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
