Kamen Rider 3 3/4 Figures by Ban Dai

[bayushigemma]

Heads up for those of you that like these figures cause I found them at Five Below for only 3 bucks each. They are quailty Ban Dai molds that if they of had articulation on the arms would have been a much better line in my opinion but I'm a sucker for most martial arts lines that are in the 3 3/4 range and these get a thumbs up from me especially at the 3 dollar price tag.

You might be interested in these Kamen Rider figures too, current on going series in 1:18 scale www.1999.co.jp/search_e.asp?Typ1_c=111&scope=1&scope2=0&urikire=1&itkey=S.I.C.+ultimate

Wow what a beautiful set of figures! Are these in the 3 3/4 scale cause I don't understand what 1:18 means?

Yep figures sized 3-3/4" correspond to the 1:18 scale. If you're into toy lines in this same scale Takara made Votoms robots (with pilot figures) a few years ago as well www.1999.co.jp/eng/10050390

Awesome finds fishandchips! I feel slighted as a collector in not being able to get these top class molds here in the US. Did they make other Kamen Riders besides the ones you've showed in 3 3/4 size? I've seen some on Ebay but I'm not sure at what sizes they go?

[fishandchips]

Yes for popular series such as this the Japanese toy companies usually make a wide range of figures available at a variety of price points. They range from 1" for candy or capsule toys up to 12" or higher for deluxe collector stuff. Additionally licenses don't work the same way as in the US - the Japan companies are willing to share the same license so there's plenty to choose from.

Heyya, just so you know, if you go back to Five Below, they should have Sting and Strike for the same price now. Otherwise, eBay prices can get up to $30

I did find one set of them but the Five Below around my way they are slow to stock them and don't really have room to put in new figures. I hope to find many more so I can at least open one set. Thank goodness I never overpaid on Ebay for them cause they were impossible finds before Five Below got them recently.
