I'm pretty sure they were able to keep it a secret because it wasn't on any of the toy catalog stuff.

The only reason we had a Trinity incident was because Trinity was advertised on the Toy Catalog's.

Not to mention this year with magazine scans we've been getting less info about the second half of the month when it comes to Zi-O. And in this case we've gone into August blind.

Chaser showing up, Tsukasa getting his powers back and transforming into Zi-O, Tsukuyomi. None of it was shown off until we found out about it via official means.

Give me a Figuarts of Rider Tsukuyomi (not through P-Bandai) so I can put her next to my Figuarts Super Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon.

On second thought, how big is a Figure Rise Standard Rider kit compared to Figuarts?

Forms like this are usually P-Bandai, even stuff like Cross-Z's base form was a P-Bandai exclusive as it only appeared in 3 episodes at that point

Getting some huge Femme vibes from her. I really love it.

Who is the suit actor for Tsuku'? A man or a woman?

It's a female stunt actress, Natsumi Sano. It doesn't look like she has any notable tokusatsu credits from what I can see, but apparently she's actually been a stunt double for Tsukuyomi since episode 1, so that's kinda cool.

She has a stunt double yet still barely did anything all season...?

Anyway, it's a cool Rider design and I totally expect to see it in the inevitable V-Cinema specials too.

Tsukuyomi is a moon god, not a goddess. He's explicitly the brother of Amaterasu (the sun goddess).

Why do I have this feeling that Zi-O is going to pull a Decade and have the proper ending in the crossover movie.

I'm thinking that too, to be honest.
