It's time to open your eyes for the next Faiz. Next Faiz I'm talking about is Axel form. Sounds familiar to today's Accel,well that's how it is nowadays in the Kamen Rider world - repeat, rebrand, repackage.
It may come to a surprise today that the whole SIC Kiwami Tamashii Faiz forms are a bit pricey due to its popularity on this specific toy line. I can't blame them because of the pleasing aesthetics that surround Faiz. Axel joins this foray of good looking SIC KTs.
Even though SIC KTs should have the same battle-damaged look like its regular counterparts, Axel is a very decent figure and much alike with what you see on the show. Unless you see another Faiz Axel review, this is a great buy. I'm glad I bought him for a bargain, all thanks to my secret supplier.
Just to give a little background, Faiz in this form gains some sort of bullet time speed, yeah just like Kabuto and Kamen Rider Accel but with a limit - 9.9 seconds. It is just 0.2 seconds longer than Accel.
SIC Kiwami Axel continues to have two open hands and the holding hands are the default hands. The holding hands are suitable for riding Auto Vaijin which makes it a perfect match if you have the bike - I have :). Downside would be holding the blade, it feels loose. Other accessories include the Faiz pointer, Faiz shot and a Smart Brain briefcase. The brief case opens up and to my amazement, you can place all those accessories in and close the lid without difficulty. I just hoped the case had a hinge and a holder so Faiz can carry it, unfortunately it does not have any of those. Still a cool plus nonetheless. Placing the other thingamajigs is not a problem.
Faiz Axel chest piece is on its shoulders, its fixed and somewhat unbalanced especially if you are too particular about it. Minor nitpick I suppose. Articulation wise, the chest piece is does not hinder it shoulders and the whole arm movement. For what it is worth, this is really a handsome figure carefully crafted in a small package. I've read in most reviews that the legs are loose, gladly I never had that same QC mishap.
From packaging to the actual figure, this is a top tier toy that's why it is so popular and rare nowadays. If you still can get Axel Faiz for a bargain, then you have something special on your hands. I think I mentioned this statement above...well, that's how awesome Faiz is to me.
