Toy Review: S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider 2 Shinkocchou Seihou

Out of the box, unlike Kamen Rider 1, you need to attach one of the scarf joints on to the neck ball joint to complete Kamen Rider Nigou’s look and feel. The figure has some similarities to Kamen Rider 1, but aside from the color change to red, there are creases and folds on the body not found between the figures. The set includes and additional scarf joint, a pair of antenna spares, 8 hands and a clasped version where you are able to shake hands between Kamen Rider 1 and Kamen Rider 2.

Even the mold of the scarf and hands are not the same with Kamen Rider 1. Unlike the first release, the body type remains the same but the small details of Kamen Rider 2 differentiate itself from his sempai. It is a complete replicate? Again, it depends on your perspective. In my opinion, it was an assurance from Bandai that the Shinkocchou Seihou line is a step up from the current S.H. Figuarts line up where details are very important when bringing these products to the tokusatsu fan base.
