Toy Review: S.H. Figuarts Skullboilder 2.0

If Bandai made an upgraded version of Kamen Rider Skull, might as well get a makeover of his bike the Skullboilder in S.H. Figuarts. It doesn’t say that this is for the Shinkocchou Seihou line but from the initial look, it is meant to fit well with the new Kamen Rider Skull. The paint applications have been changed to a more matte finish. Rubber tires work just nicely and so as the spring swing arm at the rear wheels. The track forks do move with the handlebars left and right. The gauge has more detail and overall refined which is a better touch than the EX version. Similarly with the EX version this set only has 1 rear tire support if you do not need the kickstand.


It is more like an “A-ha” and Ah-yes moment once you compare the actual bike versus this scale model version. The silver parts that used to be on the EX version have disappeared but with a good reason to be the best and most accurate version of Skullboilder in 1:12 scale. The curves and the lines are better and compliments well with Skull Shinkocchou version. If you still haven’t gotten the old EX Skullboilder, now is the time to pick up one while stocks last or the price jacks up in online trading stores.
