This kit is the Battle Hopper & Shadow Moon, released as the 4th entry in the Mecha Collection Kamen Rider series. The bike is the same as the previous Mecha Collection Battle Hopper, with only the Kamen Rider character swapped out for Shadow Moon. Since it's all molded in a single black color anyway, it's pretty hard to tell them apart without closely comparing the details.
Battle Hopper itself is identical to the previous release — it still shows off that grasshopper-like design with solid color separation, delivering a great straight build and overall sculpt. Look closely at Shadow Moon and you can definitely spot different details and sculpting compared to the previous Kamen Rider Black, but since the character is originally a bright silver figure, those features just don't come through without painting, which is a bit of a shame.
Since this kit reuses the bike and only swaps out the character, the appeal is somewhat limited. That said, if you're a fan of the Kamen Rider Black series, just having Shadow Moon in the lineup should be enough to make this a welcome addition. :-)
