Teased in silhouette form way back in July, we finally have an initial image of Kamen Rider Specter! The secondary rider for this years upcoming Kamen Rider Ghost.

Specter’s costume is incredibly similar to Ghost’s own basic form, Ore Damashii. Specter Damashii swaps out the orange for blue, features a new chest emblem, and also has a rather cool looking crest on his helmet to set him apart. It definitely sells the idea of these 2 sharing common powers and tech better than most 2 rider systems. This image also gives us a look at prototypes of the Gangan Hand & Driver.

We’ll keep you up to date as more information and images become available regarding Kamen Riders Ghost & Specter!

In just 1 week this years pairing of summer films, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger The Movie: The Dinosaur Lord’s Splendid Ninja Scroll & Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future, will be released in Japanese theaters. As such the related toys for each film are set to be released soon, and new official images have given us the best look yet at them.

For Ninninger we have DX Otomonin EX Dinomaru. This remold of Paonmaru is of course the movie exclusive mecha for this year in the same vein as Safari Ga Oh, Tobaspino, FS0O Frog, and a host of other toys. This figure will be released on August 8th to coincide with the film and retails for 4104 yen.

For Kamen Rider Drive we have a bit of a surprise! Not only will this years movie henshin device set include those used by Drive in the film, the DX Shift Next/Special Car & Tridoron Key, but a third item is also in the mix. And it’s the DX Newton Eyecon from Kamen Rider Ghost! This set will be released a bit later this month, August 29th, for 2160  yen.

Today  brings yet another early look at the upcoming 17th heisei kamen rider, Kamen Rider Ghost! 

– First up we have a brand new image giving us our first full bodied look at Ghost in 3 of his forms; Musashi Soul, Edison Soul, & Ore Soul.

– Next we have our first look at the various new weapons created from the combination of Ghost’s Ghost Gadgets with his Gangan Saber! Follow this link to see our breakdown of how those combinations work for each of Ghost’s Souls.

– Lastly we have our first clear look at how this years gimmick action figure line, Ghost Change, will work! In a similar fashion to the old COR line from Kabuto or the AC line from Gaim, the Soul “jackets” are accessories that snap on over the basic rider bodies. The jacket has a rotating face plat that when not connected to a rider gives the effect of a ghostly aura where the face should be. It would also apepar that the “sleeves” are jointed somewhat so as not to hinder the figures articulation. We know based on the Ghost Series release information that Ghost & Specter bodies will only be included with GC01 & GC03.

We’ll continue tot keep you up to date with all the Kamen Rider Ghost news we can as it becomes available!

More news for the 17th Heisei Kamen Rider series is rolling in and now we have concrete pictures and info! The following images give us our first clear look at Kamen Rider Ghost’s series logo. One which looks to incorporate further the overall Eye gimmick of the Ghost Eyecons.

Additionally we have some first looks at Ghost’s toyline. Up first is a silhouetted image of the secondary rider for the series, Kamen Rider Specter! This image also confirms the name of this series gimmick line (ala Arms Change or Tire Koukan). Ghost’s line is known as Ghost Change! Specter is labelled as GC03 which is telling. Kamen Rider Ghost Ore Soul and at least one of his alternate forms will be released first with Specter up after that!

Which speaking of we also get a look at GC01 Ghost Orel Soul while riding his VERY unorthodox Rider Machine. That’s right, a multi-piece combining machine, this year we have the Iguana Ghostriker! The combination of a black and very skeletal horse-like bike and a literal ghost ship! When the 2 combine together it’s clear where this machine get’s it’s name, as combined they form a giant robot Iguana! These images also offer a clear look at the very first DX Ghost Icon! The DX Ore Eyecon is Ghost’s default Eyecon that allows him to access his standard Ore Soul form.

Let’s go-go-go-Ghost!

And here we are folks, the first look at 17th Heisei rider, Kamen Rider Ghost! After months of speculation and false information we have our very first look at the character thanks to a toy catalog scan!

Kamen Rider Ghost uses the Ghost Driver to transform. When inserting a Ghost Eyecon into the driver the spirit of a ghost is absorbed and projected onto the users body in the form of a hood/jacket. This construct with a face mask covers the suit from behind to create the primary look of the rider. An orange and black with a horn, a hero fit to premiere around October. Though if translations are correct not only will Ghost appear first in Kamen Drive: Surprise Future, but his show will premiere in late september!

These images also give us our first look at the Ghost Driver and Eyecons themselves. The Ghost Driver features a lever on the right side that needs to be pulled back to accept an Eyecon then pushed back into to activate the gimmick. And the Gangan Saber is Ghost’s primary weapon.

So what do you think of the reveal of the 17th Heisei Kamen Rider? Let us know what you think of Kamen Rider Ghost in the comments!
