KAMEN RIDER DEMONS FUCKS

But he also reveals the problems with some of Revice's design decisions

Okay, so, cards on the table, Kamen Rider Revice has some of my favorite Kamen Rider designs. When they work, they are these slick, cool, iconic designs. It is a season that does legend rider designs the best, integrating the designs without being too overbearing (or just being the other riders). Jeanne is probably the best rider girl design, it's all so rad.

Kamen Rider Revice also has some of the worst Kamen Rider designs ever. Whether it be Live's highlighter yellow, or Over Demon's bullshit, some of these suits really suck. To be fair, I think the series is more hits than misses, but still.

That brings me to this thread's topic. Kamen Rider Demons. This is an ancillary rider introduced fairly early on into the series, and is a rider system that jumps around a lot, being basically Fenix's main rider system. However, the initial suit is primarily used by our boy Hiromi. And, to be honest, this design is rad as hell.

The undersuit initially has this muscly texture, looking like tendons strewn about. This muscly texture is also on the belt, tying it into that design as well. From there, the red muscles are strategically covered by a mixture of blue and bluish silver armor. It plays on the classic Spider-Man color combo to great effect. It all works so well. However, the main Vistamp gives the spider web armor on the torso and head, which is intelligently set up in the neutral black, with the other colors being the same silver and red on the rest of the body. This webbing also has an asymmetry, giving an extra visual appeal to the suit, but has a simple, nearly smooth texture, helping to not leave the suit over detailed. Plus, the whole suit has a sharp, intimidating, militaristic feel, especially exemplified by the permanently angry front eyes, flanked by some extra spider eyes on the side, glowing in a clear blue through the webbing. It's so cool! You think it would be too busy, but it somehow all meshes so well together. I would love to see him in Spider-Verse.

From there, a bit of history is given to the suit design with... KAMEN RIDER VAIL

This suit is militaristic, but in a different way. Covered in metallic armor, he wears a baggy undersuit. This both gives the suit a more aged feel (It's meant to be an older precursor to the modern rider systems) and gives the armor the freedom to be more complex. It integrates a darker silver than the main Demons and copper for the Kabuto parts. I do really enjoy this suit. However, it's important to note, because both of these suits are a part of the history of my least favorite suit in the (main) show.

OVER DEMONS

Over Demons basically just slaps the two suits together to poor effect. The undersuit is unchanged from Demons, and the torso armor is nearly unchanged from Vail, and they do not mix. The Vail armor adds 2 new colors, a new silver and bronze, all of which fight for your attention. Plus, the detail goes overboard, the torso armor adding just a bit too much texture that was gone in the main demons suit. What doesn't help is that the helmet, newly designed for the suit, adds 2 NEW COLORS, a light blue and a bluish white. It is too much.

And this is the problem with many of Revice's slapped together suits (even some of the main suits if you dislike Thunder Gale). It slaps two aesthetics together that do not mesh at all. Another great example of this is Evil/Live. The undersuit is really detailed and has a lot of colors, but the smooth black torso armor balances it all out. Then live adds a shiny white and highlighter yellow for some reason.

They use reuse to either over detail the designs, have too many colors or both. That's not to say reuse is bad, it isn't. And I get it, Revice was strapped for budget. However it can be done well. Evility Live uses the Evil undersuit and mixes it with the Holy Live armor to great effect. Destream uses the century suit, which is in a neutral white with some red details, and gives it a cool blue touch.

It can be done, but Revice sometimes just doesn't. However, that doesn't mean that Kamen Rider Demon's suit was cool enough for me to spend too much money on an action figure of it.

Shelfie Showcase (pt 3)

Here, we finish the actual book case with the bottom level, and start a few detail and closeup shots.

On the bottom level we have a lot of artbooks, hardcovers, and oversized volumes. All heavier stuff that would bow the higher shelves.

I try not to put too many toys down here, because it can be a dust magnet.

And yes, I realize how lucky I am to own that Tekkon Kinkreet edition.

How could I forget this one?? Dekaranger Robo!

Now for the detail shots.

First up, DX Dekaranger Robo. What an incredible toy. I got a huge deal on this a few years back, sitting in an overstock sale a few years after release. It's such an incredible DX release. Comfortable without diecast, well integrated electronics, and solid construction.

