Toy Review: SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Ketaros

I've finally finished reviewing the God Speed Love movie riders with SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Ketaros. Ketaros is in my opinion the most appealing from the three. Even if the base of the head is like Hercus and Caucasus, there is something unique on its posture which I couldn't pinpoint where.

I guess that  these riders are plain okay to play with. There are no hindrances on articulation point and show no stigma from the first released figures in the SHF Kabuto line, meaning bow legs. Since the joints again are the same with Caucasus and Hercus, I won't dwell on this too much. So as the box art.

Armed with a Kunai Knife, he must have been a skilled close-combat fighter. Also included are 2 pairs for holding and relaxed hands and his own Zecter (Centaurus beetle), for his slot found on the right arm. It is pretty evident that riders with a Zect logo embossed on the belt would have their Zecters on the arm (called a Rider Brace) with the exception of course of the depressed Hopper Brothers and Drake. In terms of paint apps, bronze is the main theme.

I believe what attracted me to Ketaros is how the horns on his head are shaped. Near the mouth piece there are vent looking accents which are not found in both Hercus and Caucasus. The compound eyes are green unlike Hercus who has red and Caucasus which are blue/teal. Just like the other two, Ketaros doesn't appeal as much as the next generation of SHFs.

For some reason, all of the SHF God Speed Love riders are easily missed. Maybe because of their lack of aesthetic appeal or collector would like to reserve their money for the main riders. With this, their price tag have been devalued over the years. therefore these guys are abundant on online toy shops or ebay. So if you have the spare change to get all three do so while they are still cheap to acquire.
