Three versions of the Faiz Phone — the device that attaches to the center of the belt — are included.

Two of them are flip-style and can be opened and closed.

You can bend the hinge to turn it into a gun-like Phone Blaster form,
and the larger one at the bottom is a part fixed in Phone Blaster form.

It can also be made into a Phone Blaster with the Faiz Pointer attached.

Two versions of the Faiz Shot that attaches to the side are included..

One of them lets you pull out the contents and flip up the handle.

Six hands are included in total.

The sole stickers are quite flashy,
but the part molding itself is pretty nice, so it's a bit of a shame that it all gets covered up.

The chest armor "Full Metal Lung" opening gimmick is also reproduced,
with a good number of stickers applied.

Excellent articulation as expected.

Together with the simultaneously released Figure-rise 6 Masked Rider Kabuto.

This kit is Masked Rider Faiz, released simultaneously with Masked Rider Kabuto as part of the Figure-rise 6 lineup — the main character of the 2003 Masked Rider series.

Just like Kabuto, despite its small scale, the precise color separation and stickers give it a high level of finish even as a straight build. On top of that, the flexible articulation and lightweight body make it easy to pull off all kinds of poses, resulting in a great action figure model kit.

Faiz also faithfully recreates a variety of show-accurate features — the standout Full Metal Lung deployment gimmick is pulled off quite convincingly with plenty of stickers. The Faiz Phone that attaches to the belt comes in three forms, so you can switch between the flip phone form, the Faiz Blaster form, or use the fixed-type Faiz Blaster. On top of that, accessories like the Faiz Shot and Faiz Edge are included, and with the clear effect parts and stand you can also pull off a solid Crimson Smash pose ^^

All in all, this is a high-quality action figure model kit with a lot going for it compared to the larger and pricier MG Figure-rise line. It looks like more Masked Riders will be coming out in the Figure-rise 6 lineup going forward, and as products that offer a different kind of fun from pre-built figures, they should make a great gift for Masked Rider fans. :-)
