Bandai's S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider W figures have been a huge hit for collectors and fans of the series. To make sure fans of certain combinations of the character aren't left in the dark, Bandai released the Kamen Rider W Cyclone 2 pack. This set includes the Cyclone/Metal and Cyclone/Trigger figures.

When you take out of the figures and compare them to other toys lines out there, you'll discover the S.H. Figuarts line is one of the best action figure lines you'll ever lay your eyes upon. First and foremost, no amount of detail is overlooked in these 6 inch figures. The sculpting quality is amazing, from the complex action figure suit design to the gadgets and weaponry, it's a sight to behold when you look at how artistically show-accurate these figures are. Bandai uses high quality plastic throughout the body in combination with diecast feet, giving these figures quality material and weight. There's great satisfaction in the metallic paint job that is applied to these figures. As an action figure collector who's been collecting for years, these figures certainly draw the most attention on my shelf.

This particular set of figures include the Kamen Rider W Cyclone/Trigger and Cyclone/Metal figures. Both are crafted to perfection and each have unique paint schemes and detail markings. Both figures have the same articulation points: ball jointed head, neck, arms, legs, hands, torso, waist and feet. The use of double jointed elbows and knees is also a very nice touch that gives these figures nice bending range. With this kind of articulation, any pose is possible.

Accessories are a sight to behold and are easily interchangeable. Each are highly detail as the body sculpts and are to scale with the figures. First off, you get extra types of hands: 4 cyclone hands, 2 trigger hands, and 2 metal hands. Weapons include the Trigger Magnum and and 2 versions of the Metal Staff. You receive 3 different types of scarves for the Cyclone half of the figures: 2 relaxed and a super-extended. Unlike other Kamen Rider W figures before, this particular 2 pack includes the Memory Gadgets: Stag Phone, Bat Shot, and Spider Shock. Each of these Memory Gadgets can combine with the Trigger Magnum.

This set of figures is a must have if you really want to complete your collection of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider W figures. Visit Bandai S.H. Figuarts Masked Rider W Cyclone Trigger & Cyclone Metaltoday and them to your collection.

Kamen Rider OOO's S.H. Figuarts line has been widely impressive with the many variations of the character that have been released so far. The latest form is the Tajadol combo. Refered to as the "Blazing Combo" for its overall red and black appearance as well as its bird-like design, this figure is striking too look at once you pop it out of the box.

Design-wise, Bandai captures the live-action suit design so well for this 6" figure. Every aspect of the armor, helmet, belt, body and accessories are sculpted to perfection. The color palette for the figure is predominantly black with metallic red armor and accents of metal and gold. The image on the chest armor uses a different deeper red for the phoenix design and contrasts the brighter metallic red of the armor very well. And don't forget those awesome compound eyes S.H. Figuarts is known for, its definitely used on this figure and they look great. What I found different in the figure from different Kamen Riders before in the S.H. Figaurts line is the use of clear face plate over the front of the face. Its made of a translucent red plastic and doesn't blur out the design underneath the area it is covering. It's a very slick effect Bandai crafted into this figure.

Like the action figure, the accessories are just as detailed. Included are specifically sculpted Tajadol Combo accessories: the Taja-Spinner shield, 2 open hands, 2 weapon gripping hands, and 2 Taja-Spinner gripping hands. The Taja-Spinner is made of basic plastic with metallic paint combined with a clear translucent red plastic top that has a beautiful bird texture. Carry over accessories for this figure from the previously released Tatoba Combo figure that are also included are the O-Scanner and a Medajaribur sword.

Articulation includes double jointed elbows and knees for extreme bending. Ball jointed head, neck, torso, waist, arms, wrist, and feet are used to give this figure nice posing ability. I should also mention the use of good plastic material for the figure helps for clean posing and not too loose joints. Thanks to all these factors,this figure can strike any pose with style and ease.

I will admit, I wasn't too impressed with this design when I first saw it on the live-action TV show. Now that I have it in action figure form, this just may be my favorite Kamen Rider OOO's design, it's that awesome. Pick up yours today at www.ishop2go.com
