Oh I know. It's just the closest thing I have to a Hongo figure until that Figuart actually gets released.

I wished they explained how he got this suit design from the movie.

Another one of those designs where I want to buy the toy without having seen the film. I'm looking forward to seeing the look in action as I slowly make my way through the Kamen Rider series.

I really like the design, and the figure makes it look even better. I originally thought it was a bit too bulky, but its grown on me.

I got this figuart but I kind of regret getting it I didn't like it that much it just did not impress me.

Now that I know a 2.0 Kamen Rider 1 is coming that figuart looks so much better.

The need is real!

I...have mixed feelings on this. Admittedly at lot of that just has to do with the origins of the design rather than the figure itself. It's not bad and I can appreciate the execution of an updated design, not to mention the appeal. But this really only works for Ichigo as an individual, he'll stick out like a sore thumb next to the other 6 Legendary Riders, especially Nigo. It's partly why the figure doesn't appeal to me that much.

Not gonna lie. I'm still not a fan of the design. I do much prefer Shin Ichigou when I think of Hongo. While it does fit the character, since he's had 3 (4?) prior suits, so a new one isn't really blasphemous or anything, I just can't fully support it.

That said, I have softened up on it (Though I don't like the abs).
It looks nice as a figuart, and it doesn't look like Zyuoh Gorilla next to the other Ichigou's, which is great. I'm glad the articulation isn't too restricted, though I never really assumed it would be (If they could make Broly fully articulated, this design should be a piece of cake :lol).
The belt covers also caught me off guard. I honestly would've never realized they were a thing if you didn't point it out. I guess it's the small details like that that really make these figures something special.
...That and the great articulation and quality :p

While I wouldn't shed a tear if Ichigou returns to his Shin suit in his next appearance, I'm not as pissy over this design.

I've always been kind of conflicted over this figure. On one hand, I kind of like the look and proportions and whatnot here better than the suit in the actual movie. On the other hand though, I probably would have wanted it to be more screen accurate regardless. Ah well.

Man this armor upgraded suit that he has looks so invincible!
I love the vivid colors the figure has and how acurate it is to the real thing! Haven't watched the movie he's in but I remember liking everything about him from the scans and promotional photos.
