This is indeed an excellent

This is indeed an excellent toy. I got mine from pre-order and am very happy with it. The metallic red paint and clear yellow parts, along with the S.I.C. treatment, really make this toy awesome. For those who have Agito, it's a must-have.

I confess that, at first, I was a little disappointed with the fact that the exhaust pipes can't get aligned, but then I just turned the right exhaust (seen from behind) a little to the right and problem solved. Also, although cool, the hover mode is nothing show-accurate, but I think this is nothing compared to how beautiful the bike mode is.

By the way, are you sure there isn't anything in your front wheel that makes it not capable of turning? On mine, it turns without a problem...

Thanks for the review!

Ah, I should explain what I meant by the front wheel not turning. I meant that the axles for the handlebars weren't aligned with the wheel, so you can turn it by turning the handlebars. As you can see in the pictures, it turns just fine for Slider Mode. So yeah, my bad on failing to explain that very well.

Yeah, I thought I had mentioned it in my previous Kiwami Tamashii reviews, but I guess I never actually showed any pictures for size comparison! Here's a picture of Kamen Rider Garren next to an Iron man 2 toy.

They're a little bit on the tall side, but I just equate that to them being dudes in big armored suits.

I like the mech-organic that the SIC line brings to Machine Tornador. Though I am not a fan of all the SIC designs , this one is pretty sweet!

Nice review, thanks for

Nice review, thanks for including the Joe figure for comparison. With the shape of the bike, it almost looks like it could work for slightly smaller figures as well. How does it compare to other 1/18 motorcycles?

Glad to hear the size

Glad to hear the size comparison was useful. Compared to 1/18 motorcycles, the Machine Tornader is a bit bulkier. However, I don't think that's a bad thing because I've always thought that 1/18 bikes tended to be a bit too small.
