Kamen Rider Black Rides Again – Hot Toys Unveils 1/6 Scale Figure with LED Henshin Features
Kotaro Minami arrives in sixth scale with LED features and screen-accurate detailing
Hot Toys has revealed its latest Television Masterpiece release: a 1/6-scale Kamen Rider Black Collectible Figure based on the 1987 tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Black. The figure captures Kotaro Minami’s signature black armour, red-eyed helmet, and Vital Charger belt, bringing one of the franchise’s most recognisable heroes to collectors in detailed form.
Background
In the original series, Kotaro Minami and his stepbrother Nobuhiko Akizuki are transformed into cyborgs by the cult Gorgom and destined to fight for the title of Century King. Rejecting this fate, Kotaro becomes Kamen Rider Black and vows to stop Gorgom’s plans while trying to save Nobuhiko, now the rival Shadow Moon.
