Oooooh.

Oooooh!

Apparently Legend Rider Eyecons are going to start being released with Gashapon Eyecon set 6! Starting with Double. Double. And...one more.

Hooray! This means people can pick them up so much easier than in one giant exclusive set.

Of course, speak of the devil, they decided to finally put them up early this morning while I was asleep. :mad:

ONORE AMIAMI!

Oh hey they did.

What the flipping hell though, 2990 yen??? Utterly ridiculous, AmiAmi. Utterly ridiculous.

Wish I'd managed to snatch one, though.

WELL.

Look like Japanese fans took to looking into the code of the QR Code page on the Ghost website and have been able to deduce who the 15 "hero" Eyecons will be. At least, if I'm interpreting this correctly.

If true, I am a bit disappointed in the choices...only a bit though. The notable thing is that they're very Japanese--Goemon, Ryoma, Himiko, Sanzo...Houdini and Grimm are the only western samples here.

Which...gets me thinking. The show is set in Japan, so it makes sense that there would be a bunch of Japanese Damashii....but there's still a lot of western Eyecons programmed into the Driver, which is weird. And more importantly, there is that thing from the original synopsis that said Ghost would travel around....and quite possibly, the "99...98 days" plot isn't going to last the full show.

So maybe. So maybe they do the "collecting 15 Eyecons" thing for the first part of the show, get a bunch of japanese Eyecons, then start traveling for Some Reason and that's when all the extra, western Eyecons come in?

Maybe? I'd like that, I think...

Or maybe that's all that available on the site right now.

Definitely an option. Unless Takeru steals Makoto's Eyecons, he would still need 3 more. But considering how much they've been pushing the "15 Eyecons" thing...

We all know there are more than 15 Eyecons with sounds in the Ghost Driver, but only 15 Hero Eyecons that Takeru needs. We know some of them will be DVD or movie exclusives, such as the Ikkyu Eyecon which will be featured in November DVD. Here's the list of the 15 Hero Eyecons that Takeru needs:
01: Musashi
02: Edison
03: Robin
04: Newton
05: Billy the Kid
06: Beethoven
07: Benkei
08: Goemon
09: Ryoma
10: Himiko
11: Tutankhamen
12: Nobunaga
13: Houdini
14: Grimm
15: Sanzo

So anyone think the Ghost Logo takes inspiration from these?

Interesting. (second quarter rumors)

Necrom makes me a little sad though, both because the m makes it sound weird, and because an idea for a Rider I had been doodling up was called Necro. (rip, necro).

Guess Boost was an upgrade after all. No big surprise there.
