Seems like an optional piece for this particular Tatoba figure since it does not imply that it is web exclusive or something of that nature and just says scheduled for August, its price tag, and its size.

This definitely looks like a form change gimmick was built in.

I'm absolutely looking forward to more info on this. Didn't expect we'd be getting both a Kiva and a renewal of OOO in the same year. Now all the Neo Heisei riders will be up to par (Since Fourze still holds up very well until he gets a renewal himself).

It is. They just won’t include any parts to make use of it apparently.

I called this as soon as I saw it wasn't being reissued like the other figures for Zi-O.

When should I expect this to go up for preorder? I absolutely CANNOT miss out on OOO, I've been waiting for this for years.

I'm beyond over the moon for this as OOO is my favourite show and Rider, and I'm so excited for a good figure of him to finally happen. That it's combo change is even better -- I adore that gimmick and to see it recreated like this is amazing! My wallet's gonna hate me though because it means I'll be investing in figures I otherwise wouldn't care much for like Sagohzo and Ratoratah, lol.

One thing I'd like to bring up though: this solves the mystery of why OOO wasn't rereleased in 20 Rider Kicks. ... so what about Fourze and Ghost? I'd say that maybe they don't want it to conflict with the upcoming SICs, but Ryuki still saw a rerelease. Hmmm...

Expect April 1st (no joke), but I'll post the date once it's confirmed.

I will rebuy and replace my whole collection of OOOs if they release them. As much as I loved the series and bought the original figuarts, I didn’t like the sculpts on the figures.

Oh my frick FINALLY!!!

One way they could make duplication of body segments sting less is by not actually duplicating them. If they were to do a GataKiriBa release, they could do the lower body in its insect-legs state. TaJaDor's head wouldn't be a duplicate. The tiger torso is the only one I think would straight-up have to be a re-do.
