Greetings heroes/citizens, today I’m going to write a review of the latest released of S.I.C, Vol.42 Masked Rider Den-O Sword Form and his Momotaros Imagin. About Den-O , it’s not the best Masked Rider franchise, but it’s also not the worst that was ever made,I watched it for several episodes but after that I don’t know why I stop buying the DVD. If you want to know more about Den-O follow this link. All I know about Den-O are, he travel on a time traveling train (Den-Liner), in a timeless realm to defeat monsters (Imagin) and restore the histories that was altered by the Imagins. Back to these action figures,I got it couple of day ago, but it was released early this month. Retail price for this action figures is about $5+.++. It’s a 2 pieces action figures box set, Bandai like to make this kind of set nowadays.

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.
