For those not familiar, this particular Agito is from the tapestry shown during the opening clip. That said, I wonder if the other Agito will be released as well in the future.

When I saw this revealed this morning I thought it was a Kuuga inspired or themed Agito recolor and for a sec thought they were going to start a line of Rider themed recolors lol

This red version looks so much like Kuuga and in general how similar in design they always looked to me as well as the manga connection

You're not alone on that, honestly, because I had to think for a good minute too until I googled the full webpage and then it all came back to me. At first, I thought it had to do with the Chinese zodiac, this year being the year of the fire horse and all.

Kuugagito

Also, hot dang, where is Putotyra?

I think we all appreciate a good recolour, a fun obscure figure. I don't begrudge them trying to get a little more revenue out of an existing mold at all - that's basically a given of the genre! But they couldn't have just done a Storm Form or Flame Form first? Before... whatever this is?

For a web exclusive announced around New Year's though, I think it's befitting because of its obscurity. Not to downplay the two forms you mentioned, but personally, Storm and Flame feel like one of those products that would get me more excited, especially this year being Agito's 25th anniversary, if announced close to the date of its first appearance, etc.

I don't blame you for lacking context because nobody brought it up before, this is a commemorative item only to be sold at four local Japanese exhibitions celebrating Agito's 25th anniversary.

So that's why this is what it is and not Storm or Flame, they deliberately made this into something fancy no one actually needs. Cool to have, but not essential.

And we have more Agito stuff coming; G3 and Gills are in the prototype pipeline.
