Kamen Rider Kabuto

Lately I've been making sure I get my weekly dose of Boukenjya and Kamen Rider Kabuto every Sunday morning. For those who dont know, Kabuto is the sixteenth installment of the Kamen Rider series which is in its 35th year.
To describe this series in a sentence - its a super hero action series where a guy in a suit and a helmet that looks like some sort of insect who goes around on a bike beating bad guys up. OK, there is more to it than that and you can read a better description at Wikipedia.
The guy underneath the suit is human in normal form and when harassed by a bad dude, he whips out his Zecter (a small insect looking device) and exclaims "HENSHIN!" (変身!(へんしん!)) Which roughly means "Transform!" where he morphs into what you see in these pics.
He has an array of most coolsome weapons like the Cast Off system where heavy duty armor (not shown in these pics) bursts off Kabuto's body to mow down baddies within close vicinity. I find myself running around the house (and at work at times) yelling "CAST OFF!" or "ONE, TWO, THREE, RIDER KICK!" - thats what you hear when Kabuto is using his weapons - I think its just Kabuto being kind enough to let the bad guys know what they where hit with.
You can get some of Kamen Rider Kabuto at You Tube where you can see the Cast Off in action ^^.
Now for the suit - I really want one! But me thinks that 260,000 yen is a bit too much no matter how accurate this suit is - this seller has other suits going at Yahoo Auction...
Hmmmm. still considering though.
