Macro photographer Eco Suparman captured this first ever shot of the Real Kamen Rider.
Of the photo, the Borneo-based Suparman says: ‘I was practising my macro photography, and there are a lot of small insects there. I was focusing on taking pictures of the mantis when I noticed the curled plants nearby. Straightaway, I thought it looked like a bike. But I couldn’t believe my luck when the mantis walked over and climbed onto the plant’.
It's been a while since i've posted about SIC Kiwami Damashii. I still think this is one of the best action figure series ever. Although the pictures show intense detail, these figures are only 4 inches tall.
This upcoming Side Bassher from Kame Rider 555 is awesome. The side car design does remind oneself of Kikaida, but in this case, it transforms into walking Mech. That is cool. Pre-order for ¥2,760 from AmiAmi. Due out late November.
Kamen Rider Kaixa is also available for pre-order. I like the design and he matches the Sid Bassher so you can't go wrong. Pre-order for ¥870 from Ami Ami

Here's a nice bit of nostalgia for you old school types. These are coin banks based on these Sentai Heroes. Based on the real co-op rides you find outside a grocery store in Japan, put in a coin and it will move back and forth as if you're riding it. Put an action figure on top and you're re-living your childhood...! Pre-Order yours for ¥2,190 from AmiAmi. Due out in April.
check out the real deal from Mark Nagata's collection. Shipping this thing from Japan was the real adventure...
