Those are some ill-placed gates. Tho, I guess this is just a special coating and slightly updated version of the MG, so it's not surprising.

The coating at least looks good tho and very reminiscent of how it looks in the show. Unlike the standard Figure-rise's standard mint green plastic and the SS's pure green.

yeah it's literally just the MG model with a special coating applied and parts pre painted from what I can tell from the images of the runners. which ties into my biggest issue with kits like this, unless a model is designed with the intention of being given a special coating like this (say the Hyaku Shiki from Zeta Gundam) the gates aren't placed properly to hid the nub marks with under gating techniques meaning that there are going to be a ton of little marks all over the model ruining the look

Box art for FIGURE RISE STANDARD RYUKIIIIIII
 

Box art for Figure Rise Standard Ryuki! I'm so excited!

Ahh looking cool! Super excited for this one as well. I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep Dragreder just because my display isn't that tall.

this too

A 2-foot long DragRedder? Sheesh, I don't collect this line, but what a steal.

Have to wait to see how good the red plastic looks for Dragredder, but the Ryuki figure looks leaps and bounds better than that old SHF. If you missed out on that set this probably a better replacement

does Ryuki always has that weird round thing on his visor?

Do you mean the bulge on his eyes? If so, yes. The whole head looks normal to me.

I hope that silver is the same silver as Den-O.

Really nice! Ryuki looks so much better as a physical model vs a 3d model. The red's a lot more vibrant! Also, is the silver going to be part of the kit like Faiz/Kabuto or is it something you have to paint?

Every time I see Ryuki I am surprised Bandai never released a literal BBQ grill in the shape of Ryuki's face or matter of fact all 13 of them.

Holy, the the Dragredder will be taller than Omega Supreme when stretched out! The fact that there's two stands for him will definitely help though. It's nice to see that Ryuki comes with 5 advent cards as well.

the box would be very very thicc

Not terribly more than usual, I imagine -- it should just be a couple more trays. Either way those new pics look EXTREMELY beautiful, and so does the box art at that!

Just found this video on YouTube of the Den-o forms from one week ago for anyone curious about them.

Bandai put out a blog for FRS Ryuki

Yay, the Dragreder stickers don't look to be as irritating as Hibiki's drum!

you got ahead of me to share it, lol

anyway, time to see the review

ohhhh myyyy godddd, it looks really good in hand

That’s a lot of stickers... how many are for Ryuki himself?

Looks like 19 for Ryuki alone. They circled the stickers for him in one of the pictures. Most of that looks like the drag visor, belt, and helmet crest.

That is about what I expected, though I didn't think it would be as much as 19 -- I also didn't consider the big Ryuki symbol on his head as a sticker, huh. Makes sense though.

Either way that's just fantastic and shows how great this line is -- you get a kit that looks this phenomenal with so much of the detail being done in parts separation, and only really tiny details requiring stickering. It's exciting for sure!

Talking of which: this is AWESOME. I like that they did the helmet this way because it's the best way to replicate Ryuki's unique eyes... and also is just kind of funny to see behind the mask.

i wonder what event is dis from

Whatever it is, they look brilliant!

A look at some of Ryuki's runners. Seems like Dragredder uses a different, more metallic red compared to Ryuki's bright red, which is fine but I wish he stayed the same red with Ryuki for them to match.

But what's important are the molded details. I'm sure they'd make painting him in that much easier!

I really like the work they put into Ryuki here. 2nd pic is how he looks next to the regular Ryuki SHF. Definitely like how vibrant FRS Ryuki looks compared to the SHF.

Imma hold out for the SS Release instead, but really cool to have a figure to fall back on in case I don't get the SS. I'll need to pick up the Agito tho for sure.

FRS is a definite upgrade for sure. Aside from maybe Zi-O and Build these kits really knock it out of the park on the first try; Ryuki looks amazing here

A bit surprised by Dragredder being different but maybe that is just a thing?

Dragraeder has always been a different color. In the show, he's CG and shiny, so the toys have him as a metallic or candy red. Ryuki is normally a pretty flat red.

FRS always seems to sculpt in all the details in addition to giving you stickers. It’s a great option for those that want to paint the kit

Even the SHF Dragredder is done in a more glossy red than the flat treatment of the figure. But man, the eyes and visor on the FRS helmet are done so much better

Yeah that's the way I've always seen it. I was planning to paint the Dragraeder a different shade but now I don't have to!

There is indeed lots of places for a nice reverse wash on Kamen Rider kits if you really want to go that far. But just a little details painting on them really look amazing. That Ryuki visor is begging for some black panel lining!

Some more pics from twitter.

Lovely silver parts. My only real disappointment is the silver sticker on top of the head, but at least they managed to make the red gem on top part of the clear red runner!

Let's wait at least 3 days for a full review..

Looks great! The shoulders are kinda funky, but the proportions are looking good and the helmet isn't oversized or anything

No sticker Ryuki? No sticker Ryuki.

Wow, the deck, the dragvisor and the helmet logo are the only details I can see missing. That's impressive

In addition to that, the Drag Saber's details also need stickers. Either way, yeah, FRS is just really really good at this! Makes me even more excited for Agito and Fourze

This really makes me think Fourze will come with his main switch tools

well.. the shf one include the astroswitches and its modules, so why figure rise not? since the scale is bigger than the old shf.

and anyway, if it's include the switches, do you think it will be some unpainted single part per switch or multi parts per switch?

(how do i delete this message?)

So are Figure-rise model kits like 6.25-6.5in for Kamen Rider? I know the Dragon Ball ones tower over the figuarts versions.
