What we’re introducing this time is the ”Monsmoto Kamen Rider Edition Rider Garage Set 01: Kamen Rider Zeztz Esprim Recovery.” The name alone is exciting, but actually handling it strengthens that impression even further. If you think it’s just a simple set with a figure and a bike, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. It has a solid core for play, yet it also provides the full enjoyment of displaying it—it’s truly an item that balances ”playing” and ”showing.”

One of the major attractions of this product is the action gimmick using a winder. Pulling it and letting go sends it dashing forward with vigor, leading into jumps and spin battles; the movement is fun just to watch, but operating it yourself increases the sense of immersion. I felt that the design was very clever in that it allows for movements focused on battling rather than just simple straight lines, naturally expanding the range of play.

Another highlight of this set is the included garage display. It’s not just a background; it’s a configuration that thoroughly creates an atmosphere for the world, completing a ”scene” just by placing the figure and bike. There’s a sense of unity including the background sheet, and it’s interesting to be able to create a space with your own hands that looks like a snapshot from the series. Since you can display it as is after playing, you can really feel the high collectible value.

The presence of the included weapons cannot be overlooked either. They aren't just mere optional parts; they are important elements that add a narrative element to your play. By having them hold a weapon, it expands not only the range of action but also your imagination regarding ”what kind of battle is taking place,” making the play more multi-dimensional. The existence of these detailed parts gives the impression of raising the overall quality of the set.

As for the set contents, everything you need is included: the Rider figure, bike, winder, weapons, a complete garage set, and a background sheet. A major draw is that you can dive into the world the moment you open the box without having to prepare anything extra. Especially for those encountering this series for the first time, this ”all-in-one” sense of security is likely a very appreciated point.

Looking at it comprehensively, this product has an excellent balance between action and display capability. It’s fun to play with, of course, but because it has a level of perfection that is satisfying to display, it becomes an item you can enjoy for a long time. I felt that the way it naturally incorporates both ways of enjoying it, without leaning too far toward one or the other, perfectly embodies the charm of this series.
