[Kamen Rider Die]

Bummed out with this tiny man, I’ve got to say. I really wanted a RabbitTank Build, and Mandarake had one, so I threw some other SO-DO figs onto an order so I could get my base suit Build. And, y’know, I have a base suit Build now. Ticked that collector box in my brain. But, boy, not a great figure.

The stickers I got in these boxes felt like they’re at the end of their lifespan. They came off of the sticker sheet alarmingly easily, and the driver sticker already came off once. I’m not crazy about waiting too long to get other figs stickered, if this is how long the adhesive can/will last. The good news is, super easy to decorate. Having done a Build form change already, the stickers are mostly the same shape and go in the same spots. Mostly repetition on this one.

The end result, though… a letdown. The red color used on the paint for Rabbit is all wrong, a darker matte red instead of a shiny metallic red. It looks more maroon in hand than I’d ever be happy with. The stickers on the eyes are an okay color, but they miss some of the detail on Rabbit, or it’s too light to really stand out. Worst of all (maybe worst of all, that red mismatch bugs the shit out of me) there’s no stand, despite including a sticker for a stand. What?! Which series did they start including the stands instead of some lame zero-articulation halfbody? I might use it to practice marker skills, but otherwise, I’ve got no use for this accessory, and now I'm going to have to find a stand for the figure at some point down the road.

Considering the lengths I went to get this tiny man, pretty bummed out. Nice to have a representation of RabbitTank to go with other Builds, but that’s about it.
