Toy-Ventures: Kamen Rider Mystery Figure

[RSS]

Bit of a departure this week as I'm talking about a figure I literally don't know anything about. This mysterious figure is from Portugal, appears to have been made in the late 1970s and is clearly based on the Kamen Rider tv series from Japan.


The big question is why? Why make a very nice unlicensed action figure of a character nobody in Europe has seen? Who released this? I really don't know if we'll ever find out.

As soon as I saw those arms and those hands, I thought "that looks like a Captain Action body", and sure enough...it is! Fascinating stuff. I hope you learn more and can do a sequel!

So far I've discovered that the series was broadcast in Brazil in Portuguese, so i'm thinking it's a safe bet the series was actually broadcast in Portugal, which fills in at least one blank.
