The single-jointed knees are interesting. I assume the suit design forced their hands here, as the "kneepads" on the suit are more like thigh pads anyhow, the knees are below them.
If anything I think this is just further confirmation that they want to get Naki's body type and proportions right. They did a great job scaling and modeling Valkyrie to Vulcan so I have no worries that Naki will look great next to the other Metsubojinrai Riders. In terms of proportions, it might just be me, but the suit looks a bit thinner and more sleek than how it is in the show. |

That's a relief. I didn’t realize it could use similar articulation to 001.

I don’t think we have pictures of SHF Naki standing right next to someone else, but it’s easy enough to grab pictures from Tamashii Nations 2020 and level the field a bit. If this is accurate then not only is the scale pretty good, but also it's impossible for this figure to use the 001 mold as 001 is much taller. The proportions look rather accurate to me, not too tall or too thin. |

Aight. Then I think the legs, forearms, and crotch are taken from 001.
Also, that pic of Ikazuchi is so cool, since it makes him look so daunting and powerful. Almost makes me want to maybe skip Naki and grab him instead, especially since I prefer him more. |

Hard to tell IMO whether it's a literal case of parts re-use, but if not I figure the shared parts are just downscaled & edited so likely share the same knee engineering.
Naki was a hugely important character and a personal fave which makes me really wanna get them, but I'd feel obliged to dive back into the figuarts rabbithole which for the sake of my wallet I've been out of for a good while! Not even sure I could get away with just "limiting myself to a few favourites", as I don't imagine either Orthros Vulcan or Lightning Hornet will be a thing anytime soon... |

Orthorus is almost definitely happening given it's an easy repaint.
Lightning Hornet under normal circumstances I don't think would ever happen... but later in the run it seemed to almost get used as a pseudo Final Form for Valkyrie; so between that, its popularity and Valkyrie having no other forms (barring a possible V-cin one), I think it has a slight chance. An extremely slight one though, I'll still be very surprised if it happens.

Valkyrie is the first and only female Rider so far to have more than one form so who knows but then again they made her standard form a web exclusive I doubt they'd release another form change of hers that isn't THE final form.
I don't know how well her merchandise or character did for Japanese audiences because that tends to play a part in non-main riders taking priority like Dan Kuruto and Banjo or Kamen Rider Grease. I'm a little worried if they have given up on female riders again since there hasn't been one revealed on Kamen Rider Saber yet but also despite the huge main cast that they couldn't feature another main female rider again... |

And besides, with this large of an ensemble of riders, there's a good chance for there to be a female rider. Movie or show. Ryuki, Hibiki, Gaim, and Ex-Aid being examples. |

Regardless if Saber will have one or not, not having one doesn't really mean that Toei had given up on female riders again. Now, I don't know how well Valkyrie was received, but I do know that another character, Izu, was well received, to the point of having able to transform herself as well. Dunno if Azu transforming in Ark 01 would count as well.
And besides, with this large of an ensemble of riders, there's a good chance for there to be a female rider. Movie or show. Ryuki, Hibiki, Gaim, and Ex-Aid being examples. I do like that Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi continues to make appearances in v-cinemas and hope we get a figuarts of her someday especially considering so far she's the only female rider to not have one |
