Mecha Collection Kamen Rider

New Cyclone & Masked Rider 2

Release 2018.3
Price ¥700

This kit is the New Cyclone & Masked Rider 2, released as the 5th entry in the Mecha Collection Masked Rider series. The bike is the same as the Mecha Collection New Cyclonethat came out as the 1st entry, with only the character changed to Masked Rider 2. Waterslide decals for the New Cyclone are included along with seals, so you can finish the coloring nice and easily.

As you can see in the comparison photos above, the difference between having seals on the New Cyclone and not is pretty significant. It's still small, but the sculpt and detail are excellent as ever. Masked Rider 2, molded entirely in black, honestly looks almost identical to Masked Rider 1 except for a few parts. That said, you do get two different arm options to choose from, so you can pose him in something other than just gripping the handlebars.

So at its core, this is basically a reuse of the existing bike with a slightly tweaked Masked Rider thrown in — but with the addition of seals and the extra arm for alternate poses, it actually feels like a surprisingly solid package. Either way, if waterslide decals on a small kit felt like too much of a hassle, this is a great Mecha Collection kit to enjoy casually with just the seals. :-)
