It’s designed by that fashion guy Mastermind. They showed a picture of him with the first Ichigo figure and the dude was wearing an all black outfit. He lives the gimmick. So it’s black because that Mastermind guy wanted it to be black.

Even if this was made from up cycled plastic, any savings would be countered by the other manufacturing and assembly processes.

I see, I see.

The first pics that surfaced online after release made me feel a bit uneasy about this one, but having it in-hand quickly turned that around, Shin Kamen Rider is fantastic. The base figure is amazing and the coat looks much better than I anticipated. Perfect? Far from it. There are 1/12 soft goods that work a whole lot better than this. But still - the dynamic it brings to the figure is so nice, even in just basic poses.

I feel like people who already have him on the way don't need a recommendation, but I definitely think this is a good one to get. Maybe they'll make another version with more accessories and stuff because this one only comes with a few sets of hands, so a better package down the road could be fun.

I am lucky to grab one with Hobby Genki at the original price (before the pre-order discount as I didn't preorder) last week as the price seems to jump now.
