Toy Review: Super RHF Side Basshar and Kamen Rider Kaixa

I love my RC Jet Sriger. It is massive, it moves and my SHF Faiz fits, though it sinks on the cockpit. What would match my Sriger is another bike I recently acquired, the Super RHF Side Basshar, this set include Kamen Rider Kaixa.

Let me start first with RHF Kaixa. Kaixa's articulation is similar to WFC, OCC and Fourze's FMCS figure line. Fingers are have two joints, no ab crunch. The most troublesome part that is different from the toy lines mentioned above is the leg articulation. Splits are easy but having on different action poses are least exciting. At least, this version of Kaixa has the correct bug eye pantone colors unlike my SHF counterpart.

Toy Review: S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii Kamen Rider Kaixa

Hi Firestarter here! I just need put it out there lolz. This is my written review of the S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii Kamen Rider Kaixa. SIC KT Kaixa is c/o Hobby Japan which I ordered about a week ago. It wasn't a must that I had to purchase Kaixa but it was rather natural since I had its SHF counterpart and Faiz in the KT line. Handing out my details to the company is like an episode of The Walking Dead, not thinking about options on my now diminishing review budget.

Its box brings a familiar face to the SIC KT collector. Most of the facade is like what you see in Faiz, just replace the it with Kaixa parts. And for those who are not in the know about this toy line, one appealing form is that there are no twisties involved. It started thanks to the toy named SIC KT Agito.

Demystifying SIC Kiwami Tamashii Side Basshar

Let's break down the upcoming SIC Kiwami Tamashii February 2012 offering - Kaixa's Side Basshar. A few years ago, Bandai released its first SIC KT bike, Faiz's Auto Vaijin. It garnered rave reviews and excited which catapulted the SIC KT's mark in Tokusatsu figure collection history. In 2012, Bandai is making its mark once again with the Side Basshar and recently released images, dissecting its parts and sample assembly from bike to mecha mode. Enjoy.

Price: 3,990 Yen
Release date: February 2012

Toy Review: SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Kaixa

Can I not stress further that I am a Kamen Rider Faiz fan? That's is why I didn't hesitate in getting my own Sh Figuart Kamen Rider Kaixa. SH Figuarts Kaixa is the 4th 555 figure that was released in 2011. It's user, Masato Kusaka which was actually the second person to wield Smart Brain's Kamen Rider device. First know user was Kouta Takamiya but eventually killed by the device since he ran out of Orphenoc DNA.

Honestly, this pessimistic hero is my least fave secondary rider to date. He is more nagging that my mother. LOL.

Toy Review: DX Kaixa Driver (Korean Version)

What the hell is that? Is that a new phone? That was what my wife told me when she first saw it. Of course, I laughed. I've always wanted a DX Faiz, Kaixa or Delta drive/phone but nowadays the price for one (even fugly and used) has sky-rocketed for more than what I can afford so I settled for a Korean version. There is big difference between its Jap version - just the text on the box and keys. Don't worry it is still in Japanese but the fonts are slightly different. I got mine for a great and most affordable price I can imagine. Hooray for extensive research. Again, this purchase was in line with the budget was given to me by my lovely and thoughtful woman of my life during my birthday month.

The Korean version I have to say is a good buy especially when the Jap version (as of this post) is really hard to get. This dumbed down replica functions well with all the bits and pieces you ever wanted from a Kaixa phone. Its sounds are (as what they say) louder than its Japanese version which is great as I don't need to modify and make adjustments to it (well almost).
