Figure-Rise Standard Kamen Rider W Revealed!
 

Release details pending, but Figure-Rise W was among those revealed by Bandai Spirits during a model kit exhibition at a hobby show in Japan.

Can we expect a Decade in this line, now?

That's super interesting; I didn't expect them to do a different scale figure of a suit they'd already done in the 1/8 line. Hoping to see Ichigo and Skull at some point!

Though I'd really like to start seeing some secondary riders from the standard line. Cross-Z and Gatack would be a great start...

Either way I'm very happy about this. I consider W/OOO/Fourze a trio of sorts, and since I pre-ordered Seihou OOO but I really can't get past Seihou W's aftermarket pricing... this will be a very lovely substitute!

Any more info on this? It looks fantastic and at the usual pricing I'm gonna buy it anyway; but I do wanna know a bit more. In particular, that middle seam looks a little open near the bottom -- maybe there's a form change gimmick...

I think you're right. At first I thought it was just a decal but looking closely again it seems like there is a possibility of it being incorporated, and they should considering his rider kick consists of him splitting in half. :lolol

This would also be the perfect figure of him to do it with -- it's a model kit! The whole point is that you take it apart and customise it how you want! It's too late for Build, but I'd love to see it done here

Awesome. Never enough W or model kits. I really hope OOO is next and they follow through with the form-swapping the MG failed to deliver on.

... well then!
Very interested!

I want this to be on order badly now.

I just got into model kits. Are Figure-rise Standards the equivalent to Gunpla's HG, or RG? Since MG Figurerise is MG.

HG. No inner frame, onetime s requires stickers/paint for small details.

Obviously the rerelease of Seihou Figuarts Kuuga took up all the attention today; but quite significantly, pre-orders for not just Cyclone/Joker but Heat/Metal and Luna/Trigger went up today! The latter two are the same standard price; while Cyclone/Joker is... about £1 more expensive? Weird, but alright; not gonna lose sleep over it.

Cyclone/Joker and Heat/Metal are slated for an August release while Luna/Trigger comes out in September.

The accessory count is relatively low for Figure-Rise but really, considering how basic W's loadout is; he comes with everything he needs and I'm more than happy with it considering we have working Joker Extreme and Form Change gimmicks. They all come with a display base, interchangeable hands, and their respective memories which are interchangeable themselves. For accessories unique to each figure, Heat/Metal has both an open and stored version of the Metal Shaft; Luna/Trigger has the Trigger Magnum - which from multiple pictures, seems to be functional - and Cyclone/Joker of course has parts for the working Joker Extreme gimmick.

We've also got pictures which show how the Joker Extreme and Form Change works, as well as an example of the working Driver!

Thanks for the heads up! I'd been staring longingly at the new Figuarts W despite the price. Good to know there's an alternative.

That's pretty much my thing too; Seihou W is of course just too expensive on the aftermarket and this still looks incredible for what it is.
I'm actually at a point where even if they were the same price, I want the figure-rise versions of W and Kabuto MORE than their Renewal Figuarts due to the form change gimmicks
