I don't know why they insist on using these delicate materials on some of their figures. I still barely pose Kamen Rider Black because I don't want to tear the rubbery material in the armpits.

For what it's worth I think by "soft parts" they just mean PVC which a lot of figures use anyway. Seihou THE NEXT Ichigou uses it for his torso and I haven't had any issues with it yet after keeping him in a pretty hunched over pose.

Lol why did I think Stronger was already released but I give them props on staying committed to releasing the "Legendary 7" Showa Riders in the Seihou line because I remember when they first showed them off including Nago's 1st suit design

Still no Durendal preorder confirmation date

Did I buy a fake?
 

Hey, so I just bought a Shin Kamen Rider 1 SHF figure that is cheaper than other sellers.

Once the figure arrived and I looked up the box, I noticed that my box and the typical Shin Kamen Rider 1 box had a lot of differences such as that my box said Masked Rider and the original box said Kamen Rider. The original box also has a Holo Tamashii Nations sticker while mine only has a smaller silver sticker.

I also noticed that the layout of my box is more similar to the other Shin Kamen Rider releases (2, 2+1, 0, etc.) and that my figure has plastics on its waist and abdomen.

So, did I buy a fake?

Looks real to me ...

The smaller Nations sticker is the norm these days, and the plastic is always added in the factory before it's sealed

Welcome to Tokunation!

If the seal isn't holographic it's a fake sadly.

The seal is the same as the ones I found on the SS in a big toy store though.

Oh, and it is holographic, it's just less visible in my room. But, if it's in a brighter room, multiple "Tamashii" are visible in the background(?).

Maybe he will come after Nago Fantasy and Bitter Gavv?

I do think it's fake mine have it as Kamen Rider instead of Masked Rider and the seal does not have multiple Tamashii visible
