They're Damashii though. I assume that as form changes go they are about as cheap as you can get. If the Hyper Battle Video can get away with two brand new forms, I don't really see how it could be a budget thing for an actual movie. Besides, while yeah, usually the form changes for the crossovers are kinda gimmicky, I think at least a Da Vinci form would make perfect sense and flow perfectly naturally. I mean. I'm guessing. Who actually knows.

The second Damashii, on the other hand, probably would be Drive. Yeah. That'd probably be kinda gimmicky. I don't know, could be Krim. I mean, that'd make more sense than anything.

My own Crazy Theory is that Bandai wants to be Super Duper Secret about it for some reason and won't release or announce anything until like, the day it comes out. But yeah, we'll have answers in like 10 days.

Maybe Chase becomes a Damashii somehow and that's why they're keeping it secretive.

Dai4 has put up a page for Gashapon set 10.

Rather peculiarly, it doesn't say it comes with "Legend Riders" but instead "Heisei Rider." I can only assume that means it comes with the actual Heisei Rider Eyecon, and uh...other things I guess?

Also, colors for these previews aren't the most accurate things ever, but both the Gashapon and SG sets coming out in March have an orange one, so I'm betting that's for reals. March is around the time the mid-season form debuts, so I can't imagine that's a coincidence.

With the new Jyuohger toy catalog being revealed, it revealed two new Ghost items. The Eyecon Driver G which will be released March 2016 and the GC11 Kamen Rider Ghost Grateful Soul which will be released April 2016.

The Eyecon Driver G sounds interesting. Could it be a fourth rider or a way for Ghost to access his final form?

I wish we had prices so we could guess at least how big that Driver actually is. I doubt it's an actual Driver, so a power-up thing seems likely. Though I can't really imagine anything to hook up to the Ghost Driver without it being weird. That thing is bulky as hell as it is. G could stand for Grateful so there's that too.

edit: nevermind I just noticed it does say Henshin belt in the catalog. Belt it is. They haven't ever changed the belt for a main Rider that I know, so...I'm guessing fourth Rider then?

Grateful is of course not one of the sounds found in the Driver, so either way either the corresponding Eyecon has electronics or it only works with something else. I hope Grateful is like Boost though, where he gains a new base form but has other forms.

Huh. It would actually be kind of interesting for the main Rider to change Drivers. I mean, it kind of sucks from a toyline standpoint. But otherwise, hey, that would be a first.

Or maybe the G stands for Ganma? I doesn't say "Ghost" anywhere on there. Maybe it's a way for Ganma to more efficiently benefit from Heroic Eyecons? Or vice versa? Maybe it allows Ghost to take on the powers of Ganma he's slain, similar to Javelle? Well, the speculation is fun at least. :p

Can't wait to see pictures.

A Ganma belt...now there's an idea! I mean, there's also those transformation Ganma Eyecons like the Renaissance trio and Javelle that definitely look like they were made to be toys, but they can't fit into a Driver at all. A special belt for that would be pretty cool. (it'd also be cool if those were ever released...). Of course it would be pretty weird/kinda lame to have different trinkets that don't work with the other transformation items there are, but still. Could be interesting.

Ok, BIG-ISH news coming from the Gashapon front.

The second Eyecon in set 6 (with Double) has been revealed. It's Boost, surprisingly. Looks like it's gonna be a normal Eyecon. Wonder how it's gonna work. Have the set preordered so I'm interested in seeing if it can actually switch between modes.

Kirakiramekki ver. looks pretty slick too.

MORE IMPORTANTLY THO

The super secret Eyecon from set 7 has been revealed as well!

It's a Blank Eyecon!

Definitely did not see that coming, and DEFINITELY want it. I've wanted one since episode 1. Hecks yeah.

Unfortunately being super rare and everything I seriously doubt I'll get one in my set, but worth trying I guess.

'Course this means I can't cancel my order for either of these which means my total expenses for January will be only...*adds up*...16500 yen. Haha fuck me. Why couldn't the Sunglasslasher just come out this month...

Have they announced what will be in SG3 yet?

Yeah. Beethoven, Billy, Benkei and Nobunaga. Pretty much just finishing off the last of the quarter 1 Eyecons.
