66 Action Kamen Riders Box 4

Another box finally arrived with some really cool offerings this time! Seems like Bandai decided to drop the secret entries as well, which i don't mind. Anyway, onwards with the pictures!

Bandai SHF Kamen Rider Bravo

I finally gave the new Kamen Rider Gaim a chance and I LOVED IT! The concept of using fruits to transform sounds so silly but the show was executed pretty well, and the characters so memorable. Among all the characters though, 1 stood above all the rest, the ever flamboyant ex military pattissier, Oren Pierre Alfonzo aka Kamen Rider Bravo!

Oren transforms with the durian lockseed so his design is based on the spartan and durian. With spikes EVERYWHERE(i do love a toy that can draw blood when you fiddle with them) and a cool mohawk, he's looks so unique. Add to that the colour scheme of metallic dark green, light green, purple and silver, he stands out on the shelf.

Instead of compound eyes like all the typical Kamen Rider, Bravo here has lines.

He doesn't come with much, but it's pretty much all you need anyway. Extra hands, tiny tiny durian lockseed (i'll probably loose it if i'm not careful), his twin swords, Duri Noko and a wine glass... which is pretty cool touch by Bandai. He had them in 2 episodes if i remember correctly. I would love it if he came with cakes though, that'll be perfect.

Check out the tiny lockseed's details! Even the tiny belt has articulation but it's so tiny, you have to practice some restraint changing them.

Salut

By the way, i love love love the new SHF hips. Those pull down hips were pretty articulated but they were so fragile. These on the other hands, achieve both fantastic articulation and are pretty solid. The articulation overall is pretty great but that's as expected of a SHF.

 He's really great! I'm loving him so much that i'll probably get another Gaim Kamen Rider to display with him. Too bad he's an exclusive so be prepare to pay abit more for him. But other than the price, i really can't recommend him enough. Now i'm gotta decide who should i get next... shall it be Gridon? Zangetsu? Or maybe i should get Gaim???

Anyway, thanks for viewing!

66 Action Kamen Riders Box 3

So 66 Action box 3 is finally here and i'm pretty happy, mainly because it has my fave villain rider of the franchise. Though it seems like Bandai is trying to cash in on Kamen Rider Gaim's popularity while they still can and inserted 2 riders from the series in box 3, not that i mind though, since they're pretty nice. Anyway, let's take a look!

First up, Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms! Like Kamen Rider Gaim before him, he's inspired by the samurai armor. He comes with 4 extra arms like all previous releases and DJ Gun Taiken mode. Kiwami is suppose to have a cape though, no idea why they didn't include one.

Orange Arms Gaim still look better than Kiwami though. He's probably the weakest entry of this box.

Next up is another kamen rider from the Gaim series, Kamen Rider Zangetsu Shin. This time, instead of a shield and sword, he comes with a bow and the standard fare of 4 hands.

Unlike Kiwami, Zangetsu Shin looks better than his standard form.

Fourze! Finally, another rider from a different series!

He has the least accessories though, just the standard 4 extra hand. If they included a rocket arm it would have been fantastic but alas...

Finally, my fave kamen rider this box around, Kamen Rider Eternal from the W series.

I got lucky and picked the secret box which was Eternal with his cape. Though i've seen that the normal box is basically just a capeless Eternal... that's not how you do secret boxes Bandai! Anyway, Eternal here has his little bandolier sculpted on and they are really detailed. I gave mine some paint apps to bring out the details which is just fantastic for something so small.

The cape is pretty great, it can fit almost any rider with a normal head.

For RM15 ( 5 USD ) each, this guys are really great! A perfect way to collect riders without breaking your wallet, really hope Bandai continues this line. I'm hoping for Amazon and more Showa riders next... maybe even a Skull...

Anyway, thanks for viewing!
