Kamen Rider W Heat Metal Color from the Kamen Rider W series, this time made into a 1/8 MG Figurerise model kit by Bandai. Distinct weapon in this figure is the metal shaft that hangs on the back.
I posted a while back that immersing into Kamen Rider W triggered a dormant childhood memory of watching a live action Japanese series where two guys join together to form a plane and a tank. Mainly in part to the concept of two guys forming Kamen Rider W. I think I spent about a couple of hours of my life yesterday trying to search for that particular series on the internet. So far no dice in trying to figure out what that was.
So far I wouldn't say that the effort was a loss as I ran into the Ultra Seven sound track. Boy did that bring back memories of singing that opening song a lot and irritating people in our household in the process *snicker*. Funny though, as I remember finding it to be such a cool opening song when I was young, listening to it now makes me think that it was corny. Makes me admire the fact that kids find beauty in the simplest things. Life was sure simple back then when we were young.
