Medicom 1/6 Kamen Rider V3 Destron Doktor G (ドクトルG)


From Kamen Rider Wiki :
Doktor G (ドクトルG Dokutoru Gē?, 13-30) / Kani Laser (カニレーザー Kani Rēzā?, 30) is Destron's first general in a knight armor who originated from Germany and was given charge to oversee their operations in Japan. He is the leader of the Mechanical Army. He wields a battle axe, a short sword, and a knife. In the comics, his scorpion-shaped helmet could transform into a deadly scorpion, but this didn't happen on TV. Most of his monsters are cyborgs that are the same type as Destron Leader's cyborgs. Pronounced his enemy's name "Kamen Raaaaida V3!". After numerous failures, Doktor G summoned the spirits of his dead, evil warriors to transform him into Crab Laser for his final battle with Kamen Rider V3. Despite putting up a heroic battle, he was destroyed by V3's V3 Tailspin Return Kick.

Seems like all the bad guys from Kamen Rider are exclusive. Doktor G was a Hyper Hobby magazine exclusive and it only ship to an address in Japan. So you can see that such exclusives that managed to "sneak" out of Japan should command a handsome price. It was but sometimes, you gets lucky and this is one of my lucky catch.
This was an opened before set but the figure itself is as good as new. I reckon the ex-owner just open up to see what the Doktor looks like apart from pictures.
This is a fine figure by Medicom and IMO, Doktor G has the most accessories and are dressed the most elaborate among all the bad guys bosses. There is really nothing to dislike for this figure.
Together with the Marchall Armor, this was one of my Kamen Rider grails and really glad I finally has it in my collection.
