REVIEW SHFiguarts Kamen Rider Ark Zero & Ark Effect Parts Set, Bandai

26 Oct, 2022

This is review of action figure Bandai SHFiguarts Kamen Rider Ark Zero & Ark Effect Parts Set, a movable figure model from Masked Rider Zero One series.

SHFiguarts Masked Rider Ark Zero & Ark Effect Parts Set Review

At first glance, the shape resembles Zero One, but the head and chest are half-broken, and the color is black and eerie.

Head

Left and right asymmetry, the left side has a painful appearance as if the exterior was peeled off and the internal mechanism was exposed. The color of the eyes is also asymmetrical. It was very precisely modeled, such as mechanical details. The antenna is hard, so be careful not to damage it.

Body

The chest is also cracked, the pipe is exposed, and it is tattered. The sculpting and painting is also precise around here. The belt is also a new model with Zero Ark drivers.

Arms and Legs

Arms have thicker armor than Zero-One, and shoulder pipes are exposed. The legs are almost the same as Zero One, only the ankles are changed. The shoulders are asymmetrical and the left shoulder has no pipe. The left shoulder armor was attached to the main body instead of the arm, so it was a little easy to remove. Each pipe is made of soft material.

Option set and Accessories

AIMS shot riser is the same as the one attached to Vulcan's Shooting Wolf. Attache shotgun is still same. Attache Arrow is the same as the annihilation version.

Replacement lever parts and a right wrist for drawing arrows are also included. Two Pieces Ark effect is also included is an aura-like effect sheet with cursed characters that appear when a special move is activated. The non-armored torso and non-ankle legs were common.

Movability and Articulation

The left shoulder armor is a little easy to come off, but the joints are the same as the Zero-One series so far, so the movement is almost the same. The joints are stiff and can stand on its own even when standing on one leg. Grounding is generally good. If you borrow from others, you can also use two pistols in the middle of the play.

Summary

Thats the review of a Bandai action figure SHFiguarts Masked Rider Ark Zero & Ark Effect Parts Set from Kamen Rider Zero One series. The Zero One series feels like it's coming to an end, but Ark Zero, the boss character in the latter half of the story, will be released as a new work for the first time in half a year.

Although it resembles Rising Hopper, it is dyed black and has an eerie design that looks like the head and chest have been partially destroyed. In addition to the weapons, it even comes with impressive effects, making it highly satisfying.
