Fans of the beloved Kamen Rider franchise have something to look forward to as Bandai Spirits announces the release of several new toys tied to the popular series, Kamen Rider Geats. From angel-themed figures to collaborative sets, the company is set to delight collectors and young fans alike with innovative and engaging products.
Set to launch on February 15, 2025, the DX Rider Gochuzou Angel Set is one of the intriguing new additions. Inspired by the dramatic scenes from the Kamen Rider Geats show, this set features the Gochuzou figure with angel wings, capturing the essence of its ascension moment. The product is more than just another action figure; it includes a display base styled to provide the illusion of flight, offering both play value and aesthetic appeal.
According to Bandai Spirits, "DXライダーゴチゾウエンジェルセットは2025年2月15日に発売予定！" emphasizing the anticipation and excitement surrounding the upcoming launch. The Angel Set is expected to appeal not only for its collectible nature but also for its creative design which enhances imaginative play.
But the Angel Set isn't the only new toy on the horizon. The DX Rider Gochuzou Series 04 is scheduled for release on January 25, 2025. This series promises to add variety to the Gochuzou lineup with eight different versions of the Gochuzou figure, each featuring distinct facial expressions. The collection includes the standard versions of Chokoldu Gochuzou and Chokodango Gochuzou, along with alternate expressions to bring them to life.
Notably, the standard Gochuzou figures closely resemble designs already familiar to fans, ensuring consistency across the toy line. Collecting all eight variants could make for quite the visual display, with each character adding its own flair to the collection.
Bandai Spirits also hinted at interactive play with the new series, stating, "DXライダーゴチゾウシリーズ04は1月25日より発売", allowing fans to pair these Gochuzou figures with the separate DX transformation belt to engage in exciting role-playing scenarios.
Further pushing the boundaries of creativity, Bandai is launching the DX Rider Gochuzou Special Set - Umaibo Collaboration version on March 15, 2025. This special set is notable for its collaboration with the popular Japanese snack, Umaibo. The set features Gochuzou figures themed around the cheese flavor of Umaibo along with two additional Gochuzou figures (yellow and purple) and custom stickers to personalize them.
With this release, fans can transform Gochuzou figures to represent Kamen Rider Geats’ Shot Snack Form. This integration of beloved snacks with toy figures not only enhances play but also taps deeply rooted sentiments, bringing nostalgic joy to fans who may have grown up with both Kamen Rider shows and the tasty Umaibo snack.
Each toy set highlights Bandai's commitment to detailed craftsmanship and the innovation of play experience, claiming, "DXライダーゴチゾウ スペシャルセット -うまい棒コラボver.-を3月15日より発売."
