Kamen Rider Chronicles---that seriously makes me think they're gonna use all those Legendary Gashats in the actual show.
Damn, Gemn Level 10 is my favorite rider suit so far. Looks really stylish, great colors, menacing, the whole package.
We're also getting so many different forms. Just 12 episodes in, and we have Level 1/2/3 for the 4 riders, Level 3 Gemn, the Level 5's, and now Level 10 Gemn. Depending on how you count the Level 5's, we've got 19 different rider forms already, and even more to come.
Even when last week's previews I was wondering if the show would actually follow through with the implied event in a Christmas episode, and it did. Hurray for not letting special episodes disrupt the story. The Santa tie-in also felt a lot more natural than in other Rider series. I can't believe we're only a quarter of the way into the show. If the story pacing is as good as Gaim, I'll be so happy.

Interesting, the Bugle Driver plays a shorter Lv2/3 music
Heh, BIKE BIKE BIKE GENOCIDE
isn't there a Genm webseries? They might feature them there.
from what I heard the suit designer is a manga artist, it explains why they look so different and why they looked so groovy in the concept art. Man look at Ookami Blue for instance - he's so fluffy even in suit mode!

Yes, Masato Hisa is a manga artist. I knew his work through Nobunagun--average show but had some really cool and--dare I say it--edgy designs. Hiring a person with this style to design a Super Sentai is incredible.

If it weren't for toy catalogues and Kiriya's actor getting his flowers, I'd have guessed that Kiriya is in some Bugster dimension and would be coming back.

I need this for my wallpaper.
This would be 100% true if this were Kamen Rider Ghost.
K i REALLY like Genm's level ten a ton. Looks really deadly and the way he was jerking all around when he transformed was awesome.
Btw does this episode mean Level 5 is pretty much nerfed from it's full power of four player mode. Then going by next episode Emu wont even have much of a reason for using it anymore.

I'm hedging on picking up SIC Kamen Rider Drive. Definitely buying SIC Baron Banana Arms though. Ryugen and HawkTiger are exclusive and too rich for my blood.
Drive doesn't look too good to me tbh, but Mashin Chaser looks awesome (well he was a Takeya design anyway). Wanted Melon but it's way too expensive.
This reminds me, what the hell is SIC Ex-Aid going to look like?
It's going to look... sick.

I wonder if they will try to incorporate Level 1 in some way.

I'd guess there'll be no SIC version, like Fourze.

Given SIC styling, probably pretty strong. I'm pretty happy with how the SIC Gaim turned out, playing up the armor styles of each Rider.
Regardless, that's still two years from now. Still have to get through Ghost too.
My guess is it'll be like SIC Kabuto, a shell that you place over the core Rider body.
Is Ex-Aid's popularity and sales rather low?
NeonZ

Fourze had the 2nd highest merchandising sales for Kamen Rider, only a little behind OOO, the number 1. SIC's staff just didn't think the general style of Fourze's Rider designs would fit well with SIC versions.
MHWilliams

Their stated reason was both the design issue and popularity of Fourze, if I remember correctly.
EDIT: Found it here:
No Zector Mizer?

Huh, weird. I guess it might be popularity among hardcore fans?
Here are the merchandising numbers for various seasons up to midway through Drive. I have newer ones too with Ghost from the Bandai financial reports, but they don't have those convenient series breakdowns.

Hardcore adult fans would make sense. Given those numbers, I'd think they'd skip Drive given sales.
In that case, I'd expect them to skip Ghost too, but the designs lend themselves to SIC. Ex-Aid is a wait and see show. The designs should turn off adult fans, but the story is shaping up rather nicely.
I think it's time you had Akibarangers in your life.

Oh wow, that'd be dope. I never knew he came with a shell.
Honestly, Ex Aid is the hardest figure for me to picture. Brave, Snipe, and, especially, DZ Gemn I can easily see in my mind.
about time for a rewatch imo. wonder if I still have it dled somewhere.

Yep. Usually you can tell by the movies that come after the show.
I kinda think SIC is very slow, niche releases that tests the market with one or two products first, then going all in when there's a clear interest. OOO has every Combos released yet they kinda glossed over Wizard. We'll see if Gaim and Drive had interest.
They're much pricier than they used to be, too. I remember Dark Kiva and Ixa were 4700 yen--that's two bodies in one price. Gaim is 8800 yen alone.

Yeah Fourze is a hit with kids but not with adults (the SIC market) I think

Gaim they seem to be moving full Steam ahead with. Zangetsu is exclusive and out. Ryugen is the next exclusive release, and Baron is the next release after that.
Drive is out now, Machine Chaser is May. Zangetsu Energy Arms was teased after Machine Chaser.
Gaim is mad expensive, but some earlier releases were cheaper. W Cyclone, Rider 2, and Wizard Flame were my last gets for 5400-6400 yen. No clue why Gaim and Drive are so damned expensive.
Yeah, I think Gaim should be a better hit with adults than Drive. We saw prototypes at Tamashii Nations too, which they used to garner interest.
SICs are out of my budget now, I'm just here sitting waiting for SH Figuarts Kiva in 2029.
I'm glad they are throwing the pretense out of the window and making Hero Taisen a straight up tournament/gauntlet with a simple premise instead of trying to create a glamorous and epic mystery to discover why oh why those heroes are trying to murder each other like they didn't have completely different personalities in their own shows.
