Kamen Rider Skull from the Kamen Rider W series that was made into a 1/8 scale MG Figurerise Bandai. Off the bat I have to say that I like the macabre design of Sokichi Narumi's Kamen Rider Skull suit. And the added touch of elegance and class with the torn fedora hat and flowing white scarf.
I don't know why, but the first time I saw this character the movie Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart immediately came to mind. I think its my mind automatically associating fedora hats, overcoats and a classy looking guy to good ol' Bogey *shrug*.
The 1/8 MG Figurerise Kamen Rider Skull is selling for $$$ at Amazon, 2700 yen at Amiami, 3040 yen at HobbyLink Japan, 3230 yen at Hobby Search
