Hot Toys Kamen Rider V3 Sixth Scale Figure

Kamen Rider V3: What Comes in the Box

Planning Your Display

The V3 Hopper can ride at his hip or sit out on its display wire in deployed form. Two white wired capes let you carry the same sense of motion up behind his shoulders, and the interchangeable hands include V-signs and a knifehand strike.

In the show, Shiro launches the Hopper to scout ahead. It sends pictures back to his helmet, which explains why this little flying device is in the box alongside the Kid Corps hat and necklace.

A Closer Look at Kamen Rider V3

The metal V3 collectible card and its display case are the Special Edition TMS162B bonus. Check the model code if those pieces are what you’re after.

Why V3 Has Two Turbines on His Belt

Toei’s official Rider encyclopedia explains how Shiro Kazami becomes V3. Riders 1 and 2 operate on the gravely wounded Shiro and give him traits of both predecessors: the first Rider’s technique and the second Rider’s strength. The two turbines on the Double Typhoon are part of the transformation, spinning when Shiro leaps into the air. The helmet’s antennae and the two lengths of white scarf make the upper half of that pose instantly recognizable in silhouette.

The differences between the figure’s hands help sell the original performance. A right pointing hand and a separate three-finger left gesture let you frame the beginning of the transformation, while the right knifehand works for a strike. There’s also a dedicated right hand for the compact Hopper. If you’re setting up the transformation before the leap, the scarf pieces and collar all have wire, so you can carry their movement to one side of the head and leave the two belt turbines visible below the arms.

Where Shiro Gets His Power

Toei describes V3’s abilities as twenty-six secrets that Shiro has to discover over the course of the series. Those twin turbines provide power, while his signature kicks carry him back into the air for another strike. The Hot Toys set includes a pair of V-sign hands as well as fists, so the same green-suited figure can greet the Kid Corps or square up to a Destron opponent.

If you collect the Showa Riders together, the Kamen Rider Black RX review compares that figure’s helmet lighting, belt and kick pose.

Riderman first appears in V3’s series. Our Hot Toys Riderman page shows his red chest armor and the Cassette Arms he carries into battle.
