Genbu Shinwa (玄武神話, Genbu Shinwa) is Buster's black tortoise-based primary form accessed by using the Genbu Shinwa Wonder Ride Book in the Dogouken Gekido.

SHFiguarts Masked Rider Buster Genbu Shinwa Review

Head

The design has a very different atmosphere from other Saber riders, such as the blade protruding from the forehead and the shape of the compound eyes. The compound eye is painted from the top of the clear parts, and the inside is transparent only in the center part.

Body

Almost new modeling, heavier armor than other riders, faithfully reproduces the rugged body shape. The body is made to be more rugged in width and thickness than others, and the body shape in the play is reproduced. The painting of the armor was accurate and the texture was good. The belt is a sword of logos buckle. Unlike Saber, there is no gimmick.

Arms and Legs

This area also has a slightly tighter form than the others. The design is also more complicated than Saber, but it was precisely modeled. back.

Option set and Accessories

Dogouken Gekido is also made large as in the play, and the power is perfect. The patterned ride book is removable. The sword was reproduced by painting even the colors of small parts such as blades and handles.

The sword can be carried on the back as in the play. When carrying the sword on his back, the parts on his back are replaced and the sword's ridebook is attached to the removed hole. The physique is heavy, but the height is not so different.

Movability and Articulation

It's a lot harder than other Saber riders, but the joints are almost the same, so the movement is almost the same. Since the handle is short, you can't basically hold it with both hands, and when you want to hold the sword with both hands, you can use it with a flat hand to deceive it. The hip joint is a pull-out type like other Saber riders, but the making is a little different, so if you do not grasp the root, the thigh may come off.

Since the shoulder armor can be flipped up, it is possible to have a large upper tier, but it was a bit cramped because the body was thick and hard to reach. When I swing the sword down with both hands, it feels like my elbows bend. Make a big cut using the explosion effect. Because there was a scene where friends were broken, it was also Saber.

Summary

This is the review of SHFiguarts Kamen Rider Buster Genbu Shinwa. The body shape is much more comfortable than other Saber riders, and as usual, the head is made with precision and the paint and texture of each part are good, so it looks very cool.

The physique is rugged, but the movement is almost the same as usual, the movements in the play can be reproduced almost like, and the appearance is unique, so it was interesting with freshness.
