Kamen Rider is in a merchandise-heavy period across the Showa, Heisei and Reiwa lines, with Kamen Rider Mice airing as the 8th Reiwa series and a 20th-anniversary Kabuto slate running through 2027. The V-Cinext label has no continued production planned for now, per producer Shin-ichiro Shirakura.
The stories assembled here are mostly Bandai Spirits and Premium Bandai product announcements, and together they trace how far the current Kamen Rider merchandise line reaches. The Kabuto 20th anniversary is the clearest organising thread: an S.H.Figuarts Dark Kabuto Rider Form 20th Anniversary Ver. figure, a KickHopper and PunchHopper two-figure set, a CSM Kabuto Zecter and Hyper Zecter ver.2, and a ZECT Rare card in the Niformation wafer line all carry the anniversary, with the figure releases scheduled for February and March 2027 and the CSM set for April 2027.
The toy line is not limited to Kabuto. Shinkocchou Seihou releases cover Ryuki (Kamen Rider Scissors, with a Volcancer and option parts set whose sales have moved to a second lottery round), V3 (Riderman, the fourth Glory Showa Rider entry), and a two-figure POWER KNUCKLE byTOUMA set of Kamen Rider 1 and Kuuga at 200% scale. CSM adds a Ghost Touson Boost and Mugen Eyecon set and Faiz items including the Faiz Blaster and Faiz Phone ver.2.5.
On screen, the series is in a transition the merchandise is already tracking. Kamen Rider Mice began airing on September 6, 2026 as the 8th Reiwa series, and its S.H.Figuarts figure had preorders open on August 27, 2026 ahead of the broadcast. Toei is marking Kamen Rider Ex-Aid's 10th anniversary with free streaming of all 45 episodes as the first of five planned announcements. Separately, producer Shin-ichiro Shirakura said on X on September 20 that the V-Cinema (V-Cinext) label has no plans for continued production for the time being, naming Kamen Rider Kabuto 20th: The One Who Inherits the Heavens as likely the last.

Toei producer Toshinari Yanaka and PLEX designer Akira Yamamoto discussed the creation of the movie-exclusive form Kamen Rider Zezt Agent Dream in an interview with Cinema Today. The form appears in the film "Kamen Rider Zezt: Farewell Mission," which opens July 24 as a double feature with "Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity: The Day the Sun Cried." Yanaka said the design team deliberately changed the face for the first time in a movie-exclusive form, breaking from the TV series approach of keeping the face consistent across forms so global audiences would recognize the character. Yamamoto explained that bubble-like motifs on the body represent the "fleeting dream" of the CODE agents, who unite only briefly. The form also introduces a waist cape, a first for Kamen Rider Zezt. The base color is white, which Yamamoto proposed to convey that the powers of the differently colored agents mix into white light, while turquoise accents maintain Zezt's identity. The design process for the series as a whole pursued a "subtractive" approach, removing accumulated armor details to emphasize the modified-human aesthetic of Kamen Rider. Yanaka noted that placing the transformation belt on the chest, another series first, made bike scenes easier to film from multiple angles.
