So how do these recent FRS compare to the old Master Grade kits we used to have years ago? Any real differences quality-wise?

Aside from being half the size and nowhere near as intricate, they're much better it terms of proportions and likeness, and the build quality is much better as well.

Nice! I've been eyeballing them for a while. Glad to hear they're done well.

Yeah I felt like W could've been better if they didn't have to incorporate the split gimmick, as cool as it was.
Den-O is certainly a highlight in almost every regard.

I'd try not to get too excited over the title 'beginning' -- directly after showing it, they talk about how they're doing the first rider of each series (auto-translate put it as 'the ichigou' and 'no. 1' which was very funny and misleading at first). I think it's just their way of saying "yes we're doing every main heisei rider".
btw, do you guys think the dragender is articulated?

I disagree on W being a disappointment. The Form Swap gimmick isn't intrusive in the slightest; it does make his structure slightly offset but to my eye mine looks perfect. My main disappointment is a small lack of parts, such as extra scarves. Still an extremely good kit; my ranking so far would be Den-O > Ex-Aid > W > Zi-O

I know it's a bit early, but I wanted to theorise on Agito stickers because it could potentially be exciting!
As a reminder, this is Kuuga's full set of stickers:- That's the silver eyes; the forehead gem; the red dots on his ankles and wrists; and two belt stickers. Very simple design led to a very small set of stickers! Likewise, Agito's design:- As a Rider originally designed as Kuuga 2 Electric Boogaloo, Agito is exceedingly simple as well. Judging from Kuuga, we can certainly expect the standard silver eye stickers and a sticker for the blue forehead gem. As he has no wrist/ankle dots, that's actually an improvement over Kuuga; as it means his arms, legs and chest should be free from stickers! The only possible places I could see stickers would be the silver lines on his lower legs and the black colour timer on his chest, but they're all so big I can easily see that being parts separation. Finally, the belt; always the biggest sticker magnet of FRS Rider. The Altering (the best pun in Kamen Rider that never gets talked about) is itself pretty simple though, and much like Kuuga it's possible the centerpiece could be parts separation! Only a maybe though, as there are some small details like the yellow lines that could be stickers. In a similar vein, a lot of the details along the side of the belt itself will likely be stickers as well.

Only gripe I have about it is hearing that there is no Plat Form broom. That's horrible.

https://hobby.dengeki.com/reviews/1053175/ Dunno if anyone has seen it yet but Dengeki Hobby put out an article a while back where they put out some tips on how to disguise FRS Faiz as a "true bone carving" Figuarts release. Basically, trimming on his height on and stuffing him up inside to give him heft. Some have done the same for Kuuga too. |
