I always thought DiEnd was a weird looking design. It looks like they spray-painted cardboard and plopped it on his shoulders and over his helmet. That being said I still liked the design. And I love that Figuart even more.

I never before realized how much of Diend's costume is reused from Decade.

One day... one day mine! Goodwork as always, Ryan Diend and Decade are both weird designs, and the Complete forms are even stranger. But at the same time, they don't quite reach levels of 'ugly' so I kinda like them. The designs certainly grew on me through watching the show, just by becoming accustomed to seeing them. Much like the Kabuto and the Ryuki Riders, I think they're all identical (within their respective shows) except for the shoulders, chests and helmets. Parts reuse isn't limited to toys, it's a good choice for a variety of reasons. And with good design of the unique parts, you often don't notice just how much is a straight up reuse/repaint. |

Nice. I've always liked the look of this guy, more than Decade (plus it helps that I dig the color blue that was used). I wish this would get a rerelease, given it consistently gets listed in the 5000 range on Mandarake.

Yeah, he's a bit hard to come by, and I'm not entirely sure I endorse him at $50. If you happen upon him for less, though, he's a good enough figure, as long as you're not comparing him too closely to something newer. |

Aw man, love that gallery!
He's never been a Rider I was much interested in getting in SHF form, but he doesn't look that bad. It's a shame about the accessories though. Really don't see why he wouldn't have come with both versions of the Diendriver...

I had a strong regret that I sold him for about $30 month ago (used, cempleted, with box). Recently I check, The price on this guy are ridiculously skyrocketed to USD $65 here in Indonesia (MISB)

I've always found it odd how much the Decade/DiEnd SHFs go for. They're kinda outdated, but they're still pretty expensive in general.
