You may not remember the last time a reviewed a figure in this collection. Last December I reviewed the Shin Kamen Rider Figure
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHr_y6RU7A4 Well, there are five figures in this collection, I have three of them. Today i'm reviewing Kamen Rider Black!
Kamen Rider Black is probably my all-time favorite Kamen Rider (I just drew the ire of fans of 70s and 00s Rider shows in one sentence!) series. Earlier this year I even sat through (the HORRIBLE) Kamen Rider Decade to see Kotaro fights once again!
When I first saw these large Vinyl figures for sale, I was truly disappointed that, once again, Black was skipped over in favor of Black RX. Little did I know, Black was actually a figure in this set, but was the least common of the five (the others were Ichigo, V3, Black RX, and Shinkamenrider.) When I saw this figure up for grabs, I snapped it up immediately for a whopping $11.
The excitement continued when I actually got the figure. The fixed poses of these figures in this line really only give the figures one decent pose. Here, there's actually two solid poses. It really does look great either way. The sculpt detail is excellent, but the painting leaves a bit to be desired. For starters, the Henshin Belt is very bland...but that seems to be a recurring problem with this line of figures. The chest and other black parts are waaaay too shiny as well. Other than this...excellent figure!
So it may not be the most articulate figure, but i've always favored style to articulation (Figuarts blows!) This figure has style all the way.
