#card warrior kamen rider

Bit of an interesting topic here… Has anyone heard of Card Warrior Kamen Riderbefore?

From what I’ve been able to find, it was a Bandai toyline and manga from 2009 that introduced these neat little exclusive forms for a bunch of Riders. A lot of them, most notably the early waves, seem to be a Rider combined with a thematically appropriate robot creature. For example, Ichigo with a grasshopper, or Knight with a bat.

The figures themselves seem to be little chibi-esque dudes, and each comes with a card of the animal/insect robot they combine with.

I wasn’t able to find pics of every figure released, since the line is so obscure, but here are some I did find of the boxes. There was also a Hibiki and a couple others but I didn’t realize tumblr had an image limit.
