Imagine how awesome this would have been if it wasn't leaked in full literally a day ago...

I mean, he's not my favorite but I'll grab him when the time comes.

There's a small blog post for Shadow Moon too, basically the hopper legs on the feet are articulated and the pistons are interchangeable for a walking pose. They tried incorporating actual moving pistons for a fully automated gimmick but the scale is too small for that too work properly.

That is such a small detail that I wouldn't spot myself! Very cool.

I haven't seen Black but do Shadow Moon's grasshopper leg and feet pistons move when he walks?

Not really, but I assume concept art has him supposed to move it like that.

Yup. Basically, the hopper legs are on pistons that extend beyond the feet so when the suit actor puts his feet on the ground the pistons move up and take the hopper legs with them. It's a pretty cool effect, with a really nice sound effect attached to it.

Hoping SS Shadow Moon doesn't have rubber parts, was gonna get SS Kamen Rider Black but the cracking puts me off.

Oh. Must have misremembered or looked at more action-y scenes since he was running and walking around and they weren't moving at all.

Seems like he doesn't have any so far. And even then, if he does have it on his armpit like black, I think it's easy enough to replace with cloth unlike Black.

Damn, all this talk about Shadowmoon is kinda itching me to want one too to go with RX.
