So, to be pick-up service and a modeling nurses and Takayuki Takeya said, the technician-Fujioka Yukio, who continue to produce the transcendence specific shaped object as its right arm to represent Japan, which has continued to support over the backbone of about 15 years of the series.
Mr. Takeya talks about his relationship with "SHIN MASKED RIDER: Prologue", the production secrets of "SIC MASKED RIDER SHIN" and "SIC Kaiseki Soldier Level 3", and the future prospects of the "SIC" series. rice field.

■ Encounter with "SHIN MASKED RIDER: Prologue" and SIC Showa Kamen Rider

――First of all, please tell us about your relationship with “SHIN MASKED RIDER: Prologue” (hereafter “Shin”).

Takeya:At that time, Mr. (Keita) Amemiya invited me to help out with various video works every year, but in "Shin" Mr. Amemiya entered the scene as MASKED RIDER SHIN 's transformation scene coordinator. That's why I was invited to make the big grasshopper face that appears in the image scene. Rainbow Zokei Kikaku was in charge of the main sculpting, and for Shin's suit, I wonder if I helped apply the gel on site (laughs).

――Is this your first time working on Kamen Rider?

Takeya:This is the first time since it was before "MASKED RIDER ZO".
However, at that time is the utmost that do a given job in front of the eye, afford to feel something deep emotion like a did not at all. The scene It is not done only a few days, it was a blink and Taffeta. But when then of the "ZO" is, there is a storage and sleeping in prefabricated and large rooms of the studio called "morning Naa sleepy early on location" or "I wish was anyway cold night" (laughs).

- By the way, Mr. Fujioka, but I think that it is not whether the production of works, do you or seeing the video when a prototype of modeling?

Fujioka:Steel has naturally reference but ...... video work has been made to not watch. Since the image is gone solidified can not be imagined freely in their own and watch, it often can not watch the video especially in the case of the old days of work. To or watch the recent Hollywood movie than that, "and it is now, kana? Become something like" It is important that people of inflating the image of.

Takeya:I think that is best for the reference case, the steel of the "thin" in that sense. It imagination swells, I will feel that Nozomeru in the best state.

――Now that you have the Showa Kamen Rider SIC, does it feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders?

Takeya:Ando not we just to have been done also in the team of (Kenji) 's, maybe this ahead also there that Do not wonder I am allowed to matter a lot, in fact I do not like that deep emotion (laughs). But as long as the guests feel the joy of "uniform" to the user of you, I think that grateful.
Although For thin it had to appeal to commercialize from the time of the split and the series early, and gone after all the last to become.

■ Production secret story of MASKED RIDER SHIN & remodeled soldier level 3

- That Shin of the original design line is close to the "SIC" also, it might be one of the reasons that commercialization has become the last. Order to SIC the thin, how did you think about the arrangement?

Takeya:Although we organize to be easy to put the joint, not particularly tampering part as a design even when this time of commercialization, it is the extent of changing the head and body and balance. Remodeling, but with respect to the soldier level 3 has increased the arm, I to this is also only drew thought "Do not these people is good" as a toy of play value.

- Interpretation that arm of remodeling soldier level 3 increases is, I think that it is happy arrange the SIC fan.

Takeya:You You can also replace the head thin and. Personally, in fact it is or was the aim (laughs).

- Own interpretation in that is, on the cover of which was released last year, "SIC HERO SAGA Vol.4" (Hobby Japan published), the figure of Singh wearing a rider suit was very vivid.

Takeya:With or stretched schedule entered in between other work, it is at the stage of last December had not yet can only until the upper body of Singh. So in "HERO SAGA" I am, I decided to put those in a state in which dressed with a copy of the upper body.

Draw a diorama-inclusive design image while also image, such as at the time of the back setting, "When I met If old Tachibana Hyoe Fuji is true, would us to prepare this mask," it said, I was thinking also set the Arekore is. Ishimori because professional Hayase (Masato) san who wrote the story in a bold set of "true son", I set the thought of I eventually became a dead issue (laughs).

