"Battle Worn" KR1: The NEXT

[Ridah Shunsoku]

Awesome helmet!:buttrock:
Yea the color is a bit off and the striping on the side of the helmet is different than in the movie.
You maybe got a sketch or something for your costume?

Howzit Takumi,

Thanks also...I know my helmet differs a "lot" in terms of detail and coloring...as for my costume idea...read on!:thumbs:

looks VERY NICE. Very nice helmet. Your friend got it for you from eBay?

Hey DeathWished,

Yep...from ebay..now he only has "one arm and one leg".:sweat:

Henshin Safely:buttrock:

Just for clarification, the Cheapo version is not a DX Version, its the Cheapo $20-$30 Version, a DX Typhoon Belt would easily be worth more than $300...that is if there was a DX Typhoon belt made back in 1971. The $500 belt you referred to is the Adult Size belt, a step up from DX.

Yo HaiTien78,

Cripes man, what a welcome back!:O_O: :laugh: Well, the "cheapo version" I got ain't no $20-$30 in the USA...but my bad on the "DX".

Good seeing you.

awesome helmet. Doesn't really look "that" battle worn, but it's still awesome and I wish i had it.

YO BRO!!!

Yeah, I know it's a far cry from the movie...but it is awesome. Put a LOT of "closure" on my coolection.:buttrock:

Take care buddy, and Henshin safely in the cat free zone!!!:thumbs:

can we get soem info on the helmet. liek how sit fit, how well can you see out of it and such. How abotu soem pics of the inside please.

Hey RyoShin,

The fit is not bad, but there is a killer chemical smell inside the helmet...not sure if it is from the paint or the glue used for the VERY thin foam lining. You can see out of the black "slots" under the "eyes", and not too good either...has something to do with the amount of space in between your eyes when wearing the helmet IMHO.

Will try to take some pics of the inside later...:thumbs:

Congrats!!! Great helmet!!!

Thanks Solid Snake!

BTW, your avy Riders are coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!:buttrock:

The Tribute Belt (well, the one that wasn't a Hero Net exclusive) is the "New" Rider 1 version anyway (that has a red belt part instead of white.) The one you have can either be painted white, or I'd guess you'll probably rig up some kind of new belt with just the buckle part from the actual toy, cuz the red plastic belts that are on the cheapo ones are pretty restrictive.

If you're thinking of making a more classic "Sakurajima"-style Rider 1, the colors on the helmet there are about right. I can't really tell from the lighting, but the top of the mask should be a slightly darker shade of green than the bottom (this is true of the real NEXTy mask too.) The gloves, boots and chest armor are the same color green as the bottom of the mask, or just about. And as you mentioned, there's no stripes on the original suit.

YO IGABRO!!!

Man, been a LONG time no see!!! Ogenki desu ka?:buttrock:

Ahhhhh, the "belt straps" on that one I am getting look like the ones on my Kabuto DX belts...ya know, they snap in place. That's why I figured I was getting a DX version of KR1's belt.

Um, regarding the "suit" I am going to attempt to make revolves around the helmet's current color...I mean, if I make a suit like THE NEXT, that helmet is gonna stand out a bit too much. It's like a silverish-gray, there is no green on it whatsoever.:shakefist That being said, I wanna keep the LOOK of "THE NEXT", but with a color scheme like this KR1 suit:

Wakarimasu ka?

So...just imagine the KR1 COLORS of the suit shown on the gasha, BUT on the KR1 suit of THE NEXT.

Whatcha think?

Thanks for checking this one out bro!:buttrock:

From the pictures you took, it looks dark green to me, but that's probably because of the background.

Also, you said you wanted to make "Old School Rider 1 version 2", which to me means the guy on the left:

Yo RyoShin,

How tall are you if I may ask? The helmet is sorta large in terms of it's "width" when viewed from the front...
Will take inside shots when I can...also, love your avy!!!:sweat: Whoa!
