Figurerise Standard

Masked Rider Hibiki

Kit Review

Straight build + Stickers

Masked Rider Hibiki has been released as a Figure-rise Standard kit. Hibiki's distinctive exterior color uses a new technology called iridescent molding — it shows off different reflections depending on the viewing angle, almost like it's been given a pearl mirror coating.

The signature weapon, the Onkakubo, comes in two forms — one for mounting on the back and one combined with the hand for use in action poses. A large torch-shaped effect part can also be attached to the tip of the Onkakubo. Likewise, the Onkaku comes in two forms: one for mounting on the side of the waist and one combined with the hand. The Onkakugo stored in the belt can be detached, and a larger version of the Onkakugo is also included separately. A dedicated stand for this larger Onkakugo is bundled in as well, along with the standard clear stand for Figure-rise Standard kits.

Beyond that, the articulation and joint strength are solid and on par with previous kits, and you can pull off a wide variety of poses using the Onkakubo, Onkaku, and Onkakugo. Sure, the special molding technology does push the price up a bit, but it gives the kit a more premium feel compared to other Masked Rider kits. :-)
