The metal, armor-mode-only toy is labeled as 1\/20 scale with ZDC (Zinc die-cast) badging and indicates that the bike-mode-only toy will be part of the line. The ZDC line, which was to include armor mode versions of Stick, Ray, Yellow, and Houquet, never made it past Stick with the only other release being a 1\/55 scale, two mode transformation Legioss. When the bike-mode-only toy made it to shelves, no metal was present and the box doesn\u2019t mention ZDC nor 1\/20 scale on the packaging showing a migration toward a younger demographic.  At about 10.7 cm long, the toy is about 1\/18 scale and, since the rider can be removed, may pair well with other 1\/18 scale action figures you own. Without the transformation gimmick or metal, these toys lack the primary elements of the hottest collectible but this is a representation of the most iconic mech from the series and was the best representation of the motorcycle in that era. The tires are made of rubber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-6.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-6.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"15483\" data-link=\"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15483\" class=\"wp-image-15483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-6.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-6.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-6.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-6.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-6.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-13.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-13.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"15484\" data-link=\"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15484\" class=\"wp-image-15484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-13.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-13.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-13.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-13.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-13.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sculpt, Detail, and Paint: <\/strong>(6\/10)<br> The representation of both the bike and the rider are fair.

Moving the kickstand back allows the toy to roll. When the kickstand is in the rear position it is only narrowly off the ground so it acts to keep the toy standing perfectly erect. Since the rider is generic, it would have been nice if the gauntlets were interchangeable and it came with the parts to swap it into a VR-52T\u2026 but they were probably hoping to sell that as a separate toy had things turned out better for Mospeada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gakken Bike-Mode Ride Armor vs Matchbox Armoured Cyclone Toy Showdown\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/27ZaA6GZnCo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Durability &amp; Build: <\/strong>(9\/10)<br> The bike is basically one piece of plastic with no real tricks so the only thing you should fear is breaking the connecting pegs the rider grabs (and that doesn&#8217;t seem easy to do).

This bike has a rider that could also have been made articulated but was not. 1 point for an operable kickstand and 1 point for wheels that spin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-9.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-9.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"15486\" data-link=\"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15486\" class=\"wp-image-15486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-9.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-9.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-9.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-9.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-9.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-10.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-10.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"15487\" data-link=\"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15487\" class=\"wp-image-15487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-10.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-10.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-10.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-10.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-10.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-11.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-11.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"15488\" data-link=\"https:\/\/anymoon.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15488\" class=\"wp-image-15488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-11.jpg?w=3840&amp;ssl=1 3840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-11.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-11.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-11.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gakken-Non-transformable-bike-mode-11.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Total Score: <\/strong>(26\/50)<br> If you\u2019re nutty for Mospeada, then this can be a fun, kind of obscure but not impossible to track down, collectible.
