By the way, what do Yomi and Yomotsuheguri mean exactly?

Actually, thew Kiwi head on the Ac figure really complements the whole design.

Yomi is the Japanese word for the land of the dead. I have no clue what Yomotsuheguri means.

Yomotsuheguri is the name of the food that they eat in hell (land of the dead).

This and this.

Yomi literally means a yellow well or spring. In Shinto religion it refers to the underworld, land of the dead, hell. Yomotsuheguri is likely derived from Yomotsu Hirasaka and Yomotsu Hegui. The former is the decent into the underworld, a hill or slope of some sort. The latter is a concept referring to the fruit or food of the underworld, and that once it has been eaten, you can never leave.

For further information, look up the story of Kamiumi, in particular the Land of Yomi.

I guess the closest counterpart would be the pomegranate Persephone ate

Hmm. You learn something new every day

I think I'd much rather have an SHF over an AC for this form. Do want the Lockseed, though.

That's pretty neat how the faceplate outline is silver this time around.

Same. It looks great but I'm happy to just wait it out.

Forms like this and Kachidoki, while impressive, are just too specific for AC use to me. It's the same reason I'll happily wait out for a SHF Marika and Sigurd.

Definitely want the Lockseed, but add me to the list of people who would rather wait for the Figuart than get the AC. It's cool, but the Figuart will look much better and hardly cost more since this thing is so expensive for what it is.

Hate to be the naysayer here but it's not really a new arms. All they did was repaint some Kiwi and Grape parts and repaint the base Ryugen figure.

That being said it doesn't look bad from the little picture I see.

They will have to re-mold the Grape sides otherwise the Kiwi helmet won't let it fold up and they will need to remould the skirt piece to match the show.

Looks cool but I think I'll wait for the SHF as well.


The exclusive price tag brings its price up so it's really not much cheaper than what the SHF will probably be.

Its just as new as Duke, really.

Cool

Hopefully it comes with a set of Overlord weapons to use, or at least Redyue's halberd. Also I'm pretty sure the new faceplate isn't silver based on the scans, they're just highlighting the new artwork for it.

I'm thinking about getting into Lockseeds anyone know of a good place to buy them from?

Thanks.

Amazon.com

Thanks.

Please be the last Lockseed/Faceplate released... Please be the last Lockseed/Faceplate released... Please be the last Lockseed/Faceplate released...

On the same note- YES! Another Lockseed!

Faiz’s final form was essentially inverted color Faiz with a jetpack, back guns and a different chest. So this is very reminiscent of that.

I dont think it's silver at all. The rest of the Sengoku driver in the image is completely whited-out, so I guess Bandai's just displaying what the image on the new faceplate is gonna look like.

I'm close to getting all the ACPB's the only ones I have not pre-ordered are Mars, Kamuro, and this one.

Can Tamashi Stands work on the AC Figures

They can.

That lockseed looks like a must buy for me.

I really will never get the lockseed collecting thing.

But I like repaint ryugen

Micchy is going to hell, THAT makes me smile

How come every single Armored Rider gets an AC except Fifteen. How come he gets no love. He is my favorite Armored Rider & my favorite Dark Rider, yet he gets no physical repression.

Probably due to the way Fifteen Arms itself works, making it difficult for them to engineer a suitable "alternative" form for it to take when unfolded. Believe you me, I'd love to get Decade and Gaim Arms, but at this point I think we're better off waiting for, and more likely to get, an SHF Fifteen.

They could do this to give us the rest of the Arms Change figures we don't have

ACPB 07- Gaim Yami: Black Jinba Arms & Kurokage-Shin
ACPB 08- Kurokage Trooper & Baron Lemon Energy Arms
ACPB 09- Gaim Fresh Orange Arms
ACPB 10- Fifteen: Fifteen Arms, Gaim Arms, Decade Arms, & Ichigou Arms

And maybe

ACPB EX- Legend Rider Arms Kuuga-Kiva

I would buy all this Bandai

BOOM! Actual prototype revealed:

That preview shows he will have all the Overlord weapons. God damn, now I do need him x_x

Hey if you guys look at the corner, it seems we're getting a Dark Lemon Energy Seed too.

Roshou's Greatsword... gatdam...

And I officially need new pants. Love that this figure is happening but I really really hope Premium Bandai goes back at some point to cover the riders and arms skipped so far.

I just love Gaim so much and seeing a (most likely) final boss rider is filling me with so much hype!

I will buy the lockseed for sure, hope I get one.

And I hope it’s just for the toy, but I would have wished the Kiwi Gekirin and Budou Ryuhou would have new colors in Yomotsu Heguri Arms.
