(comment) The engine, seat, instrument, and bottom are made of tin, and the tires and grip are made of rubber. The front and rear are luxuriously made using clear parts. The transparent cowl is easily damaged, but it remains clean. There is also a spacer left in the box. The sofubi has two surprising parts, and the upper body, including the arms and head, is pulled out in one part, so it is finished in a shape that has the distortion unique to sofubi at the time. It was a series where the color scheme of the motorcycle with the auto character made by Yonezawa was changed and sold with the special effects hero. In addition, Kamen Rider, Silver Mask, Inazuman, etc. were sold using the same motorcycle. When it comes to the means of transportation of life-changing heroes from that time to the present, the impression of a motorcycle is strong, but the Rainbow Man in the play does not ride a motorcycle, including Yamato Takeshi before his transformation.
From the toy manufacturers of the time, vehicles with no heroes on board were sold in various ways, changing only the dolls, which has led to the creation of people who aim to collect the series other than collectors of specific characters (Koshizaki)
