This sculpture is sick than the previous version! Even though it's stil a bit skinny, not as bulky like in the film.. I have the renewal version and thank God it's still poseable and not cracking..
D, I gotta say you, Robo, Shartimus, Jobby, and Toy Bro are the best RU-vid toy reviewers. Your content, in particular, back me back into Kamen Rider, and played a part in me rediscovering my love of small plastic representation of fictional characters taking me back to the happy times of my youth viewed through rose tinted glasses. I love you videos. Keep doing you. Much love bruh
What amazes me more about this review is your knowledge of the show itself. As a 90's Asian Kid, KR Black was our first foray to the Kamen Rider series. And it's awesome that someone from the west (probably) actually has knowledge about our childhood hero. Props to you, sir.
It's been really enjoy watching your videos talking most about s.h.figuarts kamen rider figures, I really amazed by how you pose all the figures so awesomely while reviewing it at the same time, also really do enjoy the photo shooting at the end of all videos, the most importantly, after watching your reviews, it help my purchase decisions on the kamen rider figures i wanted to collect, at last like/appreciate your quote at the end "be good, do good and drink your water guys" 👍👍👍
Really do hope your Black holds up for the long run. Another issue with the soft goods on the shoulders is that keeping them in a pose for too long can mess with their longevity. Outside of that he looks absolutely fantastic. Really struggling with going in on him knowing he probably can't be played with that much and risk any potential QC issues or just holding out with my 2.0...
Nice review as always bro. I gave mine a hot bath so it could move better and made the joints soft on my video that made me get maximum articulations 😊
Honestly the 2.0 version looks like Tetsuo Kurata in the Kamen Rider Black costume instead of the stuntman. Edit: We now need riders from Black RX. Can't wait to see how they're gonna make the neck work.
I watched very little of the Kamen Rider series, especially once MMPR debuted in the US, but D really is making me want to get into it after watching these Reviews, Loved the Vid
Check it out! Google TokuSHOUTsu and you can watch all of Kuuga for free. It’s a pretty good series to start with. If you don’t mind looking around a little harder, Kamen Rider W is also a great series for newcomers. It was my first
After implementing the time bomb that is the new elbow and knee joint system that was first used on SHF SS KR OOO on almost all newer SHF SS figures, Bandai decided to reward us with another mess: the shoulder joint cover. Several people mentioned the possibility of it being made of silicone, which, if true, is another Captain Picard facepalm. Why on earth they use silicone? They've used thin, flexible PVC plastics as the go-to material for flexible parts, like SHF KR Zi-O Ohma's sash. It's the time-proven material. Instead they use silicone, a material known to be less resistant to mechanical fatigue, especially compared to PVC plastics. Why fix it if it's not broken? So now we have 3 points of failure. With the soon to be released SHF SS Ultraman Tiga, which very probably will feature flexible abdoment joint cover made of the same material as SHF SS KR Black's shoulder joint cover, we'll get 4 points of failure. Is Bandai purposefully denying reality here? Why do they keep making these anti-consumer moves? Are they implementing planned obsolescence "feature" with these points of failure, like a certain mobile phone brand do? Or do they think because once consumers are emotionally hooked on a character/show/IP, they will buy whatever crap they put out? *slow clap* Great move, Bandai. :P
If shadowmoon gets an upgrade hope they include a sheath for the satan saber and battle hopper really needs a 3.0 version or use the mold of build bike machinebuilder
those issue might be related to how the owner play with the figure as well. sh*t you're right I think bandai planning on releasing new battle hopper. dayuum, and I already bought fujimi 1/12 battle hopper 😭
My collection of the renewals is growing. My latest ones over the passed few months; Black, Dark Kiva, Eternal, Decade Complete, Joker, Kuuga Dragon Form, and Ixa. Kuuga Mighty 50th anniversary I'm getting for Christmas.
The problem with the KRB figure has always been his head antennas. Or antennae. They just couldn't get the 'thinness' of the real thing on the figure. Once you see it you just couldn't unsee it. They look way too thick on the figure version. Yes we KNOW it's a tiny action figure and there are 'technical challenges' with making realistic thin antennae, but they should figure out a way as their figures aren't cheap and customers are willing to pay. And this is already their 3rd (?) try so you think they'd have figured it out by now! This is the reason I've not gotten a KRB figure. I have instead Shadow Moon and am totally satisfied with it.
Big D has come through with most anticipated and controversial figure! The last KR Decade had paint inconsistencies so I’m not surprised with decline in quality. I see a bunch of these being “throw” by resellers atm.
Nice review but bring back to the old memories I knew Kamen Rider Black when I was kid I’ve always watched on tv but only in Indonesia version is called “Ksatria Baja Hitam”
It looks impressive, but for almost 100 USD, I really can't find myself justifying the price to be worth buying it. Might be better to just find the 2.0 Black which is half the price (though Shadow Moon still expensive as hell).
Hi, would like to check the update on your kamen rider black regarding the rubber part of the arm. I am purchasing one and hope you could give me an advice about the figure aside from your video. Kamen Rider Black is one of my fave 80's anime figure😊
honestly the rubber part cracking is turning me off so bad, i hope bandai take this into consideration for future figures since this looks like an issue that would happen either way when you pose it over time
Did bluefin ever officially release this figure here?!? Seems like preorders were never offered (except via unofficial import) for this or the upcoming Ultraman tiga
Ding🎶Oh a new D review! Mythic Legions? No.. Kamen Rider ..oh well still fun.....(audible exhale) 🔎Amazon JP 🔎Kamen Rider Black💸💸💸😭 Damn you RU-vid notifications!!
