Kamen Rider No.2 (Kamen Rider: The First)

Hi there heroes, as I said before here is the figure I promised to review. The Medicom RAH Kamen Rider No.2 from Kamen Rider The First, movie.I got this from a Hong Kong ebay seller for USD140 including shipping that is about RM490 (what a luck!). Okay, this figure was realesed on 2006 (if I’m not mistaken), but I got this early this year (a bit too late, for a Kamen Rider fan T_T ).
Packaging; for most of new generation of Medicom RAH, they usually came in a box with a window and the window is covered by a flap with velcro.The design of the box is clean and simple with flat finish. Inside the box, there is a plastic tray with plastic cover.Also, an instruction leaflet came in the box along with some kind of form. Just like all the other RAH figure, no twisties (hooray!!)are used to hold the figure.
Design of the figure; this figure in my own opinion, is 99% movie acccurates.The costume was made from some kind of leather or maybe a very soft PVC material. I like with what Medicom have done with the head sculpt. As I said before, Medicom are well known for their great works on sculpting head with masked or helmet. The costume was sewn perfectly (my opinion).
Articlations; as same as all new generation of RAH, the figure have an excelent articularions, but the great articulations movements was limited by the the real cloth material used for the costume (I should know there is no perfect toys ) as the costume will pull back the joints when I try to pose it, especially at the torso joints. So that is why, the photos I taken shown the same poses . Other than that the figure is great.
Accessories; there are not much accessories given, just another four extra gloves,two gripped fist and two flaten fingers and a clear plastic stand for the figure.The figure itself is allready steady to stand, but I recomend you to use the stand if you are planning to keep your figure standing for a long time.
Colorings; there are not much colorings on this figure. They only used paints on the gloves, helmet(head), boots and some touch up on the costume (Shocker logo and wings on the back). Overall the paints job are at the highest standard( at least my standart).
So, is this figure worth to pay for? Yes, even if you are not a kamen Rider fans.

RAH X3 Wolverine.

Hi there heroes, today I got some time to play with my old collection. It is 1:6(12inch) Medicom Real Action Hero(RAH) X3 Wolverine. Let’s see how the figure earned it’s way in my collections. This figure was bought early this year. Won it from a HK ebay seller for USD70(thank god I was lucky!) +USD20 shipping. Retail price for this figure locally is about RM6++, that is about USD1++. This figure was one of the character in the X3: The Last Stand played by Hugh Jackman ( like you don’t know ) . I wont tell you about the story. Click here if you still don’t know the stories :). Medicom Toys ( a Japanese base co.)is well known for its RAH figures lines besides the Kubrick and Bearbrick.

Let’s talk about the packaging first, the box have a very clean and simple looks. The box design is (if I’m not mistaken) similarly looks like the danger room or maybe cerrebro wall. It got a window covered by a thick paper cover, like a hardbook cover. Inside it have a plastic tray covered by a plastic cover lid. Not a single twisties holding the figure in the plastic container(thanks medicom).

Move on to the figure, Wolverine’s costume(jacket and pants) was made from some sort of leather like cloth(or maybe a real leather???), it has a soft texture and looks very suitable with a 1:6 figure(because the wrinkles and folds looks so real). The tailoring for his leather jacket is superb! The jacket looks like the real costume in the movie, for me it 99.99% movie accurate, but some thing got to be saccrificed when you want to have a good looking costume. It even have the goldish yellow line sewn to the costume not just printed on to it , but some thing got to be saccrificed when you want to have a good looking costume. the stitches looks stretchy if you over pose the figure

The body used is probably just medicom naked kai, please correct me if i’m wrong . The articulation is great but I am a bit worried to over pose the figure cause I’m affraid I might tore the stitches. The head sculpt , well, Medicom is known for not to have the greatest head scuplt (for me he looks like a Chinese )on it’s RAH. They (Medicom) for me , is great for the head sculpt that have helmet or mask. For colorings, it’s not much in this figure, the only colored parts are the head sculpt, fists and the boots. I’m a bit dissaponted with the colorings on his face, Wolverine’s mousetache and beard looks like he got some dirts (or maybe hot chocolate???) smudges on to his face . They can do a better in my oppinion.

Accessories, like other RAH lines, they don’t have much.Well, with Wolverine what else do you want, he is the weapon. The figure came with a clear plastic stand and couple of extra fists.

I recomended you to get this figure even if you not a Medicom RAH fans. The figure have a high quality craftsmenship and surely will become rare due to is limited productions.
