Toy Review: S.I.C. Hero Saga Kamen Rider Amazon + Jungler

Another ambitious attempt to go the SIC way. Welcome to my review of the S.I.C Hero Saga Kamen Rider Amazon and his bike, Jungler. Ambitious in a way that I clearly jumped on the SIC big toys without thinking. Impulsive I guess is the right word. I don't hate Amazon in general but I haven't found an Amazon figure that I liked. True. When I bought SHF Amazon a couple reviews ago, I believe I was clear that I didn't like it. Joints were messy, action poses are not refined - a missed opportunity.

Am I trying to find the best and the most articulatively (no such word) correct Kamen Rider of the jungle? Is my ambitious search doomed to fail? It is like looking for a delicacy that I actually liked. Lets see if the SIC Hero Saga Amazon and Jungler will fit in the fave toys of all time. Hade ni Ikuze! (Wrong attribution I know).

Toy Review: SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon

Welcome to my review of the SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon. The show didn't last as long as most of the rider with only 24 episodes under his belt. In later years, Amazon returns with the first 7  Showa Riders in specials and during the Hsieh era in Kamen Rider Decade and some what I call "KR reunion movies" (i.e. Den-O spring movies).

As mentioned on my previous SHF KR reviews, Bandai has created a box design similar to the rider's features. For example are reptilian/amphibian (most of us don't know what Amazon represents - a bug, a reptile or a amphibian) accents that trends on the box.You'll see more of this  theme on future Showa SHF Riders.
