There's a old car it was a inspiration for Ridron.

Am I the only one who misses the early 2000's kamen rider? The newer shows just feel too....bright and shiny....I guess. I don't know how to put my finger on it, but the older shows like agito,blade,ryuki and kuuga are just more interesting to watch. I guess its the darker visuals and quieter belts. Garo feels similar but not quite the same.

The old Kamen Rider shows are made to sell merchandise too, but I feel like they are not super gimmicky about it. Kuuga's forms was handle pretty well in my opinion similar how Ultraman did with Tiga in the mid 90's. Ryuki had a card gimmick, but it didn't feel super force in about it if you ask me.
I have nothing against the newer Kamen Rider shows at all, but sometimes I do cringe at some of the toy gimmicks in the shows (Like the Foodroids or Yurusen in my opinion).

I know one of the things that annoyed me with Ginga was him actually staring right at the camera and holding out the toy like, "buy this!"
and all the close ups of the toys.. If the show is cool and the characters are cool I will want to buy the action figure. I don't need the 4th wall being broken so that they're pushed in my face. I guess I'm getting used to it though. Either that or I'm getting better about just tuning it out. I never feel like the Showa Rider era is pushing toys in my face. Though I do think Hongo is really cool. And for that reason I have multiple Kamen Rider v1 stuff, and plan on getting more. Last edited by KaijuUltraFan; 12-28-2017 at 09:26 PM.. |

It has its moments. There's one episode of V3 that devotes a lot of time to a plastic tube that makes noise.

yikes.
I guess it's just par for the course. These shows want you to buy toys. |

Just remembered, in the case of Kamen Rider Black the belt motivates you to watch the show since it reacts to rider punch and kick scenes.

when I see it happening I just yell, "RIDE-UHHHHHH KEEEEEKKK!" in my best Hongo impersonation.
...I'm kind of a dork though. |
