[Kamen Rider Die]

I built a new friend today! He's a total asshole and I love him. It's Kamen Rider Genm!








If you've built the Ex-Aid kit, you basically know what you're in for. Solid build that's super-straightforward, this time with way less colors of plastic. Also, still an I Hope You Like Stickers amount of stickers. I went with the "marker stickers" this time, instead of the normal shiny stickers. (Both are provided, just like with Ex-Aid.) It's... I like it? It definitely is a lot more subtle, to the degree that I'm not sure you can tell how many purple stickers there are on him. It's a lot! But since they're more transparent (I assume to mimic the use of markers on plastic), they don't pop as much as you may expect/want. If you want a more purple Genm, use the normal stickers. If you want a blacker Genm, try the marker stickers.

Now, you may be asking, "Hey, Kamen Rider Die. I thought Genm comes with his Bugvisor? Why didn't you take any pictures of that?" To this hypothetical person I would say OH MY GOD I TRIED AND IT ALMOST KILLED ME.

See, the hand that holds the Bugvisor is two pieces: the hand, and the thumb that closes the grip. The problem is the thumb lodges in not super tight, and the Bugvisor handle is as large as grip, so every time the Bugvisor tilts even slightly the thumb detaches and the Bugvisor falls out. The Bugvisor is too heavy (and off-center enough) to stay in the grip of the hand. I'm going to glue the grip shut around the handle later tonight, and I'll maybe take pictures then. For now, the process of keeping the hand in one piece around the handle was the most aggravating thing I've ever experienced with a Figure-Rise kit.

Moving on!





Here's Genm with Ex-Aid. I used the normal stickers on Ex-Aid, as opposed to the marker stickers I used on Genm. I think they look pretty good together!
