Toy Review: S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Super 1

This is my review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Super-1 representing the titular character from the 1980 Kamen Rider series. Bandai Tamashii Nations is banking on Showa Riders for the said figure line and I believe this one in particular hits on the right spot.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Super-1 includes his signature super-powered attachments called the "Five Hands": Super Hands, Elek Hands, Power Hands, Radar Hands, and Hot/Cold Hands. 10 interchangeable hands, the Lightning Sword, 2 mufflers and 2 pairs of tassels for the Super Hands are also included.

S.H. Figuarts Super 1, Knight Survive and S.I.C. Kiwami Decade Images

Here are clearer images of the upcoming rider that will soon be released in S.H. Figuarts and S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii toy lines. First is the S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Knight Survive, the upgrade form of Kamen Rider Knight.

SHF Knight Survive includes the Dark Visor Zwei, Sword Vent, Advent card and a blue Tamashii Stage with Knight logo imprinted. This will be released in November for 3675 Yen.

Super 1 Added To S.H. Figuarts Line

Recently toy catalogs have revealed that S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Super-1 out for sale too. A true Showa rider, Super-1 will include several attachments akin to his show and will be released this November at 3990 yen. Pretty hefty for an oldie.

Also announced that a few notable SHF figures will also join for this December as Tamashii Web Exclusives such as S.H. Figuarts DekaGreen for 3675 yen, S.H. FiguArts Genocider for 10,500 yen, S.H. FiguArts Basco & Sari for 5250 yen.

Toy Review: S.I.C. Kamen Rider Super 1

Before there was Kamen Rider Fourze, Kamen Rider Super 1 was a Rider built by the Americans and Japanese for him to survive in space without the bulky stuff. That is why Super-1 has tassels similar to a cowboy's upper garment.

I'm totally excited on the latest releases of Bandai's S.I.C. line. Super in SIC just becomes and understatement. A good example is SIC Kamen Rider Super - 1, one of the final triumvirates that is needed to complete the Showa era. If you were hesitating before in including SICs in your collection of riders, now is the time get back on the saddle and ride with me through this review.
