Review: S.H.Figuarts Masked Rider Gai

Gai 1st appearances is on "Kamen Rider Ryuki" series.

Gai

Masked Rider / Kamen Rider Gai is a melee fighter who relies on brute strength and his intellect more often than anything else, his attack methods usually involve his Confine Vent card to cancel any weapons from the other Riders while using the Metal Visor on his left-shoulder to conjure his Metal Horn gauntlet as well as summoning his contract monster Metalgelas to fight alongside him and execute his Heavy Pressure Final Vent, carried by his Contact Monster as a lance, with the Metal Horn extended in front of him to pierce through the opponent (source).

I will give this item  8.0 out of 10. As expected from the Ryuki's rider figuarts, Gai also is a great figure. However, this figure is a Tamashii web shop exclusive limited item so it's slightly more expensive than the normal release. Not much accessories, comes with a great details and a couple of optional hands. If you are a perfectionist, you should get this rider in figuarts line or you can choose to pick Masked Rider Thrust from Figma Dragon Knight series. Cheers!!!
