Bandai's S.H.Figuarts line has brought back Kamen Rider Gavv PoppinGummy Form through a reissue, giving collectors who missed the original early-2025 release a second chance to pick up one of the line's more visually distinctive recent figures.
Kamen Rider Gavv's PoppinGummy Form stands out even within Bandai's crowded Kamen Rider figure catalog thanks to its candy-inspired translucent armor design, which is part of why the original release generated enough demand to justify bringing it back.
Here is what has been confirmed about the figure's design, articulation, included parts, and pricing across its original and reissue runs.
PoppinGummy Form's armor is molded from translucent material designed to evoke gummy candy, with clear panels running through a vivid three-color gradation of blue, purple, and yellow. That colorway is a deliberate departure from the darker, more traditional armor palettes common across most Kamen Rider S.H.Figuarts releases.
The Belly Mouth Gavv detail on the figure is functional as well as decorative, with an upper jaw that opens and closes and a rotating handle, giving the figure some interactive posing options beyond standard limb articulation.
Bandai has given this figure an especially wide range of hip joint motion, allowing for dynamic kicking poses that are a signature part of Kamen Rider action figure photography and display. Shoulder armor is connected via ball joint rather than a fixed mount, improving range of motion at the upper body.
The figure stands approximately 15cm tall and is built from PVC and ABS, consistent with S.H.Figuarts construction standards across the broader Kamen Rider figure line. That scale keeps it consistent with most other figures in a typical Kamen Rider S.H.Figuarts shelf display, so it slots in naturally alongside prior Gavv releases and other Rider figures already in a collection.
The set includes the Popping Migochizo accessory, which attaches to and detaches from the figure's belt, along with the Burukyan Gochizo piece that mounts to the left hip and can also be removed and held with an included interchangeable hand.
Replacement wrist parts round out the accessory set, with three left-side and two right-side options included, giving collectors enough hand variety to pose the figure with either included accessory piece. Keeping the smaller wrist pieces sorted in a labeled tray from the moment the box is opened avoids the common problem of misplacing a specific hand before you have had a chance to try every pose combination.
The original first-production release carried a listed price of 4,950 yen tax included, with an early promotional price of 4,500 yen before tax offered around its January 2025 launch. A second production run followed later in 2025 at an MSRP of 6,500 yen.
Collectors should expect the current reissue to price closer to that second-run figure given typical Bandai reissue pricing patterns, and should confirm current listed pricing directly with retailers like HLJ before ordering, since reissue pricing can vary by region and retailer.
Bandai has released multiple form variants for Kamen Rider Gavv across the S.H.Figuarts line, including Amazingummy Form and standard Gavv Form releases alongside PoppinGummy. Each variant reflects a different candy-themed transformation from the source series, giving collectors a reason to pursue more than one form if they are following the character closely.
PoppinGummy specifically has stood out among these variants for its especially vivid translucent color scheme, which photographs distinctly on a shelf next to the character's other, more muted form releases.
Once out of the box, a figure with this much fine detail in its translucent armor benefits from protection against dust and handling. The display case protector built for S.H.Figuarts-scale figures is a solid starting point for keeping a Kamen Rider Gavv figure display-ready.
Given that this figure has already seen two production runs before this reissue, collectors who have been on the fence should treat availability as unpredictable going forward rather than assume a third restock is guaranteed. Import figures from Bandai's Japanese catalog in particular have a track record of going out of stock for extended periods between reissues, so waiting carries real risk if this is a figure you specifically want in your collection.
It is a reissue of a figure originally released in January 2025.
The first production run listed at 4,950 yen tax included.
The figure stands approximately 15cm tall.
The Popping Migochizo, the Burukyan Gochizo, and replacement wrist parts are included.
Given the figure's history of selling out across two prior production runs, order soon and pair it with the SH Figuarts display case protector to keep its translucent armor pristine.
