Not unexpected, although it requires a bit more new molding than most of W's forms. I haven't delved into alternate forms for Shinkocchou Seihou Riders, and I'm not sure I ought to... I'm pretty much out of space.

I'm still waiting if the SS Den-O rumor is going to be verified on the event. I hope they prioritize first the main riders and finally give Kiva the figure that people have been waiting for.

*Sigh* Couldn't let it go unsaid, could you?

I think it's fair that if Group A has to accept Bandai's extreme reluctance to produce Kiva, it's fair for Group B to accept that people are going to lament that fact. Only Bandai can rectify this state of affairs.

*glares at Bandai*

As to the Den-O thing, I was wondering if they might do something other than Den-O Sword Form. The existing Den-O is a very good action figure, but Momotaros could definitely use an upgrade.

What I'm *really* hoping for this Den-O announcement, though? Ryutaro. After Takeshi Hongo, he makes a LOT of sense.

Personally, I don't care about form changes in this subline, it's all about main Riders for me, so I also hope that the Den-O teaser turns out to be a Den-O Sword form.

Plus maybe some movement on the Showa-front with a Rider 2 figure.

The only thing that makes sense to me is a new Hana Figuart. Both to replace that horrendous anime-looking one they did, and because a 1:12 scale Yuriko Shiratori would be quite fantastic, for obvious reasons ;)

I'm 100% down for this.

This is one of the cooler forms of W.

It's now officially revealed by Tamashii, W Fang Joker will be a retail release in April for the usual 6480¥. Which crushes my hopes for a surprise Den-O Sword Form pre-order after the event but oh well.

No reason why Sword Form won't get revealed at the event, and get released the month later or in the same month.

You're right of course, but I just think they want to avoid putting two Shinkocchou Seihou figures up so close to each other since it looked like they avoided it in the past.

They could put them up at the same time and release Den-O later, but I think with confirming Fang Joker we see Sword Form up for pre-order in January.

The exception to that seems when they go the Premium Bandai route, but Den-O is such a popular character that I don't see them going that route. Maybe for someone like Hana or one of the other Taros but not a titular character.

If Seihou Sword form is gonna be a thing I think it'd be most likely that we'll see him go up for pre-order, January or February pre order time seems likely.

Yup, Sword form is pretty much guaranteed to be a retail release.

It depends on how crazy Sword form sells, we got stuff like Accel and Skull at retail after it seemed like only main Riders would get released through retail.

The Taros are so popular I could see them at retail. Especially Momotaros.

What if they actually release Sword form and Momotaros in a two-pack with an optional single release for Sword Form? That would be pretty cool IMO.

Agreed.

Cool, but also expensive lol.

Official pictures are up, pre-orders open tomorrow, November 28th in Japan!
