After two years hiatus, Bandai finally release two additional Souchaku Henshin Masked Rider 555 series figures, GE-13 Masked Rider Faiz Blaster Form and GE-14 Masked Rider Orga. Both suits make the first appearance in the special Faiz The Movie "Paradise Lost" (along with Masked Rider Pysga). Orga and Pysga are movie only characters while Blaster Faiz show up regular on the TV show. Masked Rider Faiz Blaster is the final power-up form of Faiz. By using the Blaster Unit, Faiz suit get power beam from space via satellite and transform into Faiz Blaster.

The core body for Orga is similar to the one used for the other Faiz Series figures. The armor parts fit nicely and the shoulder gun unit can be stored in the backpack. The most unique feature for both GE-13 Faiz Blaster and GE-14 Orga is the used of clear plastic lens for the eye pieces. I have always wish Bandai would do this with the SH figures since the clear lens really make the figures much more realistic and give them texture not possible with paint application. The lens look nice on both Orga and Faiz Blaster and I only wish Bandai would have done this with the future Souchaku Henshin release, however so far it seems only Faiz Blaster and Orga are the only two figure with this special treatment.

Unmasked Mode

Like other SH Riders figures, the human body underneath can look out of proportion and is solely intended for display with the "cloth" (Rider Armor) on. The core body is similar in style as the body used since the original Saint Seiya Cloth line, however for the 2004 SH line, Bandai have retooled the body to make it more modern. While the head still appears too small due to having to accommodate the mask, this removable "armor suit" however, is one of the aspect that drawn me to this line. The ability to "henshin" into the Rider form make these SH figures a lot like small version of Henshin Cyborg or the RAH costume hero.

Weapon Accessories

Masked Rider Faiz Blaster Form come with Faiz Blaster that can be fold up in storage mode or turn into gun or sword with included attachment parts. Bandai also include grip hands to use with the accessory.
