I feel toys in Rider fiction peaked in Decade through Fourze and never truly recovered since. Simple yet creative gimmicks that naturally weaved into the story and there was never so many as to be overwhelming. It's downright
refreshing
going back to this era, where the toylines do bring a fun toyetic flavour but don't outstay their welcome as they start doing in Gaim onwards.
I also really really wouldn't mind what New Gen Ultraman's been doing -- it's got a lot of items thrown about recently, sure, but a lot of them have ended up being used for
attacks
rather than forms. There's some other great things there too, like Taiga having alternate Ultras as the 'form changes' and Z outright replacing the mid-season super form with King Joe.
One more thing here that's key to both things I'm talking about -- unless it's super simple and inventive like W?
Screw
electronic gimmick items. It's fine for the super forms but, man, every single item costing between £7-£10 gets a bit ridiculous very very quickly and I cannot overstate how refreshing it was to see Ultraman Z offer like, 9 new gen hero medals for the price of less than two progrise keys. This also keeps things much simpler in the show.
