Fans of the Kamen Rider brand have been waiting a long time for the ability to purchase current-year merchandise locally in the United States and North America.  It was announced not long ago that – finally – it was happening.  Kamen Rider Geats, the upcoming Kamen Rider series in Japan, will have their DX items release in both Japan as well as the US.  That means spending less money on these items because you’re not having to pay to import them.

You can order them online from both of our site sponsors – BigBadToyStore and Tokullectibles!  And we’ve compiled the current list for you right here!

Fans can also reach out to their local comic book stores and hobby shops that carried Bluefin Brands or Bandai Collectibles merchandise in the past to place an order for these items.  Additionally, there may be product carried in the future on major retailer sites like Amazon.com.  Stay tuned for future announcements.

Site sponsor Tokullectibles also has available items that are NOT being brought over to the US/North America, which you can order here.

The CSM Sengoku Driver, officially announced just a few weeks ago, already has the details of the next Lockseed set available.  Coming soon in 2021 is the CSM Lockseed Team Baron set.  The set includes the following Lockseeds:

  • Banana
  • Mango
  • Marron
  • Marron Energy
  • Matsubokkuri Energy

It also comes with the following faceplates:

  • Baron
  • Black/Proto Baron
  • Blank (which is what Knuckle used)

No release details or price have been set as of yet and, interesting as well, is the lack of the CSM Genesis Driver.  We know it is coming – Bandai has quietly announced it in blog posts – we just haven’t seen it yet.

Stay tuned Kamen Rider Gaim fans.  Things are just starting to get expensive.

The press conference for Kamen Rider Saber happened last night (for us in the US and Canada at least) and fans are ready!  After seeing the first trailer as well as the cast we then got the first details of the merchandise.

Check out this year’s belt – the DX Seiken SworDriver!

You will insert a Wonder Ride Book – the Kamen Rider Saber accessory for the belt – then pull out the sword to activate transformation and cause the book to open.  Check out the commercial below for a demonstration!

The DX Seiken SworDriver will release 09/05/20 in Japan for 7678 yen.  No decision has been made yet for a US release – stay tuned.

On Friday, January 3rd we had the opportunity to do something really special. We held a live-streamed interview with #TeamRider of Bluefin Brands asking both questions we wrote up as well as questions we asked you for via our @TokuNation Twitter account (now 10,000 strong and growing – THANK YOU!). During the interview they were able to see your comments and respond to them real-time. We had a blast and we can’t wait to do it again soon.

Below is a recap of some of the questions/answers as well as the stream itself so you can listen if you missed it. Enjoy!

Are previous CSM Kamen Rider belts available to be released in the United States and Canada?

Bluefin Brands is limited to only what is currently in production or available at retail in Japan. If there is an item that you want to see brought back – be vocal on social media and at conventions. However, there is a good chance that any future CSM items that release will be brought over to the United States and Canada.

Why are there no releases currently planned for UK and Europe?

Bluefin Brands does not hold the rights to distribute items in the UK or Europe. They encourage fans in the UK and Europe to reach out to their local distributors to try and get the same items released there. (NOTE: We have reached out to the Bandai UK branch in hopes of getting more information and if/when we receive a response we will share it with you).

Why is xxxx S.H. Figuart not releasing in the United States?

Tamashii Nations and Bluefin Brands are two separate entities. Tamashii Nations produces a certain number of figures and allocates them accordingly. For the record – #TeamRider asks for quantities of EVERY. SINGLE. FIGURE. that is produced. Sometimes they get a yes, sometimes they get a no. Originally, they were told they were not getting S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One – and now he’s available for pre-order. They’re working on it.

Are you going to release the accessory items for the DX Belts?

At this time they are not in the plans – but they want to for sure. It goes hand in hand with the earlier comment about items in production. If Lock Seeds aren’t currently being produced they can’t necessarily get a run of Lock Seeds brought over to go with the DX Sengoku Driver. This is something they are looking at and working on but the short term answer is nothing right now. Stay tuned.

-The Garren Buckle and Rouzer used by none other than Kamen Rider Garren.

-The Psyga Driver and Orga Driver used by Kamen Riders Psyga and Orga respectively.

Do note that these are currently display only items so there’s a good chance that these were only made for the show and won’t see an actual release to the public. But be sure to check back with us, and we’ll notify you once any of these belts enter the production/pre-order phase.

In case you missed it; the trailer for Toei’s upcoming movie Kamen Rider Reiwa: The First Generation dropped just a week prior. Fans were delighted at the reveal of Kamen Rider Ichigata, a walking homage to the granddaddy himself: Kamen Rider Ichigou.
