Shadow Moon was given a limited release by Medicom, being what Medicom calls a 'Mail away order' figure to Kamen Rider Black. Means that, in order to get Shadow Moon, you have to get the Black with a special ticket to order. But, it never happens to my place here. :(
I'm actually got him together with Black. The price is about HK preordered price back in 2009. So it is lucky!
This guy now is like....really really expensive! Mail-away figures are usually an expensive fare, don't complain and accept the facts. However, this guy is really making me fuss!
Medicom's quality control is really bad! Last round, I have a broken Black fist on the joint. This time is more serious. The whole shoulder of Shadow Moon (left) was broken in the box itself.
When I unboxing this guy old, I straight notice there's a very loose feeling on the entire left hand. Damn! When I touch it, it feels like already detached from the body. To get myself back into the mood again...This is what I think. Luckily the black fabric underneath the silver suit is holding the entire shoulder and arm. It is better than the whole hand drop off.
I tried the hand, it could still able to raise the hand properly. I would have to use some strength to turn and raise up the hand. Make use of the fabric clothing and the silver biceps to hold and make the hand stays.
Alright, enough of complain. Back to the topic...Shadow Moon is really the most definitely looks freaking awesome rider. Right out of the box, it can actually draw your attention to his shiny armour and detailed headsculpt. His headsculpt looks completely awesome and detailed accurate like what you seen from the TV series. Every piece that the suit you seen in the series and movies are represented here on the figure, and you can almost imagine where every piece goes and how it fits...so well. From his belt, to his to his foot. Anyway, I like his green eyes too!
The grasshopper limbs on the foot and shoulder make the entire figure looks more outstanding. He also comes together with his signature weapon - The Satan Saber! The Satan Saber is made with tiny red jewels on it. Nice! But I am still feeling like lacking some accessories...
Lastly, Shadow Moon is one of those figures that many people would love to have, especially you are Kamen Rider fans and you want to pose him together with Rider black. However, looking at the price, it is generally making people to give up. Grab him if you really still can find him in lower price.
