S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider New No. 2 "Glorious Showa Rider Edition" Review | The cloth scarf and black mask head are awesome!

The SHFiguarts (True Bone Carving Method) "Kamen Rider New No. 2 Glorious Showa Rider Edition" is a luxurious figure specializing in recreating famous scenes characteristic of Showa-era Kamen Riders, with proportions that reinterpret the suit from the "skeleton" and a new fabric scarf and a variety of wrist and head parts.

Kamen Rider New No. 2, who fought against Shocker for the freedom of humanity, has finally returned as the "Glorious Showa Rider Edition" using the True Bone Carving Method. With a redefined deep green and black color scheme, a fabric scarf, and a black masked head, this update is packed with features that instantly evoke the "memories" of Showa Riders. In this article, we will thoroughly explain the points you should check before purchasing, from the sculpting points unique to the True Bone Carving Method to the accessories, the expanded ways to play with it, and the differences from the old version.

What is the Shinkocchou Seihou New Kamen Rider No. 2 "Glorious Showa Rider Edition"?

• The True Bone Carving Method is a premium brand line of SHFiguarts that achieves both the proportions of the suit actor and natural articulation by "sculpting from the skeleton" rather than just focusing on surface details.

• This item is based on the New Kamen Rider No. 2 suit from when it first appeared in "Kamen Rider," and is a three-dimensional representation of the "Glorious Showa Riders" concept, with a reinterpretation of the on-screen coloring.

• The figure stands approximately 145mm tall, and the use of fabric parts in addition to PVC and ABS creates a sense of texture variation.

• The product will be available for general retail sale, and can be reserved and purchased at toy stores, mass retailers, and various online stores.

Attention to detail in sculpting and coloring

• With proportions that take into account the physique of a suit actor, the silhouette of the Showa-era suit is naturally reproduced, from the thickness of the chest armor and belt to the lines of the legs.

• The deep green with a subdued metallic feel and the contrast with black have been updated to a more "sophisticated" color scheme that is closer to the image from the original film.

• The mask's compound eyes, crusher, antenna, and other fine details are sharply sculpted, and a spare antenna part is also included.

• The belt's typhoon section and silver lines are also meticulously painted, resulting in a finish that conveys a high level of detail even in close-up shots.

The most distinctive features are the cloth scarf and black mask on the head.

• The scarf, including the base that wraps around the neck, is reproduced entirely from fabric, allowing you to enjoy the natural drape and wrinkles just like in the original film.

• The fabric portion has a built-in wire, allowing you to freely adjust its expression to match the way it flutters in the wind or to create dynamic poses.

• Furthermore, it includes a replacement head with the black mask that made such an impression during his guest appearance, allowing you to recreate the atmosphere of a different scene by swapping it with the regular New Kamen Rider 2 mask.

• The scarf comes with interchangeable PVC parts (two types: hanging and flowing) and a dedicated neck part, allowing you to choose your preferred look using both fabric and PVC.

The included wrist parts recreate the "essence" of Showa-era Kamen Riders.

• The figure comes with six interchangeable wrists for both the left and right hands, offering a wide variety of action poses including stances, punches, chops, and clenched fists.

• As a new part, a wrist is included for the "hands on hips" pose familiar from Showa-era Kamen Riders, allowing you to strongly express the character's personality with just a standing pose.

• The figure also comes with a pointing hand part, allowing for the recreation of memorable scenes where the figure points at an opponent, expanding the possibilities for recreating scenes such as the character introducing themselves or confronting a villain.

• The set also includes a handshake hand part for "Kamen Rider New Ichigo: Glorious Showa Rider Edition," allowing you to recreate the handshake scene of the two Riders side-by-side in a natural way (New Ichigo is sold separately).

Interoperability with the new Kamen Rider 1 & expanded play possibilities

• By combining it with the "Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider New Ichigo: Glorious Showa Rider Edition," which shares the same concept, you can comprehensively recreate iconic scenes from the Double Riders series.

• Using the included handshake wrist parts, you can recreate the iconic handshake pose of the two heroes standing side-by-side at a natural angle.

• By posing both figures simultaneously in action poses, you can realistically recreate special attack scenes such as the "Rider Double Kick."

• When combined with the New Cyclone (Glorious Showa Rider Edition) or the Shocker Combatant (Hellish Showa Monster Edition), you can enjoy a display that dramatically expands the world of Showa Riders.
