Bandai's S.H. Figuarts Masker Rider 1 from the Masked Rider The First Movie (2005)


In 2005 Toei Co. Ltd release a modernized movie remake of the classic Kamen Rider TV series from the early 1970's. Like any modern remake that meant updating the original suit design. The original suit design had baggy tights and a large helmet. The new design is more formfitting and uses more skin tight biker leather combined with areas of amor on the chest and shoulders. The helmet is small and sleaky. Overall this new design helps make Masker Rider 1 look much more athletic.


Bandai's S.H. Figuarts line takes it to the next level by creating superb 5.5 inch action figure based on that design. The figure is sculpted to perfection. The line work, texturing, and colors are top notch quality. With 20+ points of articulation, this figure can do it all. You can put Masked Rider 1 in all his trademark battle stances as well as the famous Rider-Kick. The figure includes 3 additional hand sets (a total of 6 hands) and 2 types of collar scrafs (relaxed and action flow). Masked Rider fans, this is a must have.

You also get double jointed elbows and knees. The use of diecast feet give these figures nice weight so your poses stand strong. With these articulation points you can pull some great rotations, tilts, bends and pull off some great trademark poses that are were in the live-action TV series.
