You can detach the waist buckle, rotate the inside 180 degrees, and attach it with the Rouze Card exposed at the front.

You can do a crossover with Masked Rider Decade's Decadriver belt.

Limb articulation

The hip joints can be extended downward to increase the range of motion.

The front-to-back range of motion in the shoulders is quite generous.

The waist and neck are pretty flexible.

The ankles also bend quite a bit side to side.

The effect parts on the ground are clear so they're hard to see T_T

You need a darker background to make the effect parts stand out.

Together with Figure-rise Masked Rider Faiz / Hibiki.

This kit is Masked Rider Blade released as part of the Figure-rise Standard series. As the 5th Heisei Rider, it sits between Faiz before it and Hibiki after it. It comes as a kit that really shows off top-tier color separation and Extra Finish plated surfaces.

First off, visually it delivers a notch above the other Masked Rider kits in terms of quality. It shows relatively superior articulation and solid joint stability, and on top of that the smooth feel of movement makes posing easy and fun. In a word, it's the essence of an action figure model kit with nothing to complain about.

For accessories, the signature Blay Rouzer is included, and the blade section can be swapped between the stored and combat versions. The open tray parts come separately along with detailed stickers, so they can be swapped onto the Blay Rouzer. Also included separately are 10 Rouze Cards in PET sheet material, plus a dedicated hand for holding them. On top of that, clear effect parts for poses where the Blay Rouzer is slammed into the ground are included, along with a Figure-rise Standard display stand.

With a top-tier main figure and a generous set of accessories, this kit delivers A+ quality. It's one of the most complete kits in the entire Figure-rise Standard Masked Rider lineup. Either way, if you have fond memories of Masked Rider Blade — which did air domestically — this will be a welcome kit. And even if you're coming to it fresh, if you want to experience a top-class action figure model kit, this is one I can easily recommend. :-)
