More Kiva Stuff

And here we go with two upcoming flavors of Kamen Rider Kiva-related merchandise that have me really excited.

Sôchaku-Henshin Kamen Rider Kiva (Kiva Form)

First up is the Sôchaku-Henshin Kamen Rider Kiva (Kiva Form) figure, due out in late March. It looks nice, doesn't it? In addition to sporting loads of articulation (like last year's Den-O figures and the upcoming Figuarts line featuring Rider 1, 2, & V3 as they appeared on the big screen last November), he'll have multiple hands and an opening "Hell's Gate", which is apparently the name for his chained-up right leg. Cool! Expect later Kiva forms to follow in the months after.

HGCORE Part 5

And hey hey hey, it's H.G.C.O.R.E. Part 5, and Bandai continues to impress with the latest offering. There's two differenty-posed versions of Kamen Rider Kiva (again, in Kiva Form), two different versions of Kamen Rider Zeronos (Vega Form), Kamen Rider Armed Hibiki on a base, and then we get to the figures which I'm really, really excited about: Shiomaneking (companion piece to Part 2's Mosquiras and one of the lucky few who tangled with the Double Riders), Kamen Rider X (with optional hands so he can hold Ridol Stick of just be doing a regular ol' X Chop) and a kickin' Kamen Rider 1 (Sakurajima version) which just looks incredible. And apparently Part 6 will feature a Rider 2 from that era to go along with him!

So yeah, I'm gonna need these.
