This is my review of the SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Caucasus from the Movie God Speed Love. Caucasus is the main honcho of the trio but he doesn't look so scary and the fierceness is seemingly not there. Unless you are afraid of this rider mustache - LOL. Amongst the trio, I remember he is the only movie rider whose name was mentioned. We had no clue on the other two until we read it on online blogs and other toku-related news or even the toy released. I won't detail the box art as I've already covered this on Hercus.
Articulation points are the same with Hercus with the same mold on the left pointy shoulder pad, chest, lower torso and legs. Change the rest of the metallic body apps to mustard yellow and you have Caucasus. I'm not really a fan of the color but that is what Toei presented and therefore needs to be translated to its Figuarts figure. The head sculpt is a likely a Hercus remold for its base then covered a new metallic mask.
He has no weapons to boast but he can put you into slumber with his blue rose - wait, what? I guess he is arrogant that way. Aside from the blue rose are 5 hands (open, holding and another just for the rose). He also includes his own Zecter and Hyper Zecter. The Hyper Zecter is almost the same as Kabuto Hyper form with slight modifications to be uniquely his. I'm not sure why is there a holding hand if he was no weapons included. I would say just for playability sake if you want Caucasus hold anything that is not his.
Even if he is the main villain in the movie, Causcasus doesn't strike excitement to collectors. I would say it reflects on the sales generated by the GSL riders, I'm not surprised. I wonder why he is named after a regional border between Asia and Europe. Google it. :)
