【Kamen Rider Zeztz】Making Yorozu Baku, who fights to protect reality, into a 3D figure! S.H. Figuarts' unique flexible action ability and abundant conversion parts can reproduce famous scenes from the show!

The protagonist of “Kamen Rider Zeztz”, Yorozu Baku, appears in S.H.Figuarts. Rather than the Kamen Rider itself, the point that the protagonist before transformation becomes an action figure might be what many people are drawn to first. Yorozu Baku is 23 years old, a self-proclaimed “normal fine young man” who is working hard on job hunting in the real world. However, in dreams, he plays an active role as the invincible agent “Code Number: Seven” who saves people who have fallen into crises. As a person who possesses different faces in such reality and dreams, even with a figure it does not end with just enjoying standing it up. From a figure with a sense of tension right before transforming to poses typical of an agent executing missions, it is an item where you can enjoy the broad charm of the character named Yorozu Baku in a single figure.

Hearing Yorozu Baku, after all, brings to mind the impressive transformation scene “I'm on it. Transform!”. In this product, replacement wrist parts are prepared in 5 types for left and 3 types for right, so you can make characteristic transformation poses while changing expressions of arms and hands. Fun as an articulated figure unique to S.H.Figuarts and reproducibility of gestures symbolizing the character are combined well. The time spent adjusting the posture little by little, thinking “Does it look in-movie-like with this angle?”, would also be an irresistible point for articulated figure lovers. Total height is about 150mm, so while maintaining ease of display, presence when posed can also be solidly expected.

If you thought “But is it a product to enjoy only transformation poses?”, there is no need to worry about that. A gun is included in this product, and scenes where Yorozu Baku is active as an agent can also be expressed. Furthermore, a complete set of belt parts is prepared, and the transformation belt is detachable. Because it is specified so Capsem and handguns can be held in hand, being able to display while switching situations like before transformation, during missions, and the moment heading toward transformation is the interesting part. Because a complete set of effect sheet and dedicated pedestal is included, rather than just placing a person, you will want to display as a single scene letting you feel the work's atmosphere. PVC and ABS are used for main unit materials, structured as a collection figure to enjoy sculpting and articulation.

As for the protagonist named Yorozu Baku, knowing the background changes even how the figure looks. In reality, he is job hunting while living together as two in an apartment complex with his younger sister Yorozu Minami. If only that, he is an extremely normal young man, but every time he tries to help people, he encounters misfortunes that make him feel even life-threatening dangers, possessing an intense misfortune constitution to the extent of being covered in the news many times. However, if he sleeps, the situation changes completely. Possessing the power of “lucid dreaming” where he can act freely while recognizing that it is a dream, he plays a brilliant active role there as an agent, his ideal self. Because his self as an agent is soaked in so much, to the extent that when asked for desired job types at the real employment agency “Ohayou Work”, he answers “Agent”. This gap between a young man who is a bit off in reality and a cool hero inside dreams is precisely the flavor unique to Yorozu Baku.

Yorozu Baku is a nationally popular talent and also a big fan of “Nem”, who supports him in the world of dreams. While possessing such a human-like side, in the story he encounters the unknown monster Nightmare, changing his life greatly. Appearing before him facing attacks in dreams is Commander Zero of the top-secret defense organization “CODE”. There, Baku, who was entrusted with the transformation belt, starts fighting as “Kamen Rider Zeztz”, a real agent who infiltrates human dreams to execute missions, rather than the ideal agent he played only inside dreams until then. Thinking so, I feel narrative fun even in being able to attach and detach the transformation belt with this S.H.Figuarts. Removing the belt makes him Yorozu Baku living daily life, equipping it makes him the protagonist stepping into a big mission. You can switch that boundary with your own hands.

The charm of S.H.Figuarts Yorozu Baku is not only making the figure of an in-movie person into a 3D object. It lies in being able to create various scenes of Yorozu Baku in your own way through replacement wrists, a gun, detachable belt-related parts, an effect sheet, and a pedestal. Daily life spent as a normal young man, a figure as an agent running through dreams, and a moment right before transforming into Kamen Rider Zeztz. Being able to think “Which Yorozu Baku shall I display today?” would be the real pleasure precisely because of enjoying the protagonist before transformation as an articulated figure. Not to mention people following the work, even for people who want to enjoy posing utilizing character traits and reproduction of in-movie scenes, it is a single figure where ways to play seem to expand the more you touch it.
