Toy Review: S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Den-O Ax Form

 

The S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Den-O Ax Form is another Tamashii Web Exclusive following though Sword Form’s base design. Ax Form’s design involves a huge blade in front of his DenKamen mask resembling the kanji for gold.  Its chest is taken from Den-O Sword Form but flipped around then changing the shoulder details and thigh colors to yellow.

There are 9 hand replacements that are carried over from the recent Den-O releases plus the holstered Dengasher pieces. This set will not be complete without Den-O Rider Pass and the perfect looking Dengasher Ax. The main highlight of this latest Den-O offering is the huge effects that you can either use separately or combine them together for a bigger impact for the figure. Unfortunately, this didn’t come with a stage to recreate that Dynamic Chop finisher. 

The S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Den-O Ax Form is in short, consistent with the latest Den-O releases. Ax Form has all the pieces needed to complete the experience plus a very nicely crafted effect parts. One of the small thoughts I have are the waist and upper torso articulation having limitations. I really want to extend the limits of the figure since this is the key selling point of S.H. Figuarts. The rest of the execution, for me is spot on.  More to this from the video review below.
