A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Also however they were doing the sound this week during Kaito and Peach girl's scene was real dumb.
The question is who will not
Zack.
Mr. Knuckleman will be the hero of the new world.
Saban's current thoughts on Tokkyuger: trains are not major part of kids lives in USA like Japan. Trains also not major public trans in US.
Does not mean Tokkyuger will be skipped. Depends what Toei does next. But Saban isn't in love with Tokkyuger. This is per Bandai.
Saban feels ToQ suits incredibly pre-schoolish. Zords too stiff. But we'll see. Depends on ToQ's final sales in Japan & Toei's next theme.
@Morphin_K: @Odot92 So basically toy sales are the deciding factor on if Saban can skip a Sentai or not? Basically. Saban all about the $$
Some possible hints by Saban Brands on if they're adapting ToQger or not:

So basically because Power Rangers is going to be way behind Sentai unlike past years (assuming they're not doing a Megaforce/Super Megaforce deal anytime soon), Bandai and Saban are going to be more picky about what Sentai shows they're going to adapt.

Ah, let me be clear here, I don't think most of those designs conflict with older ones. But they've changed enough that they barely look like from the same franchise IMO. This doesn't mean every suit before followed a pretty identical design or pattern though; Black and ZO are pretty different from Super-1 that already was pretty different from Stronger who had very unique chest... They still had enough similarities.
W, OOO and Wizard (at least Flame Wizard) suits have some outstanding design choices in being strongly based on the Showa designs and still having completely different motifs and general shape. Uh, not Brakawani or Putotyra, though.
I also want to say I'm sorry if what I'm saying sounds too rough, my English is pretty bad and it's hard to elaborate on this for me.
Eh, I would argue that neither Gaim's crest, Hibiki's horns, Den-O and Kiva's eyes, besides other examples, don't stand for bug antennae too. But they evoke a shape close enough.
Kiva, Den-O (and New Den-O), Accel (though you can make a case with the monoeye highlight) and Wizard's eyes aren't round bug eyes too, though they are the exception, not the rule. Separated round eyes certainly are a mark of Rider design (also a reason as for why Hibiki doesn't look that Rider-esque).
As a matter of fact, I did some drawings for college some time ago, creating helmets from animal faces. One of them was inspired by a dragonfly, and I had the hardest time converting the bug eyes into a "realistic" helmet visor... until I said fuck that and made them huge, separated eyes... and it worked really well! But it also looked like a straight Rider rip-off haha.
“@Morphin_K: @Odot92 So basically toy sales are the deciding factor on if Saban can skip a Sentai or not?”
im suprised. theres tons of shit to sell, and its not like samurais have major appeal with kids either.
Watching all the Power Morphicon videos from this past weekend make me disappointed I couldn't go. Lots of great cast members came and just hanging out with everyone would have been a blast. Plus, I missed out on Elie Dekel announcing my name for the Power Force... that would've been cool.
I definitely plan to be at the next Power Morphicon in 2016 though... with the reboot movie and everything that year, it's going to be crazy.

I don't know. I'm hoping Saban Brands saved a Power Morphicon key set, but they haven't told me anything yet. Someone in the Power Force before said they mailed some swag to the people that couldn't make it last time, so I hope that's the case this time. But thankfully, if they don't, a fellow Power Force member said he'd help me out.Are you going to get the free swag at that was given to the Power Force members?

There's a scan showing Drive's MOTW...so, yeah, guess we're back to that format.
Seems they're like cars corrupted by "Frankenstein Cores" and turned into monsters. We've got a Spider, Bat, and Snake Monster, so it seems the show might homage classic Rider.

There's one for the guy who did Blade's Undead and Kabuto's Worms, but I don't remember the name of it.Are their any production artbooks of concepts for any Rider Shows? I think I remember hearing some of the current day Dynasty Warriors artists helped with Toei suit monster concepts at different points in their careers. I'd love to see some concept drafts of Orphenochs and stuff from Wizard or Kiva's enemies. A lot of fun stuff in those. Heck even Fourze and Blade had some great stuff so any and all design books would be cool.

The new Rider is pretty tall, apparently he's 165cm, or around six feet. Saw a picture of him with cast members (for another show I think), and he towered over them.
Seems Christopher Peppler is the voice of the Drive Driver/Trideron.
Better known as Gus from Crazy Taxi. 0.o
Also, I'm pretty sure looking over the old toy scans Drive will have actual form changes, so it's gonna be like Fourze where there's add-ons, and then new forms. All the "forms" we've seen are still Type Speed apparently, and there are "Type Power" and "Type Technique" mentioned in the toy catalog.
Hes really famous as a radio voice (to go along with the car theme i guess) he also does a lot of tv stuff including the intros to the long running live music show "Music Station"
You can guarantee there will be a lot of English or "gaijin sounding" japanese henshin sounds.
Scans show the different belt logos. Seems likethey change depending on the tire, looks cool.

Oh! THAT guy.. "Super Live, '95!" ?
Zack.

Just watched Faiz ep 8
...
I dont know about the 95 part lol but yeah, him.
Thank you! I appreciate that.Hopefully you get it since I saw on your twitter that you were thinking about buying the set, congrats on making it in and keep at it with your reviews.
On my YouTube channelWhere do you do your reviews?
IS it true Battleride 2 has a Grape Energy model?
Where did you hear this?
Kamen rider wiki
Could be fake, damn it looks cool
Yeah, apparently it was found in the data.
The theory is somehow the team were misinformed about Mitchy getting the Melon Energy, and presumed it'd go over base Ryugen as opposed to Mitchy simply using Zangetsu's suit.
The CG in Heisei Rider X Showa Rider is straight out of a PS1 game
