Bandai's Upcoming S.I.C. Kamen Rider G Den-O
An enemy for Diend
And definitely more Den-O riders
Well after a while, Bandai presents with yet another non-tempting release for me. Sure G Den-O was strong (until DiEnd pawned him anyway) but really just not my cup of tea I guess XD But anyway, to those who are planning on getting him, Bandai states that he will come with a den gasher, 2 rider passes and the usual replacement hands.
Well, another exclusive with quite a few accessorie, well, Den-O fans will probably still get him though. G Den-O is scheduled for an October release for 5,775 yen. Images and info from Tamashii Web Shop's product page.

Bandai's Upcoming S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii Horse Orphnoch -Sprint State-
This I wasn't expecting the most XD
But it still is a welcomed addition to the Kiwami line
Basically the sprint state retains the accessories of the standard release which would be the hands, the shield and the sword; the main difference however, is that this IS the main attacking form of the Horse Orphnoch, featuring the Centaur like appearance. The updated mold looks great and how I really wish that this had landed on the big SIC scale. :(
Horse Orphnoch is scheduled for a September release as well for a price of 3,150 yen. Images and info from Tamashii Web Shop's product page.

Bandai's Upcoming S.I.C. Kamen Rider Gills and Another Agito
And it seems OOO is still far off from getting an SIC release
We're back to Agito again for the new volume.
Similar to the Shining/Burning Agito pack, Another Agito is pretty much a stand alone only with some replacement hands thus, making the accessories of this pack belong to Gills mostly. As I have been eagerly waiting for Gills to receive the SIC treatment, I'm still quite on the edge on getting this since he's still not on Exceed mode and there's nothing indicated that Exceed parts will come along with the pack. :(
Anyway, Gills have claws, open mouth and tentacles for his accessories aside from the usual replacement hands.

Bandai's Upcoming S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii Horse Orphnoch
Yuji Kiba... in his humanoid Horse Orphnoch form...
I seriously despise KT for having Horse Orphnoch >.<
Despite being announced since last month, it was only sometime last week that the orders went up as well as its corresponding product page in tamashii's website. Following the release of Wolf Orphnoch, comes the Horse, another one of the main characters in the show; Horse Orphnoch will come along with his sword and shield as well as 2 extra right hands and one for the left for hand swapping.
As it seems Bandai is going all out on Faiz, I won't be surprised if even a riotrooper is made soon but anyway, Yuji here is scheduled to be released on April for 1575 yen.

Bandai's Upcoming S.I.C. Volume 62 Kamen Rider ZX
The 10th!
That just leaves SIC with 1 more to complete the Showa Era...
After failing to impress me with the latest released SIC which is Skyrider, ZX, though did not really made an appeal to me back on his original suit design. I do love the character after reading Spirits. And the SIC made him really awesome and IMO one of the best looking Showa Riders to date. Arming ZX with a shuriken, his bomb, a grappling hook and even a Katana. ZX proves to be the most interesting Showa Rider release to me so far.
ZX is scheduled to be released on March 2012 for 4,410 yen. Images and info from tamashii's product page.

Bandai's Upcoming S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii Side Basshar
Following Kaixa's release would be his very own bike
And it didn't even have it's own big version SIC release to boot XD
Like all bikes, it's meant to be ridden by its designated rider but also like Autovajin, the Side Basshar has a fully transformable feature that stands into something that's 18cm tall.
Bandai also featured an image wherein Faiz and Kaixa are riding it both similar to one scene in the show.
Side Basshar rolls into your favorite japan shops on February 2012 for 3,990 yen. Images and info from tamashii's product page.

Review: [Bandai] S.I.C. Limited Kamen Rider NEW Den-O Strike Form
| Figure Information | |
| Manufacturer: | Bandai |
| Origin Series: | Saraba Kamen Rider Den-O: Final Countdown |
| Scale: | Non-Scale |
| Height: | Approximately 18cm tall |
| Original Price: | 5,775 Yen |
| Figure Box: |
Like all other web exclusives (this one's a Toei Hero Net exclusive btw) they all come with the brown boxes of exclusivity lol. Opening it would then reveal the box and the box is another boring box, just a blue box with some kind of imprint of NEW Den-O's SIC design in gold print; the back has his official shot in blue-ish hue.
| Figure Details: |
NEW Den-O's SIC frme is basically a retool and repainted frame of the Climax Form, the details are still as impressive as usual, most notable part of the design for me would be the shoulder pads; while it was originally small, SIC's reimagining of it turned them into thruster like pads which was impressive. The use of dark gold trims helps in bringing out the details on him especially for the generic lower half of Den-O Riders.
If I'd nitpick,what I didn't actually like about his design is that his eyes seem too ridiculously huge and that because of it's massive size the mouth piece of New Den-O doesn't popout too much which is quite a waste of the detail IMO.

| Accessories: |
Accessory is another disappointment here,as NEW Den-O was released in tandem with the Cho Den-O Trilogy Episode Blue. Strike Form ridiculously only came with MachTeddy as his only weapon when they could've included the Axe and the Rod as well. He also comes with some extra handsets and the usual pass but is indeed lacking in accessories.
| Articulation: |
Articulation point is exactly the same as other Den-O Riders, 2 ball joints for the neck, ball joints on the torso, shoulders, hips and ankles while possessing a double jointed hinge on the elbows and the knees; the wrists and toes are also powered by a single hinge.
While NEW Den-O only had one weapon, posing him around was certainly good, and he can surprisingly pull off a lot of NEW Den-O's signature poses. While he still have that shoulder pad block that most SICs have, he truly can do dynamic poses with ease and this is probably his saving grace for me. Well, you can actually give him Kintaros' Axe for some added play value but unfortunately, I don't have it. XD But yeah, it doesn't bring down his enjoyable articulation.
| Final Thoughts: |
Design wise, I initially liked it back in prototypes but when I got him, it became so-so because of the massive eyes. I won't recommend him but I also won't say he's not worth getting, I'll leave it to you if you want it or not, but my one say on this is that for something that's a Toei Hero Web Exclusive, he definitely does not make up for his exclusivity because of the things he lacks but for a good poseable Den-O rider, he's definite one with those at the top.
