Bandai S.H. Figuarts TKamen Rider 000 ajadol Combo

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

Bandai S.H. Figaurts line adds in Kamen Rider Faiz most powerful form to their collection with the Blaster Form

Like all previous S.H. Figuarts, this figure is highly sculpted by the folks at Bandai and is equal to its live-action TV Show counterpart. The attention to detail can be seen everywhere; from the overall suit design to the weaponry. The figure uses a very simplistic color palette of an overall flat red. It's accented with metallic colors on the armor which has a nice visual contrast to the eye. 

Articulation includes ball jointed head, neck, arms, legs, hands, torso, waist and feet. You also get double jointed elbows and knees for maximum bending range. The feet are made of diecast which gives the figure good weight and stability for poses. Combo all these articulation points with the high plastic material the figure is made of and you get a figure that can pull off some very dynamic poses.

Accessories are always a sight to behold with the S.H. Figuarts line. For this figure, you get a variety of additional hand sets: 2 closed fists, 1 weapon gripping right hand, and 2 open hands. You also get right hand gripping the Faiz Shot. Faiz's backpack can convert into a flight pack or over-the-shoulder cannons with the swapping of included alternate backpack pieces. His main weapon is the Faiz Blaster can convert into 3 different modes: suitcase, blaster, and blade mode. In blade mode, you can add an optional blade effect part to give your Kamen Rider Faiz Blaster form a more powerful appearance. Lastly, a Faiz Pointer is included for attaching to the right leg for pulling off the the famous Rider Kick.

If you're a fan of Kamen Rider Faiz, especially Blaster form, this is must buy.
