While the figure isn't exactly amazing, I do like that they made figures of civilian modes.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen this show, but man, that figure is top notch. I really hope these are selling well enough to make more. I would love to get some more recent riders.

I really like the idea of doing civilian figures. It's just really cool. I think some of the faults with the articulation probably lie with trying to preserve the sculpt of his suit or just what a real human would be limited to. Which I've never really liked when it's done, because these are still action figures so I'm fine with things like a bicep cut so you can actually do something with the arms.

The idea of unmasked heroes certainly isn't bad but I can't see this line going beyond the most iconic figures in the genre when instead it should be used to bring secondary characters to live that were crucial to the show they appeared in but never transformed themselves.
Maybe there will be a market for that but I kinda doubt it. And hearing that the very first figure suffers from sub-par articulation is not the start I had envisioned for these. I do hope that Retsu Ichijojo and Takeshi Hongo turn out better, however. I pre-ordered neither as I have no real use for unmasked heroes but since I want them to expand to secondary characters I hope they do well regardless. |

I really like him, but I agree on the articulation. Pretty sure Retsu and Hongo are going to turn out the same as well because they used the same joints on Star Lord. Tamashii have for some reason opted not to do the double-jointed elbows and knees for uncostumed humans, which I can only presume is to make them more "human" even if it is detrimental to the figure.

I love that they did some civilian figures like this one. I could probably think of a few I'd like to see done like this (although I know that's not going to happen for any character but the most iconic.)

Looks good! I would want Hayata, and other SSSP members from the original show.
