S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider W CycloneJoker (2010)

This is way past gone. It got the boot because mechanically it was AWFUL. The joints weren't agreeable in the ankles, the hands were hard to wrestle onto their balljoints, and, exacerbating both of those problems, the antennae—and honestly the entirety of the thing—felt brittle. Nothing ever broke, but the fear was disgustingly constant. It seemed as if I was trying to articulate a piece of glass without breaking it. Though small, the accessory count is exactly what it needs to be (see below the cut) and the paint is rather miraculous, especially on the Cyclone half. Though, because W's aesthetic is predicated on halves, the black elbow joint there does stick out, unlike with Yoko.

If you just want to look at it, it'll fit the bill. But, as with the Shinken ladies, this is a Figuart and articulating it is the point. For me, W and Figuarts were just a match made in Hell. W specifically. Accel rules.
