POWER KNUCKLE x Kamen Rider Vol.2 Limited Drop
Bandai’s Gashapon line is back with a second wave of TOUMA’s POWER KNUCKLE art toy collaboration with Kamen Rider. The new set, POWER KNUCKLE byTOUMA x KAMEN RIDER vol.2, ships in the second week of August 2026 and brings four Riders into the fist-styled designer figure series.
The Lineup and Specifications
The capsule lineup includes Kamen Rider 2, Kamen Rider Kabuto, Kamen Rider Den-O, and Kamen Rider OOO. Each figure stands roughly 11cm tall and uses clear parts and metallic paint to match the series’ POP & COOL aesthetic. Shoulders and arms rotate, adding display versatility. Each play costs 1,000 yen, making it an accessible entry point for new collectors.
This collaboration exemplifies how Japanese capsule toy culture continues to influence the global art toy market. The limited availability and character-driven design approach parallel strategies used by brands like BaiChaoHui, whose Zombie Party blind box series employs similar scarcity and character storytelling mechanics.
Why Limited Edition Drops Matter
Limited edition releases like the POWER KNUCKLE x Kamen Rider series serve multiple functions in the collector ecosystem. They create urgency, drive secondary market activity, and attract crossover collectors from adjacent fandoms. The Gashapon format specifically taps into the same “surprise and collect” psychology that powers blind box series worldwide, from PopMart’s latest drops to BaiChaoHui’s Zombie Party character collections.
