In what’s surely going to surprise many fans and please many others, one of the most short lived riders of the (technically) Showa era will finally receive the S.H. Figuarts treatment! Set for release in May as a Tamashii Web Exclusive is none other than Kamen Rider Shin!
Kamen Rider Shin isn’t entirely recognizable to all fans, mostly because of his very few appearances. Originally intended to be a new Kamen Rider aimed at the now adult fans of the original series, Shin first appeared in Shin Kamen Rider Prologue. As the name implies a series was meant to follow up the film. However that never materialized because of the films bizarre horror/monster angle and excessive violence which drastically departed from what rider fans had experienced before. Shin would later go on to reappear in All Riders Vs. Dai Shocker, Let’s Go Kamen Riders, and the first Super Hero Taisen.
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin will be released in May as a Tamashi Web Exclusive for 4320 yen.

Wow an actual LED Head too.
I still can't figure out how to react.
I'm actually kind of shocked.
And impressed.
And despite having not seen the movie nor caring a whole lot about Shin, something in me still wants this for the sheer novelty of it.
Will he come with a head with the spine attached? (That's how he killed the monsters right?)
God I have waited so long for this gorgeous monster to be made.
I cant wait for this figure. Shin Kamen Rider Prologue is by far not one of my favorite Rider Movies but I just love monsters
So much want right there.
Everything about this is a surprise. Shin getting any recognition? LEDs in SH Figuarts (if those are LEDs)? What's next, him being retail?
Now they have to announce ZO and J so we have the 90s Trio complete. Those guys are just so weird I have to own them.
Is Bluefin going to distribute this in the west?
