![]() ![]() It isn’t surprising that the Wonder Ride Book has been done this way given both the price of the figure and the recent trend in releases, but it definitely makes the Driver look underwhelmingly plain. As has been the case with most transformation items in the last few years, the Wonder Ride Book lacks a Brave Dragon sticker/tampo or any identifiable detailing, instead simply done in red and black plastic to denote just what it is. The Brave Dragon Wonder Ride Book is removable from the Seikan Sword Driver, and can be inserted into one of two slots on the Driver. Getting a malleable cloth piece was a bit of a pipe dream for a mainline figure (and a cheaper release one at that), but the piece is still softer than the line’s usual array of soft plastic parts. The coat tail around Saber’s right leg is made from a very soft plastic, which can bend in as much as it’ll move out of the way of the leg but not so much that it can contort into a different shape or anything like that. The flames around the left eye are a little on the sharp side, but also could prove quite fragile if the figure were to fall or anything like that. The head sculpt has been really nicely done too, with more metallic red paint around those yellow compound eyes and running up onto the blade protruding out of the forehead. The suit (and in turn the figure itself) feel a little lighter on the sculpted detail then some of the other recent Riders, but certainly make up for it as far as colour is concerned. Running throughout the body is are also lines of glossy red, which then change into metallic orange for the right arm and hand. The red is a little more varied, comprised of unpainted red plastic, glossy paint and a rather gorgeous glossy metallic paint job on the arm itself. ![]() Bandai have done a really nice job in giving each of these sections slightly different finishes, with the matte black transferring into a glossy white. Kamen Rider Saber follows the long tradition of split colour Kamen Riders, with his body divided into near-equal blocks of red, white/light grey and black.
