You say that now, but just give it nine or ten years...

I see what you did there....
Still then he'd have a Blade kit that was accurate to Zi-O. All jokes aside, the use of clear plastic is great in the immediate, look wise, but yeah age really beats it to hell as a medium. Still theres nothing as long lasting that gives that clear look as clear plastic. Hopefully someday we'll engineer a clear material thats strong and clear indefinitely. Or at least you know better clear plastic. |

There's a lot going on here with these kits:-
First of all, the Ultra kits have a RIDICULOUSLY high amount of parts separation. They have a full demonstration of the torso and I genuinely can't tell where stickers would even go unless they're gonna do the same thing as Rider and put silver foil behind the eyes. They also actually come with a good loadout -- Trigger has his sword and his beam; while Zero has his Zero Sluggers in normal mode, in the large combined blade mode and the Zero Twin Shoot mode. He has an extra head without Sluggers to go along with them, and an alternate wrist with his Ultimate Bracelet. Both of them have extra red colour timers too. Given these are retailing for a little less than the Riders, I'd say that's some pretty damn good first impressions! Wish Zero had a beam too but he comes with more than enough Next up, Blade has SO MUCH going on! First of all they seem to have improved the leg articulation again? There's a sharper knee bend present. He has a full set of 10 Rouze Cards, and his Blay Rouzer has both an alternate shorter blade for the holstered belt (I don't think I've seen any other Blade figure do this!), and an alternate part for the full deck of cards around the Rouzer's handle. He also comes with a similar smashing-sword-into-the-ground effect piece as the SHF! Shockingly, the belt also has a fully-functional transformation gimmick and is able to turn like the DX!! Since I believe it wasn't posted yet, Blade releases in December for 4,070 Yen Finally, they're also releasing a Blade Effects Set on Premium Bandai later this year. They haven't got full details yet, but like SHODO it's to include massive cards to recreate the visuals for his attacks, and also has a lightning effect piece

Yes!! I have been waiting for this one.
Blade was the first Rider series that I was able to watch. Holds a special place as the series that pulled me into the world of "Toku" I can only hope they release his Jack & King forms along with Garren (and Jack form), Leangle, and Chalice (and Wild form). I wouldn't say no to Glaive, Larc, & Lance... |

Very happy for Blade. I'm liking how Bandai keeps design variety with these releases. From the very simple Black to the more detailed Blade means building these in release order doesn't feel repetitive.

I just finished the Kamen Rider Black kit, and I'm a little disappointed in it. It just seems a little cheap compared to other releases.
The build was easy enough, but I had two parts (silver face piece and red ankle piece) break on me without much to cause a break. Another thing that annoyed me was the amount of black stickers. It's a super easy fix with paint, but it seems like it could have been easy enough to use black pieces in their place. It's not like they didn't already have a black runner. One of the stickers really confused me. It's a silver sticker that covers the silver piece at the bottom of the torso. I think it was meant to make the piece appear matte instead of shiny like the runner it comes on... But they have a couple of glossy black parts on the black runner separate from the matte parts, so it doesn't make sense why they didn't just matte the silver part instead of using a sticker. I think that all stands out more when the kit doesn't have any weapons or effect parts or a bunch of different colored runners. It's all a pretty basic kit that feels like it should have and could have done more.

I don’t see a problem with the black line stickers. Maybe they could’ve done black rings on the ankles, but the lines on the head and collar would’ve been way too thin.
I will agree the sticker for the belly band makes no sense. On the show costume it’s like an odd, mildly iridescent pink band. Why they’d put a white sticker over that makes no sense. I also think the mould line on the shoulders is pretty inexcusable. Other than that I think the kit is really good. I painted the mouth on mine to be darker as well as painting the chest logo white along with the aforementioned light metallic pink belly band. I think it’s a really solid kit overall. |

Is FRS Black compatible with the Decadriver?
