Thanks to Ranger Chamber on Facebook we have our first look at the unannounced Zord Ascension Project (ZAP) Astro Megazord from Power Rangers In Space.
There’s not a lot of details with this item but plenty of pictures. Of note, this release is taller than the ZAP Mighty Morphin Dino Megazord figure.
More details may be released next weekend at PulseCon (or at least, maybe now because it’s in the open). Stay tuned for more updates.

Tonight was the annual Toei press conference introducing the world to the newest Kamen Rider series- Kamen Rider Geats!
This new series is built around the DESIRE GRAND PRIX where Riders fight for the chance to remake the world.
The first four contestants in the Desire Grand Prix are:
*Kamen Rider Geats– real name “Ace” Ukiyo Hidetoshi (portrayed by Kan Hideyoshi) is a mysterious but determined young man whose reasons for joining the Grand Prix will be revealed as the series progresses.

*Kamen Rider Buffa– real name Azuma Michinage (played by Toyo Kazuto) is a fighter who sees Geats as his greatest rival.
At least 3 more Riders were seen in the conference trailer but their identities have not been confirmed at time of writing.
The Riders will have some guides through their adventures-
*Tsumuri (played by Qingdao Heart) is the navigator for the Desire Grand Prix; her responsibility is to meet new Riders and introduce the rules of combat.
*Giroli– (played by Shugo Oshinari) is the concierge of the Temple of Desire, who oversees the participants of the Grand Prix.

Something years in the making has finally happened and it’s time to celebrate.
For the first time ever, current-year Kamen Rider merchandise will be made available for retailers to order in the United States. That means this year’s show – Kamen Rider Geats – will have its DX (deluxe) merchandise available for US specialty retailers (like comic book stores and stores like BigBadToyStore and Tokullectibles) to order.
This is breaking news and we will work to get you more information as soon as possible.
Bandai Japan has released some information, images, and details on the upcoming Kamen Rider Geats DX Desire Driver and the Raise Buckles accessories! More information will drop on Monday, August 1st in Japan (or Sunday, July 31st on this side of the Pacific). Pre-orders of this first release look to receive a Kamen Rider Revice themed Raise Buckle (hammer).
Check out the first images of the DX Desire Driver with Zombie Raise Buckle. With the way the DX Desire Driver works, you can create 10 different combinations on the actual driver straight out of the box (see pictures for examples). There is also a pre-order that includes a Kamen Rider Revice vistamp – so completionists beware!
Stay tuned for sponsor pre-order links!
A new round of scans has given us our first proper look at the fourth Kamen Rider of the Reiwa Era– Kamen Rider Geats!
These new scans offer some interesting insights into the upcoming series:
*Geats’ henshin device is known as the Desire Driver. This Driver will have two changeable elements- ID Cores & Raise Buckles.
*The ID Core will be the basic item for any Kamen Rider using the Desire Driver. Using the Geats ID Core transforms the wearer into Kamen Rider Geats Entry Form– which features only the white kitsune mask with a basic black undersuit.
*Adding a Raise Buckle to the Desire Driver unlocks new armored forms. Kamen Rider Geats’ first Raise Buckle is the Magnum Buckle (resembling a revolver) which activates Kamen Rider Geats Magnum Form– adding white armor to his arms & torso. The second confirmed Raise Buckle for Geats is the Boost Buckle (based on a motorcycle handlebar) that triggers Kamen Rider Geats Boost Form– which attaches red armor to the legs. Using both Buckles at once creates Magnum Boost Form– which is the configuration seen in the initial images of Kamen Rider Geats.
While not fully demonstrated in the available scans, the Raise Buckles are not bound to a single side of the Desire Driver and can be swapped- meaning the Magnum Form can become legs while the Boost Form could also be used on the torso.
Lastly, we have some shots of Kamen Rider Geats Magnum Boost Forms’ signature weapon- the Magnum Shooter 40X! This gun has a standard pistol configuration but extends to a rifle mode for long range attacks.
Kamen Rider Geats premieres on September 4 2022!
