Yes. Kamen Rider 2(Nigo) a sort of lackey to Kamen Rider 1(Ichigo). Their designs are almost the same besides their gloves/boots and the lines down their arms and legs.

Ok so No. 2's redesign is coming through a TWE soon, and No. 1 already has a redesign, right?

Edit: Oh, and since I'm going to be buying a bunch, are there any to absolutely avoid? I know about the ones that are getting renewals soon, but are there any KR figuarts that are just total crap?

Avoid the Kamen Rider Ryuki figures and Kamen Rider Fourze figures if you don't like "little pieces" to them. Between the cards and the silver plugs on the Ryuki figures that can be lost if you sneeze, and Fourze's switches falling off his belts if you cross your eyes, it could be a nightmare to keep them "complete" once you open them.

But the Ryuki figures are amazing, amazing figures. The Fourze figures are okay, I own them more because I loved the series so much.

There aren't really any Rider Figuarts the can be call total crap anyway. The OOO figuarts are definitely the worst quality figures in the line and even then they're still perfectly fine in their own way.

I really like the way the Ryuki figures look, and I think I like Gai the best...:cry

Ryuki will probably be the next series I watch. Finished Blade last night and started on Wizard today.

Good to hear, thanks!

It really is hard for a Figuart to be complete crap anyway. Even the Gobuster FIguarts aren't terrible.

That's one of the reasons that I'm switching to figuarts from Transformers. I got tired of toys not being accurate to the source material/having lackluster articulation. Figuarts figures just seems to have so much personality and character; a lot of it comes off in pictures with the poses they are able to achieve.

My wife says Kamen Rider is a stupid, kids show. I told her that she's the one who married me, so too bad :D My 1.5 year old does love watching the show with me, though.

I think you're exaggerating a little bit on the Ryuki figure. The only one that really has fall-out-if-you-look-at-them plugs is Ryuki. Every single one after that has been a lot tighter, in my experience.

The cards though, yeah, leave them in their little bag or they are vacuum-bait.

Fourze, holy crap, I am AMAZED and ASTOUNDED that I have not lost one of those switches yet. Just having thought about my Fourze figure means one of the switches has fallen out, and I'm 4 rooms away from it! I'm honestly very tempted to glue them in, cuz I'm not going to switch the switches when I swap out the modules. Unless I do a gallery for them here. :/


To masishadow:
you cannot go wrong with a Ryuki figure. They are all perfectly executed. If Gai is your favorite design though, I pity you. He's impossible to find for under $100 and he just isn't worth anything near that.

I'll pick up a bunch of the others off amazon since they are cheaper right now and save Gai for later...and genocider...and Ryuga. Ugh. I can already tell this hobby will be more expensive than third party transformers.

oh yes, you will soon learn. another problem is you buy all the mass release ones then realise you need the web exclusives to complete the team/show, so you spend hours trawling the net to find the cheapest. you buy it, ship it and display it... THEN you realise your house isnt as stable as you think and you need some tamashii stages to pose them, so back to the web you go... Before you know it you miss the days of walking into a shop and picking up a generations or prime toy. its totally worth it though. totally
