Slated for a late December 2008 release, it's another volume of the wildly-successful Motion Revive Series Kamen Rider candy toy series, number 6 to be exact. Candy Toy lines come and go, so it's nice to see one actually sticking around for a while (the last two "motion" lines tanked after one set each.)
Especially nice, since these? Are pretty awesome. They've honestly been putting bigger lines to shame with the variety of characters and consistent quality. 5 sets down and I've loved 'em all. Up until the recent FiguArts versions, it was this series that gave us the best-yet versions of the Hopper bros., plus the secret figures (which are thankfully easy to get) are always pretty awesome. And they come with a bunch of accessories; weapons, multiple hands, stuff like that. In the last set alone, we got both original versions of IXA with basically all his weaponry between the two of them. Someone should send the memo up to the Sôchaku-Henshin people.
Now, the sixth volume will give us something old and something new. Kiva is represented by Rising IXA and Kiva Emperor Form, the latter of which will include "a sword" according to the pic there. In other words, the thing from the toy picture that's been floating around for a while now (and appears in shaded-out form in the kiddie mags this month.) Kamen Rider Kuuga gets in on the action with two Rising Forms, Mighty & Pegasus. And then there's... Blade! Hey, why not, since they just did Hibiki and have sort of been working backwards. It will be interesting to see how this Blade stacks up with the older version from his own one-set "Motion" series.
Given that these things tend to have 6 figures plus a secret one, there's still one more regular figure to be revealed. I'm predicting either Saga, Garren, another Kuuga form, or someone completely out of left field. As for the secret figure, it could be Blade Jack Form, a Shocker Rider (finally?), another Kuuga form, or again, someone completely out of left field. We'll see!
