I think that's a very good summary... Medicom knows where their bread is buttered.

You know... I'm suspicious of that auction. That figure doesn't look as good as other in-hand shots suggest. I wonder if it is a reproduction? No box... no stand... makes me wonder...
Is that kind of thing common with RAH figures? Would seem difficult to get a KO produced that fast after the initial release that looks that good, IMO.

I don't know... I know that PVC figures are reproduced all the time and is a major problem. Since the original Kaneda figure use to sell for so much, it may have been reproduced and they are now selling it as the "new version" cheap. Just a guess... I have no idea, and don't want to make anyone nervous about possibly buying the figure... I just have some reservations myself.

Looks to me like they have switched out the Medicom body for something crappy.
Look at the proportions and how mahoosive his jacket looks.

You may be right... all I know is, it doesn't look right compared to other in-hand pics I've seen.
Maybe. Looks like some futzing could fix some of that, though (sleeves aren't rolled up, pants seem to fit), and his feedback from other RAH figures is positive. In any case, yeah--buyer beware

Sorry, edited my post as it sounded real cocky when I read it back. 
But yeh, certainly looks poor compared to the other pics and I am fairly sure the body has been changed.

Don't mean to derail the thread but you have got some great Kamen Rider figures.
Feel free to share your kamen riders collection over at this thread https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62549&highlight=show+kamen+riders
And now back on topic....Where did u get your Kaneda from? I'm still waiting for my local retailers to get it.

I wonder if the leather material will flake in the future. Reason why I did not want to get this. Looks great tho.

Those are from Kamen Rider, which is a highly popular franchise in Japan. It's a sentai show, so that's why it looks kinda similiar to Power Rangers, since that was based on a sentai show as well.

Man, still don't love that headsculpt... but overall a great looking figure.
Wish they'd avoided the awkwardly cut neck; not sure why Medicom sometimes ignores details like that.
