Japan's Bandai, through its "BANDAI FASHION COLLECTION (Bancolle!)" line, known for character-themed apparel and lifestyle goods, recently unveiled a hoodie inspired by the iconic villains from "Kamen Rider" – the Shocker Combatmen! Now you can instantly join the ranks of Shocker. Priced at 8,800 JPY, it's currently available for pre-order on Bandai's Premium Bandai website in Japan.
The evil organization Shocker, canonically remnants of the Nazis, aims to conquer the world by kidnapping ordinary citizens and turning them into modified soldiers. Shocker Combatmen are the most frequently appearing antagonists in "Kamen Rider," and their signature "Eeeek!!!" (Yee!) battle cry is definitely unforgettable for fans.
This hoodie is designed with the Shocker Combatman in mind. Just zip it all the way up to the top of the hood, and the entire hood transforms into a Shocker Combatman's face – talk about playful!
However, the official announcement does include a special heads-up: the Shocker face on the hood is just a printed design, and you can't actually zip it up completely to cover your entire face. Looks like Bandai isn't quite ready for you to run around yelling "Eeeek!!!" in public just yet, LOL.
