I love how Walter looks and I was curious if this has aged well, and if it's any good as far as the action, story, and pacing?

90's Metal Hero is pretty weird and the 'Rescue Mission' trilogy (Winspector, Solbrain, and Exceedraft) are no exception. They're pretty cool but also prone to corniness and repetition. Very Showa in execution so, if you like stuff like Juspion or Black RX, there's a good chance you'll dig it. If you're more into Heisei style serialization, it might not be your thing. Still, watch the first few episodes and see what you think!

From what I have heard Winspector is the best out of the three.
It did good numbers on ratings and on toy sales at the time if my memory serves me correct. I watched it and really enjoyed it a while back.

My favorite of the three is Exceedraft because it's very story heavy compared to the others in the trilogy...but it was also not originally intended as a Rescue Police show.
I don't find the 90s Metal Hero shows to be any weirder than the 90s Sentai, it's more or less on the same level. (early 80s Metal Hero stuff could get weird) But yeah, Winspector is a really good show in its own right. I'm not sure it's one you would want to marathon because it literally has no main bad guy - and not in the Dekaranger sense where there was a guy funding evil aliens, Winspector has no one in charge of bad guys. On top of that, there really aren't too many bad guys in the traditional sense Winspector and I if I'm remembering right, there are only two or three traditional monsters in the show. Winspector really is about the heroes going into dangerous situations and rescuing people or stopping human criminals from hurting other people. The characters, especially Walter and Bycle, can be a lot of fun and are pretty endearing when you get an episode that puts them through hell. Early Winspector is a little bizarre, but it's also got one of my favorite episodes, episode 5, which has the heroes trying to stop an evil falcon from killing people and blowing stuff up.

In my eyes, that demented bird puppet is the real star of all late-80s/early-90s Toei tokusatsu.

Ogawa who plays Lyuma/Fire could have been a great red in sentai.
