Toy Review: S.H. Figuarts Kickhopper and Punchhopper (Shinkocchou Seihou)

The S.H. Figuarts Kickhopper and Punchhopper coming to the Shinkocchou Seihou line had a lot of improvements from the first editions. First, the colours for both new version are shaper while the previous ones looked saturated. Next are the compound eyes on Punchhopper are now in silver than green and the highlights are more golden than bronze-ish. On KickHopper, its green parts are sharper the lines more accurate. The jewels are more prominent and obvious and the transformation belts are sleeker than just plain blocks.

Toy Review: S.I.C. Kamen Rider PunchHopper And KickHopper

Aside from Kabuto another pair of popular riders have finally graced the S.I.C. series namely Kamen Rider PunchHopper and KickHopper. Though sharing almost the same frame, differences include the placement of the Anchor Jack on PunchHopper’s right arm and KickHopper on his left leg. Their Hopper Zecter is flipped on opposite sides making the more obvious differentiation aside from the paint application.

Toy Review: SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Punch Hopper and Kick Hopper

Welcome to my review of the Hell Bros., depressed Kamen Rider-at-arms. Took me quite a few months to finally review these two SHFs. About nearly 6 months ago SHF KickHopper just got re-released due to the clamor of SHF fans and seems to have some sort of shortage. Because of this, PunchHopper became the rare figure to find. Especially if you want the first release edition which includes a Stage Act 1/2 stand.

It has been ages since I did a double review, but it is hard to separate them from each other because SHF Kamen Rider KickHopper and PunchHopper are practically of the same mold with slight differences in terms of paint apps and position of their mechanical arm/leg. Like I said earlier, only PunchHopper is the first release edition so he only has the stand.
