Recreating the iconic scene of episode 47 of Kamen Rider Black. Titled "Death of the Rider".
How my heart sank when I watched this episode, when Shadow Moon mercilessly dive his Satan Saber sword into the body of Black Sun.
Anyone guess which Medicom RAH Shadow Moon this is from? version 2009, version 1.5 or version 2.0? Can't tell the difference? Well, they look the same to me. It pained my heart when I broke one of the arm of Shadow Moon Ver. 2009, after i posed it riding the battlehopper. Sob.
Now what you are seeing is the Ver. 2.0. I am taking great care in posing this figure, slowly manoeuvring the torso lest I broke them again. Mind you. Once the arms breaks from the elbow, it is almost impossible to join them back and make them pose-able again. One thing I have learnt is to study the skeleton body of version 2009, see how the joints works and it's limitation. This figure doesn't come cheap, so have to handle with great care. Shadow Moon looks popular enough for Medicom to came out with 4 versions. The 1st version default in around year 1999. But to me, they aren't any difference in looks spotted between the last 3 versions, except for an additional pair of twin swords for version 1.5 and 2.0 used by Shadow Moon in Black RX. If Medicom is using the same body type for all the last 3 versions, then articulation wise could be the same.
One of the red jewels on the satan saber sword came off while I was fixing the right hand to the sword. Fortunately I found it on the floor. Was disappointed that the jewel could came off so easily.
Oh yes, Now I remember I have the 1999 1st version from many years ago which I have sold, and the jewels came off so easily too. Hmm.. seems like Medicom never learnt.
