Honestly, the figure-rise Kamen rider build kit is a much better prospect given that he does come with the sword and a display stand.

I caved in and preordered Faiz... I hope I won’t regret this....as for Build, I might go the figure rise route just for the accessories...

I think the fans treated the Figuarts like they treated the show, you don't like the show? you are not going to get the figures. Personally, I would still get them because they are Kamen Rider figures, a franchise that I like and mostly because the design of the suits are just incredible regardless of how bad the show was.

Some people say it is a bust because the parkas hinder the figures' movements and the other reason was because the driver does not open to put the eyecons in and so they see that even the eyecons are useless. Besides putting them on the sword/gun they have no other use.

I only got one figure but that's me with almost every season...my favorites get a special treatment, I can go all out if I feel like it.

I try to go for the Two main Riders, only last year was an exception where I got Ex-aid and Dangerous Zombie...

Yeah, getting Build and Drive is pointless if they don't include the weapons. Why is Tamashii being stingy with the accessories lately? Remember how it was a damn blessing to have a Ryuki and Dragredder AND the weapons for a good price?

Hell even the Ultraman didn't really get a complete accessory (Geed Claw anyone?)

I found more preview images. Den-O is shown with his travel pass, the sword, and the swappable belt attachments. No effect part. The Ryuki picture features Advent Cards, the Dragvisor, and the Strike Vent dragon-head attachment.

I don't recall hearing anything related to this project since the announcement of the Rider Kicks Figuarts reissues. I haven't missed anything, have I?

Not really.
Kohei Takeda has been confirmed as being involved with the Rider stage at Tamshii Nations, though, so one may reasonably expect that Kiva may actually be in the cards for the third Rising Project announcement. Nothing much beyond that. We should be getting some sort of other announcement before that too, but who knows what. Tamashii Nations is in a month so we won't have to wait too long now, I guess.

Tamashii tweeted that the second round of Heisei Riders Rising will be revealed (and probably go up for pre-order) on Monday, October 1st.

I expect more reissues, but I will be glued to my phone, just in case these maniacs put a Shinkocchou Seihou OOO up for pre-order without any warning.

If SS OOO happens I might just die

It's funny I was wondering what happened to the rest of the announcements they said they'd make earlier today. Now I'm excited.

SS OOO and Fourze, SS Kiva and Figuarts Zi-O and Geiz are all still on the table.

I'm hyped. OOO, Hyper Muteki, Kiva and TheBee are the top of my want list. If even one of those get announced I'll lose my shit.

If some combination of those get announced I might just die from over excitement lol.

I think we'll for sure see Kamen Rider Evol either here or at the Tamashii Nations event.

Expecting everyone's reaction(including myself) to be this when they don't reveal S.H. Figuarts Kiva and Bandai trolls us for the umpteenth time.

I mean I've only been into Toku since Ghost was airing live and I'm currently making my way through Heisei Phase 1 (Kuuga and Agito done, Ryuki Episode 13 atm.) but I feel for you guys.

This won't be Kiva guys, he'll be revealed at Tamashii Nations. It'll either be another round of reissues and/or Zi-O and Geiz.

Yeah, despite whether Kiva as a show was good or not, it was just odd how the other riders from the show and the protagonist's final form got the figuarts treatment but not Kiva's Kiva form.

If so I guess I will get that Ron Burgundy clip ready for infinite loop. :lolol
I think what gave me a glimpse of hope was that Takeda was to be part of the panel/talk show event thing, and as we all know, he was 1980's bubble economy era Japan playboy violinist and dad to a hermit dhampir before he was alternate reality Hokkaido Mii-tan otaku.

I'd like to believe it's not Zi-O and Geiz, if only because they've been touting these announcements as, y'know, surprises. Nothing would be less surprising than the current series Rider getting a Figuarts entry.

Maybe if they gave them the Shinkocchou Seihou treatment. I don't know if they'd do that at this juncture, though, since the show wouldn't even have been on the air/in production long enough for them to have measured out the suit-with-actor. I'm assuming the design process on Figuarts is lengthy, and the design on SS Figuarts even more so.

I'm probably expecting too much, since the first big announcement was just reissues of existing Figuarts, some of which come with fewer accessories than their original releases.

Carp, carp, carp. Hey, SS Ibuki is a fantastic figure! I've been fighting with my wind effects set trying to get his chopping-the-vortex pose to look passable.

WHAT IF... they announce S.H. Figuarts Kazumi with his trademark coat and Mii-tan merch...

And today's announcement is just Geiz and Zi-O.

Well, and Rider Kicks Figuarts will continue with what, as far as I can tell, are the Shinkocchou Seihou versions of W and Kuuga. It doesn't look like they come with their standard accessories, and instead come with a whole set of Ride Watch stands each.

The most interesting element is that one of the Ride Watch stands that comes with Kuuga is deliberately blacked-out. Also, they're listed chronologically: the next one in the sequence - the one that's blacked out - would be Kiva.

I'm not sure how much I'd read into that, actually. There are 18 stands (well, stand-inserts) in total, and Decade isn't shown. The blacked-out insert could be Decade, in which case... KIVA FAIL.

It looks like they're insanely cheap.

Kuuga and W aren't being rereleased, those are just stand sets. Five stands, sheets for 9 Riders each. Kuuga and Double are just shown to indicate that you should buy these overpriced stands if you want your SS's to match with the 20th Rider Kicks stands.

Oh, man, you're right. LAME.

The only reason I can see for them keeping the final Ride Watch insert secret is that they want people wondering if it's Kiva or Decade. Regardless, even if you buy both sets and Zi-O, you'll be missing an insert for a main Heisei Rider. Classy.

Hypothesis: Zi-O Decade Ride Armor is being designed and will come with the Decade stand.

Oh for the love of...*presses play*

So Zi-O and Geiz as expected. Both look great. Zi-O's got the OG Build pricing and Geiz is a bit more expensive due to coming with both ridewatch stands.

Hoping Zi-O's price means it's a special pricing for the occasion and that he actually comes with his weapon. Not holding my breath, but keeping hopeful.

i hope they start doing the main secondary Riders next. Still need a couple for my collection.
