Together with the Figured-rise Standard Masked Rider Kuuga Mighty Form.

This kit is the Masked Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form released in the Figured-rise Standard series. Its role in the show was fairly limited, but perhaps thanks to its distinctive gold line design, it got the plastic model treatment. Compared to the previously released Mighty Formit features a completely different body.

First and foremost, the standout feature is the impressive color separation. The gold-plated lines covering the entire body are achieved 100% through parts separation. You'll find yourself marveling at the clever engineering while building it, and then marveling again at the beautiful finished look. The build feel and articulation are both smooth and well-tuned, and the excellent articulation and joint strength let it pull off a wide variety of poses with ease.

Accessories are on the sparse side — you only get flame effects that attach to the arms and a set of replacement black eyes. That said, 9 hands are included, which you can use to recreate various poses from the show. There's also a clear stand included, handy for tricky-angled kicks and action poses.

So while the limited accessories mean there isn't a ton to explore, the real selling point of this kit is the flawless color separation on the main body itself. Whether you're a Masked Rider fan or just someone who loves the design, this feels like a top-tier Figured-rise Standard kit that's well worth recommending. :-)
