“Those who betrayed me are far beyond forgiveness!”

The one and only Game Master returns! Deleted previously by Parad, Kuroto Dan’s data was scattered into the Proto Mighty Action X Gashat and seemingly lost. But thanks to Poppy, Kuroto’s data was recovered and the game master was reborn, as a Bugster! Now imbued with all the abilities of a Bugster, and begrudgingly joining up with the team at CR, Kuroto has returned to stop Parad, Masamune, and anyone else who gets in the way of his path to godhood!

S.H. Figuarts Shin Kuroto Dan represents this reprehensible rider after his rebirth as a Bugster in episode 31 of Ex-Aid. Taking on the moniker Shin (new), Kuroto begins to indulge in some of his wilder tendencies. This figure, while imperfect, certainly does a fair job of recreating the insanity of his character at this point as well. Civilian figuarts still aren’t incredibly common, so the expectations can be big surrounding releases such as this. Couple that with the inclusion of the Continue Pipe the character is infamous for, and collectors had high hopes over this release. So how did it turn out in the end?

“It’s time. Finally, I will become the god amongst all gods!”

In a bid to create the ultimate game Zombie Chronicle, and restore the data of all those lost to the Bugster Virus, Kuroto Dan has obtained the power of god. Using the God Maximum Mighty X Gashat, Kuroto ascends to become Kamen Rider GenM God Maximum Gamer, Level Billion! And this unique S.H. Figuart has quite a a history to it.

GenM Level Billion is an all new mold, and honestly a surprising release. It’s been a couple years since Ex-Aid aired, and despite this we’ve still yet to see a number of Ex-Aid’s forms in S.H. FIguarts. But Kuroto Dan’s massive popularity continues to drive new releases for him, including this one. A repaint of an Ex-Aid figure that actually has still yet to release! Level Billion is a big beefy, and surprisingly well articulated figure that shine’s with GenM’s personality. The included extra hands and Gashacon Key Slasher also compliment the figure nicely.

Following up from what will for now be the last GenM gallery, next time we tackle his father, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cronus! 

“Grade Zero.”

The mighty Kuroto Dan has returned! Evil CEO turned Dangerous Zombie, now the one true Game Master has returned as Bugster! Revived thanks to Poppy the new Kuroto has 99 lives and all the time in the world to seek revenge on Kamen Rider Para-DX as well as his father Masamune. Back from the dead, this is our gallery & review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider GenM Action Gamer Level 0!

GenM has made a couple outings in this line as Level 2, Level X, and even Level Billion at this point, but Level 0 is the first one to truly cash in on Kuroto’s massive popularity. A very minor repaint of Level 2, Level 0 includes a ton of new accessories like the Bug Visor Zwei, a God Kuroto Dan effect sheet, Life Point Counters, and even a Gashacon Breaker Blade. Even as similar as they are, this release does a fantastic job of setting itself apart. But is it really worth those Tamashii Web Exclusive dollars? Check out our gallery & review to find out!
