RIDER….HENSHIN!
After being teased in various magazines toy shows, the Granddaddy of all Kamen Riders is finally going to be released in the S.H.Figuarts line!
Coming in the December batch of Tamashii Pick-Ups, we have S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider 1 joined by his human identity: S.H.Figuarts Takeshi Hongo, rendered in a close likeness to actor Hiroshi Fujioka. Apparently, both will be mass retail releases with only Rider 1 having a known price of 6480 yen, the price on Takeshi Hongo and any included accessories are currently not known as of this writing.
Unveiled at last year's Tamashii Nations event and last seen at the Tamashii World Tour in Osaka, the Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider 1 is finally confirmed for release through a display at the Tamashii Showroom: He will be a retail release in December for the standard Shinkocchou Seihou price, 6480¥.
Accessories are at this point unknown, pre-orders will probably open up during the next two months.

Hopefully I can find one in January locally. He looks incredible.
Need. I need badass grandpa on my display
Crap, I still haven't been able to sell off the original version.
I want it, I so want it. But I kinda really would've preferred the original suit. Either way the figure looks plain gorgeous. Kinda odd/cool thinking that this would be the seventh SS release this year.
The one SS figuart I want the most. I so happy that he will be release this year yes. Glad Bandai is moving forward with this figuart he looks amazing.
This makes me so happy I'd held off on picking up a previous Kamen Rider 1 release.
I do believe it's finally time I got myself a KR One.
