This kit is the New Cyclone, released as the first entry in the Mecha Collection Kamen Rider series. The Mecha Collection Kamen Rider lineup brings characters and bikes from the original series to life as small miniature kits. The first release features the New Cyclone and Kamen Rider Shin Ichigo from the original Kamen Rider.
The star of the show, the New Cyclone, is a super-tiny model smaller than your finger, but thanks to excellent parts breakdown and sculpting, it delivers way more three-dimensionality than you'd expect. Color separation is done in 4 colors, though the key colors including red are applied via wet decals. Beyond that, aside from the front wheel and handlebars being able to rotate, there aren't really any other moving parts — but a stand is included by default, so keeping it upright is no problem.
Kamen Rider Shin Ichigo, included as the rider figure, came out nicely with solid sculpting for its size. As a fixed-pose figure in riding position, it pairs well with the New Cyclone.
Overall, it's a kit that fits the small and cute Mecha Collection concept really well. That said, doing just a straight build without any painting or wet decal work can feel a bit plain. Either way, the quality is clean and tidy, so if you're into the Kamen Rider series or small miniature kits, it seems like a fun little build to try out. :-)
