Bandai Action Figure SHFiguarts Battle Hopper [ Kamen Rider BLACK SUN ] Review

A military-like cool design that is very different from the old black battle hopper, which had a strong sense of life. Precise molding with a lot of information in every corner and calm texture with matte are faithfully reproduced.

Like other bikes, it can stand on its own using a stand. front and back. As usual, the steering wheel and the front wheel are linked. From above. from below. There was no stand hole.

SHF Battle Hopper

Compound eye headlights are reproduced with clear parts. The warping of the antenna part was also carefully sculpted. Instruments were also precisely reproduced. The engine parts are also precise. It looks very different from the old black battle hopper, which had a toy-like design. The seat part is molded color, so there is no need to worry about color transfer.

The bandage that wraps around the muffler is also precisely reproduced. The spring was exposed and stretched when pushed. front wheel. The making of tires is also precise. The same goes for the rear wheels.

Option and Accessories set

It comes with a pedestal and can stand even when the stand is raised. A replacement red-eye head and a replacement left chest part for Black Sun are included. The replacement head is in a state where the eyes glow red at the end of the play.

The clear parts and paint made it shine so brightly that I thought it was a light-up gimmick. A left chest part with a raised mark is also included. The sense of scale was also the same as in the play. loaded state. A wrist for the handle is also included. The front cowl has a little remnant, but it's almost a different thing.

Movability and Articulation

Since the movement of the main body of Black Sun is good, it is possible to put it on without difficulty. In the play, I was impressed with how he rode in his pre-transformation form, but the OP of the final episode was so intense that even after the transformation, the impression is that it fits perfectly. It is said that Hidetoshi Nishijima's Kotaro Minami, which will be released at a later date, can also be put on properly.

There is no stand hole, so there is nothing to do but float with a clip. In the movie, he has mostly black eyes, but personally, I think the red eyes are cool because they have the blackness of the old days. Even just the main body using the replacement head and chest.

Summary

The military-style design, which is very different from the old black battle hopper, has been faithfully reproduced, and the details such as the precision and matte paintwork are sober, and the finish is very cool. I also liked the fact that it came with a red-eye head for Black Sun, which I personally wanted.