Now if you'll allow me to indulge in some detail shots.

Next up, the big two here are Souchaku Henshin Kiva, the missing link between Souchaku Henshin and SH Figuarts. As Bandai began to transition from the gimmick based Souchaku Henshin line to the collector aimed hyper-poseable figures. All of the shiny silver is chromed diecast metal. It feels like a beast in the hands.

and

Revoltech Kinnikuman, my favorite figure of him-- despite the Figuarts technically being a better toy. It's the solid stance and super dynamic proportions. It feels just as bombastic as the manga its based on.

Lastly, I've got to give a little more love to that neon monster Megatron. The purple led makes it light up like a black light in person. It looks so great from across the room.

There's just something pleasing to my eye when you toys in wildly different scales on a shelf. It elevates the display to more than just a figure collection.

Twitter Stinky

oofI’m posting some of tweets of my alt twitter that I like here- since I’m emptying my timelines. Feeling a bit uncomfortable with the whole elongate situation. very stinky

For me, a lot of these tweets were memories even if I didn’t use twitter that much.

I still have not really used that camera. Feels bad man. I need to get over my anxiety.

I’ll probably replay miles morales somewhere later this year or next :) Trophy run for spiderman games before spiderman 2 comes out.

that gif tho

memento mori

Wait- I played runescape last year? I forgot about that.

Oh Wibble... Dearest. I miss her so much.

My favorite tweet of all time haha. If I made more money this year I could invest in action figures again.. But eh, the economy sucks right now. Adopts don’t sell all that much.

Ok this hurts. But its important for me to be able to remember stuff.

I love her.

I was pretty active in 2021 all things considered.

I guess I am a gamer?

Yes.

I will get a nice case for all my figures should I ever get my own room or ‘’house’’ which will likely take 30 years if you look at the dutch housing market.

This is actually good and informative for me. I feel sick everytime around august and september due the weather changes. I am dealing with still right now!! I’m recovering from it, AGAIN! Man!!!

I def want more marvel legends figures cuz theyre sturdier than sh figuarts and of course, more affordable.

Bread got me feeling meh nowadays.

I completed ps4 spiderman trophy run that year- i believe it was my first trophy run. My 2nd was horizon zero dawn. (Base games only, not dlc.)

BABY MEEP

all things considered 2021 was not my worst year. This year probably is.

And yeah, while I don’t post about it lately- dissociative amnesia is something I deal with everyday. I posted very early on tumblr about it in detail if you want the post lemme know. also, i have cptsd not ptsd- rip. I’m actually doing much better than I did years ago, idk I have a handle on things nowadays.

More spooder.

Oh baby. I miss her purrs. I miss how affectionate and cuddly she was. Meepy is getting there, but these two pigs have different personalities compared to Mikki and Wibble.

I’m actually doing better socially this year.

Man Meepy got really thicc LOL If you compare her to my recent posts.

OH baby... Mikki was getting really old. I miss her.

I sincerely doubt I’ll ever be able to save up that much for so long again, that was such a big achievement for me. Being able to spend so freely. This year I’ve mostly been looking into what hobbies to prioritize when I did have money available. When you’re young and were so used to barely having things- once you have access to that- you have a phase of impulsive spending or simply spending to make yourself happy because you suddenly could. I think a lot of people experience that at least once in their lives. Its like when you’re an adult you realize you can go out at 3 am and buy cake somewhere and eat it. I mean- it’s not a good choice but it made you happy. That matters.

Now looking back, I doubt I was cryptic LOL.

trash taste don’t like my trash taste though. I’m a big marvel fan. mcu has let me down lately unfortunately but its ok. I have comic books.

..I need more of him :(

I think this was when I change my twitter nickname to ‘’your average gay nerd’’

Amazing game.

she kinda big now

APPARENTLY when people lack limbs karens have the audacity to question it- there’s so many posts of people with prosthetics being made to take them off just to show Karens they are disabled LOL what a world we live in.

watch dc superpets its for everyone

#rip twitter #memories #i'm posting these here because I currently don't trust twitter #don't mind me #funny #commentary #I forget I have a personality sometimes #sorries #im just your average gay nerd #gaying up the place #twooter bye
