s.h.Figuarts Fourze Review
Fourze, when first release this Kamen Rider the design look very weird , Seriously most of my customer didn't PO for this Rider when Bandai open PO for SHF Fourze.Only few PO the main form only for the sake to complete their rider collection (so pity them have to force themself to buy it). I seriously don't like it but when i do this review i slowly fall in love with it .I regret that i didn't PO SHF Fourze now i have to wait Bandai to reissue.Let check out why Fourze so attractive.
Sculpt and Details
I was very worry that the sculting for SHF Fourze will not be accurate with the Kamen Rider Fourze series but surprisingly it turn out just nice .
i like most is the belt , This time Bandai did paint and put some details on the switches further more the switches can be take out and slot in with another different switch . The problem is this switches are very easy to fall off furthermore this switches are very small (no wonder Bandai give extra) so have to be extra careful
The trigger that located at the right hand side of the belt can be push forward and backward
The Head sculpting is not 100% accurate compare with the series Fourze(the real fourze suit)
but still consider ok with me
Bandai have put in details on the hand and exchangeable hand but Bandai didn't put more details on the feet (shoe) , Really speechless at least have some pen lining
Paint Job And articulation
Fourze have less paint job error because everything is white in colour , Some how the colour scheme on the Fourze head is different from the original fourze , Others than that i have no complaint
The articulation joints are just right (not so tight and not so loose) which make it very easy to pose . The Fourze hand can be detach from the elbow side and not the shoulder side
I think with this joint design it will have a better support when we put on the Rocket module.When we put on the Rocket module the hand will not automatic fall (either after some time or fall immediately ) and we don't need to put on the stand to hold the fourze when it attach the Rocket module. Furthermore we can easily pose without fear the hand will slowly fall (drop).
The leg design is the same as Ryuki which i love this design very much reason is it can stand very stabil and can have many pose without using the stand or trouble posing them
don't believe me try to look at the picture below no camera trick or photoshop editing .
Accessory
Accessory for Fourze is very less because Bandai are very smart by releasing those weapon set
Seriously in my opinion those weapon set is really waste of money , better keep and buy the next SHF
Bandai did put some detail on the Rocket module and Drill module but not very impressive, Reason is it look like a simple pen lining using Gundam marker.
I like most are the drill module , the drill seen so real
Conclusion
SHF Fourze is not as bad as we have thought (imagine), Agree that Fourze is not like others Kamen Rider love at first sight (mean once see and must buy). SHF Fourze have to take time to fall in love with it ( Mean the more you see it the more you love it) . Everyone go out there and grab it and to my customer who PO SHF Fourze , You don't have to suffer yourself to own it . Enjoy some of the picture i took
