S.H. Figuarts Cyclone Joker Gold Xtreme (2011)


In terms of emotional significance, Cyclone Joker Gold Xtreme trumps every other post-Final Form that the Neo-Heisei Rider films have produced. It’s 100% justified, 0% gimmick. The toy representation, however, is thoroughly flawed. The figure itself is a fine representation, but the wings—the things that ultimately define it—are a mess in every way. They can scratch easily, the joints connecting them can get out of line super easily, and the connection between them and W’s back is crap. A tri-colored stand is included, sure, but you don’t get a Prism Bicker or Prism Sword. I.e., this won’t necessarily save you from having to buy the regular release of CJX.

Avoid. Avoid like the plague.
