Bandai Premium has opened a new page for one last DX LockSeed & Sengoku faceplate set, featuring YomotsuHeguri Lock– the strange new power granted to Kamen Rider Ryugen.
In addition, a video demo of this new LockSeed has also come online:
The DX YomotsuHeguri Set will be released in December 2014 and costs a mere 2160 Yen before shipping and fees.
As Bandai of Japan & Banpresto hold their annual summer toy festival we’re seeing a lot of what we’ve seen before in terms of our favorite Japanese heroes. However a few new items have snuck out and onto display that we haven’t quite seen yet. In some cases we’ve got better shots of a few things we’ve only glimpsed til now.
On display at the moment are the various minipla from Ressha Sentai ToQger including the upcoming Safari Ga Oh as well as several other combinations like Cho Cho ToQ Dai Oh. But of special note is the upcoming Rainbow Clear SP set of ToQ Oh & Diesel Oh! This set was initially revealed via an imageless Amiami pre-order but now we can see them in their wonderful translucent glory.
While we’re on ToQger some new vinyls have also been unveiled which will definitely please fans of the series. Joining the likes of General Schwartz & the Kuros is Baron Nero of the Shadow Line! On top of that we have some ToQ Changed versions of ToQ 1 in Pink & Yellow!
Topping things off for Kamen Rider Gaim is the previously revealed DX Yomi Lock Seed & Arms Change Ryugen Yomotsu Heguri Arms which are also on display here. Finally have some better close up shots of the pair. And the placard next to Ryugen apparently confirms that he will indeed come with the Overlord’s weapons! And not to be left out Banpresto has some more Dual Solid Hero Kamen Rider figures on display as well!
A DX Lock Seed set and new Arms change figure had been announced as Premium Bandai exclusives just a few days ago, from the same toy event that the announcement was revealed, a new photo of the actual prototypes were released online via TagHobby.
Thanks to this image we hav our first physical look at the DX Yomi Lock Seed & Arms Change PB06 Ryugen Yomotsu Heguri Arms! While there’s no official confirmation yet, the flyer attached t Ryugen indicates that ACPB06 will also include the Overlord’s weapons in addition to the Kiwi Gekirin AND Budou Ryuhou!
The DX Yomi Lock Seed set will be going up for pre order later in August while Arms Change Yomotsu Heguri Arms will be open to order in September, retailing for 2000 yen and 4000 yen respectively.
LOCK ON!
With the release of Gaim’s summer movie just days away, it’s only natural that we take a look at the DX Gold and Silver Ringo/Apple Lock Seeds of Armored Riders Kamuro & Mars! Courtesy of a Japanese youtube reviewer. The spoken name of these locks is simply “Gold” & “Silver”. While naturally most other locks shout their fruit name in English or Japanese, these locks interestingly don’t use apple or it’s Japanese counterpart ringo.
Gaim’s summer movie will be launching on July 19th in Japanese theaters.
LIQUID
Premium Bandai has finally put up a fresh batch of images for the nutty DX Matsubokuri/Pinecone Energy Lock Seed.
Coming from Gaim’s Summer movie, team Baron’s Peco uses the Lock Seed to transform into the Energy Rider Shin Kurokage!
The DX Matsubokuri/Pinecone Energy Lock Seed will be coming out September 1st, 2014 and will retail for 2,160 yen just in time for a fall harvest.
Continuing it’s trend of bringing actors back in to play their characters and sell merchandise Bandai of Japan has returned with the 2 key members of Team Baron! Zach AKA Kamen Rider Knuckle & Peco the soon to be Kamen Rider Shin Kurokage from the Gaim Summer Film!
Today Zack and Peco have dropped in to advertise upcoming DX Lock Seed premium sets. Zack is of course advertising his DX Kurumi (walnut) Lock along with the blank/Knuckle Rider indicator faceplate. As well as briefly mentioning the ACPB04 Arms Change Knuckle figure.
Meanwhile in a surprise reveal Peco has stopped in to advertise/announce the DX Matsubokuri (pinecone) Energy Lock Seed! Currently this lock is exclusive to Gaim’s upcoming Summer Film. It allows Peco to transform into the energy rider Shin Kurokage! This certainly raises hopes for anyone who thought BOJ might forget a rider or two from this franchise.
The mere existence of this lock means we could still see an Arms Change or SH Figuart of even this most obscure rider!
