I was gonna order myself Books 2 and 3 along with a few model kits from Amiami but Book3 sold out (again). At least Amiami doesn't seem to take too long woth restocks.

Edit: Question: With the reveal of SO-DO Chronicle Gaim wave 3, how far do you think the p-bandai sets will go? Do you think we'll get the v-cinema stuff? or the stuff from the recent Gridon/Bravo short? |
Managed to get myself Books 2 and 3! Sorry Deepsea, I think it was the last one. Hopefully they come back in stock soon so that you can get yours!

Gridon and Bravo are pretty significant Riders (and have enough popularity that, well, we got the short), and it's an easy repaint, so I'd put money on both their normal and super forms coming out. As for all the others, we'll either see like, a dozen Apple riders, or none.

Gridon was part of the main 5 shown off at the right at the airing, and they're easily the same rank as, say Sigurd or Marika, who are already confirmed to be on their way. Add to that the fact that they're the main stars of the special over, say, Zangetsu, a guy who had a whole stage production and new super form for himself, and I'd say they hold their own among the other show Riders.

I'm not saying Gridon's not happening, because that would be bizarre; he is part of The 11 as I said and I at one point thought he'd be a part of one of the retail waves. They're absolutely going to prioritise getting those 11 in-show Riders out. I just can't see their V-cinema upgrade forms happening when there's so many more important things to cover; Gaim especially with its multiple post-series specials and movies is one of those seasons that has a metric ton of suits and I don't think we'll see half of those. |
I mean, it's all going out through Premium Bandai anyway, and the they'd have the molds sitting right there, I think it's more likely than not we'll see them, especially over the myriad of othr post-show Riders that exist, especially with how fresh the special is compared to, say, Duke - a Kamen Rider Gaiden.
As for Gridon being prominent in early material, I think it's just a case of the series being rewritten on the fly to better suit audience reaction, given he's in the first scene as one of Baron's lieutenants, only for his role to completly change. Rider be like that sometimes. |

Like, okay, so. We're already on our first wave with the Genesis riders, and it seems pretty set that most if not all PB waves will have a maximum of 3 figures. First of all, as a priority; they need to get out the remaining four riders -- Knuckle, Bravo, Gridon and Kurokage. I think it's also very possible they'll do some sort of armybuilding pack of three Kurokages (with optional Shin parts). After that? Bunch of movie riders and forms. Bujin Gaim, Gaim Yami, Mars, Lapis, Jam, Fifteen. Not even gonna go into the exclusive arms between the Legend Rider stuff in the Movie War/Taisen or the form changes Gaim went through in the soccer movie. Though I will go into Pine, Ichigo, Mango and Kiwi; as those are all the auxiliary forms from the show itself! And the thing is? I didn't even touch post-series stuff here. I'll be generous and say we might get a wave that's Kurokage + the auxiliary arms, but that combined with the other three riders and the six movie riders brings us up to five Premium Bandai waves. And I just listed the stuff that was in Gaim while it was airing and hence what would likely be considered more important to put out than a berserker form for Bravo that appeared for two minutes to sell a CSM set! Heck, I didn't even touch HBVs or stage shows; just the main series and the three movies. That's already a lot of stuff for Premium Bandai Gaim waves and I'm not even confident it will cover all of that in-series stuff with how few characters are in each wave. Realistically, I doubt we'll get to some of these more obscure forms at all; and this is the downside of covering a later series with lots of forms like Gaim. |
Got nothing I can add to the Gaim discussion, other than I hope everyone is able to get figures of their favorite characters and suits. Got Naki stickered up today. They were such a fantastic character, and if it the narrative hadn't completely stopped putting any focus on them or giving them any character development once the Ark arc started, they easily could have been one of my all time favorite Riders.
