Honestly, I see no reason to own that Ichigo when I already have one.

However, what is up with the bird staff? The regular one came with a bird sword. Did he ever use a sword in the show?

Yep, this is Rider 1 as he appeared in the first 13 episodes of the original Kamen Rider.

He never carried one, but Riders 1 and 2 would frequently grab an enemy's weapon to use against them.

man I already have 2 Rider 1s...

I want them to release the first Rider 2, I never got the new version already released, and frankly I'd prefer not to. Hate the idea of spending $35+ on the same figure, just with red gloves and boots.

And the stripes! Don't forget the stripes! :lol

How many versions of Rider 1 are out there?

This will be the third variant. All regular releases too. It just goes to show how popular the Showa guys must be.

Looking forward to both of these.

lol

You must not collect Transformers, GI Joes, or even DC stuff. I have been buying the same figures for years at times just because they have a paint job to make them a different character.
And yet, we still don't even have at least AkaRanger.

Well it's Rider 1, so it's really not a surprise to me that all these variants are mass releases
