The hands for holding the blade grip the handle tightly and you may need to carefully work them over the sword grip when you get the figure. It's only tight around the base of each blade so there shouldn't be any paint scraping.Īll of the joints on the scabbard allow Raiden to pose as if he was drawing the blade from its sheath. Raiden's signature high-tech scabbard is mounted on an articulated arm that uses several double Revoltech joints to allow it to maneuver around.īoth the HF Blade and the knife slide snugly into their sheaths.

Push up on the D-pad to switch to AR mode.Īfter removing both of the two panels on either side of Raiden's head and the front part of his hair, you can peg in his Augmented Reality visor. Raiden's eye flashes red in the game when he does something especially badass so for most of the review I have him set up with that eyeball. I must admit the small detail markings on his face are bit rougher than the rest of his body, but I find that his overall look is more than enough to make up for it. The effect of changing his eye color is quite dramatic as red-eyed Raiden gains even more intensity to his already frightening face. To turn either eye you can use the included tool to hook into the small hole in the back of the eye or you can try to use your fingernail. I'd recommend turning his eye so that you're pushing down on the white part rather than the colored iris. Swapping Raiden's eyeballs is an odd affair as you have to place his face over one of the blank pieces and push the eye down through into the waiting socket of the other part. Oh did I call it a bandanna? I mean the highly advanced collection of tiny cameras woven into a flexible cloth! Thanks, Doktor!

Each hand also has an additional hinge for moving them either up and down or inward and outward depending on the hand. You get three types of display bases, a plethora of hands, a pair of blank faces for holding his different eyeballs (yes really), a little tool for messing around with his eyeballs, his High Frequency Blade, his knife, the articulated scabbard for both weapons, his Augmented Reality visor, a Revocontainer for storing some of the accessories, and a watermelon.Īll of Raiden's hands peg in at the wrist which allows them to rotate a full 360 degrees. Raiden comes with a good number of accessories for assisting him in cyborg ninja activities. Raiden's waist is made from a rubbery material that flexes around in order to help hide some of the gaps that open up as he moves. He has very smart joint placement that allows him to pose with all the agility befitting a cyborg ninja. The sculpted details of his body are nicely done with all the artificial muscle fibers and Yoji Shinkawa style bolted plates flowing into each other.Īs a Revoltech, Raiden possess a lot of articulation that is accomplished with Kaiyodo's trademark clicky joints. Raiden is alright at standing up unassisted but can be a little tipsy due to having feet that aren't exactly flat on the bottom. Raiden is made mostly out of hard PVC parts with some flexible bits in his waist.
