Now THIS was totally out of left field for me....who saw this coming? O_O

...and does this mean a 12-inch Ouja (Strike) figure will be on the way?

Pretty much, yeah.

The mail-in exclusive with Knight (sorry, Wing Knight) is Ra... Sting. So it wouldn't surprise me if they're going to try for everybody, or at least the big ones. Strike and Torque...Torc...To....American-Zolda are pretty much guaranteed, I'd say.

It blows my mind how much they're pushing Dragon Knight. One day it's just "We're gonna put RAH Ryuki and Ryuga out there between Agito and Faiz" and suddenly it's "LEZRIDE!"

Edit: Actually wait, they've changed it. The mail-in with Wing Knight is now apparently Strike. I dunno what happened to Sting, unless I just had them mixed up (I can never keep the American names straight.) Axe's mail-in will be... whatever Zolda was again.

Everytime someone on this community says "LEZRIDE!", I keep thinking "LEZ RIDE!"

Torque is gonna be the exclusive with Strike, acording to the Negee Khoing blog.

On Medicom's official site, they're saying

regularly released Dragon Knight -> has exclusive ticket for Onyx

regularly released Wing Knight -> has exclusive ticket for Strike

regularly released Axe -> has exclusive ticket for Torque.

I think it would make more sense to have Strike or Torque a regular release but... oh well. I guess it's like making Heat-Metal an exclusive, but not Luna-Trigger.

Frankly, I'm a little surprised they didn't release Meidcoms of Kit or Len yet.

I guess there's more red tape involved, since they need to use the likeliness of the actor.

- Yeah, Strike (Ouja) as a regular release was what I expected...

...unless is RAH/Medicom is playing the Bandai game of "This way we force the fans to buy two figures when all they want is one..."

Oh, and someone on another forum posted this scan of the Ouja figure. DAMMIT

...I guess I should just console myself with the hope that a Figuarts Ouja (or a Figma Strike) may eventually be out. Had it not been for Figuarts coming out when they did, I'd have gone broke long ago trying to get all the RAH/Medicom/ProjectBM 12' Rider figures...

Torque...Torc...To....American-Zolda

You had it right the first time.

Can someone place the American Names beside the Japanese Names in a list, please?
