Chibi-Arts Shoutarou & Philip (2010)



The ONLY negative I can bring to bear with these is that they were exclusives. Chibi-Arts CycloneJoker was a regular release and that seems a bit backwards considering that their base Rider form is available a ZILLION different ways. Philip is now represented in my collection in a way that I find emotionally appropriate, but damn do I miss this incarnation of him. I'll list the accessories they include below the cut, but I'll tell you right now that the Kamen Singer faces are the best inclusion, hands down. If you're down with the chibi aesthetic and can find them for a price you're willing to pay, put your finger on the trigger and pull.
