Hot on the heels of the recent Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden project announcement comes a brand new Beat Rider for the SH Figuarts series!
This is Kamen Rider Gridon: Lychee Arms– obtained by using the new Lychee Lock Seed in the upcoming adventure Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden: Bravo VS Gridon!
Gridon Lychee Arms is a Premium Bandai offering currently scheduled for release in May 2021. The price is a modest 6380 Yen before shipping and handling.
Fans of Kamen Rider Gaim are in for a special treat!
A new Gaiden project has been revealed, featuring the return of the fan-favorite duo Kamen Rider Gridon & Kamen Rider Bravo! Actors Ryo Matsuda and Yoshida Metal return to reprise their roles- with fellow Gaim alumni Yuki Kubota also returning to the role of Kamen Rider Zagetsu once more.
A mysterious new Rider known as Kamen Rider Sylphy will appear before the Charmant Pastry team. As their new adventure continues, Gridon and Bravo will each receive new forms-
*Kamen Rider Gridon Lychee Arms
*Kamen Rider Bravo King Durian Arms
A trailer for this new adventure has also been released:
This movie- and the new LockSeeds introduced- will be part of the Kamen Rider Gaim Complete Selection Modification release under the LockSeed Charmant set- containing the characters’ original Lock Seeds, the necessary Sengoku Driver face plates and the infamous NINCOMPOOP decoy LockSeed. This CSM set is priced at 12650 Yen and is currently scheduled for release in March 2021.
Bandai Japan has put up a preview page for the next entry in the Complete Selection Modification line!
This time, Kamen Rider Gaim takes the stage! The Sengoku Driver will be released in the CSM line, but exact price details and any included LockSeeds are unconfirmed at time of writing.
The Complete Selection Modification Sengoku Driver will be officially revealed on October 25 2020!
“This ends today!”
It’s been 8 years since the events with the Inves, since Kouta Kazuraba left Earth. Now, Takatora Kureshima finds himself in the war torn Torkia Republic, the old testing ground for the Yggdrasill Corporation’s Project Ark. The populace lives largely underground amidst secret deadly battles that gangs of young men are forced to engage in, using the powers of Kamen Riders! As these proto-riders battle, and Takatora struggles to regain his memories, scheming characters from his past have their own goals. Has Takatora truly changed? Can he escape his past? Will the true Kamen Rider Zangetsu take the stage once more?
Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms is a brilliant release from Tamashii Nations. Taking the now 6 year old Gaim Kachidoki Arms mold and giving it a fresh color pallet and some new parts, Tamashii has managed to create a fitting final form for the elder Kureshima brother. Armed with the Kachidoki Flags & DJ Gun Taiken Mode, this figure will be a commanding presence in any collection. And if you happen to have the other Zangetsu releases on hand, you’ll see just how perfectly this form fits in with the family.

And-
*The DX DecaDriver from Kamen Rider Decade! This release will include a selection of Decades’ Rider Cards but an exact count has not been confirmed yet. The DecaDriver will be released in April 2020!

If you might recall, Bandai teased us with the awesome new S.H.Figuarts for Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms earlier on in the month, The form hails from the Kamen Rider Zangetsu Stage play that was playing in Japan.
Last time we looked at this beautiful melon, we didn’t know if Bandai had plans to release it out to the public or not but it seems like public reaction’s been positive enough that Bandai will be putting some quantity of them into production.
New photos have emerged thanks once again to some data mining from Tokullector. At this time we know that it will be released in December and likely will be a Tamashii Web Shop limited item. Stay tuned, and we’ll be sure to provide you with an update as it’s made available.
DON’T SAY NO! JUST LIVE MORE!
The Kamen Rider Zangetsu Stage Play opened up in Japan last week on March 9th, and if you aren’t able to fly to Japan between then and March 31st 2019 to go see it then we have some very good news for you; as you may have already guessed from the title, the Zangetsu Stage Play will, in fact, be getting a home theater release in the near future.
Both the Blu-Ray release and DVD are currently up for pre-order on Amazon Japan as of the time of this writing. The DVD will retail for 6,261 yen while the Blu-Ray will retail for 8,669 yen and will also include the DX Kamen Rider Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms Ride Watch.
Either way, both will see release on October 10th 2019.
