FiguartsZERO Kamen Rider vs. Cobra Man "Kamen Rider" | Bandai Tamashii Nations

Celebrate the 55th anniversary of Kamen Rider with an impressive new FiguartsZERO statue from Bandai Tamashii Nations. FiguartsZERO Kamen Rider vs. Cobra Man brings one of the dramatic battles from Shotaro Ishinomori's original Kamen Rider manga to life, capturing the explosive moment Kamen Rider unleashes his legendary Rider Kick against the fearsome Cobra Man.

Rather than presenting Kamen Rider in a traditional standing pose, this statue recreates an entire action scene. Kamen Rider descends from above with his Rider Kick, striking Cobra Man as the villain unleashes his destructive energy attack.

The composition emphasizes movement from every angle. Sculpted wind effects convey the speed and force behind Kamen Rider's airborne attack, while Cobra Man's pose captures the impact of the Rider Kick at the exact moment of contact.

Clear effect parts are incorporated throughout the display to recreate the flowing wind, Cobra Man's destructive beam, and the explosive energy of the confrontation. Although FiguartsZERO is a non-articulated statue line, the dynamic sculpting creates a strong sense of motion and makes the scene appear frozen in the middle of battle.

Kamen Rider's iconic eyes are recreated using clear parts with compound-eye detailing underneath, giving the helmet additional depth and helping reproduce the distinctive appearance of the legendary hero.

Cobra Man receives equally impressive attention to detail. Fine sculpting and paint applications recreate the villain's monstrous features, including the fangs and tongue inside his mouth, adding depth and character to the dramatic battle scene.

The statue was sculpted by Tsuyoshi Saito of Shonen Geppetto, a sculptor known for recreating characters based on Shotaro Ishinomori's distinctive artwork. The result retains the expressive qualities of Ishinomori's manga illustrations while translating the battle into a substantial three-dimensional collectible.

Standing approximately 300 mm / 11.8 inches tall, this is an unusually large and visually commanding entry in the FiguartsZERO series. The statue is constructed from PVC and ABS and is designed as a complete display piece rather than an articulated action figure.

With its dramatic vertical composition, translucent effects, manga-inspired sculpting, and classic Showa-era characters, FiguartsZERO Kamen Rider vs. Cobra Man is both a tribute to the origins of Kamen Rider and an impressive centerpiece for a premium Kamen Rider collection.

Perfect for collectors of Kamen Rider, Cobra Man, Shotaro Ishinomori, Showa Kamen Rider, FiguartsZERO, Bandai Tamashii Nations, and classic Japanese tokusatsu collectibles.
