[BM Project - Feb'08] The Next No.1

My no. 41 12-inch. This is where it started..My first Masked Rider...is also my first step to the world of Masked Rider, a path of no return...Duh!

And within the same month I bought The Next V3, Old No.1 (Ver. 3) and I preordered The Next No.2.

The design of this Kamen Rider (KR) No.1 came from the movie Kamen Rider THE NEXT (produced in 2007), a sequel from Kamen Rider THE FIRST (produced in 2005). I'm still trying to get my hands on these DVDs eventhough I heard both are flops. ;)

This design is actually a so-called battle damaged version of KR No.1. Very slick and modern. I love the leather suit. I hope it won't flake!!! This piece is quite rare and hard to find nowadays. Glad that I got it quite early before the price went up 30-50% at least.

The headpiece is the only let down for this figure. If only the damages / scratches on the headpiece are real and not just paints, it will be perfect..
