This figure is gorgeous and I love the design, but what would be keeping me from getting this are rings as those look like they could be lost just by opening the package, possibly the cape as I'm still not used to soft goods on figures, and I'm kind of put off by the way the sword gun is handled. Like I would be really worried about losing or breaking them. As well as it gets rid of the fun of being able to dual wield them.

The rings aren't as bad as they look, really. They come packaged snugly on a plastic sheet tray they plug into and also plug equally snugly into the holster on his belt. The only really worry is plugging the rings into the hands since they don't just pop in easily. There's a little resistance. But outside of that, as long as you're careful they're perfectly manageable.

That comparison pic with the original is so strong. Especially after seeing various comments (probably newcomers) asking what the difference between this and the original figure are, oof just look at that thing.

Even before the SS line debuted, this and figures like W always looked off to me from the get-go.

Dayum. The original looks like a terrible piece of kiddy bootleg garbage compared to this thing.

Dat coattails unf!

Kamen Rider Wizard has a special place for me, and this figure looks exactly what I imagined his figure should have looked like way back. He makes the other forms look bad next to him. Getting an Infinity in this style would be cool, though I know it'll probably never happen. I should definitely get Souma before it's way too late and his price spikes (just like Knight!!!!!!)!

Gotta admit, I wasn't a big fan of Wizard. I felt it squandered some of its ideas, and I wasn't a fan of the characters or their arcs. But man, that show had some nice style. No pun intended. The Wizard suit and integration of the powers was interesting, and it's nice to see an updated figure that captures that feeling.

Great photos Wizard was the first Kamen Rider Figuart I pick up. I got the infinity form cause, of reasons how the other figuarts were off. I really glad to hear positive stuff about Wizard. I will be picking up flame dragon when bandai get around to it.

Glad to see this Rider getting some figure love. Was one of my favorite designs and themes with all that it was about. Next to kiva, and a few select others, this one will always have a special place in my heart too.

But I always did have a thing for Wizards~

man this one looks leagues better than the original, the helmet sculpt gives me life lol

Wizard is not my favorite rider, but I like that Bandai is releasing this SS figure to improve the original one. I find it funny in the comparison picture that the original is shorter and the SS Wizard is taller.
