Well, well.

So now that all the catalog has come out, I gotta say all of Zi-O looks really neat

Also more amours

I still wonder how these are "reversible."

"Reversible" is less likely than it's just got unique parts for both Zi-O and Gates. From the illustrations we've seen so far, it looks like the basic Armor Time can nearly stand up as its own figure. We've also only seen these (the figures, not the suits) from head-on. I'm wondering if the side B is essentially a different front-half. Maybe it splits in half, then clips onto the front of Zi-O or Gates. I'm convinced it'll split apart in one way or another. However, if that's the case, then I'm not sure how they're doing Build, since the shoulderpads appear to be in the same orientation on both Riders.

Probably much like the Gamers and Level 1 forms in the Ex-Aid retail lines, these will only look good from the front. (I would love to be wrong about that.)

I must be a little slow on the uptake, since it just occurred to me that it's likely they went with Type Tridoron rather than Type Speed for Drive so they wouldn't have to replicate the tire-sash.

Earlier, I was having a little trouble telling which Armor Time was for which Rider. I just noticed that the visor colors stay consistent: yellow for Gates, pink for Zi-O. That makes the Decade upgrade pretty interesting: that design retains the green eyes, whereas even the Gaim Armor Time moves the visor to the chest. (Also, I do not love the Gaim armor. The visor on the chest feels lazy.)

I actually really like the Gaim armour -- in general it feels cleaner than the rest, but beyond that the helmet being on the chest reminds me of certain Legend Rider Arms, especially 1 Arms. It's very fitting.

Huh so we're gonna get some Mighty Co-Op plays in Zi-O? Unless Genm is a Ganbarizing form

Heh! That is reminds me of Gaim's legend Rider Arms is actually what I hate about it. MORE FRUIT, LESS GIANT FACE. (Glad you like it, though.)

This is just a guess from a girl who barely knows better, but I think the Gaim form as Gaim's face on his chest as a homage to the legend armor from Gaim. ... And I am okay with this.

isn't gaim arms actually a thing? granted, kamen rider fifteen is the only known armored rider to have utilized it but theoretically, gaim should be able to do the same. which means zio is essentially donning an armor of a rider who also happens to wear an armor based on his own likeness

all these design reveals have been so insane it's started to mess with my thought process :p
