I like the sculpt of this figure. It took me awhile before I've come to accept the "chin-less" head sculpt though. Great articulation as expected.

Gripe: It seems that this line (KR Double) is a bit rushed. I noticed paint flaws in most of the available stocks left when I got mine. Paint chips, deep scratches, minor scratches and uneven distribution of paint (Both LT and HM). I got this after searching for 2 days comparing stocks from Makati->Greenhills->Makati. I finally found 1 good stock at BT, Makati when all hopes are almost gone... Whew... 1 out of 4 available. I have no complaints whatsoever with this one with regards to paint flaws.

The biggest gripe I have about the Kamen Rider W line are the joints. Why didn't they color it accordingly?

One question though, does your figure have the nub or nip mark on the V-fin area? I saw it on most reviews.

i forgot who told me this but it totally makes sense, the reason perhaps why they didn't color the joints accordingly is because they want to avoid paint chips on the joints.

The V fin is fine and smooth.

i agree to that.. my cyclone joker has a small paint chip in one of the hand options... but very little to be noticed... its a factory defect i think

Plus it saves Bandai a lot of money in producing new joints that are re-colored specifically for the W figures.

ei nice! great review! you're making me feel lazy in taking pics of mine now.

red in the shf version looked better than the real double... LOL... but since i have only limited budget, i only manage to collect the main characters and primary forms like mighty form, cyclone joker, and ground form..
