Is there no Kiva figuart or am I just not seeing it? I see Ixa, Rising Ixa, Emperor Kiva, and hell even Kiva-La, but no Kiva.

There is not, nor has there ever been, a Kiva.

As the community is quick to point out every single time something new is so much as alluded to.

Is there any reason for this that we know of? It seems weird to have all of the other ones but not Kiva himself.

The actual suit was a bit notorious for it's weight, supposedly the same issue may be the cause of why there hasn't been a figuart, specifically the right leg being too much for the joints.

Now this wasn't an issue for the SIC so I'm not entirely sure how believable that speculation is. But that's about the only thing to go on besides the fact Kiva's merchandise didn't sell too hot, which honestly still isn't much of an excuse. But this is Bandai, some of their decisions are truly baffling.

Maybe Kiva default form Figuarts will be releaed in 2018 for Kiva 10th years anniversary. Maybe SHF Kiva will be released as Shinkocchou Seihou just like Kamen Rider Hibiki.

The second part is a given, but when it will come out... yeah.

I personally think they will wait until every other pre-Decade Heisei Rider is done as a Shinkocchou Seihou and then they do Kiva last to advertise him as the missing puzzle piece everyone needs.

He fits that description already but Bandai's marketing team might want to pour even more salt into everyone's wounds to earn money.

I can see Shinkocchou Seihou Faiz and OOO happening next.

I swear I nearly want Wizard and OOO more than Kiva. Nearly. They just look so bad next to my other Riders. Although OOO is not unrealistic for 2018, I'd be shocked it Wizard happened any sooner. I also suspect you're right about Faiz, but he just doesn't seem to be in as severe need of a re-do. I couldn't even hazard a guess about Kiva. Once they produced Kiva-la - at retail, no less! - I gave up.

Its happening.

At this point, I probably won't even buy Kiva. I've come to the decision that I only need to buy the Kamen Riders that are either from my favorite series or that are my favorites rather than buying every Kamen Rider in existence.
