Shin Kamen Rider - Phase Variation Batta Augments - Movie Monster Series (Bandai)Phase Variation Batta Augments · Bandai

Bandai's Movie Monster Series presents the Phase Variation Batta Augments from Shin Kamen Rider, the 2023 film reimagining of the classic tokusatsu franchise directed by Hideaki Anno. Standing approximately 170mm tall, this soft vinyl figure represents one of the grasshopper-based augmented creatures from the film. Shin Kamen Rider reimagines the origin story of Takeshi Hongo, a man kidnapped and transformed by the evil organization SHOCKER, who escapes and becomes the masked hero Kamen Rider. The Phase Variation Batta Augments are among the monstrous transformed beings that serve as antagonists in the film, derived from the same grasshopper experimentation that created Kamen Rider himself. The Movie Monster Series line, which began in 2001, is primarily known for Godzilla figures but occasionally features creatures from other tokusatsu properties. This figure was released as part of the 2023 mass retail lineup alongside other Shin Kamen Rider entries including Kamen Rider and Kamen Rider 2.
