Kamen Rider MICE is the next main series, set to begin airing on September 6, 2026, and Bandai Spirits has already opened S.H.Figuarts preorders ahead of the premiere. A separate line of software, Kamen Rider Mite: Twelve Signs, Ten Colors, continues on TTFC with a new episode starring Rie Shibata on September 27, 2026.
The Kamen Rider franchise is moving on two fronts. A new main series, Kamen Rider MICE, is scheduled to begin airing on Sunday, September 6, 2026. Bandai Spirits announced the S.H.Figuarts figure for the title Rider before the broadcast started, with preorders opening August 27, 2026 and a release set for February 2027. The figure is roughly 150mm tall, made of PVC and ABS, priced at 7,150 yen including tax, and comes with the main body and two types of exchangeable wrist parts for each hand; its sculpt includes the character's ring-shaped design and tail. The early merchandise timing is unusual for a new Rider, but the stories treat it as the first item in what is expected to be a full merchandise line.
Rider merchandise is expanding across multiple figure lines at once. The Kamen Rider Action Figure line has been rebranded as TAF, short for Tokusatsu Action Figure, and launches with Jao, Vanken, and Muton from Kamen Rider Maise. Jao and Vanken release October 3, 2026, and Muton on October 17. Each is about 15 centimeters tall with 38 movable points and meets the Ages 3 and up safety standard. The soft vinyl Rider Hero Series adds Jao and Tigle. A separate Sodo line for the same series, from Bandai Candy, arrives in September 2026 with Maizu, Maou, and Rido, plus a joint in the abdomen for leaning and arching poses, and a second set of Sofubi Package Charm keychains. TAF figures are designed to remain compatible with existing Gavv and Zets releases.
On the streaming side, the TTFC series Kamen Rider Mite: Twelve Signs, Ten Colors continues. Its fourth episode, Obasan to Rido, will stream from the morning of September 27, 2026. Rido is turned into a house cat and lives with a grandmother played by Rie Shibata. Twin acrylic stands of Rido and Kamen Rider Mao as cats are planned. Shibata's last Toei tokusatsu role was in 1993.
