The green Kuuga, with a gold upgrade built in
Kamen Rider Kuuga was the first Rider of the Heisei era, and Pegasus Form is one of his most recognised looks: heightened senses, a green frame, and the signature Pegasus Bowgun. This kit builds that form, then swaps in the gold-plated Rising Pegasus upgrade using the parts already in the box.
It's a good fit for anyone building out a Kamen Rider shelf alongside their Gunpla, or a Kuuga fan who wants the character in model kit form rather than a pre-painted figure.
Build difficulty
This is a Figure-rise Standard kit, Bandai's snap-fit character line, rated for builders aged 15 and up. No glue is needed for assembly, and the parts are moulded in the finished colours, including the gold-plated Rising Pegasus pieces, so there's no painting required for an accurate look. Bandai doesn't publish an exact part count for this kit, but as a single-figure build with one weapon and a set of interchangeable hands, it sits well within reach of a confident first-timer.
Technical highlights
The chest and shoulder sections are newly sculpted for Pegasus Form, and the Pegasus Bowgun is a dedicated newly sculpted weapon with its own grip. The Rising Pegasus upgrade swaps in gold-plated parts across several areas of the body, which also convert the Pegasus Bowgun into the Rising Pegasus Bowgun. The kit uses Bandai's wide-range Figure-rise joint engineering, built for the dynamic poses Kuuga pulls off on screen, and ships with a display stand.
What makes this kit special
-
Two forms, one box: build Pegasus Form or swap in the gold Rising Pegasus parts, both included, so you're not buying two separate kits.
-
Gold-plated Rising Pegasus parts: a genuine metallic plating finish rather than gold paint, for the "green and gold Kuuga" look straight off the runner.
-
Dedicated Pegasus Bowgun: newly sculpted for this release, with its own hand part, not reused from another Kuuga form.
-
Snap-fit, no paint required: moulded colours plus factory-applied gold plating mean it looks accurate straight off the runner.
-
Wide-range articulation: built to hit Kuuga's signature poses, including his flying kick, without fighting the joints.
-
Display stand included: nothing extra to buy before you can pose the finished figure.

Compatible kits
This is a standalone character kit, not a mobile suit or an accessory, and Bandai hasn't published confirmed compatibility with any other branded accessory, so we're not going to guess. It already ships with its own display stand, so there's nothing extra to add before you can pose it.

What to watch for
Bandai's own product notes flag that the gold plating on the Rising Pegasus parts can come out thin in some spots, depending on where a part sits on the runner. It's a factory finish variance, not a fault, but worth knowing before you start clipping parts free. This is a selectable-build kit: the gold Rising Pegasus pieces are included alongside the standard green Pegasus Form parts, so switching looks means swapping components rather than flicking a single switch.
Builder tips: handle the gold-plated parts by the edges where you can. Plating shows fingerprints and scuffs more readily than the standard moulded plastic, and it can't be touched up with a marker the way a moulded colour can.
Build notes
No glue and no paint needed for an accurate build. A pair of nippers is recommended for cleanly removing parts from the runners (not included). Expect a single sitting for most builders given the part count and snap-fit engineering. Recommended for builders aged 15 and up, in line with Bandai's own age guidance for this kit.