- Shin and remodeling soldier level 3, does it differ from how much it is a design to common areas and multilingual likely?

Takeya:In fact, forearm and shin of remodeling soldier level 3 has a longer than Singh. Subtly it's degree of difference that long, shared parts because of that is surprising in that little (laughs).

- Upper and lower arm of remodeling soldier level 3, interference is likely, but I'm movable properly.

Fujioka:There is, I feel that was adjusted while making.

Takeya:But it is easy to draw (laughs).

Fujioka:When viewed from the back side with the arm, it looked like something that suddenly grows. So in order to reduce the discomfort, we put a wing-ish parts in the back.
In addition, since remodeled soldier level 3 there is a volume also in the back side of the part of the neck, in the wings part there was also the sense that Komu take the line.

Takeya:Design was Ppoku stoop added to the volume in the back of the neck, Shotaro (Shotaro) teacher I have often drawn in such rough draft. However, since the head would no longer be moved, it is also often in the video works would be omit. But the case of toys, because the intention of the original author would like to reflect as much as possible, we want to incorporate, if possible.

- Coloring, but is somewhat brighter impression than the image of the video?

Fujioka:Real suit is Yes painted in a complex process, but only say that became a bright impression Once you simplify it, basically it has been faithfully reproduced in the original text.

Takeya:It looks dark because it's video night scene is large, suit seen in the field also much this is the brightness basis, I feel strongly the saturation a little bit.

Fujioka:Shin's suit has a fairly fine shadow, so it looks black on the whole. Also, the Shin of "SHFiguarts" announced earlier had a slightly blackish impression, so I also wanted to make it look different.

- Perhaps because of that impression, it looks as natural hero.

Fujioka:The basic line is a creature, but why was conscious to look Ppoku hero.

Takeya:Impression of the neighborhood is, I You vary considerably even stand to how and posing.

■ the "SIC" in the future, the message to the fan

- Please tell us about the future prospects of the "SIC" series.

Takeya:Personally, when I look at past item, there are things that I want to fix, so if I have the opportunity, I would like to try a renewal, and I'm somehow delusional that I wish I could establish a series of monsters. Hey.
After that the robot detective ...... for example Takumitamashi size, mother of the head of the same scale want. Because we want to accommodate the robot detective on the forehead but the mother of the head is likely to be much human Large (laughs), I'd like to draw Arrange the mother.

Fujioka:When I watch recent Iron Man movies, I want a fully movable robot detective (laughs).

Takeya:At the same since Inazuman that also love, I want a full mobile. Since the design is different in the original comics and the television version, I'd like to make a both a good Toco up guy.
As for riders, I like MASKED RIDER X and RIDERMAN, but I made X fairly recently, so I guess it's a renewal of RIDERMAN. If I were to remake it now, it would be interesting to have lots of interchangeable arms.

- So in the end, do you have a message to the "SIC" fan.

Takeya:Decorate enjoy get to be How can happy in, It should be noted that I am happy if you can treat it as material. Or modify to suit your taste, color is added or .......

Fujioka:And or put a stain, I want to enjoy more.

Takeya:Or try a combination of parts, or try to put a feather, good even try to dress a suit to the thin (laughs). Once you can play plus something that kind of his ideas, as is made by that side I think it comes down to favor.

- Especially since Singh is a character that is not only drawn prologue, there is room for such imagination.

Fujioka:I also Takeya's and Looking at the most I'm the same but ...... user of the net like a picture, "I was re-painted the color" of everyone, "Oh, interesting Do" You think, that kind of thing is the next piece I because it also may become encouraging.

Takeya:In this thin it comes with a head part of the Australian Island makeover body as an option (remodeling soldier level 2), but we expect it will us to up to the net surely make a whole body of someone Australian Island makeover body ( Lol). Tilt fuck by adding a hand like that, you want to enjoy.
