Although to me Accel never quite worked for Ryu, and to me Ryu never quite worked for W, Accel Trial to me is the ultimate upgrade form. It isn't just that it's my favourite upgrade, and that it's cool as all hell - but both are true, but for probably the first time ever it just feels right, it feels like Accel could never upgrade into anything else.



When you see Bruce Lee punch with planets, the most logical step up in your mind surely isn't super saiyan armed with a curtain rail and a beyblade. When you see Phantom chomping dice roller, the most logical step up in your mind surely isn't Ultimate Warrior tassels and a nerf gun with a compact in it. But when you think of Accel, there is just nothing that fits better than Trial. That is why I love him.

Sadly - as we've already established with this line, Kamen Rider W SHFs leave a lot to be desired. And all you need is one glance at the box art to realise that Accel Trial isn't really all that accurate. He isn't quite broken - all of the W SHFs are perfectly fine on passing if they're just chilling there on your shelf or whatever - but for a series and line of figures that seem to give the community hard ons powerful enough to flip tables he is pretty disappointing. Luckily I got him REALLY cheap. And a representation on my shelf is better than none, I suppose.
