Some photos of the Kamen Rider Dragon Knight figma figures taken at the Hobby Maker Show 2011 Winter and Wonfes 2011 Winter event.
The Dragon Knight series of Kamen Rider is a remake of the Japanese version called Kamen Rider Ryuki. The interesting thing is that its being reverse-imported back into Japan with Japanese dubs - trailer on the top page of the official site. Meanwhile you can see the English trailer below.
All of these are released by the Max Factory/Good Smile team and you can see the whole collection at Good Smile.
Have been playing with a couple of these already and they look most coolsome indeed. Have not seen any of the series but still like the figma's. In fact I find that in many cases I discover anime or game titles from the figures. At first I didn't particularly like Lucky Star but started to watch after getting figma Kagami which is so cute. I don't tend go for figures just because they are of a particular character but rather because I think they look good.
Back to Kamen Rider - my fave series so far has been Kabuto. I actually bidded on a Kabuto suit on Yahoo Auction but lost the bid ^^;
All photos taken on the Lumix GF2 with the 20mm pancake lens. All Wonder Festival coverage being tagged "wonfes" with previous posts listed up below.
