Kamen Rider Action Figure Kamen Rider Gav Popping Mi Form Package
Let’s start with the package. This is a figure from a new brand released the day before the broadcast started. The package features the brand design.
It certainly reminds me of RKF and similar brands.
Inside, it is wrapped in cardboard. This also has a similar feel to RKF.
Kamen Rider Action Figure Kamen Rider Gav Popping Mi Form Main Body
Now let’s take it out and review the Kamen Rider Action Figure Kamen Rider Gav Popping Mi Form. First, let’s look at the whole body.
Going around it completely. This is a figure from a new brand, and the quality is quite high, better than I expected. The impression is that the arms and legs are somewhat long and thin, but it’s not a significant issue. Overall, the paint job is good.
Close-up of the bust. The mask does not use clear parts, but it recreates the distinctive design that mimics gummy candy very well. The thick black lines are painted neatly without any bleed.
The body armor mimicking gummy candy is also well done. Although it does not use clear parts, the gradient color is well represented by the paint job.
The back is simply all black. There are no screw holes visible.
The arms do feel a bit long. The shoulder armor is attached to the body.
The painting of the arm armor is also good.
The legs give a slender impression.
The silver paint on the thigh looks nice, but it’s a bit disappointing that there’s some wear on the inner side.
The shin armor is also nicely painted.
The legs also have a distinctive design.
The soles of the feet are also sculpted.
The transformation belt “Gav” is also sculpted. The red parts are painted, giving a good impression at first glance. It’s not very easy to see, but “Gochizou” is also sculpted.
Here it is compared with the Revolve Change Figure Kamen Rider Geats Magnum Boost Form and the Souchaku Henshin Kamen Rider Gatchard Steam Hopper, both recent boys’ toys. The sizes are almost the same, but the Kamen Rider Action Figure appears more natural as it does not have the form-changing gimmick.

Now comparing it with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gatchard Steam Hopper. The size looks pretty good against the Arts, with no major discrepancies. It’s almost the same scale. The naturalness of the style is something that the Arts hold, but it’s still nice to play with a figure that can be of the same scale right after the broadcast begins.
Kamen Rider Action Figure Kamen Rider Gav Popping Mi Form Range of Motion
Now let’s look at the mobility. The neck has a wide range of rotation, and the shoulders can also move widely. The elbows can bend around 90 degrees, and there is a roll axis. The neck does feel like it is a bit sunken, but the movement is good.
As advertised, there are also shoulder sliding joints.
The neck can move back and forth pretty widely.
The waist movement is also satisfactory.
The waist rotation is very wide as well.
The legs can spread wide in all directions. The stability is a bit less than ideal. By the way, there is no toe articulation.
Kamen Rider Action Figure Kamen Rider Gav Popping Mi Form Accessories
Next, let’s look at the accessories. Here are the gripping hands, a pair for each side.
This wrist part is for holding the weapon, the Gav Gab Blade. Only the right hand is included.
The weapon, Gav Gab Blade, is also included. It’s quite large and has some weight to it. While it is all black, the details in the sculpting are quite fine.
It may be hard to tell the front from the back, but overall, the sculpting quality is high.
Kamen Rider Action Figure Kamen Rider Gav Popping Mi Form Action!
＼Wow!! Popping Mi!!／
Here we have the action of Kamen Rider Action Figure Kamen Rider Gav Popping Mi Form.
This distinctive lazy pose is also possible.
It’s nice to be able to play with the new Rider immediately after the broadcast begins.
By the way, since I haven’t watched it yet, I’m just imagining the poses.
As the name “Kamen Rider Action Figure” suggests, this is a Kamen Rider version of the affordable action figure series like Ultra Action Figures and Godzilla Action Figures.
Given the higher price compared to Ultra Action Figures, the waist mobility, sculpting, and painting quality are commendable.
However, it’s a bit concerning that the neck tends to stick out too much.
Holding the Gav Gab Blade is fine; it can even be held with both hands with ease.
The sword is quite large.
Holding it poses no issues.
Posing is quite good as well.
By the way, Kamen Rider Valen was also displayed at the toy show.

I might want parts for Kicking Mi and Punching Mi.
Will we possibly see form changes in the future?
Operating the handle.
And then the kick.
This is the expected pose along with Gatchard, which we should probably see in the winter movie.
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gatchard Steam Hopper Review 
That concludes the review of Kamen Rider Action Figure Kamen Rider Gav Popping Mi Form.
This is likely what many users have wished for, an Arts-sized action figure from boys’ toys, and as advertised, the range of motion is quite extensive, allowing for almost free posing. The painting exceeded my expectations, and the gradients look beautiful. It’s also great that there is a weapon included. However, the lack of paint on the weapon stands out against the high quality of the main figure.
Given the brand name, which suggests versatility, I hope for future releases of Legend Riders. If all goes well, I’d be even happier to see villains and other characters released like the Ultra Action Figures. This is certainly a series that I look forward to.
