AGITO FLAME FORM

Kamen Rider Ground Form was originally released by Bandai (Japan) as part of the Chogokin GD-30 SH Agito Set No.1 Agito Trinity Form in 2001. When Bandai Asia reissued SH Agito series in 2002, they broken up the set into three separate sets - Ground Form, Flame Form and Storm Form. By doing this Bandai Asia reduced the cost of the figure by market them in single box. There was side benefit for doing this as you can now displayed all three form of Agito since each of the HK reissued versions came with its own core body. By combining the Flame Form with parts from the other two Forms (Ground and Storm), one can also made Trinity Form of Masked Rider Agito. (See below)

 

Agito overall design was pretty much an evolution design from last year Kuuga series. Compare to the other Riders in Agito Series, however, Agito was pretty bland looking in comparison. Being successor series to Kuuga, Agito also inherited much of Kuuga design elements like this Form changing gimmick which made Agito well suited for the Souchaku Henshin series. The figure itself was well made with decent paint job, and using much of the same design format as the previous Kuuga SH series. With Bandai Asia split this particular Trinity box set into three separate sets, Agito Storm Form set came with the Flame Saber weapon that he used when in Flame Form. This Form appeared more often than the Storm Form in the show.

AGITO TRINITY FORM

GD-30 Agito Flame Form Set

Bandai-Asia released Agito Flame Form as single set instead of combining with the other two Trinity Forms. However, each set came with its own core body.

 

Chogokin GD-30 Agito Set No.1 Agito Trinity (c.2001)

 SH Agito Ground Form was originally sold as part of the Chogokin GD-30 Agito Set 1. The set actually came with three armors - Ground, Flame and Storm Form.

Unmasked Mode

Like other SH Riders figures, the body looks out of proportion and was solely intended for display with the "cloth" (Rider's Armor) on. The core body was similar style body used since the original Saint Seiya Cloth line which made it a little dated by today standard. However, this was one of the aspect that drawn me to this line. The ability to "henshin" into the Rider form made these SH figures a lot like small version of Henshin Cyborg and RAH costume hero.

Weapon Accessories

Agito Storm From came with his Flame Saber weapon.

Trinity Agito

By combining the three armor sets, you get Trinity Form of Agito. For Bandai-Asia HK version you have to purchase all three Forms to make this version of Agito.

Agito Trinity wield both weapons - the Storm Halberd and Flame Saber
