This kit is Masked Rider Black, released as part of the Figure-rise Standard series. Up until now, the Figure-rise Standard line had only covered Masked Riders from the 2000s onward (a.k.a. Heisei/Reiwa Riders). This marks the first time an early series Rider (a Showa Rider) — Masked Rider Black — has made it into the lineup.

True to its roots as an early Masked Rider from 1987, this kit sports a clean, retro design. There are no accessories to speak of — just five hand types — but thanks to the flexible yet sturdy joints, you can pull off all kinds of poses without any stress. As a bonus, the clear display stand that's been included with previous kits is in here too, though honestly, these stands have been piling up... I'd have preferred they drop the stand and bring the price down a bit instead.

Just like its predecessors, this Masked Rider looks great even as a straight build, and while the lineup is simple, it's a kit that nails the basics. For longtime Masked Rider fans, seeing an early classic character like this get a release is sure to be a welcome treat. :-)
