Welcome to the last preview and review for the R/D Kamen Riders and we will end with time traveling Den-O. I'll try to make this short and sweet. As the first R/D Kamen Rider to be released, Den-o has more noticeable weak points such as the legs that wobble to much. The Dengasher's blade is really thin and as heat took over, it warped during the transit. Even the shoulder accent is uneven too.
Again, taking a cue from many previous Den-O releases that worked, he has a set of compound eyes with a translucent plastic on top and silver bug-eyed silver panel beneath it. .
R/D Den-o, aside from having a Dengasher, also has two pairs of holding hands. Some would wish for fists so I do variations with Den-O. It is either those or a thumbs up hand to be more accurate in doing Momotaro's Ore Sanjou stance.Well, there is but not as obvious as SHF Den-o Climax Form.Holding the Dengasher sword entails sort of splicing the fingers open to let it hold. Since they are made in soft vinyl, this is possible but be careful not to chip the paint off.
I took a second look on the default hand and it looks like it was copied from S.H. Figuarts for some reason. Or it is just my imagination.
Manufacturing Den-o with out the separate Dengasher pieces was a wise decision since it might hinder in the leg articulation bit. R/D Den-o is a nice figure to have, with good sculpting and very detailed paint applications. But I feel there is something in this set and should be there but I can't pinpoint what it is. I guess that's there to it. It is sort of a love and hate relationship I'm having with R/D Den-O. Banpresto can be forgiven this time since the following releases were awesome. Let's just wait for April if there are additional improvements.
