POWER KNUCKLE x Kamen Rider Vol.2 Brings Four Riders to Capsule Toys
Bandai’s POWER KNUCKLE byTOUMA x KAMEN RIDER Vol.2 ships in the second week of August 2026, and the capsule lineup adds Kamen Rider 2, Kamen Rider Kabuto, Kamen Rider Den-O, and Kamen Rider OOO to TOUMA’s fist-styled designer figure series. Each figure stands about 11 centimeters tall with clear parts, metallic coloring, and rotating shoulder and arm gimmicks, priced at 1,000 yen per play. For capsule collectors and Rider fans, it is the strongest designer-toy crossover of the month.
A Second Wave for a Fast-Growing Collab
Vol.2 is a quick follow-up to the January 2026 first wave, which tells you how well the concept landed. TOUMA’s signature is a fist-centric art style that turns character heads and silhouettes into knuckle forms, and the Kamen Rider license is a natural fit because the franchise’s helmet designs are among the most recognizable in tokusatsu history.
The new four-Rider lineup covers two eras and three show generations: Kamen Rider 2 from the 1971 original series, Kabuto from the 2006 era, Den-O from 2007, and OOO from 2010. Mixing the classics with the modern Heisei-era Riders is what keeps the line appealing across fan generations, and it is the reason the second wave has momentum before the first machines even open.
Design and Gimmicks: Clear Parts and Moving Arms
The figures lean into a POP & COOL finish, with clear parts adding a translucent layer over the metallic paint. Each Rider keeps its recognizable chest details and helmet cues, condensed into the compact 11cm knuckle format without losing the silhouette. The rotating shoulders and arms are the selling point, giving the capsule figures poseable character that standard gashapon rarely offer at this scale.
At 1,000 yen per play, the price sits in the premium gashapon range, above typical 300-500 yen capsule lines but below figure-rise kits. For collectors, the value calculation is about the design: a limited-time capsule run that will not be restocked, with figures that do not exist in other formats.
Why Capsule Crossovers Matter for Collectors
Capsule toy collaborations matter because they are the lowest-risk entry into a character universe. At one play, a collector can hold a designer-styled Rider in hand and decide whether to chase the full set, and the format brings licensed characters to a wider audience than premium figure releases ever could.
The pattern is familiar across the industry: tight-window capsule runs, character-driven design, and regional availability create the same scarcity dynamics as limited drops elsewhere. Brands including BaiChaoHui follow the same playbook with collectible series that release in defined waves, and the lesson is consistent, in capsule toys as in any limited format, the collectors who act at launch get the best prices and the cleanest sets.
