In my opinion, I bet it works like one of those fancy Light Saber toys. The ones that only light up. Lol!

And they actually recognized it was adapted by calling it Masked Rider.

Why they’re doing it is actually kinda interesting though. Basically U up until Decade, or maybe W I can’t remember which, Toei used Masked Rider as their official Romanization because that’s the most literal translation, W onwards used Kamen Rider because they started treating that more like a proper noun which didn’t need to be translated. To keep things consistent, i guess, Toei and Bandai use both phrases to describe different “phases” of the franchise. |

I really hope that they can get Tetsuo Kurata for an advertisement video.
Depending on what is included and how expensive it is I might bite, but I would’ve loved it if they made a complete package and included the belt as well. It’s not what Tamashii Lab is for, I understand that, but getting the belt too would’ve been awesome. EDIT: I realize the belt is the stand, but I mean a wearable one.
