Here it is alongside the Masked Rider Faiz from Figurise 6.
Since this kit is an upgraded version, let's focus on what's changed.

First up, the silver parts now have a premium coating in the style of an Extra Finish.

and to keep the overall leg length consistent, the thigh parts have been shortened accordingly.

The neck parts have been slightly tweaked as well.

This kit is Masked Rider Faiz released under the Figurise Standard line. Faiz was already released back in 2014 as part of the Figurise 6 lineup, and when it was brought over into Figurise Standard, some parts were upgraded. Here's a summary of what changed:

- The silver parts runner has been coated in an Extra Finish style
- The hip joint parts design has been changed, and the thigh parts have been shortened accordingly
- The ankle joint, which was made up of two polycaps, has been changed to plastic parts
- Neck parts changed
- The red stripe on the shoulders changed from a seal to separate parts
- A new action base in clear plastic included

Aside from the added coating, there's barely any visual difference, but in terms of articulation, the improved ankle joints do make it a bit easier to hold poses on a flat surface. The hip joint parts were changed too, but since it's more of a design change, the articulation is pretty much the same as before.

So as a basic action figure, it doesn't feel all that different from the Figurise 6 version — it's still a great kit with an excellent straight build appearance and solid articulation/joint strength. The price did go up ¥1000 due to the upgrades, but if you're looking to pick up Masked Rider Faiz, the new version is probably the better choice. That said, I wouldn't go so far as to recommend it to someone who's already built the Figurise 6 version. :-)
