Review:

Out of all the kamen rider bikes, we consider Auto Vajin as the best. Not only is it a vehicle but also serve as Kamen Rider Faiz's robot sidekick. To prove this, we'll be reviewing it's SIC KT figure. First of all it's more expensive than the regular SIC KT figure and the box is slightly bigger as well. Included inside the box are the Auto Vajin's handles, pedals, side stand and a pair of hands for it's combat mode.

The Auto Vajin doesn't do anything while in vehicle mode. Like most bike models, the wheels turn and it's displayed using the side stand. We actually had a hard time mounting Faiz on to the bike. So it would look better if Faiz is just partially sitting on it. As expected the design is well detailed. You could clearly see the Faiz logo on the gas tank. Just looking at this bike will really make you curious on how does it transform into a robot. So without further waiting let's now talk about the exciting feature of the Auto Vajin.

Transforming Auto Vajin into combat mode is quite tricky. You really need to look at the instructions to avoid any fatal mistake. Just to give you an idea, the headlight is the head, gas tank is the chest, engine is the arms and tail part is  the legs. The back wheel is flipped over at the back of the figure. While the front wheel is removed and becomes a shield. Here's where the problem comes in. The pointy part of the right arm where the shield is supposed to attach is missing. We don't know if it's a factory defect or if we're the only ones who had this problem. Bottom line is it made the Auto Vajin incomplete.

Moving on, the Auto Vajin still looks good standing on it's own. You'll notice the boosters became heels for the feet to support the balance of the figure. Although don't expect too much from it's articulation. His movements are limited so the poses he can do are few. It's a relief that there are no loose parts unlike other SIC figures.

 Overall, the Auto Vajin is a great bike and a reliable robot sidekick. It's not so often you'll see a transforming figure like this. We would really like to give it a perfect score if it weren't only for the shield problem. But like what we've mentioned, it might just be with the figure we got. So be sure to check it out before buying it. Aside from that, everything else is fine. We really suggest every SIC collector to get this, especially if you already have the SIC KT Faiz. It would make your display even better. This concludes our review on the SIC KT Auto Vajin. Thanks for viewing and look out for more SIC posts.
