MG Figure-Rise - Kamen Rider Accel (Bandai)

Hi guys :) Here comes my 2nd MG Figure-Rise Kamen Rider... Accel!

Manufacturer: Bandai
Scale: 1/8
Grade: MG Figure-rise
Origin: Kamen Rider W
Price: 4500 Yen


Part 1: Legs & Feet

The legs are pretty well-done, as the articulations are very good :) Tights and ankles could turn left and right, giving a lot of room for handsome posing.

I Accel's feet are a bit bigger than Cyclone Joker, which is a good thing ;)






Part 2: Torso & Belt

The torso is pretty well-done too, as there's parts allowing better hip movement ;) The belt actually could be detached for the signature posing too!




Part 3: Upperbody

The neck can be tilted a great deal backward due to the transformation mechanism, which is fantastic for posing.

The body of Accel is less moveable as compare to W i.e. Cyclone Joker also due to the transformation, but not a big issue.

The shoulder permits 360 degree movement so all is GOOD ;)




Part 4: Putting It Together :)




Rider Form

Very good pose-ability ;)









Bike Form ;)

Very good :) Just a bit small if put together with Kamen Rider W... ;)

Quick Review

Plastic quality

The plastic very nice ;) The only flaw is that the nub marks turns dark instead of turning white, making it impossible to make disappear without repainting the kit...

Looks and Feels

AWESOME!

Besides the turning-dark nub marks (which is not obvious by the way), I am very happy with this model ;) If you like action posing, this kit worth your consideration.
