Ugh, the hair still looks super weird. I wonder if the head can be built without it, then I can just paint the neck black and act like it's a proper, enclosed suit?

Just curious, but is it the visible hair in general that you dislike or the specific implementation of it on this kit?

Both. I dislike any exposed body on Kamen Rider/Sentai suits (unless it's battle damage) since it, to me, defeats the purpose of a full-body suit to leave such a vulnerable part exposed and dilutes the idea that the character is completely transformed, not merely wearing a costume. I also think it looks silly.

Entirely separate from that, however, I just think the hair here is incredibly poorly done. It's flat, featureless, and looks less like actual hair and more like a cartoon mop head. They went to such lengths creating different textures on the suit and did nothing to make the hair look even a tiny bit convincing.

So for anyone getting the shin kamen rider 1 kit, a Japanese fan posted that painting behind the eyes with a new white gundam marker gives it a more suit accurate look.

Big list of upcoming Bandai kits leaked, and among them is Kiva. Original Heisei will soon be complete!

I think I might go silver. White looks too bright, and I've come to realize the chrome/reflective backing doesn't quite catch the light the way you'd think beneath the eyes. Silver usually makes them look more like the Figuarts.

Who told you it was Kiva?

Tiga is also a really cool pick to see, albeit a surprising one -- we just had not just Trigger and Decker but also Manga/Anime Evil Tiga, so you'd think they'd try and mix it up a little with someone not quite as similar? Lots of popular options too like Z or Seven.

But! It's still really cool, especially with the Seihou's issues. Finally a good Tiga figure who you can give his beam effect to without the fear of god

A solution of sorts for those of you who don't like the plastic hair on FRS Shin Kamen Rider.

That's hilarious yet perfect.
