Bandai Japan is releasing a new line of 10cm figures from Kamen Rider Shodo this September in their SHODO line.


There will be four figures

I have added all four figures to the Archive

There is also a Kamen Rider line from Bandai America that was released around 2008-2009.

Yah, these look fun as all hell. With all the license-farming Disney is allowing over in Japan with Marvel and StarWars, is there any way one of them damn companies could do 18th Marvel since nobody else seems to give a rat's ass?

These look super cool.

Bandai's Motion Figures of a few years ago were super fun, so I imagine these will be too.
They were also made to be played with and the limbs didn't pop off all the time like the Marvel figures.
I hope we'll get multiple assortments.

Rider X have a knife that pulls out of his belt, or is that the throttle handle for his dingus?

What are we looking at pricewise?

I'm with Redmao. If these are anything like their Motion Revive Series, then they'll be great. And they're a good bit sturdier than Microman. I'd gladly give any of these a home if the price is reasonable.

The only place I've seen them so far is Amiami. About $35 USD for a box of 10.

They had some Dragon Ball Z figures a few months back in the same format.

Those seemed a bit smaller especially due to their huge hair styles.

Since they're 10/case, I'm wondering of there's gonna be a couple of surprise repaints or if the ratio is 3x/3x/2x/2x. All that artic, *and* they come with gum. Even if it's some weird Japanese squid nuts flavor, that's still a fantastic value.

I wonder if the different hands mean they all come with swappable hands or if those are variants.

Probably come with swappable hands.

I've got some of the Monster Hunter MRS figures and I would say the Dragon Ball figures are about the same quality.

Dragon Ball figures came with 2 sets of hands.

$35 for a box of 10 is almost shockingly reasonable. I don't remember the Motion Revives being that low-priced. At the risk of sounding overly cynical, are these things decent quality?

They look like they all have the same bottom half and arms. Only molding diff torsos and heads, plus being disposable-mold gashapon is where the savings might be coming into play.

Fwiw, I'm getting a 5400JPY = $43.44USD conversion, but that's still a great deal.
