Bandai S.H.
This category is used for entries related to Bandai’s S.H. Figuarts, Monster Arts, and similar figures.
Bandai | D-Arts | Charizard
My favorite Pokémon has always been Charizard. It didn't matter what game version I was playing, but I had to have Charizard on my team. I think a lot of it has to do with his origin story in the Pokémon cartoon where Charmander was abandoned by his trainer, and I really hate it when animals get abandoned or mistreated. So when little Charmander grew into Charizard it just gave me warm and fuzzy feelings. Continue Reading
Bandai | S.H. Figuarts | Riderman
The first Kamen Rider sidekick was Riderman who joined Kamen Rider V3 in fighting Destron. It seemed like an odd thing to do considering how popular and how strong V3 was so for most of us as kids, Riderman simply got in the way. Yet, he's considered one of the legendary Riders. Not sure why, but ok. Continue Reading
Bandai | S.H. Figuarts | Sadako Yamamura
Every once in awhile an action figure gets produced that you never thought would happen.

Bandai | S.H. Figuarts | Kamen Rider V3
And then there were three, and what a third it was! Things got really interesting when Kamen Rider V3 hit the scene, and the series holds a special place in my heart as it was the Kamen Rider series I grew up with. He was the first Kamen Rider who talked trash to the villains, and even laughed at their faces when he was discovered spying or breaking in. This Rider had no fear and let you know about it.

Bandai | S.H. Figuarts | Kamen Rider 2 (New)
Kamen Rider 2, also known as Nigo, has always been my favorite Rider. I grew up with V3 and he was always the cool cat, or bug, but Nigo was the one I liked best. So it's really no surprise to me that he was actually the first figure I picked up in the S.H. Figuarts line. But it wasn't easy. Continue Reading
