O.o
Why is that strange? They expect you to use the gun from Ryugen with this figure so of course he has hands to hold it. |

Why is the Ridoron a mass release but the Tridoron is an exclusive? Seems weird to me.

So I think it's because the Ridoron is easier to produce, and a better way to test the waters on how these things will sell without risking too much. Quote:
And they could've given him his own grape gun, but after Kiwami came with pretty much nothing except the DJ-sword and hands to hold stuff I wasn’t expecting Ryugen Yomi to even come with a Kiwi Gekirin. This is interesting though. The Kiwi weapon wasn’t mentioned on his page, there was no photo with him holding it. That leads me to believe that Ryugen Kiwi Arms (or the rumored Ichigo + Kiwi two-pack) isn’t planned to be released anytime soon, so they just gave one Kiwi Gekirin to Ryugen Yomi since it is sculpted anyways. You know, so you won't miss out on the weapon at least if the Ryugen Kiwi arms ends up not coming around for a while. |

The US is not the main target audience for Kamen Rider since we are a niche fanbase in the states. As Kiwami said, the electronics and the other features is why Tridoron is a web exclusive. Also Showa nostalgia also helps Ridoron sell well at retail too.

Yeah, but don't forget that we also had our own adaptation of Black RX here (as bad as it may have been) that came complete with his own version of Ridoron. Also, IIRC, Black RX is insanely popular in other countries outside of Japan. Drive doesn't have near that reputation.

Man Rideron would probably sell like crazy in Phillippines, just like change the text to KUYA ROBERT'S RIDE

Wonder if my Kuyas and Titos would want it . I know a lot of my family were fans of Showa series.
