Judging by Horobi's picture that's the case, I guess it's basically a rectangular lockseed. Judging by the price the Progrise cards have electronics in for the sounds as they're like 15 bucks a piece

I mean, Valkyrie has more than the name. There's the eyes and coquette pose. Her default stuff is also either shared with Vulcan's gun or with Zero One's toy holder, implying that Toei/Bandai feel that this one Rider may need to get an extra push for sales. There's also the initial leaks saying the show would start with 3 Riders, correctly named the first 3 and their forms and mentioned that one would be a woman. That being said I'll buy 20 Lightning Hornet Figuarts
At the risk of sounding sexist. To me this fits perfectly with the idea of Valkyrie being a female rider because it seems like Toei is experimenting with her. They're willing to put a her in the spotlight, but not that willing to spend the budget on giving her more toys than necessary, and are now waiting to see how her first quarter sales fare before they give her more.

It was based primarily on a seemingly otherwise-accurate leak that got misconstrued. It said that Zi-O being a female Rider was something Toei had considered during the design process, and several people (myself included) mistook that for indicating that Zi-O would be a female Rider.

Again, I'm cool with the idea that Valkyrie is a female Rider because I'm always down for more of them, but I don't think it's a good idea to just assume that's the case when we really don't have a lot of clear pictures nor official information about it. So until the official conference for the reveal, I'm not gonna hold my breath and hope for them being a her. |

Fair enough, but it's still something to not to immediately assume for the most part, since we still don't have clear images and whatnot.
So instead of chestplates, we're going on eye shapes now? Again, not entirely a solid enough argument for me to solidly assume that Valkyrie is a female Rider. And remember, everyone said that the pose that Zi-O had in the beginning looked feminine, so that's kinda not enough for me to assume, either. Most tertiary Riders don't really get upgrades all that often, so it's really not out of the ordinary that Valkyrie doesn't have many.

For Zi-O it was an awkward angle, here, the pose and picture is deliberately different from the other 4 who have the same. As for the eyes, anime often gives girls 'sharp' eyes and they have a similar shape to the last toku girl with a cheetah motive, especially the leaked symbols as they added a line for the face there

I'm kind of surprised 'phone that turns into bike' is an idea that's come up more than once but this is Rider. Time for more really weird scenes where he uses it like it's a normal phone (Build even had a bit where he took pictures with his)

Zero-One looks cool. I hope this show will be something new, fresh and different than the Hesiei Kamn Riders similar how Kuuga was to the Showa Riders.
