I always feel like the figure rise models look fantastic until I see them next to SS figuarts. Then I can't unsee how big their heads seem. Kuuga's kits seem like bobble heads next to the SS. Certain figuarts like Decade seem like the head is too small, so I've got some high hopes for the next kit.

SHF does have tiny accessories - Gashats, Memories - but at least in those cases it is a much cheaper kit you're dealing with rather than an expensive collector's figure. And then in some cases you've got, say, Den-O's rider pass being attached to the hand.

Something I've always wondered about the Figure-Rise standard Kamen Rider kits: what would happen if you painted directly behind the lenses
This video shows a technique for improving the compound eyes. It looks like very shiny paint to the interior, then using a ceramic polishing compound (https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/TT25-P...dp/B0006O8GOC/)

With respect to scaling FRS to SHF, I feel FRS Zi-O and Faiz blend in quite well. Granted these are the only kits I own but the size of the helmets don't make the rest of the figure look like a bobble head. I would even go as far to say those helmets are about the same size of an SHF
These are well proportioned too, the only knock against them is they are noticeably taller than SHF. I've gotten around this by posing Zi-O in the far back row and putting Faiz in his trademark crouch position. Blends right in! And as I've said many, many times here: FRS Faiz is a perfect placeholder for an SS release and is far better looking than that old crummy SHF |

Thanks! I've wanted to do it to more models, but with Den-o's eyes not looking the best I'm afraid to do anything I don't have a duplicate for unless I've got nail polish remover ready. Definitely going to do it to any future kits though. Hibiki was an exception.

This probably belongs on the SHF thread, but can the face plate of SHF Ghost be colored this same way?
I dont have the figure so I don't know if the black eye pieces are molded or painted in front or behind the clear "face"; but I've noticed it's not the orange color it is on the show and some customizers have fixed that |
