In 2022 Japan, the government's announcement of human-Kaijin coexistence plunged the nation into a political and social crisis. When the battle-hardened former member of the five-member guard, "Kotaro Minami," encounters "Aoi Izumi," a young human rights advocate who champions peaceful coexistence, Kotaro will face a fated conflict with his former comrade, "Nobuhiko Akizuki," stemming from their differing ideals. The clash between the two will shatter the current social order and determine the destiny of all Kaijin......
Kamen Rider SHADOWMOON
Nobuhiko's second-stage basic form, transformed using the "Century King Moon Driver." He wields the "Century King Shadow Blade" as his weapon.
Kamen Rider Shadowmoon is primarily silver and black, featuring dark blue eyes and silver antennae. His face also has green lines, and his mouth is predominantly black, resembling that of a locust. On his shoulders are two vestigial insect legs, which can be torn off and used as spiked weapons. His arms and legs are covered in muscular skin, also adorned with spikes and green lines.
When he attacked Wataru Igaki, the leader of a Kaijin supremacist group, in his Kaijin form, his emotions were stirred. Awakened by intense rage, Nobuhiko Akizuki underwent a second-stage transformation, subsequently assuming the form of Kamen Rider SHADOWMOON.
The transformation process is the complete opposite of Kamen Rider Black Sun's: both arms swing to the left and clench, and a belt-like Century King Moon Driver appears on his abdomen. When his right arm swings clockwise and his left arm swings diagonally to the left, the left and right parts of the Century King Moon Driver merge, transforming Nobuhiko from his Kaijin form into Shadowmoon. He possesses superhuman combat abilities on par with Black Sun, and can also utilize the same supernatural powers as the Creation King. From his right palm, he can emit a telekinetic-like force to immobilize or explode enemies without physical contact. Furthermore, the armored locust legs on both shoulders transform into sword-like weapons when drawn. These can easily tear through Black Sun's tough skin, but each side can only be used once and does not regenerate.
Standing approximately 145mm tall. The overall sculpt and appearance are closer to the live-action suit and more aesthetically pleasing, making its design impeccable!
The head, chest armor, and other parts, which differ from the "BLACK SUN" design, are faithfully recreated with a brand-new sculpt. Furthermore, the body's colors are rendered in various shades of silver depending on the armor section. QC, coloring, and paint application are excellent! Accessories include 4 types of interchangeable left and right wrists, the Shadow Blade weapon, a grip handle for the weapon, and an interchangeable chest part. The playability is quite good! Shadow Moon's articulation throughout its body is also excellent, with appropriate tightness, allowing for stable single-leg poses. It utilizes the same new joint parts as "Kamen Rider BLACK SUN," allowing not only bending at the elbows and knees but also "twisting" movements, so you won't have to worry about posing him in any scene from the show.
A must-have for Black Sun fans!
