“Cast Off.”
It’s been a while since we’ve taken a look at any older releases, but with Shinkocchou Seihou in full swing for Kamen Rider Kabuto, we thought it was time for a return. The next pair of releases due out in that line are the Hopper Bros, but perhaps it’s only a matter of time before the entire original line is redone in this premium style? In anticipation of that we’re going to knock out 3 classic releases today with this special triple gallery from Kabuto’s theatrical film God Speed Love. Today we look at the 3 riders of a future that never came to pass with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Riders Hercus, Ketaros, & Caucasus!
Hercus, Ketaros, & Caucasus are all in fact re[aints & remolds to varying degrees of the original Kamen Rider Kabuto mold. Long before Seihou ever made it obsolete, that mold got a lot of mileage. And these 3 movie exclusive riders may just be the best use of it. While each is undoubtedly pretty close to Kabuto’s standard design, they each offer a unique take on the beetle theme with suit colors we didn’t really see in the series proper. The real question though is, with the chance of Seihou’s to replace these in the next couple years, are they worth your time and money? Let’s find out!
We’ve put together a full 80 images of this trio of riders in our gallery & review thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see them all. We’ll be back soon with a brand new gallery from Kamen Rider Drive!
