S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black and Black RX

This is the review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black and Kamen Rider Black RX from the classic Kamen Rider series with the same name.


We will do the review for both items at the same time here.

The price for Black is 2,500 yen (about SGD 39.00) and the same for Black RX which is also 2,500 yen - before adding whatever shipment charges whatsoever.


The box...






Out of the box - Black only comes with several extra hands while Black RX comes with several extra hands and his signature sword (Revolcane);






As usual, let's have a look at them;













Articulation wise, nothing surprising, it is exactly what you could expect from Bandai S.H. Figuarts series. Overall the articulation is excellent and promise lots of fun with various action pose. The usual kneeling pose is not a problem surely;





Most of the articulation points are in fact identical between these 2;






The only differences in on the neck part. The Black RX have some "stiff" neck due to the design, turning the head to left and right is not a problem....





But when it comes to up and down movement... that is when you feel the Black is much better than the Black RX.








Other than than... the rest of the articulation and pivot points are all excellent;









And now, a little bit of action pose with Kamen Rider Black;












And of course, some action pose with Kamen Rider Black RX;







With his laser sword - Revolcane....










And to add more spice.... we should give them the Cyclone II...




In fact this bike is belong to the old fart original Kamen Rider... yeah, yeah, yeah... most of you the Kamen Rider fans should knew that already....









We're going to the beach... bye...






I personally feel that the Cyclone II is quite small for this S.H. Figuarts....






And thus this 1/16 scale Green Kawasaki Ninja should be more reasonable in size for them....





And last but not least... they're people out there who wanted to know the scale/size comparison.... so this is the size comparison with Revoltech Sanada Yukimura, Revoltech Ingram, Figma Tsukasa, 1/144 scale Gundam (5 inches) and 1/100 scale Gundam (7 inches)...






Overall, if you like the classic Kamen Rider Black and Black RX, this figure from Bandai's S.H. Figuarts series is the best action figure you could get at a decent price. This figure series offers great details, good quality and extremely brilliant articulation.
