It better should be Kiva - my all time favorite Rider.
I hope that they will release all the FRS final forms. |

I do hope Kiva is next, but I'm glad he and Gaim are some of the last ones. They're far and away some of the more complicated base suits to create as a kit with their surface-level linework. I assume Gaim will have a lot of stickers.
They definitely were fake. Some were even previously teased/known releases, like Permit Score 6 Aerial, adding to credibility. But aside from things like Forbidden Gundam (which, let's be honest, was a pretty good guess given it's the last member of the team) most of it was wrong. |

Also, I assembled Shin Kamen Rider.
It's frustratingly good. I say frustratingly because it's actually potentially a fantastic kit. I elected to leave out the hair and paint the skin black. The few silver pieces are pre-painted, the construction is solid and is one of the few FRS kits that feels almost like an action figure when built. The elbows and knees especially have very well-designed, natural bends. Also the sculpted textures are phenomenal. But there's very little accessories. A single extra scarf, a single pair of chopping hands. It's really weak. He needed bare minimum some relaxed open hands, and ideally some splayed hands for grabbing poses. It severely limits posing options for a kit that's this well articulated, and no gripping hands means a hypothetical Shin Cyclone will need to come with an extra green runner with gripping had parts. I have a feeling Bandai intentionally left the hand options out so as not to compete too much with the SHF. As it is it's still very well designed and articulated, but display options are annoyingly limited. |

The lack of hand options is really strange and one of the turning points for me going for the SHF instead. It's a shame because the kit looks absolutely gorgeous

That's gorgeous. Shame about the driver's sticker. I secretly hoped it'd be parts separated for easy painting.
Interesting that the forehead gem is a sticker. There must be now yellow/gold plastic on this kit. |
