My rider arms arrived!
W on Gaim looks awesome, but I NEED to repaint the eyes. Wizard on Baron looks INCREDIBLE. So streamlined and solid, like he's got a sweet paldron on. OOO looks quite good on Gaim, and Fourze actually works pretty good with Baron. I actually REALLY want Ryugen and Zangetsu now, so Ryugen can have OOO and Zangetsu can have Fourze. |
Got my legend arms set today too, looking forward to messing with it properly tomorrow.

I took a pic of Baron/Fourze, but it turned out like shit. But here's the combos I like. I don't think Baron's gonna be wearing Banana Arms for a while. :p

The W arms looks great on Gaim. I hope for change arms of Kuuga - Decade soon.

I would LOVE more Rider arms, maybe with more unique transformations. |
Wizard Arms looks great on Baron.

I would kill for secondary or side-bit riders, like Skull. Dunno how they'd do the hat, though.
I've since painted my W's inner helmet, and have started folding the face up higher on the back. Looks more like a backpack verses a massive chunk of dangling nonsense like Fourze is unfortunately saddled with. |
I hope if they do make more Rider arms, they look better than the Legend set.
|
The legend set isn't bad. Basically it's just the giant backpacks that stink on W, OOO and Fourze. And at least they're managable on W and OOO. If future rider arms were like Wizard, using more of the face as armour, they'd be better. Example, it REALLY seems weird that W's crest doesn't end up ANYWHERE besides the back. They could've attached it to the shoulders. Granted that doesn't match W's look, but neither do the shoulderpads now. Likewise OOO's "wings" would make sweet shoulder pads.
Really the weakest of the set is OOO, which takes a very attractive and ornate helmet and turns it into the blandest armour. Outsid ethe little side wings and the tiny Taka symbol on the chest circle, there's no red from the helmet. The shoulderpads are just black squares, lacking even the ridge detail W at least had. |
I'm not a fan, personally. They all seem to fit awkwardly, like they are too small and they are all somehow amazingly bland, considering they are making the armours out of other Rider's. I know that is more down to the real life movie forms, but some of the more boring armours like Kiwi was able to translate just fine as a toy.
I guess it also doesn't help that minus W, Gen, Eiji and Haruto are three Rider's I love, so it feels like they deserve so much more. |
Then again, they're four armours sold at the same price as the two-armour sets.
For $5 each, you get a really nicely done helmet that unfolds into a cool piece of armour as a sweet homage to past riders most series don't do. Especially this early on. That's IF you even pay $20. I do really wish they came with weapons. I know that'd be lopsided, since W doesn't have a weapon, but if anything that just gives more room for a large rocket module for Fourze. |
Anyone else have the loose OOO armor problem with the eyes continually flopping down on the back?
|
Ive found it a decent little novelty. Unlikely the armour i'll use for display.
I know its not movie accurate, but OOO on Gaim and Wizard on Baron really does look better. I know why it is the way it is, but the colours fit so much better. |
Just a heads up.
CS Toys has all the following in stock for Kamen Rider Gaim: AC02 - Baron AC03 - Ryugen AC05 - Zangetsu AC06 - Mango & Kiwi Arms |
I didn't know grapes could cost this much :lol

I think the Sengoku Driver with part of the Genesis Driver sticking off of the side is on of my favorite Rider Belts ever.

Got my Legend Riders set today. Kind of wish they would have included weapons in the set at a higher price though. Now if only AC04 would come back instock so I could have my Zangetsu shipped from hlj...

I wonder if Fourze is the reason why the legend armor didn't come with weapons. They obviously have Wizard's sword's mold ready and accessible from the WAP line, though they'd have to dig up the molds from OCC and WFC for Medalibur and the Trigger Magnum... The issue with Fourze's rocket arm is that you can't simply put Zangetsu's arm in it - he doesn't have the raised ridges to slide it on like Fourze's base states figure did.
I thought about this while wondering if I could get my hands on the appropriate weapons by buying figures from the past series' toy lines... |
