A Long-Awaited Dream Come True: S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Ghost Mugen Damashii Officially Announced

BANDAI SPIRITS has officially announced the upcoming release of “S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Ghost Mugen Damashii,” bringing the ultimate final form of the protagonist from the tokusatsu drama Kamen Rider Ghost into physical figure form. The announcement of this long-coveted collectible has sparked an outpouring of joy and widespread excitement among tokusatsu fans and figure collectors across social media.

Pre-orders for the figure will launch on the official Bandai online storefront, Tamashii Web Shop, on October 23 at 5:00 PM (JST). The figure faithfully captures the character’s radiant, shimmering appearance using glitter-infused molding and extensive translucent parts. A prototype is already on display at “TAMASHII NATIONS STORE TOKYO” in Akihabara, quickly turning heads with its stunningly accurate craftsmanship.

While Mugen Damashii remains one of the most beloved forms in the series, its intricate armor geometry and heavy reliance on clear materials had long made creating a fully articulated action figure a daunting technical challenge. Recognizing the breakthrough, ecstatic fans flooded social media with comments such as “The wait was truly long, but it’s finally here!” and “Now all the Heisei Rider final forms can finally stand side by side!”

Given the passionate nature of the collector community, the announcement has also drawn careful scrutiny. Enthusiasts have engaged in lively debates over specific details, including the inclusion of dedicated hand parts for the character’s iconic hand-seal poses, the assortment of weapon variations, and potential limits on range of motion caused by the clear armor pieces. In addition, because pre-orders for several other high-demand items will open at the exact same time, many fans are fretting over their budgets and the inevitable scramble to secure orders before stock sells out.

Despite the intense discussions, the commercialization of this figure represents the fulfillment of a long-standing wish for countless collectors. Arriving just ahead of the show’s 10th anniversary, this definitive release has ignited tremendous anticipation for what the product line will tackle next.

The Context: Kamen Rider Ghost and the S.H.Figuarts Line

Kamen Rider Ghost aired from 2015 to 2016 as part of Toei’s iconic Kamen Rider franchise, a cornerstone of Japanese live-action superhero television known as “tokusatsu.” In modern iterations of the franchise, protagonists undergo multiple power upgrades throughout the year, culminating in a “Final Form”—the hero’s ultimate, most powerful transformation used during the climax of the series. Mugen Damashii is Ghost’s final form, celebrated for its ethereal, iridescent aesthetic made of shimmering white and transparent crystal-like armor.

Bandai Spirits’ S.H.Figuarts brand is a premier line of high-end, palm-sized action figures aimed at adult collectors, renowned for blending precise screen accuracy with dynamic posability. However, Mugen Damashii’s complex visual effects and translucent layered plates proved exceptionally difficult to engineer without compromising articulation or visual fidelity. As a result, it remained one of the very few missing final forms among the 20 “Heisei-era” Kamen Riders, making this release a monumental milestone for franchise enthusiasts worldwide.
