Yeah the details on SHFs can't be compared, some of the SHF accessories are so tiny that I don't even want to take them out from the tray. If you drop them, chances are they are gone for good. That's why for some reason I do prefer the size/scale of the figure rise kits.

SHF does have tiny accessories - Gashats, Memories - but at least in those cases it is a much cheaper kit you're dealing with rather than an expensive collector's figure. And then in some cases you've got, say, Den-O's rider pass being attached to the hand.

Something I've always wondered about the Figure-Rise standard Kamen Rider kits: what would happen if you painted directly behind the lenses

This video shows a technique for improving the compound eyes. It looks like very shiny paint to the interior, then using a ceramic polishing compound (https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/TT25-P...dp/B0006O8GOC/)

With respect to scaling FRS to SHF, I feel FRS Zi-O and Faiz blend in quite well. Granted these are the only kits I own but the size of the helmets don't make the rest of the figure look like a bobble head. I would even go as far to say those helmets are about the same size of an SHF

These are well proportioned too, the only knock against them is they are noticeably taller than SHF. I've gotten around this by posing Zi-O in the far back row and putting Faiz in his trademark crouch position. Blends right in!

And as I've said many, many times here: FRS Faiz is a perfect placeholder for an SS release and is far better looking than that old crummy SHF

I have to chip in and agree that my current displays have W and Kuuga beside SHFs, and before I've had Ex-Aid, Den-O and Zi-O beside them as well -- and aside from of course the slight height difference they never looked out of place in the slighest.

I've done this with a chrome paint marker on a couple models. It works great for Build and W. Den-o's visor ended up looking darker than the foil and something just seemed off.

-LOVE- how W's eyes look there!!

Thanks! I've wanted to do it to more models, but with Den-o's eyes not looking the best I'm afraid to do anything I don't have a duplicate for unless I've got nail polish remover ready. Definitely going to do it to any future kits though. Hibiki was an exception.

This probably belongs on the SHF thread, but can the face plate of SHF Ghost be colored this same way?

I dont have the figure so I don't know if the black eye pieces are molded or painted in front or behind the clear "face"; but I've noticed it's not the orange color it is on the show and some customizers have fixed that

The answer is yes. I think you just have to paint the behind part of the visor.
