That's a really simple but streamlined and striking design, and it definitely pops out in SHF form.

I like newer riders better. But older ones are cool too.

I wonder when J is going to come out.

He looks... Cool. Just a basic looking guy for me. I need to see the movie he is in to actually appreciate his design.

I always preferred how solid ZO's armour looked in comparison to J. Despite being the same designed, it might just be the shoulder pads. So would it take much to retool this for a J release?

I don't think they wanted ZO to be Ichigo and J to be Nigo, I think they were too cheap to invent new costumes, not that I'm complaining, figure looks awesome. BUT WHEN IS J COMING OUT?

The figure is so simple yet even though there is practically no room for error I am floored by the accuracy, a stellar figure that looks good with plenty of affects parts.

I think you just tapped into my one fear with showa riders, I love the antenna but oh my god if they break it's like the end of the world for me.

On to the figure itself, I really like the designs of the movie era double riders, they're really solid and unifying and are a really nice transition from the suits of showa to heisei so finally getting them in figuarts form is really exciting!

I can't wait for J to be announced so that we can have some double rider fun.

Btw what's that green effect part from?

No that's EXACTLY how the characters were envisioned at the time. It's literally why both costumes are nigh identical aside from some color differences. They were created in the same vein as Ichigo & Nigo. They were supposed to be the new generation of Double Riders.

Weirdly enough it's from an old McFarlane Star Wars Unleashed Luke Skywalker :lol

Considering all that gold piping on ZO is molded in, J isn't going to just be a simple repaint like going from Rider 1 to Rider 2. They're actually a lot more distinct than most people think, but you really have to see them together to notice the differences.
