his Yummies as Kamen Rider Geiz GenM Armor!

Geiz GenM Armor is another solid entry for the Zi-O family of S.H. Figuarts. While ostensibly a remold of the base Geiz figure, it’s actually just an extensive repaint of Zi-O Build Armor with a handful of new parts. In a striking black and purple colors scheme, with a Rider Gauge of it’s own, Proto Mighty Action X Gashat shoulders, and that signature Ex-Aid style hair, this armor evokes the menace of Kuroto Dan wonderfully. Though it may not come with any real accessories, if you own any other GenM figures, I’d say this figure can find a perfect home in your collection.

Seen most recently at the Tamashii Nations Tokyo event in April, Bandai has just confirmed release details for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gamedeus Cronus!
Taking a roundabout way to getting released, Gamedeus Cronus has been seen in one form or another at several Tamashii events. At one point only the Deus Rusher & Deus Rampart sword & shield were seen, being held by a standard Cronus Figuart. Thankfully today’s new images not only confirm it’s status as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, but also it’s October 2019 release window and 7150 yen price.
Since this is an exclusive, be sure to watch your preferred sites or middleman services for pre-orders.
LEVEL UP!
Joining alongside S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O II that we posted earlier, our second reveal is for fans of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, and it’s none other than S.H.Figuarts Gemedus Chronus!
At the moment, both Gemedeus Chronus and Zi-O II are display only items so we have no indication on when/if they’ll come out and how much they’ll cost.
Do check back with us though, and we’ll provide updates as soon as they’re made available for pre-order.
