Only two left from this set.
PG1169 - Kamen Rider Shin Nigo aka New 2
PG1171 - Kamen Rider Shin Ichigo aka New 1
PG1173 - Shocker Soldier
PG1174 - Shocker Soldier
PG1175 - Shocker Soldier
So let's start with PG1169 and PG1171. Based on the preview picture, PG1169 [on the left] should also have a scarf piece and colored belt piece, but mine didn't and didn't have a colored belt piece. Think this is just an issue on my own fig? Or does yours have the scarf and he printed belt?
Anyway moving on, they both come with their human heads and hair pieces! I'm thankful for these. More parts for MOCs if ever!
For the figs themselves.. well I didn't like them. I'm not a big Kamen Rider fan, but I don't need to be a fan of the character to appreciate its minifig. For this, the accessories might have been interesting, but the execution isn't too good.
Focus on the minifig itself first, without the accessories, well it's alright. It's not something commendable though since the print designs on the torso, legs, and arms are pretty simple anyway. At least they didn't mess it up somehow though.
The helmets look great from afar. Though when you get closer, you can see how the material is inconsistent, having lots of nubs and excess material and had some issues with printing. The material wasn't the usual plastic, it felt softer, kinda rubbery, but not enough that it was easily bendable. I just felt like they could've done more especially since the Godzilla, Heimdall, and Alien figs were pretty good.
The fit is pretty good though.
Side view.
Back view.
These are all the accessories included. You can see how the helmets' antennas and bases aren't smooth. You also see how only one belt has print, which is weird.
On to the Shocker Soldiers. There's not much to say. They're simple. That's them. Plastic quality is the usual and the print too. Both are good enough especially since these guys are simple designs.
They're all identical except for the head prints.. Although there aren't any prints anywhere else except the front.
I think Kopf's Kamen Rider is better. Though again, I know nothing about the lore and so it might be a whole different thing and might not even be comparable. It's also unfair since POGO's Riders are much more complicated in terms of design compared to Kopf's.
I hope to see the other two from AngeloMarcus Greenhills soon. I do hope POGO improves, stay tuned for reviews to see if they did improve or not.

I thought they were kind of cool but I don't know.
