It's been a little while since we took a look at another release from
Kamen
Rider
Ghost.
And this time instead of an actual rider we're checking out a ride! Today's subject is
S.H. Figuarts Machine Ghostriker!
Packaging
Fairly standard Ghost theme here. Nothing special to report, and stock photos for a bike are generally pretty boring anyway.
Main Figure
Rider Machine
reviews are usually pretty easy, and this one is no different. Bikes rarely do much of anything new or noteworthy in execution. Transforming behemoths like Autovaijn, Darkraider, & the like being fantastic exceptions. But
Machine Ghostriker
is a totally by the numbers release. Keeping that in mind let's talk about the only thing we can really discuss with this piece, the details.
Ghostriker
has a fairly boring color scheme given it's unique design. I'd have loved to seen this bike in some more wacky colors. Using Ghost's standard black & orange with a hint of the Ghost Driver's opaque blue however is pretty unappealing. The Design itself is unique though. This horse theme is entirely new to rider machines, no previous bike I can think of uses this motif. The segmented skeletal nature of the horse comes into play only on the front end of the bike though. So the rest of it is, well, just a bike. And again, just a rather boring one.
Ultimately there's not a lot to say about this machine that pictures can't express. It's a serviceable companion to any of your Ghost figuarts and will complete a display quite nicely. But if you're looking for intricacy or complexity, then you'll find it lacking. As always I welcome crisp paint apps, the working rear suspension, and a design that can (mostly) accommodate the figure of the rider it's intended for.
Accessories
As with almost any Rider Machine, Machine Ghostriker includes next to nothing.
1 - wheel base.
Just the standard type included with most Rider Machines for stability.
1 - Tamashii Stage Adapter.
This adapter clamps onto the underside of the bike pretty securely and allows you to put it in some more dyamic poses. But it's uses are limited as well
That's not much, but it is very much in line with the types of accessories usually included with Figuarts bikes.
Final Thoughts
As with every release in the Ghost lineup, I waited for this one to hit a pretty deep clearance before buying it. I probably should have waited longer though.
S.H. Figuarts Machine Ghostriker
doesn't really set itself apart much from other bikes, there's no Captain Ghost for it to combine with, and it doesn't come with any meaningful accessories. This release is totally unnecessary unless you just want to go all in on
Kamen Rider Ghost,
otherwise, I'd say take a hard pass on it. If you must buy Machine Ghostriker though, I would advise you wait for a sub-2000 yen discount first.
