Well, I have with me right now, a figuarts of Masked Rider 1!! As you can see from the title, this figure is based on the character from the movie 'The First'. Quite different from the original Rider 1 outfit, but magnificient nevertheless.
PACKAGING
As we can see from the picture above, it's the usual SHF box. Standard silver box with plastic window, showing the content inside. Nothing to shout about but adequate and functional nonetheless.
1. The figure
2. 3 extra pairs of palms/fists.
3. 2 sets scarves; 1 in relaxed position, another in 'flowing' position.
DESIGN/SCULPT
Paintjob is no small matter to us collectors, and fortunately, Bandai did not disappoint in that department. Paint application is crisp, no visible overflowing color around the edges and as far as I can tell, the colors are evenly applied.
Articulation is the SHF's standard fare: EXCELLENT! All the joints are tight yet movable so that you can pose this figure in almost any style you want. Also, the feet are diecast, which means it can stand on one leg unassisted. Go ahead...I know you want to do the 'RAIDA KICKU'...lol
OVERALL
Well, this is one great figure and if not for the lack of accesories, I would have given it higher than 3.5/5 score.
But, if you put this figure on the SHF Cyclone bike (sold separately), the effect is simply: AWESOMENESSS!!!!!
