R&M1 Kamen Rider Ryuki

Kidou Shinji found himself caught up in a twisted game in the Mirror World dimension while investigating a series of missing persons cases. Kidou eventually made a contract with the fearsome dragon that stalked the Mirror World but unlike the other Riders, Kidou has no interest in the deadly game’s ultimate prize. Instead, as Kamen […]

Kamen Rider Ryuki

One madman, desperate to save a doomed loved one, concocts a game which will see 13 battle to the death for the ultimate prize: one reality-altering wish. This is the world of Kamen Rider Ryuki. As is typical of series in the Kamen Rider franchise, Ryuki has an outrageous premise. It’s a little bit Highlander, […]

Ryuki, too

Red dragon rising

A photo of Dragreder from Bandai’s R&M1 Kamen Rider Ryuki set. Dragreder, Kamen Rider Ryuki’s contracted monster, was modelled after an Oriental dragon and specifically, a Japanese dragon since it has three toes on each foot. The figure is an impressive 52cm-long and features 24 joints which allow for some sinuous poses. Unfortunately, the 9 […]

Knight Rider

A photo of a Bandai R&M2 Kamen Rider Knight, one of 13 Kamen Riders from the 2002 Kamen Rider Ryuki series. It’s one of my favourite Kamen Rider designs despite the absence of most of the traditional Rider suit elements. Bandai translated the design into a fine action figure which is only let down by […]

Kamen Rider Hibiki 19 out. Unsubbed. Another entertaining episode. Kamen Rider Ryuki 5 out. Subbed. TV-Nihon’s tracker must’ve been tweaked again because I’m getting a green light now. Hankerin’ to do some Todoroki-style riffing? Harmonix’s PS2 music game, Guitar Hero, ships with a guitar-shaped controller. Gone in 8 seconds. [via] It takes that long for […]

“The most popular education magnet toy in 2003.” Each metal ball has a diameter of 12.7mm (the official site erroneously states it’s 12.7cm) making it almost Magnemo-11 size. These Madmag magnetic construction sets have interesting artistic applications as well. Bandai’s 2000-2004 revenues by character. [via] I find three things interesting. One, Gundam is the biggest […]

R&M2 Kamen Rider Knight

Akiyama Ren was a belligerent punk with a chip on his shoulder until he met a woman who made a better man of him. She urged him to stop fighting but in one of life’s bitter ironies, she ended up being the reason Akiyama is locked in mortal combat. As Kamen Rider Knight, Akiyama will […]

R&M3 Kamen Rider Zolda

Kitaoka Shuichi has everything. Good looks. Money. An outstanding career. A faithful butler cum bodyguard cum cook. Kitaoka nonetheless takes part in a deadly game as Kamen Rider Zolda because he badly needs the prize — one reality-altering wish. The man who has everything also has a terminal illness and he’s running out of time. […]

Pix ahoy

I’ve updated my long-neglected Fotopic album with 29 pictures taken of the just-reviewed Kamen Rider Ryuki set and updated the review with hyperlinks to said pictures.

End of the world

Favourite moments from Kamen Rider Ryuki #1: Kamen Rider Zolda’s final attack in Episode 10. He begins by summoning MagnaGiga, his contracted monster, then loads his Final Vent card and inserts his Magna Visor into the beast’s back. Preparing to attack, MagnaGiga raises its arm weapons, lowers cannons from its shins and opens its chest […]

Dragon Knight

A photo of Kamen Rider Ryuki and Dragreder from the Rider & Monster set. The reason it looks a little funky is I tried to touch up the picture with Pixia. I had used a piece of black cloth for a backdrop and despite ironing it, there was a big fat distracting crease behind the […]
