The second wave of miniature Kamen Rider helmet replicas is here! It brings us some more Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Ghost helmets, as well as the heads of our favorite slasher heroes / villains from Kamen Rider Amazons.
Included are: - Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms - Kamen Rider Ryugen - Kamen Rider Specter - Kamen Rider Amazon Omega - Kamen Rider Amazon Alfa / Alpha As well as a sixth mystery helmet. Amazon "Alfa" makes up for his weirdly spelled name with an articulated jaw. Kamen Rider Mask World Wave 2 will hit stores in February 2017 for 500¥ apiece, but most export retailers only carry them in a box of ten so be ready to pay around 5000¥ for a whole box of these. Pre-orders are live at the usual places, go there and get these if you want them. A Premium Bandai set featuring some of these sculpts with LED's shouldn't be too far away as well. |

Thanks! I was wondering when the pics would drop for these. I've already got a set on order. The first one was great, though it's disappointing that the light-up ones are strictly Premium Bandai these days. I'm curious as to what the secret ones will be this time out. Ryugen Yomi? Sigma? I was hoping for Kachidoki, but maybe in wave 3.

I've been wondering about the secret one too, none of these sculpts can just be repainted into something else, right? Maybe they do make a retool; in this case all the options you gave could happen.
Guess we find out as soon as you get your set |

Yeah, I'm a sucker for tiny little Rider helmets.
Of course, I'll probably forget they're coming out by February. I did with the first wave. |

I suspect the mystery one will be Zero Specter, as that would require the least amount of tooling among these. They already did Ghost, so all they have to do is put their horns together. Ryugen Yomi would require a completely different back and Sigma is a completely different mold altogether. Nothing they can really do with Kiwami or the Amazons. Really can only imagine it'll be Zero.
Anyway. Yeah these look great. I guess Alfa is just another Gord Drive situation and the official name is weird because of...reasons. Wish I was collecting these but I gotta restrain myself and my wallet. |

They've established these as two special helmets per wave. No doubt they'll have to do some retooling somewhere, but I don't see them only doing one this time out.

There are two? Kiwami only mentioned a sixth, so I was going off that. If there is a second mystery one then yeah. I can see them making it Ryugen Yomi.
...that or they do Dark Ghost too, since technically aside from the horns it's still the same mold as Specter and also wouldn't require them to do anything new. Kinda...doubt that though. A second probably would be Yomi. Just thinking out loud. |

Yeah, the two in the first wave were Bujin Gaim and Black Baron. Easy recolors for them to do.

I knew that the first wave had two, but these things don't always have the same number of mystery items per wave. Looking it up on at least AmiAmi does only mention one extra, so...

Yup, all sources I found have 6 helmets listed, not 7. The 5 we know + 1 mystery helmet.
