 AUTOVAJIN

Bandai released Masked Rider Faiz Series SB-555V Autovajin in 2003 as part of the Faiz toy line along with SB-913V Side Basshar. This was the DX Rider Machine style bike similar to the Masked Rider toy bikes released for Kuuga and Agito series in the previous years. However, since there were no Souchaku Henshin figures for Faiz at that time, the two bikes were pretty much a stand alone products until recently when Bandai began reviving Souchaku Henshin series and released Faiz and Kaixa in 2004. Autovajin was the bike used by Faiz in Masked Rider 555 TV show. In the show, the bike was able to transform into a robot sidekick to help Faiz in battle. 

This DX Autovajin however was non-transformable, actually it does very little else beside rolling on the floor and look pretty. (Bandai did release a transformable version of Autovajin for the S-RFH line, a 6" action-figures line for Masked Rider Faiz series which Bandai released instead of Souchaku Henshin in 2003).  DX Autovajin was well sculpted and pretty heavy (it seem to have a die-cast core) and was definitely scaled well for the 5" Souchaku Henshin figure. (It's a little big just like all the other DX Rider Machines for SH series). The bike had very little play feature beside being semi-realistic looking and two smooth rolling wheels. The toy came with PVC figure fixed pose figure of Masked Rider Faiz that can be removed. Since the toy came out a little while ago and was now out of production, it might take sometimes to locate. I found this particular one on sale at a local toy show.
