Review: S.H.Figuarts Shocker Combatant

 

My third review so far ~ thanks for your support, doing this one is a bit hard for me as i wanted this review to be special.  My rating for this figure is hmm.. 3/5, but i do have to say that its worth the money if you can get it below 3000yen.

 I know this figure is not as popular as other rider figures or their villains, but i do have to say that this figure has a good play value. Though i hope Bandai would  release it in more accessories. I'll explain that as i go along the review.

My summary rating for this figure are as follows;
Articulation: Good, 3/5
Color Quality: Good, 3/5
Accuracy: Good, 3/5
Accessories: Good, 3/5


        
 The box art similar to showa Ichigo and Nigo design.

The  inner plastic.

The figure comes with some accessories. A staff, knife, and three pairs of interchangeable hands, plus one hand holding coin to re-enact a scene in OOO & Den-O movie where a shocker rider founds a core medal.

 Size comparison with a Triple A (AAA) battery.

The limit of how the hands can be bent.

 The face details, personally I think its funny, but Bandai should at least gave him with more face expressions. Come on, how can we pose this guy with different situations with just this face? I really think Bandai should make an effect set for this guy. Or probably create a version of a fat chubby shocker combatant.

Torso details, the skeleton markings is not just painted but its seems it is embossed. So that's a plus.

 The belt design are a bit big though. Not really sure whether its suppose to be this big, as i did not pay any attention to shocker combatant details in any of the series. However the details are very fine and clean.

 Small details at the belt. If you notice lower details you're gay.

Zipper details at the boots.

 However, no fancy detailing at the sole.

The shoulder joints connector  are the old design, but i do believe this design looks better for a figure that doesn't have any shoulder pads.

 The crotch connectors is also the old ones. I believe its probably the same as Tatoba, so expect the figure to be a little bit loose.

 Here is a more detail look of how it looks like.

 This figure is highly pose able. But like I've said, its a bit loose. So you just have to be patient when trying to pose it.
 
 Different angle.

As I said earlier, this figure has a mid rating. But although I rate it a bit low, Its just because of its simplicity. If you're on a tight budget. I'm pretty sure you can get it at a very low price for now. But if you want to re-enact a scene from the series, or do a great display. I suggest to get a minimum of three of this dudes. The more the merrier. Enjoy the rest of this review with different actions that you may create with these guys.

 Situps

 We need more face expressions.

 Bowing, without stand.

 They can also do flame kicks. (Effect not included)

 Awesome kick with expressionless head. (Effect not included)
Great to pose with any boss baddies.

 I notice the shocker hands gloves design are similar to Rider X design. But X hands are smaller.




Details design at the body of the knife. 



 Borrow Proto Birth hands. (Effect not included)

 The inside of the shocker suit. XD. (Effect not included)

Behind the mask is a handsome guy. (Effect head not included) 


 Shocker handyman. (Effect not included)







Hope you enjoy my shocker review. Till next time :D
