The wheels, rendered in pink and green clear parts, need to have a ton of fluorescent stickers applied to them.
Doing so means the clear parts are essentially hidden from view on the outside..
It seems like they're basically giving you the choice between clear parts or fluorescent stickers depending on your preference.

Wheels for the Barnaby Brooks Jr. version.
Pretty sharp-looking, aren't they?

The wheels are thick enough that it stands up on its own just fine without the display stand.

The Double Chaser from Tiger & Bunny has been released in the Figurerise 6 lineup — a smaller scale than the regular MG Figurerise. It's been properly released with the ability to separate and combine, designed to carry the previously released Figurerise 6 Wild Tiger and Barnaby Brooks Jr. kits.

First you'll be surprised by the unexpectedly steep price of ¥3800 and the large box, then once you open it you'll be surprised again by the generous volume of parts — and then when you look more closely, you'll be surprised yet again to find there are actually fewer parts than it looks. Building it in practice also goes faster than you'd expect, and in that sense you get to enjoy a big, satisfying build experience that somehow feels similar to a Mega Size kit.

The part count isn't huge, but thanks to smart color separation and a generous helping of stickers, the color result after a straight build is really quite good, and it matches up beautifully with the existing Wild Tiger and Barnaby Brooks Jr. kits. On both bikes, the wheel sections have fluorescent stickers applied over green and pink clear parts — it seems like they've set it up so you can choose between fluorescent wheels or transparent ones depending on your taste. Once you actually apply the fluorescent stickers, the clear part material underneath becomes completely invisible.

There are no individual articulation gimmicks to speak of, and even the wheels are fixed in place with no rolling — all for the sake of proportions. Instead, a variety of option parts are included so you can transform the Wild Tiger version bike into sidecar form and combine the two bikes into the Double Chaser. Thanks to that, you can cleanly recreate both the individual bikes and the combined form just as depicted in the show ^^

When you actually place the Figurerise 6 Wild Tiger and Barnaby Brooks Jr. figures on their respective bikes, the fit between the rider and the bike doesn't feel quite as snug as you might hope. That said, stepping back a bit, it does look reasonably convincing — like they're actually riding. The arms are a bit short so you can't really scoot the figure all the way back into the seat, which is a little disappointing, but just having them sitting on there already looks great and gives off a really cool vibe ^^

In conclusion, this is a Bandai futuristic bike kit that seems simple on the surface but delivers a pleasant little surprise with its size and quality beyond expectations. Come to think of it, I wonder if the whole reason they created the smaller Figurerise 6 lineup was specifically for this Double Chaser. The regular MG Figurerise figures are large, which would mean the bike would have to come out at an enormous size too — that would've been quite a burden... And even at the smaller Figurerise 6 scale, the bike still comes out this big.

Either way, this is an absolute must-have for Tiger & Bunny fans, and even if you're not particularly into the anime, it's a genuinely fun and unique kit well worth building. Some of you might be thinking about collecting all three Figurerise kits at once and displaying them all together like shown above — and since the quality is so good, just enjoying the build process alone will be more than enough fun. :-)
