This is review of Bandai Action Figure SHFiguarts (Shinkocchou Seihou) Masked Rider V3 from Kamen Rider V3 series.

SHFiguarts SS Masked Rider V3 Review

The balance is close to Shin No. 1 and No. 2 with good fleshy proportions that seem to be the true value. The characteristic green color was also roughly the same as in the play.

Head

The old version of the head was also good, but the outline and the size of the eyes were adjusted, and the reproducibility was higher. Colors such as where the area around the mask is gray are also reproduced in detail. The antenna is also thin and finished with a sense of precision.

Body

The body seems to be the true value and has a thickness close to the actual suit. The more flashy fuselage design than Shin No. 1 No. 2 is reproduced without discomfort. The belt's double typhoon is also precisely modeled and painted. The black of the windmill, which was not painted in the old version, is also painted exactly. V3 hopper on left hip.

Arms and Legs

This area is a little thicker as usual. The length itself was the same as the old version. The left and right mufflers are wired and can be moved freely. Movable can swing greatly both neck and waist.

The muffler interferes with the shoulder, but it was possible to raise it to near horizontal. The elbows and knees can be bent deeply, and the hip joints can be moved widely forward and backward. It was also very grounded.

Option set and Accessories

An empty holder after removing the item from the waist is also included. New No. 1 and No. 2. Almost the same size and shape. The head was slightly larger than the two. I lost the grip hand, so it's flat, but it's also the old version. As usual, the body shape is more realistic than before.

Movability and Articulation

The movement is good as usual, and the neck and waist can be rotated. The area around the hip joint is flexible, and the hem is made of soft material, so you can raise your legs high. Kneeling is also natural.

Summary

The proportions are almost exactly the same as in the play, and the special design of the head is precisely reproduced to the exact same level, making it very cool. Although there are no fancy drawer gimmicks or anything like that, everything is good, and it was able to reproduce most of the special moves and signature poses in the play.
