The Super Review Wars DX has begun and CollectionDX shall rain death upon you! Or reviews. Or just this one.

So yeah, here we have S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black RX! For those of you who are more familiar with Saban’s 1990’s offerings, this was the Masked RiDER, the heroic prince Dex from the planet Edenoi!

Praise Ferbus, this packaging is fantastic. I love all the nice details here.

Out of the package, you can see that there is a WHOLE lot of great detail here, from the paint to the sculpt. There are also some gorgeous compound eyes on the head.

I also love how the toy has details the suit did, like wrinkles and zippers. It just makes it feel way more intense.

Speaking of intense, check out the articulation on this little fella.

He has double ball-jointed everything forever. If it should be possible to put a human into a pose, then this figure can do it. It’s just spectacular.

The Masked Rider also comes with all the accessories he could ever need, including six pairs of hands! He has fists, holding-things hands, posing hands, utility hands, splayed hands, and KARATE CHOP hands. He also comes with 2 versions of his Revolcane (or Electro Sabre, praise Ferbus). One version is metal-colored and the other is an opaque blue. That way you can mix and match the hilt and blades to create every possible scenario for slicing fools.

He also comes with an extra belt that the blue hilt attaches to so you can replicate whipping it out in public.

Just look at this, man.

I love this figure. If you’re a huge Kamen Rider or Saban’s Masked Rider fan (praise Ferbus), then you owe it to yourself to pick one of these up!

Also, please check out www.collectiondx.com and see where I normally post my reviews!

Until next time, mortals.

PRAISE FERBUS

Companies attending SDCC to peddle their wares often have a whole host of exclusive goodies to give away or to sell you and since I’m not in any position to attend, I thought I’d give my thoughts on a few items that I’d love to own personally. First up; DOMO-KUUUUUUUN!

Funko Booth #5343 – Metallic Domo Batman
Funko is always on hand to peddle more variant vinyls than you can shake a stick at, this year alone has so many that I’ve lost count. Has to be around 50-60 at least but this one caught my eye for a number of reasons. Firstly, Domo, because Domo is always funny and because it’s Domo dressed as Batman. SOLD. With numerous Pop Vinyls from TV, Movies, Comics and Pop Culture, I’m sure you’ll find one to tickle your particular fancy.

Bluefin Tamashii Nations Booth 3545 – S.H. Figuarts Power Rangers Samurai Metallic Figure Set
Boy, that’s a mouthful. I love S.H. Figuarts (despite not owning any) for their articulation, generous accesories and overall aesthetic. This set includes complete team of Rangers (many of whom had never seen a regular retail release in the US), with all their extras and accesories from their respective single releases and in a shiny Metallic paint? How can you pass up such a great set of figures for the sum of $200. It may seem steep but importing the regular female Rangers can command that price alone sometimes so it’s a damn good deal!

Hasbro Booth 3329 – Marvel Universe Deadpool Corps Special Edition Figure Set
Deadpool is big, tacos are delicious and exclusives are awesome. Throw them all together and you have a 6-‘Pool team of figures in exclusive taco-shaped packaging and a lovely Mexican food truck box to keep them in. Granted this is an extremely silly exclusive set for the sum of $49.99 but that’s why I love it so! Chimichangas!

LEGO Booth 2829 – Marvel and DC Superheroes Minifigures
Did you really expect anything less from me? LEGO released a bunch last year and this year they have 4 more to giveaway over the course of the event. Green Arrow takes cues from his TV appearance, Spiderman is chockful of lovely detail and Spiderwoman is a neat, relatively obscure, Avenger to throw into the group. The only misfire is black-suit Superman which appears to be the exclusive du jour this year because of Man of Steel but ends up looking dull compared to his more colourful comrades. Anyone who sends me an Arrow, Spidey or Spiderwoman wins my undying affection and a super-special-awesome shout out in a video!

Bluefin Distribution Booth 140 – Dragonball Z Exclusive 3 Piece Scouter Set
Do I need to explain why I need this? DBZ was a huge part of my first exposure to anime and DBZ Abridged is my favourite comedy series on YouTube so why do I want one of these awesome Scouters? Muffin Button. Also because they’re $25 and come in 3 different colours. They’re very limited so if you’re lucky enough to nab one, be aware that I am super jealous.

So that’s what I would conceivabley be spending my money on at SDCC, how about you? Any of you attending or not, what would you love to get and what leaves you cold inside?
