It's time for Kamen Rider W's 10th anniversary celebrations!

The So-Do Chronicle W line has been EXTREMELY competitionist, to the extent that the most recent set has given us CycloneAccel Xtreme and Eternal Red Flare! So... what can they possibly do at this point?

Give us W again, of course!




This is no simple re-issue, however -- instead, it's very much a premium do-over of the figure; even featuring mold differences! Joker's side has a lot more texturing and a lot less gloss, while Cyclone has a much more metallic colouring to it! Like recent Chronicle and Zero-One figures, a lot more paint is used in general; on the Driver, on the eyes, and many other parts featuring much more premium paint and molding in general.





Take a look at this strangely scaled comparison to see what a difference a year and a bit can make!



There's a few new parts, too -- alternate mufflers for flowing in the wind, and a blank maximum slot for a more accurate Joker Extreme!







It'll go for 1800 yen for a limited time!



... but it'd be a bit lame to just have a re-do for the anniversary, right?






PREMIUM BANDAI BIKE TIME, BABY!!!!

Forging ahead as the first bike in the Chronicle line, this set comes with all the parts you'd want to recreate any Hardboiler action straight from the show!







I guess time will tell if Accel can combine with em, but for now -- orders from Premium Bandai start tomorrow at 3800 yen!





As for Zero-One? Well, we're promised content on both AI08 and Chronicle Kuuga next month; but for now there's a couple questions they're answering!

Does Jin Burning Falcon come with a blank buckle? Yup!



And does Ichigata come with a... uh...



... well, yeah, he comes with whatever that is! I guess!
