Bandai SHFiguarts SS Masked Rider W Cyclone Joker Xtreme Review

In addition to modeling that is close to the actual suit that seems to be the true value, the hologram feeling of the crystal server has also increased, making it look much better than the previous version.

Head

In the previous version, the inner black line was thin and unpopular, but this time it is as thick as in the play, and the compound eyes are just as I imagined. The X character, which is a major feature, is also sharply shaped. The hologram in the center is also beautiful because it seems to have been specially painted.

Body

The width and thickness of the body shape are also realistic. The crystal server has a clear surface and the inner mold is precisely molded. The double driver on the belt is loaded with Gaia Bird Extreme Memory. This model painting is also very precise. It was possible to put on and take off by closing the left and right wings. The belt is the same as other double drivers.

Arms and Legs

Similar to other Kamen Rider W, the figure is slightly slender. The green on the right side was a color similar to the Kamen Rider W: Cyclone Joker Fuuto Detective Animation Commemorative Edition.

Option and Accessories set

Only 5 Gaia memories (Cyclone, Luna, Heat, Joker, Prism) are up. Equipped with Prism Sword and Bicker Shield. Unlike the old version, the blade part is a clear part. The details of the blade are also precise. Prism memory can be loaded at the rear end of the handle.

When removing, remove the handle once and push it out from the inside with the attached stick. Bicker shield is also greatly improved from the old version. Individual differences or the thin silver parts in the center were easy to come off, so be careful. back side. Four slots can be loaded with Cyclone, Luna, Heat, and Joker memories.

It is also possible to store the sword in the shield and make it a prism bicker. As usual, the evolution from the previous version was amazing. The green is close to the Fuuto Tantei version with a strong metallic feel.

Movability and Articulation

The holographic feel of the Bicker Shield is also strong, creating an atmosphere as if it were emitting light from the illumination. The movement is almost the same as Kamen Rider W: Cyclone Joker, but maybe because of the special construction, the joints were tight and made a creaky sound.

Also, for some reason, the upper arm roll of the right arm is like a click joint, and it can only rotate at intervals of 30 to 40 degrees, making it difficult to fine-tune.

Prism break using the Danbine effect. This time, the Gaia Bird Extreme Memory is detachable and movable, so it is possible to have Cyclone Joker hold it. Gold Extreme will probably come out, but at that time there might be an Eternal XX commemorative edition.

Summary

It's one of the best arts ever made, and it's made with a special paint job. It was finished with a high degree of perfection. The movement was a little messy overall and the right upper arm roll was strange, but it doesn't affect the movement in the play so much, and the options and gimmicks are true. It was elaborate and there was no big dissatisfaction to that extent in terms of play.
