REVIEW SHFiguarts Kamen Rider Saber Primitive Dragon, Bandai

4 May, 2023

This is review of Bandai action figure SHFiguarts Masked Rider Saber Primitive Dragon from Kamen Rider Saber series.

SHFiguarts Masked Rider Saber Primitive Dragon Review

At first glance, the silhouette is similar to other SHFiguarts Kamen Rider Saber, but the design is very different, so the modeling is almost new.

Head

It is similar to the SHF Kamen Rider Saber Brave Dragon, but this one is symmetrical and the shape of the flame around the eyes changes. It is a rare impression that the compound eyes are not colored. The painting is as polite as before, and the shape of the blade protruding from the forehead is also sharp.

Body

The design emphasizes the bones as a whole, and there are three claws on the chest. A picture of Brave Dragon is printed on the left chest. The belt gimmick is the same as before, and the Primitive Dragon Wonder Ride Book is loaded. The detail of the book is also precise.

Arms and Legs

The limbs are designed to look like bare bones, and the dragon on the right shoulder is also ossified. It features an eerie design that seems to be a runaway form. The shoulders are asymmetrical like Kamen Rider Saber Brave Dragon.

Weaponry and Accessories set

The sword is common with other SHFiguarts Kamen Rider Saber. Like the Dragonic Knight, the blade is painted metallic. As usual, the sword for the belt is also included. The silhouettes are similar, but there was almost no common part.

Movability and Articulation

Movement is almost the same as the Saber system so far. You can also take a forward leaning posture in a runaway state, and a wrist that holds the blade as in the play is also included. The neck and waist can be turned around and the sword can be swung flashy. It was also very grounded. As usual, the shoulders can be pulled out slightly.

Summary

The body modeling is good as usual, the unique bone motif design is reproduced as good as imagined, and the color reproduction is high and the finish is high.

The articulation is as good as SHF Kamen Rider Saber so far, and the accessories such as the handle that can hold the blade that can reproduce the action in the play are also neat.
