TOY NEWS FOR 9/27/2013 - BANDAI - S.I.C. - KAMEN RIDER THE BEE (TAMSHII WEB EXCLUSIVE)

Kamen Rider The Bee is an anti-hero character from the Kamen Rider Kabuto series.

Two individuals possessed the Zecter that allowed them to transform into The Bee, the first went on to possess the KickHopper Zecter, while the second went on to become PunchHopper.

With that history, The Bee becomes a pretty great companion figure to the just released KickHopper/PunchHopper 2-pack.

Aside from the character(s) himself, this is definitely one of my favorite Kamen Rider suit designs. While I know they've probably done all they can at this point with the insect designs that the KR series was based on, I do hope they revisit that motiff again soon. If they've decided to move on to fruit as a motiff (with Kamen Rider Giam) then maybe it is time to get back to those original insect designs!
