"This is the power of justice!"
The
Hazard Trigger,
a weapon of unmatched power. With it,
Sento Kiryu
can gain the upper hand in any fight, becoming an unstoppable berserker in the process. To contain the uncontrollable power, Sento develops a new bottle to channel his strength and his consciousness. Surpassing the genius of Takumi Katsuragi, and maintaining himself within the chaos of
Hazard Form,
the Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle creates
Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Rabbit Form!
Representing his home Seito in the 3-round battle, Build will test his new power against the dangerous
Kamen Rider Rogue.
Main Figure
I mentioned it earlier this month when I reviewed
Build Trial Form,
but I absolutely love everything from
Kamen Rider Build.
It's one of a few series I consider it a necessity to own ever Figuart from. Even the BCR gimmick figures as well. It's just such a wonderful watch and every design felt so solid to me.
Rabbit Rabbit Form
is yet another stylish addition.
Rabbit Rabbit Form
is at a a basic level, a repaint of the tried and true
Rabbit Tank Form.
Much of this line is pretty basic parts reuse, with elaborate paint additions to differentiate them, and Rabbit Rabbit features some of the biggest addition to the classic base design. Since this form introduces us to one of Build's few symmetrical (mostly) forms though, there is less variation than you'd expect. The legs are physically similar to the left leg of Rabbit Tank, featuring the signature spring but contained in some new red armor. The ankles, it should be noted, do seem a little less dynamic than in previous uses of the mold. They lose some forward/back motion thanks to the cuff of the calve armor. The ankle joints as well as knees and hips are nice & tight, providing a very stable base of support.
The torso features yet another outing for the wonderful
Build Driver.
This time with a couple significant additions. Carried over from the
Hazard Form
release is the
Hazard Trigger,
it's molded in place on the top right of the driver. I wish it was removable for a figure to hold, but if they were going to give us one of those I'm guessing it would have been with the actual Hazard Form figuart. The Driver also feature the new
Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle
in it's collapsed form. It's removable as are all Full Bottles in the line, though it can't transform. An alternate accessory is included to replicate the cylinder form. As always an optional Full Bottle holster is attached to the left hip as well, though I refrain from using it out of fear of losing bottles.
The torso features some radially different armor than Rabbit Tank, Sparkling or indeed Hazard. The new chest armor feels like a proper piece of torso armor wrapped around the figure, rather than two piece of armor fused together as is traditional of Build's red/blue forms. Emblazoned on the chest is the gold Build
emblem.
I've always really dug this gear like symbol and I wish more riders had something like it on their suits. The arms are likewise mostly new. The shoulders feature new pads with rabbit spring inspired designs. The basic design of builds arms means that these new shoulder have plenty of room to move out from the body to maneuver, while maintaining a very natural look. The forearms continue the springy armor look as well, though they don't affect the figure's poseability in one form or another. As always the Build mold's wrist design works wonderfully.
Rabbit Rabbit also makes another pair of pretty huge additions to the design in the sort of rabbit coattails it has. In universe known as the
"Mufflerabbit Accelerators".
One is fixed to each side of the back plate with a small rotating ball joint at the base. They can spin a fill 360 at the joint, and can also spin 360 on the peg coming from the joint, while also being hinged for movement up and down. Making these things incredibly dynamic, not at all obtrusive, and because they're so lightweight they're never a problem for balance either. It's the best of both worlds and Tamashii needs to implement something akin to this a more figure. I'm looking at you Cronus!
Finally Rabbit Rabbit's head has the obvious base of the Hazard Form, as seen by the black spires coming out from behind the rabbit mask. The new rabbit visors are easily some of the best I've seen from the line as well. The clarity of the underlying pattern is near crystal clear, and the gold accent really makes them pop.
Accessories
While it may not seem like a ton of stuff, this figure already has so many display options thanks to it's design and the accessories help accent this:
4 - sets of hands.
As always, the Build line continues to give us a wealth of expressive options for each figure. Two sets of open palms, a set of weapon holding hands, as well as those for holding the Machine Builder's handlebars and striking Build's signature finger pointing pose.
1 - Full Bottle Buster.
Originally this weapon was used mostly just by Rabbit Rabbit & Tank Tank. But later Build's standard form could also utilize it and he utilized it in Genius Form as well. The Buster can accept full bottles down it's barrel, those there's no locking mechanism or filler part to keep them from sliding back and forth unless you have it fully loaded. The trigger/grip can be folded down to transform it from Blade to Cannon mode as you wish as well.
1 - Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle.
This double sized Full Bottle in it's cylinder form can be used in the Buster or any other Full Bottle compatible device, though not quite in the same way because of it's length. Otherwise you may not get much use out of it since the folded version of the bottle comes attached to the Build Driver.
That may not seem like a lot, but the other releases in this line has really knocked out all of the key accessories so far. The Full Bottle Buster was the last sort of big weapon or part we hadn't seen yet for Sento. So as far as accessories go I'm quite satisfied.
Final Thoughts
Seeing as I rarely have anything bad to say about a release from
Kamen Rider Build,
you shouldn't expect that hear. This release takes what is already the best mold from the show, slaps some new layers of paint and excellently executed new parts on top, and gives us one of Build's best power ups. The soon to be released
Tank Tank Form
was definitely on my list to get as well, but it just jumped up several spots in my priorities thanks to this release as well.
Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Rabbit form
is a simultaneously simple and extensively well thought out reuse of one of the lines most choice molds. If you're a fan of the series at all, I highly recommend grabbing it.
