I will own these. I hope to get them from CSTOYS on launch day, but we shall see.

Huh. Thanks to these pics I fiiiinally understand what happens to the faces themselves when the armors unfold. For whatever reason I just never noticed they fall onto the backs. These make so much more sense now.

But yeah they are cooler than looking than I expected in toy form.

I need to find ichigo kurosaki as zangetsu fan art

Damn I can't wait to get my hands on these things. I doubt figuarts of such off the wall forms will ever be made so I gotta have em.

I wonder how wizard would look on Baron.

Fourze and W are astounding!

The magnum makes sense in the context of Ryugen having a gun as his base weapon. However, I am still miffed that the eyes aren't red, like W himself. At least this is potentially correctable in toy form with some paint.

You're totally right about the eyes. I tried photoshopping red eyes just to see how it would look and now the green and purple eyes are off-putting.

Despite the eye incongruity, I am super jazzed about these Rider arms. Ever since Decade, Bandai has made Rider changer items - Gaia Memories, medals, switches, rings, but none have actually given the newer riders any weapons if they were used in the show/movie at all. At best, they summoned the old riders.

For W, OOO and Fourze, I can see how this would have been impractical - half a Kuuga, Decade's arms, or W's foot (never watched Wizard besides the Decade episodes).

However, the actual rider armies of Gaim are really neat! I know they're making more rider lock seeds, but I hope they make more Rider arms too!

This shit is totally bonkers, and I might have to buy it just for how ridiculous it is. What are the odds of Figuarts releases of these, after all?
