SHFiguarts ( Shinkocchou Seihou ) Kamen Rider No. 1 / Takeshi Hongo ( Kamen Rider THE NEXT )

Kamen Rider No. 1 (Kamen Rider THE NEXT), released in 2008 as the first release of the SHFiguarts brand, is now available as the 100th figure in the Shinkocchou Seihou series! Clear parts are used for the C-eyes on the mask. In addition to his slender proportions, the wrinkles on his entire body are sculpted to give a realistic finish to the texture of his special reinforced suit. In addition, the scars on his head mask from his battle with the secret organization Shocker are thoroughly reproduced using digital printing.

The different green colorings of the mask, chest (converter lung), gloves, boots, etc. are faithfully differentiated. The new structure of the movement, where the shoulders wrap around the torso, allows the characteristic poses of Kamen Rider No. 1 to be taken naturally. Soft parts are used for the collar, abdomen, and belt area. Designed with the assumption that the figure will be riding a motorcycle, the abdomen can slip under the belt to ensure a wide range of motion. It also allows for the reproduction of impressive battle scenes from the movie and a wide range of actions.

The muffler is made of cloth parts with wires. It can be used to express a wide variety of scenes, such as moments of intense action or when it flutters in the wind. In addition, an interchangeable head is included to recreate the mask-off state. A scan of Masaya Kikawada, who played Takeshi Hongo, was taken and the shape was reproduced based on the facial structure. Together with the materials from that time, Takeshi Hongo from the theatrical release is reproduced as a figure.
