Kamen Rider Black is the first Rider in the Showa Era to be released in Figure Rise Standard line-up.
Unlike the Riders of Heisei & Reiwa with their array of weapons, the Showa Riders were the weapons.
Showa Riders were captured by dark organisations for their unique skills & were modified into cyborgs with strength that went above & beyond the normal strengths of a human. But the Riders escaped & defended the world & eventually defeated the organisations bringing peace to the world.
Now back to the model, the Black insignia on the chest is a molded silver piece used during the build.
The black stickers that go on the red pieces on the neckline, wrists & ankles are a bit annoying to deal with. I personally think it should have been a molded black & red piece but can't be helped.
In the end you have one incredible design here that will go well on the shelf with your other Rider's.
At the present time of this review no other Showa Riders have been announced yet.
For me personally I'd like Kamen Rider Black RX to be the next released as the character Kotaro Minami who is Kamen Rider Black is also Black RX in the sequel series.
Or knowing the good folks at Bandai they'll go back to the beginning & start with the original Rider that started it all, Kamen Rider Ichigo.
As saying goes time will tell
