So here’s a funny story. Last weekend I found a Kamen Rider Dragon Knight: Kamen Rider Onyx Figma figure. . .at a garage sale. . .for $5. . .in
OKLAHOMA! The figure was loose, but complete, so I couldn’t pass it up for only $5. It continues to boggle my mind that I found a great Japanese action figure at a garage sale, in Oklahoma of all places. I could understand finding this at a convention, but an Oklahoma garage sale? It felt I was in the Twilight Zone.
Once I got the figure home and checked it out, I was throughly impressed. Having only owned SH Figuarts from Japan, I was curious how Figmas stacked up. In my opinion, this Figma figure is much better than many SH Figuarts. It doesn’t feel like it is going to snap and break from being hollow, but instead feels sturdy and solid. I also like how all Figmas come with a stand for the figure, where you have to buy stands for Figuarts separately.
Now I only watched probably the first five episodes of Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. This was due to the fact that I felt the story wasn’t moving, the overall tone was too dark, and I seem to recall the creators basically insulting Power Rangers in an interview. Still the designs interested me, leading to me buying the US Belt and the video game. I just never returned to watching the series.
Anyway, back to the toy itself. I’m very pleased with this cool garage sale find, and I could not pass up giving this figure his own photo shoot. I’ve uploaded 14 total photos of the figure. I hope you enjoy them.
