Kamen Rider V3 has two very different ways to light up. The helmet’s green eyes run on batteries, while the red light in the Double Typhoon belt takes USB power and is activated by a magnet. The Special Edition adds a metal V3 card in a display case.

Swap the helmet for Hiroshi Miyauchi’s Shiro Kazami portrait and you can adjust his gaze. The deployed V3 Hopper gets its own display wire, leaving his hands free for the V-sign.
Toei’s Rider encyclopedia identifies the V3 Hopper as Shiro’s reconnaissance device. It launches from his belt to survey the area ahead. The tiny piece that hangs at his hip represents the unit before launch.
The little cap and necklace are for the Kamen Rider Kid Corps. Toei’s series guide explains that members received Rider-inspired headgear and pendants that worked as communicators in the show. That gives those two small props a connection to Shiro Kazami’s world beyond the transformation belt. Keep the pendant next to the human portrait if you want to show that side of the character alongside the suited V3.
The two light-up features use different power sources. Batteries power the green compound eyes in V3’s helmet. The red Double Typhoon belt takes USB power and has magnetic activation. Leave space behind the shelf for the belt connection if you want both lit. There are also two helmet-related pieces to distinguish in the contents photo: the figure’s LED Rider head and the accessory helmet for the unmasked look. The middle option between the two portraits is the pair of V-sign hands. That gesture looks right whichever head you fit.
Toei’s character guide traces Shiro’s transformation to Kamen Riders 1 and 2. They save his life by rebuilding him as V3 after his encounter with Destron. The double design across his waist is a striking reminder of the earlier pair. It is also easy to misread a photo of the belt: the two red circles are part of a single Double Typhoon, while the V3 Hopper is a separate device with its own holster. Only the metal collectible card and its display case separate this Special Edition from the regular TMS162 box.
The Kamen Rider Black RX review is a useful comparison if you’re deciding how to light the helmet and belt on a Showa Rider display.
