Rider Hero Series 01 - Kamen Rider Zero-One Rising Hopper Soft Vinyl Figure









Every era needs a hero! The Japanese are currently in the Reiwa period (basically a new emperor Naruhito, succeeded to the throne). Tokusatsu drama takes a relook of the original Kamen Rider which started off the insect theme and restart the number count to Zero-One!

Grasshopper design is certainly a safe choice giving birth to Rising Hopper and obviously its ability is jump. Base form Kamen Rider in primary colours of bright highlighter green with black contrast like it glows all day long. There is a little touch of silver to it as well. Quite a unique take there.

With my limited budget, I settled with 7" soft vinyl Bandai figure with 3-point-articulation. I won't complain for the lack of details on the back of the figure for the price I'm paying for.  Regardless, it's henshin time : )

The overall design is very bright with luminous yellow.

I think that the overall level of detail and sculpt is quite good, the paint job very neat, for a budget collectible; also the character design is a different and very welcome approach to an icon of Tokusatsu... Somehow it reminds me a contemporary black ops suit, a logical evolution towards armored suits, perhaps the days of combat suits like those you can see in, let’s say, HALO, are not too far in the future!...

Hello from Russia! I like your page very much. Your effort is good and so is the service, but I think it will be better to keep some translation text as well for people like me from another world. But good page and good information that you have here! Good work. 30% off on NERF kids Guns 2020

Yeah, the details is fair for my budget and the design is smoothing to the eye. The black suit is tactical yet the yellow totally go against the logic of stealth lolz.
