Fans of different ages could be seen waiting patiently for their turn to take photos, some wearing Rider-themed T-shirts, cosplaying as the protagonist, or carrying collectible belts. The crowd cheered as Kamen Rider ZZZ made his appearance, greeting fans with his signature poses.

The hero’s appearance was held twice daily — from 1 to 2 p.m. and 4 to 5 p.m. on Oct. 19 and 20 — drawing enthusiastic fans eager to capture photos with the iconic character. The appearance added excitement to the otherwise calm shopping area, attracting passersby who were curious about the masked hero and his loyal fans.

Although Kamen Rider has long been familiar to Malaysian fans, this pop-up marks the franchise’s first official collaboration store in the country, offering a range of Bandai’s toy lines and exclusive collectibles imported directly from Japan’s Kamen Rider Store. In addition to regular retail Kamen Rider toys, the pop-up also features Japan-exclusive items previously only sold at the original store, including acrylic stands, blankets, file folders, and character badges. These unique goods drew collectors and long-time fans eager to obtain limited merchandise.

The store’s layout mirrors the aesthetic of its Japanese counterpart, decorated with Kamen Rider visuals and life-size displays that highlight key heroes from different eras. Even for casual visitors, the bright colors and nostalgic atmosphere evoke a sense of Japan’s rich hero culture.
