Kamen Rider Birth






What a great suit! I love Gachapon toys and a Kamen Rider with a Gachapon motif is truly awesome. That it is one of the closest things we have to a Metal Hero suit is even better.

With all the clear parts on the suit, this is clearly a premium Bandai product. Though I'm surprised the hands are still the old peg type. But we do get closed fists hands, which are just the best.

As for paint, the Birth suit was painted with gun metal on the belt, gold on the wrist, ankles, and belt, and just a little panel lining on the helmet. Surprisingly little paint needed for this one.

The Birth CLAWs on the other hand I used metallic paint in each of the colors and gunmetal on the Caterpillar Leg threads. I actually fully painted the guns but they didn't look so great, so I used stickers on top of them. It's a great effect that I've used on previous SO-DO weapons so it matches fine. Also while taking these pictures I realized the Breast Cannon handles could be safely drilled out so I drilled out the handle section and you can just barely fit his thumb in there. Also also the cannon barrel was drilled out. There's definitely a peg there, so I had to use a little glue to keep it together.

Such a great suit. Now if Bandai could hurry up and make a Birth suit in the Converge line. Oh and a Seihou. I would buy those.
