Well well well look what finally came in after a 3 month surface mail journey from Zenmarket:



I took a chance on one of those "As is" Kamen Rider junk lots for ¥1.

Once I got it quoted for shipment I was astonished to see the price was so high (around $30 but I also added some non-toku stuff in the shipment). This was definitely the culprit:



The one thing I actually wanted from the lot! A giant light up Faiz figure, though I did not realize just how big it was when I ordered it (SHF Genm for scale, it was not part of the lot!)

A quick inventory shows:
- Fourze module set (I've been tracking prices for this on eBay and it seems like no one wants it for even $5 shipped!)
- a bunch of stickers which come with Ganbarazing cards



- Kamen Rider Sabaki Sofubi


- Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Final movie companion magazine and what looks like associated McDonalds toys. When you push Exx-Aid's belt in, he swings his hammer! Cute!


- a Decade & W DVD - seems like its from the Taisen movie.

- a bunch of random keychains. Now these I actually really like. They are prohibitive to import from Japan because they are usually only found in 7-Elevens. They are tiny Kamen Rider keychains of the rider and an associated tool (like a henshin belt or gimmick device or in Den-O's case, a tiny Momotaros. I actually have a complete Heisei phase 1 set except for Faiz . I put two of my own on the right still sealed). I'm super happy to get Double in this line because I always associate Phase 1 with Kuuga - Double. If anyone ever finds Faiz please let me know!!!

Also that little Double figure is holding a green sandal!

- a deck of Blade cards. It looks like some sort of card game. It has instructions and a playing mat. There were also some Ganbaride cards in there.


- Gashapon core medals candy toy ver. and buttabasol tokens


- Momotaros full bottle (appears empty so GP version?) and mini henshin devices.


- a set of Gaim mini figures. I am almost certain these are from a board game


- this array of figures. I actually like the Stronger figure a lot, its nice and heavy but if you look closely Tackle is missing an arm! I don't recall that happening in the show...

I'm gonna put that Skull figure on my luggage and see how long it takes before someone recognizes him.

- also 2 sets of Kamen Rider Wizard Driver DX belt parts. How random!


Was it worth it? Probably not because of the shipping. If I could've got the shipping to be more like $15-20 and not take 3 months... But I think this Faiz figure is pretty rare? Idk, but its one of my favorite designs so I'll take it! I'm planning to paint up some more details on it and wire it so it lights up permanently.



Update: The Faiz figure reeks of battery acid smell and has corrosion in the battery compartment. It's gonna take some effort to restore it
