Kamen Rider V3 - Knife Armadillo - Toei Retro Sofubi Collection (Medicom Toy)Knife Armadillo · Medicom Toy

Medicom Toy's Toei Retro Sofubi Collection brings Knife Armadillo from Kamen Rider V3 to collectors as a prepainted sofubi figure standing approximately 240mm tall. This figure represents one of the monstrous kaijin from the 1973 sequel series that expanded the Kamen Rider franchise. Kamen Rider V3 follows Shiro Kazami, who becomes the third Kamen Rider after the original Riders, Takeshi Hongo and Hayato Ichimonji, sacrifice their powers to save him. The series introduces the villainous Destron organization, successor to Shocker and Gel-Shocker, which deploys a variety of mutated cyborg monsters to conquer Japan. Knife Armadillo is one such Destron kaijin, embodying the creative and often bizarre monster designs that made the Kamen Rider franchise a cultural phenomenon in Japanese television. The V3 series is particularly remembered for its higher stakes and the emotional weight of its hero's journey. Produced under license from Ishimori Pro and Toei, this Toei Retro Sofubi Collection figure is manufactured by Medicom Toy as a limited made-to-order product. It captures the vintage sofubi aesthetic that pays tribute to the golden age of tokusatsu television and the enduring legacy of Kamen Rider's rogues gallery.
