Hey everyone! Without giving away too much detail or information, we have a very important poll we'd like everyone to take part in! We want to know, in the Neo Heisei Era, what's your favorite gimmick for Kamen Rider? We're including Decade (even if he's not Phase 2) through Zi-O (as that's when the "gimmicks" really started), and you have to pick your *MOST* favorite! A separate poll will allow multiple choice.
Again - please share this poll around. Can't go in to details, but we need some data from you all and rather quickly Thanks!

I have a soft spot for the Lock Seeds. Not only because Gaim is a great show, but because they managed to incorporate the whole toy thing in a way that worked really well for that setting.

I picked lock seeds. I like it when the collectible gimmicks have some play value/moving parts without using the driver. Toy-wise, lock seeds also have the added bonus of the unique sound clips being in the lock seeds themselves instead of the driver, allowing for new ones to be made later on.

I'm torn between OOO Medals and Wizard Rings. Both are neat little pieces of technology that don't have gaudy or overly bulky belts. Medals are more fun to collect but Rings have the added gimmick of lighting up without needing batteries. The OOO Driver has fun motions while activating while the Wizard Driver has a simple elegance to it, just a lot of posing and not a lot extra hanging off of the belt.

I love the Gashats. The Video Game inspired logos, the wide ranging aesthetics of the designs on the front, even the fun catchy sounds they make.

Oooh, tough question for me. I like the Memories, Lockseeds, and Gashats pretty evenly, but I think it’d probably be the Gashats the most for me. There’s just something fun about the lighting panel and the little handle on the side. Gaim was my favorite show until Ex-Aid dethroned it, and I like the simplicity of the Gaia Memories and how they work. From an out of universe perspective, I like how self-contained the gimmick is, it subtly reinforces that they’re the “real” power in the transformation system. I’ve never been as big of a fan of the scanner type drivers like Wizard and Drive, partially because it limits potential expansion in the future.

Aren’t these the collectibles? IMO, I’d say that the ‘gimmick’ was the actual arms change, tire koukan, etc?

I do prefer referring to them as collectibles, but I guess they're interchangeable with 'gimmick' anyway. Also they're called Eyecons and Fullbottles!
From a merchandise and actual product standpoint, my favourite is definitely the Gashats. All their functions are right there and they have a very unique shape. Even the bigger ones feel good in the hand and are fun to press buttons on. If I had to think about what I most liked seeing used in the show, well... I think Decade's swiping and inserting of his cards is the most stylish. But also OOO's Medals are not only simple and cool, but they also had a particularly strong presence as part of the story of that show too. Last edited by FreshToku; 04-20-2019 at 04:13 PM.. |

It was a tough call between Lockseeds and Gashats for me. Ultimately I think with Lockseeds just because they're easier to display and have a bit more functionality and play value.
