Bandai Spirits will release S.H.Figuarts (Shinkocchou Seihou) Riderman Glory Showa Rider Edition, the fourth entry in its Glory Showa Rider line, with preorders opening on Premium Bandai on Friday, October 16, 2026, at 16:00. The figure stands about 145mm tall, costs 11,000 yen including tax, and is scheduled to ship in April 2027. Riderman, the powered suit worn by Joji Yuki in Kamen Rider V3, is sculpted from the skeleton up with a redefined color scheme and a cloth muffler backed by a built-in wire, plus an interchangeable PVC muffler. Five interchangeable hand parts are included for each side, among them a hands-on-both-hips pose part and a pointing-at-an-opponent part. The figure carries the four Cassette Arm configurations: Drill Arm, Power Arm, Rope Arm, and Swing Arm. A renewed Riderman Machine is sold separately, also priced at 11,000 yen, about 170mm long, with a plated front fork and front light cover, a movable handlebar, a deployable side stand, and a rear-wheel suspension gimmick.
The Riderman Machine returns to the S.H.Figuarts line for the first time since a 2015 release, with its cowl and seat resculpted and its overall shape and part details checked against footage and materials from the time. It shares the 11,000 yen price and the April 2027 shipment window with the figure it is meant to pair with, and both open for preorders at the same moment on Premium Bandai.
Riderman is the fourth entry in a Glory Showa Rider Edition group that has been displayed at TAMASHII NATION and in stores, following Rider 1, including the Sakurajima Ver., Rider 2, and V3. Both releases are distributed by BANDAI SPIRITS, and Riderman's set adds a Drill Arm, Power Arm, Rope Arm, and Swing Arm, plus rope extension parts, an interchangeable neck part, a spare antenna, and a dedicated pedestal.
