I mean yeah it totally sucks with the cape and hands, but still leagues better than the old shf and i think a wired cape could be made. Wizards skirt design is pretty basic.

Oof just realized the skirt pieces are whats holding the ring holders and there are alternative bent ring holders on the bent skirt pieces.

Naturally! This is a much better option than the old SHF and WAP figure, just there's things about it that were never going to be fantastic. I think it'll end up one of the lesser FRS Rider kits through no fault of its own

Overall looks quite good, though the lack of hands is disappointing, wish they could've at least included fists. The painted rings are cool though, and I'm glad not to have to do silver eye stickers for him. It's a shame that we've slowed down to one figure per event after Skull and FangJoker were announced, otherwise we might've been getting our last Heisei Rider now.

I do wonder if Wizard will get a Blade style effects set, with more hands and some of his magic effects.

Wizard coming without fists is fine to me, given that he never punches anyone outside of the finale.

Might have seemed like things slowed down with how they did some events, but FRS Rider has kept to a very consistent release schedule of 5 figures at retail per year since 2021; and consistently all split up to different seasons of the year. You'll probably see the next event or the one after it reveal two Heisei Riders depending on how they distribute the rest of the 2023 releases

Wizard was always going to be a difficult kit and I think this one is still going to need a lot of help, but it looks quite good so far. The painted rings are definitely a relief.

I'm actually surprised there wasn't an effect part already included.

Wizard looks good. I knew his design was going to need paint for the rings and other small details, and I knew the coat was going to be plastic but I'm pleasantly surprised we have optional billowing pieces. Fabric was never going to be an option given the silver trim.

I see that you?re right, but it feels weird getting three events with only one reveal in a row when before we would?ve had mostly events with double reveals, even if the actual release pattern is the same.

Just because they started doing more events, really

Most of the kits here are announced via an event like Hobby Next Phase except Black, he's just announced out of nowhere
