Queer Eye for Kamen Rider Nadeshiko

It is a long time since I have done a 'Queer Eye' outfit critique, mostly because no other costume has really peaked my interest to make a review. Let's start with the face, hers is similar to Fourze expect that the 'V' space antenna stretch out on the back looking like bunny ears or a girl's ribbons, I rather like the design. Her eyes look like Fourze but the whole face looks cute, like one of those cute little Anime of space girls. The belt looks straight on the front but looks like its at an angle on the back, I like when women's belts are sideways, harking back to Batgirl int he 60's Batman series. Her primary colors are cyan, silver and black, I think the black trims help the outfit from being bland. The cyan cuffs on the feet and the boot heels remind me of Kamen Rider Kivara. I like how the cyan front becomes a sailor back like a Japanese school girl, it is like a trick, you don't expect it. It might remind some people of Sailor Moon, but the reason she has that is because she is a high school student. I like the pink collar, I wish they had used more pink, maybe a stripe around the cuffs or a piping on the legs. All in all, a great outfit, I would had wished her helmet was silver instead of white, to match the suit and not look too much like Fourze.

Presenting Kamen Rider Nadeshiko, Poseidon and Fourze's Elec State

 Thanks to Psowill for notifying me about this.

 The upcoming Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie Wars MEGAMAX will have two new riders.  Kamen Rider Nadeshiko is a highschool student who wants to be an ally to Fourze. Gentaro is also supposedly to fall for her. Kamen Rider Nadeshiko has a darker blue Fourze Driver, it looks like the Rocket Module is the only available Astro Switch for her. And her transforming food product is french fries. Poseidon sports an OOO Driver with what could be Shark, Whale, and Bering Wolffish. I knew Fourze would bring us a female rider! Yay!

Heroine Profile: Kamen Rider Larc

Kamen Rider Larc is the alter ego of Natsumi Miwa. She first appears in Kamen Rider Blade: Missing Ace. Natsumi Miwa originally applied as an office worker, but was berated by the boss. As a result, she knocked him out after having enough of his words. She was handpicked, along with Shin, by Glaive to become the New Generation Riders for BOARD to capture the Undead released by the Albino Joker. She is armed with the L'arc Rouzer, a crossbow. H

er weapon is based on the Garren Rouser and the Chalice Arrow. Her primary finisher is Ray Bullet, a supercharged energy arrow. She was killed by the Albino Joker shortly after all the Category King Undeads had been resealed. Her rider name, "Larc", may come from the French words "l'arc" which means "the bow", being the replacement of Chalice, as well as Garren, for the team's long range fighter.

In Kamen Rider Decade, she was played b the same actress and had the same name, but she didn't appear in Blade World, but in the WOrld of Diend. Haruka Miwa is a young woman who resists Fourteen as Kamen Rider Larc. She took part in the operation to overthrow Fourteen and ended up escaping with Shin when the operation was a failure. Since then, she has been on the run from Fourteen's minions. She helps fill Tsukasa in on what is currently happening in her world.

Toy Week: Kamen Rider Kubrick Figures

These are not MegaBloks, and are similar but are called Kubrick. Kubrick has done Mickey Mouse, Star Wars and various others. is a line of collectible block-style figures and associated products created by Japanese toy company MediCom Toy Inc. The name Kubrick may also be seen as a hybrid word of the Japanese word kyu, meaning the number nine, and the English word brick. "Kubrick" was chosen in honor of filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. In further homage to the filmmaker, the Kubrick logo is designed in the style of the logo created for his movie A Clockwork Orange.

The Original two Kamen Riders, Hibiki, Todoroki and a villain.

The helmets pop off. They had the red version of Hibiki as well. Even though it says 'Vol. 1', there didn't seem to be a Volume 2.

This package came with the original Kamen Rider and Kamen Rider Ryuki.

These Kamen Rider Dragon Knight figures are very well detailed. Dragon Knight, Torque, Sting, Thrust, Camo and Siren.

Onyx is a extra, meaning it is harder to find, but its there. These didn't seem to pop off helmets.
