This is review of SHFiguarts Kamen Rider Build Genius Form, an action figure Tamashii Nation x Bandai from Masked Rider Build series.

SHF Masked Rider Build Genius Form Review

The final form with full satisfaction. Although it is a specially complicated design, it is precisely reproduced such as bottles all over the body and has a flashy finish as in the play.

Head

The eyes are a lot of stretched bottles and it's quite strange. The clear parts have a gradation and look beautiful. The circle with the same design as the belt had a gradation inside and was beautiful.

Body

The circle on the chest is also painted so that the inside of the clear parts emits light, and it is very flashy including the surrounding metallic. The lever of the belt moves as usual, and the bottle can be attached and detached.

Arms and Legs

A bottle is tightly stuck in the entire arm and knee, and this area is also strange. The body shape itself was the same as the others. The head and legs are also asymmetrical, and the warm and cool colors are alternated.

Option set and Accessories

Full bottle buster. This was the same as the one that came with Rabbit Rabbit. The back side. The grip part is movable and can be transformed from Buster Cannon mode to Buster Blade mode. Hazard trigger is also included as a bonus part. The appearance in episode 45 can be reproduced. It is much more flashy than the previous forms. With the final forms before and after. It is a mystery when the ghost Mugen soul will come out.

Movability and Articulation

As usual, a wrist for a fixed pose is included. Since the joints are made in the same way as the previous build system, the movement is almost the same. However, the grounding property was considerably better than that of the rabbit tank.

With hazards attached. Bottles grow in each part, but there is almost no interference and there is no effect on movement. Of course there is no porori. Equipped with full bottle buster. Transformed into Buster Blade mode. You can also hold both hands.

He was a person who moved well even though he had a collar around his neck. As usual, a handle for the lever is also included. It's a little cramped, but the hip joint is a pull-out type so you can stand on your knees. Transformed by 4 people. Confrontation with Evolto. Both are quite flashy, so the impression is that they look pictorial. Also with black hole form.

Summary

This is the review of SHFiguarts Kamen Rider Build - Genius Form. It was a common pattern and only the final form was delayed considerably, but it was finally released almost 4 years after the end of the broadcast. The result is as good as the build system so far, the proportions etc. are good, the strange design with the bottle stuck in the whole body is shaped as the image, the coloring based on white is beautifully reproduced by painting, and the movement is perfect. It was a highly complete content that was worth the wait.
