Received Zi-O today. It's both a hit and a miss.

I've already complained about the lack of an image - or even just differentiating paint - on the face of the RideWatches. Because they face forward, it's reasonably glaring. Couldn't they at least have sent us some stickers? At least the Build RideWatch is molded in the appropriate two colors. The bike's RideWatch colors look a little off, but maybe that's just me.

The rest of the paint seems to be great, including little things like the button on the Jikuu Driver and the details on the mask's clock face.

Good news: the RideWatches on the Driver and wrist holders are removable. Thoughtful design.
Bad news: for no good reason, the plug on them is molded so that the Build RideWatch cannot be slotted into the Jikuu driver in the right orientation: the face is sideways and the arrow is pointing the wrong way. Stupid, stupid design.

There are three character-specific hands included: two for his "clock-hands" pose and one for a head-related gesture I don't recall seeing him use in the show (it's shown on the back of box.) Alas, none of his hands can hold a RideWatch. I have to wonder if the additional character-specific hand has to do with designs from before the show aired. The clock-hands don't actually sit right in relation to the forearm if you're trying for the appropriate pose from head on. (That pose from the promotional image where he does this, facing forward, and we can see the RideWatches on his wrist is impossible. Would've required the figure to have a forearm-swivel.)

Seems like the articulation may be decent; I haven't tried putting it into extreme poses, yet.

All together, the figure is... okay? It's not Ghost-level bad. It's not Drive-level good.
