Toy Review: S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Fourze Module Set 05

The most expensive module set in the S.H. Figuarts line and only set that claimed the stamp, "exclusive", is the Module Set 5. As the biggest set and hopefully the last, has 20 of both on and on switches to match with the modules included. I will not dwell much on the switches since it functions like any other.

Tamashii Nations Teases Two More S.H. Figuarts Wizard Exclusives

It was posted on Tamashii Nations' official website that there are two more Web Exclusives planned for the S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Wizard line. There are no hints yet which character/s from the show will be pegged as exclusives.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Wizard Effects Set In May 2013

Just in! Bandai has already posted images of the S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Wizard Effects Set 01. This set will definitely increase that spunk for the S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Wizard forms ( Flame and Water styles).

Toy Review: S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Fourze Module Set 2

This is a review of the S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Fourze Module set 2. Pink? really? I have no idea why but it seems that guys from Tamashii Nations are fond of this color and had place this on Module Set 2.

The set includes the parachute, chainsaw, hopping and smoke modules accompanied by their respective on/off switches which amounts to 8. Against all of the modules, the chainsaw and the parachute are the most hassle prone accessories here. The chainsaw module does have a flip out action to reveal the saw and has an extra foot with the teeth embedded to be more realistic. So this means, I need to keep exchanging these parts depending on when and how I use them. Because of that, the pegs are susceptible to wear and tear. As for the parachute module, this is no rocket science to place the parts together but be warned that the ropes (wired assembly) will be crooked in the process. A KRC Tamashii Stand with extension are available to hold the parachute and a clip on lock to hold Fourze in the air. Looking at it, it feels unstable.

Toy Review: SH Figuarts Tajadol Effect Parts Set

My hair on my arms just stood up when I first saw the complete Tajadol combo. Coupled with the henshin jingle and Akira Kushida's masculine and course old rock voice, I was lead into a flabbergasted trance. Then came announcing its SHF figure. Tajadol in my opinion is the most anticipated character to come in a toy form. I couldn't explain to myself why I am so amazed. After my review of the Tajdol combo a few months back, my excitement heightened even more when Bandai announced its SHF Tajadol Effect Parts Set. Like a kid itching for ice cream, I was set to get this immediately to my fellow SHF and OOOs fans.

The first thing that will take your breath away is its box design. The box is by far the widest SHF box you'll see so far. Its reason will be discussed further in this review. Tajadol Combo's photo with all of its glory, is printed at the face of the box - no windows to see its content just like any other exclusives. Yes, this is an exclusive.

Inside, the set includes the peacock feather effect which is the reason why the box is that wide. It is a laminated plastic and creates that luminous effect when you place in front of a light source. See the photos I've taken below. Nice. Just take care of the peacock feather as it is said that it could break off easily or worse shatter into pieces.

Toy Review: SH Figuarts Ankh Stand Set

Ahh, one of my spur-of-the-moment pre-ordered items for the month of August. The SH Figuarts Ankh Stand Set. I'm not so sure why I wanted one probably I was interested on how this will turn out. The Ankh Stand Set is actually a pretty release and it is not exclusive (it shouldn't be at 20 bucks). This is far better than the exclusive Unkh figure that came with first release SHF Tatoba.

The package is half the size of a regular SHF release but still retains the bo art of the SHF Kamen Rider OOO release. Just see it as a pint-size SHF box. Instead of Unkh as previously spelled on the 1st Tatoba Release, we have now Ankh as per the subbed videos we see on sites such as TV Nihon.
