Not the show; the S.H. Figuarts line.

It's sort of like... we, as a fandom, have been Charlie Brown, Bandai has been Lucy, and S.H. Figuarts Kiva (base form) is the football.

As cool as it is that this might finally happen, it isn't exactly appropriate to post it in the News and Rumours part

Yeah, thing about the weapons is that they feel a lot like... a lot like Sentai mecha. Less something that just perfectly goes with the character or suit design, and more just there because it's a series requisite and a toy thing. Zi-O and Geiz's weapons, honest to god, I have a very hard time remembering they exist. I can't bring myself to care.

Basically, if a barely used series requisite weapon that's just pushed to the side to focus on the past rider gimmick anyway is not included and that lowers the price... cool. What gets me more is not having a lot of hand options. It's frustrating when it's only like, two extra pairs.

Kohei Takeda being on stage at Tamashii Nations, the last phase in the "Heisei Riders Rising"-marketing campaign gave it away I think.

After that we got additional clues with the secret display base in the Zi-O pedestal sets and these rose pedals. Which I didn’t even spot until now, good job.

I wouldn't have made a new topic for it but still, Kiva is happening, if they didn't reveal him now it would be their most elaborate hoax yet.

its cool kiva is finally getting a high quality figure, just wish i could give a dang about kiva at all

It's more of a "this should already be a done deal by now, what is taking so long?" thing that irritates some whether the person liked or hated Kiva. Specifically, it is rather odd that Emperor form, IXA, Dark Kiva would be released while the most basic form that has its share of fans still has not seen the light of day. At least that is how I see it. :lolol

What's funny is that Otoya and Nago both have two forms each in the SHF line, but not Wataru himself.

Well, Wataru had to make a dramatic entrance. And the show was all about how he was years later.

I mean, that's not entirely true.

It's like they're making the weapon accessories as 'DLC'. What the hell Tamashii? And it's bad enough the figures are getting more expensive in my country!
