S.H.Figuarts KAMEN RIDER GEATS MAGNUMBOOST FORM (First Production)
Kamen Rider Geats is transformed by Ace Ukiyo, known as the Deza Shin, a consecutive winner of the Desire Grand Prix. MAGNUMBOOST FORM, who showed off an impressive fighting prowess at the beginning of the story, has been selected to be the first figure in the S.H.Figuarts "Kamen Riders Geats" series. Let's begin with this item, just before it goes on sale.
The design, with its interweaving of white with bright vermilion—and proportions from the show—has been faithfully recreated. Approximately 350 coloring processes were involved. As the main character in the fourth Kamen Rider series of the Reiwa era, the parts and gimmicks were given an elaborate attention to detail to match the appearance of the figure.
The head, based on a fox motif, is delicately structured. with the inside of the ears largely removed. The inner parts of the ears are largely detached, but S.H.Figuarts has managed to achieve a perfect balance in sculpting this aspect as well. The combination of the transformation gimmick and the beauty of his profile lines is a key aspect of this figure.
*The tip of the nose is partially detached to prevent the eye parts from being damaged when changing. Please refer to the supplementary information provided in the online instruction manual that will be available at the time of product release.

The texture of the white armor has also been fine-tuned, and the scarf is made of a soft material that reproduces cloth-like wrinkles on the surface. The included Magnum Shooter 40X (handgun mode) can be mounted on either side of the belt.
Here is the lower half of the body equipped with the "Boost Buckle" in Boost Form, which has won numerous games for the player who possesses it. In contrast to the flowing, Japanese-inspired upper body, the mechanical design has been meticulously crafted.
The muffler-shaped portion is particularly eye-catching. The distinctive burned-in finish is recreated with gradation paint and accents the MAGNUMBOOST FORM, which is mainly white, black, and vermilion. The muffler base can be rotated and angled to match different poses and scenes.
The Desire Driver has two detachable Raise Buckles and a central ID core created via pad printing. Also note the metallic painting on the Boost Buckle. The Driver can be manually rotated, letting you enjoy the "Revolve On" pose when changing forms.

The includedMagnum Shooter 40X (Handgun Mode) in Geat's hand!
The Magnum Shooter 40X can be fitted with the Raise Buckle and the Boost Buckle, as well as the Magnum Buckle.
The Armored Gun folded into the forearm can also be deployed, expanding the range of Geats' brilliant gun action when combined with the Magnum Shooter 40X.
S.H.Figuarts KAMEN RIDER GEATS ENTRY RAISE FORM
Next up is ENTRY RAISE FORM, which is the form before the Raise Buckle is installed. The lines running diagonally through the fuselage are painted with gunmetal. The arms, legs, and torso have been given fabric wrinkles. Although the design is extremely simple, the quality of reproduction is on par with that of MAGNUMBOOST FORM.
Both the MAGNUMBOOST FORM introduced earlier and this ENTRY RAISE FORM have a very wide range of hip articulation. The ENTRY RAISE FORM in particular conveys the movable potential of the figure. You can see that even with these high kicks, the leg and body lines remain intact.
ENTRY RAISE FORM includes the Magnum Shooter 40X (Rifle Mode) and hand parts to hold the handle of the Raise Buckle.
The S.H.Figuarts "Kamen Rider Geats" series comes into its own when both figures are finally released in March! Two figures can be displayed at the same time, with Magnum Form carrying the Magnum Shooter 40X in rifle mode and Boost Form using his propulsive power to confront the enemy.
"It's finally his turn."
"BOOST TIME. MAGNUM BOOST GRAND VICTORY!"
With the gripping hand wrist parts, the sequence of twisting the Raise Buckle before activating the "Magnum Boost Grand Victory" special move is more accurate to the show. The forthcoming MAGNUMBOOST FORM is enjoyable enough on its own, but when paired with ENTRY RAISE FORM, the play value increases exponentially!
S.H.Figuarts KAMEN RIDER GEATS MAGNUMBOOST FORM is released February 18. S.H.Figuarts KAMEN RIDER GEATS ENTRY RAISE FORM is released in March!
