Hmm, so SODO have RKF hands and don't use a hip swivel anymore, that's interesting.

If you look back to the first toy cataloge leak, this is listed as a form change set (don't remember exactly what they called it).

Yeah, Bandai's Rider website specifically calls it the RKF Kamen Rider Zero-One HybridRise Figure. It's a single figure that can change between all of Zero-One's first five forms.

Oh NiCE! Definitely glad I haven't bought the original RKF Zero-One yet! This looks like a fun toy.

Honestly surprised they bothered making a separate RKF Zero-One when they could have just released Rising Hopper from this. And maybe the other armour pieces in sets of two.

I think the move away from mainline gimmick RKFs is probably so they can stand alongside the legend RKFs uncumbered by any alterations they'd have to make to accommodate gimmicks. Shunting off the gimmicks to some extra figures allows the rest of the line to be more consistent. Otherwise the only option would be that Hybridrise Zero-One with its unsightly legs and even less paint than usual, another in a line of gimmick figures trading off aesthetics for function.

I personally prefer RKF than So-Do because RKF have bigger size than So-Do...

I really curious about Vulcan Punching Kong and Valkyrie Lightning Hornet. Hopely they will be released in RKF toy line too....

Honestly, the RKFs aren't that larger than SODOs. It's to the extent that I'm considering getting the Maximum Mightys from RKF and putting them with my SODOs.

So-Do looks nice but I still prefer RKF :D

The one of good thing from So-Do is So-Do have more forms than RKF. The example is So-Do Zi-O have all 19 Legend Rider Armors while RKF Zi-O only have 6 Legend Rider Armors...

Odd there's no announcement of Figuarts yet. Hell, I was surprised the All Model and Hobby Japan 2019 event didn't showcase any Zero-One related model kits at all. Just Kuuga and Den-O
