Two brand new Kamen Rider figures, on display exclusively at the Tamashii Nation 2024 event, have been revealed. Introducing SHF Kamen Rider Faiz and Kamen Rider Geats!
Bandai made the announcement of new S.H. Figuarts on August 8th, ahead of their summer showcase in Akihabara, Japan. The two new releases are based on forms Faiz and Geats henshin into in their respective shows, that being the ferocious Geats Boost Form Mark III and the lightning fast Faiz Axel Form.
Each come with their own unique accessories, boasting a wide range of articulation to boot, so let’s go over each S.H. Figuarts release in this article!
Kamen Rider Faiz Axel Form
Coated in metallic silver and luminous red, this monochromatic figure stands at around 145mm, made from PVC and ABS materials. Axel Form boasts the striking and intricate details of the central chest piece, the product overall capturing tiny complex details of machinery and wiring throughout the original suit.
Attached at the waist comes a mini version of the SP-555SB Faiz Driver, the Faiz Pointer also attached at the hip of the belt, as well as a tiny Faiz Axel wristwatch on the left arm. The figure comes with interchangeable hands, five for the left and seven for the right; twelve in total.
Faiz Axel comes armed to the teeth. His accessories include the Faiz Edge sword and the wrist mounted Faiz Shot. S.H. Figuarts has certainly nailed the highly detailed and sleek look of Axel!
Kamen Rider Geats Boost Form Mk. III
Next, Faiz’ 20th successor revs into the S.H. Figuarts releases, at a modest 150mm of PVC and ABS material. His chest piece and shoulder pad moulds are lined with vibrant streaks of red, contrasted against the pure white the Boost form is painted in.
Alongside the beautifully sculpted Desire Drive at the waist, the Boost Form Mk. III Buckle is additionally included, slotted into the right side of the tiny henshin belt. Different pairs of posed hands are also present, with a total of five pairs of hands.
While no weapon accessories are included, the figure does come with a surprise addition of the tiny stone statue of the nine tailed fox seen in the finale of Kamen Rider Geats.
S.H. Figuarts also made a photo recreation using the figure, in homage to the moment Geats first achieved the transformation, and was surrounded by blazing flames. The glow to the eyes they added is the cherry on top of this white and red kitsune cake.
Keeping You Waiting?
S.H. Figuarts are sometimes known for their long wait time before release, with products such as the Kamen Rider Fire Gotchard or Kamen Rider Dread Type Zero not releasing until next year.

Luckily, this is not the case with Geats Boost Form Mk. III and Faiz Axel, as both release simultaneously in November 2024! Kamen Rider Faiz Axel form priced at 9900 yen, and Kamen Rider Geats Boost Form Mk. III at 8250 yen.
These two powerful transformations continue the trend of high quality S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider releases, so keep an eye peeled for when they both eventually release!
