Do you need a sweet ride to go with some fruity warlords? Bandai has you covered! Today we're taking a look at the Kamen Rider Gaim Lock Vehicles, Sakura Hurricane & Rose Attacker!

The Lock Vehicles are made to go right along with what I'm sure is your ever expanding collection of Arms Change figures. These vehicles are the perfect scale for Arms Change and actually may work well with the forthcoming S.H. Figuarts Gaim riders.

These bikes aren't merely vehicles of course. As the name implies these are Lock Seeds too! And although they lack the electronics of DX & Gashapon Lock Seeds they have the same physical functionality with Gaim roleplay toys like the DX Sengoku Driver & Musou Saber. They can attach to each item and activate generic sound effects but don't activate any special forms or callouts of their own.

Both Sakura Hurricane and Rose Attacker transform just as they do on show. From lock to bike form it's a fun interesting transformation and the finished product is pretty nice if a little bulky in spots. But that's just the nature of making a toy like this. The S.H. Figuarts releases of both bikes will sacrifice the functionality for show accurate bike forms, so no transformation there. But these 2 are very adequate placeholders. I personally have 1 Sakura and 2 Roses and plan to get the SHF releases as well. Just as fun transforming vehicles I can appreciate these bike quite a bit.

They aren't crazy fancy or overly detailed but they're fun and intuitive and really get the job done. These bikes have begun to sell for higher prices on the secondary market, anywhere from $40-60 each so try to find them affordably if you can.

Lock on!
