”I can't find the name 'Kamen Rider Action Figure', did the series end?” No need for such worries. The series name has been newly changed to ”TAF ”, and it is developed as ”Kamen Rider My-Th TAF Kamen Rider Mutn”. Although the name has become new, the quality such as size, sculpt, and joint mechanisms cultivated in the conventional series is firmly inherited. If you already have Gavv or Zetz, you can display them side by side or move them together with the same series feel. For people who have continued their collection, this compatibility should be a welcome point.

If expressing the direction of the TAF series in a single phrase, it is ”a figure that looks cool displayed, yet can be moved to your heart's content”. While condensing realistic sculpting into an easy-to-handle size of about 15cm total height, as many as 37 points of articulation are equipped all over the body. Furthermore, it features a sturdy design that meets the safety standards for target age 3 and up, aiming to balance the fun as an action figure for children to play with and the level of perfection that makes adults want to display while researching poses. Rather than taking the direction of ”I want to make a cool pose, but I'm scared to touch it because it seems breakable”, the appeal characteristic of TAF is assuming that you will move and play with it repeatedly.

One of the points to note in Mutn is its characteristic arm covers. While such large decorations look good, in action figures they sometimes interfere with weapons or arms and restrict posing. However, in this product, the arm cover itself is articulated from the base, so you can adjust its position even when holding a weapon. In other words, action capability is secured while keeping the design features. Being able to look for a powerful silhouette characteristic of Mutn at your favorite angle, such as swinging arms up high or readying a weapon, is a point that people who actually want to move and play with it can appreciate even more.

Although it might seem subtle at first glance, the evolved neck range of motion cannot be overlooked either. Compared to the Zetz series, it has a structure that allows looking even further upward, making it easier to create poses with the body bent far back or pointing the gaze toward a high position. In action figures, the persuasiveness of a pose changes considerably depending on ”where it is looking”. Furthermore, since the pull-out mechanism continues to be adopted in the shoulder, chest, and waist as in the My-Th series, you can express dynamic movements using the entire body rather than simply bending arms and legs. Not only the number of 37 moving points, but even how each joint can be utilized has been thought out.

Of course, Mutn's exclusive weapon ”Sheep Hammer” is also included. With articulation performance this high, you naturally want to have it hold the weapon and do action to your heart's content. Replacement wrists are also substantial, with multiple wrists prepared including ones for gripping the weapon with both hands. If you change the wrist, you can change the holding stance or action atmosphere even with the same main body, creating the fun of trial and error such as thinking ”Maybe this angle brings out more force”. It is a structure where it does not end once the figure body is posed, but allows playing over and over while changing combinations of weapons and wrists.

And what makes you go ”Oh?” when looking at the set content is that even ”Maou Blade” is included. This is a weapon corresponding to the separately sold ”TAF Maou”, included to match its unlock in DX toys. Furthermore, a weapon-holding wrist for the right hand is also prepared, so combining it with Maou can expand how you play. The set includes the Mutn body, 5 replacement wrists, Sheep Hammer, and Maou Blade. Enjoying it standalone is of course great, but it is a design where combinations between figures increase by collecting the series.

”TAF Kamen Rider Mutn” is an action figure that makes you want to touch and move it anyway, not just look at its realistic sculpt. 37 points of articulation, evolved neck movement, pull-out mechanisms for shoulder, chest, and waist, movable arm covers, plus abundant weapons and replacement wrists. Each element connects to the single objective of ”creating poses more freely”. Children play heartily, and adults thoroughly pursue postures reminiscent of the show. Once you get the roughly 15cm Mutn in hand, before thinking about where to display it, it is a figure that makes you want to have it grip the Sheep Hammer first.
