So this figure just released today, and as such reviews have been coming out. Said reviews have alleviated any fear no matter how small I had about the figure.
First of all, the Combo Change. Is it difficult to do? Nope! The Head, Arm and Leg parts of the figure pop out of each other very easily in the same way the Combo Change figures did (ofc, sans button and mechanism), yet strikes that perfect balance of being solid enough to not come apart easily when you're playing with him. There is a single additional step over the Combo Change figures; that being the leg part of the chest medal. Rather than being attached to the legs themselves, it's instead a separate piece that attaches to the arm part of the medal via a small swivel. Still very easy to do. Summed up; the Combo Change gimmick is hardly involved or a pain to do and is practically as easy as a gimmick figure.
Second, the articulation. As mentioned above, the leg part of the chest medal is not attached to the legs and instead attaches to the arm part of the chest medal via a small swivel. This is a genius move that not only means the leg articulation is completely unhindered; but also means that the chest medal itself is not getting in the way of any ab crunches or the like! This guy can do anything any other Seihou Rider can do if not more.
And thirdly, perhaps the most worrying for some people; the core medals themselves in the driver. Now, I don't speak japanese, so I don't know exactly what the guy was saying in the video I watched...
but he was shaking OOO repeatedly upside down and the medals didn't so much as budge from the driver
, so I think I got the message. As far as I can tell, once you put the medals in there, SOMETHING keeps them extremely tight and secure so unlike other tiny gimmick items (looking at you gaia memories), they ain't coming out easily to get lost. For when you DO want to take them out for a combo change or for Eiji to hold them, there is a small hole at the bottom of each medal slot that allows you to push a pin or something similar through it to push the medal out.
There's a lot of genius stuff going on in this figure, the last of which seems to address criticisms of previous Figuarts Rider entries; and I'm glad to see that every fear I had was completely unjustified. I'm so stoked to get my hands on this figure you guys
