Wizard almost looks like something you'd see in Magiranger. Love how he has his face on the shoulders from his rings.
Loving the designs so far. Glad to see the shoulders are a bit more toned done and manageable. Earlier pics had me worried those were going to be too big and obtrusive.
And on OOOs, love they did the super form of Gatakiriba, Latoraatah, and Tajador. The complete forms as the tri-form is the true super form of Tatoba. Though I really wanted to see a Sagozou form, maybe later. Toei has to keep some surprises up their sleeve for later. So I'm expecting Sagozou, Shauta, Putotyra, and Ixa Rising to be a later form for something else likely. Same to Faiz Accel maybe. (Ooooh! Time travel would be a great excuse to do super forms of random riders from the past like the missing forms in Blade with Leangle and Garren, or Accel Delta and Accel Kaixa. Or even new Hyper Zector forms of the others. Maybe this is how Ichigo got upgraded for his Ghost movie too. His adopted daughter is also a storyline they've yet to fully explore too that should get used someday.)

While that's not entirely true about "Toei doesn't care about westerners". Popular work in America impacts popular work in Japan, same as work in Japan impacts work in America. Creative worlds are like that where they all elevate the worldwide zeitgeist and feed off of each other. Though obscure comic things would be rare. They do have to use moderately material their intended audience would understand. So international material used has to hit a certain threshold of widely known.
The post was talking about "paradoxes that cause timeline changes" not directly DC's Flashpoint. More it as an example like the terminator remark after.
Which could very well be likely. Toei's dabbled with that before a couple times with some specials and a movie(and Kiva did this in series too, twice). Rather recently too. It's not uncommon for Toei to revisit old concepts either. As the basis of one recent movie was from an older Playstation game.
Toei has raided older American cartoons for inspiration previously. Fourze for example, has design elements from an obscure 90s one shot cartoon special and old video game too. So really, even the obscure isn't all that off limits to them so long as they can make it fit their market and demographics. Rider series aren't as "Isolationist" as you may think. Neither is sentai for that matter.
