I could be wrong about this, but that'd make him the youngest lead rider period, right? I can't think of anybody who was younger.

I think the youngest was Philip who was 16 when they filmed Double.

I technically think of Shotaro as the lead of W, but you're right.

Well they are both the lead character/rider so it counts :)

I know, I know. But if I had to choose. :p

Huh. Didn't know Philip was that young when W came out.

Yeah Masaki Suda was born in 93. It was the first time when I watched rider week to week and have a main actor be younger than me :lol

I think the only Rider show where the actor wasn't younger than I was when I watched it is Hibiki.

I actually think Ghost might be the first time a lead Rider has been younger than me. I'm a pretty young guy lol

I'd say this is decent news, at least toy wise.

I don't think it's good news that these lockseed-sized things do nothing except for the switching image gimmick... seriously, no lights or sounds on their own?

That's the best part as far as I'm concerned. Keeps the cost down which is awesome for me.

Waaant.

Also yeah, lights and sounds would be cool and everything, but I'm not into the idea of spending much more than the 600 these are going to cost. I'd rather the cost be mostly in the belt than going broke buying eyeballs.

But seriously, I need that thing.

edit: speaking of cost mainly being in the belt, placed a preorder on hlj for the ghost driver/gangan saber set they put up. that thing costs quite a pretty penny. ouch.

now to somehow get the shift next special set...

Ghost crashing Drive's movie premiere-

Thats great :lol

I kinda dig the henshin sound.

That actually rather reminds me of the WizarDriver's sounds...

Not bad, though.

LET'S GO! G-G-GO-GO-GO-GO-GHOSTO! GO! GO! GO! GO!

...Ehem. Or something like that.

Did anyone notice that swagger Ghost had when we walked into the room? I hope that cocky attitude seeps into the fighting in show.

It was great. Best part though was Shinnosukes face when the henshin tune started playing.

That part was hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing.

He moves a lot smoother and easier than I imagined.

It didn't look like swagger at all, looked more like he was walking like a ghoul. ('cuz he's a ghost) Y'know, head hung low, arms dangling.

Ghost really looks like Gaim 2.0 in terms of function and design. Hopefully that means the show will be of similar quality.

That was all kinds of weird :lol

Well that was... something.

And now I start to understand the people who don't like the Driver-sounds nowadays, this thing talks way too much.

Merchandise site is open/updated-

Personally, I've always loved Drivers that babbled a lot. The Combo-songs where the thing that made me interested in OOO and thus Kamen Rider in the first place.

There are examples though when a Driver needed to shut up. Wizard being the glaring example. Shabadoobie ruined many dramatic moments in that show.

They often skipped the Shabadoobie in dramatic moments....

That little ghost that is helping Takeru. Do I see a "Crow" vibe that when something happens to that little ghost, Ghost becomes vulnerable?

I still can't forgive the first time he became Fire Dragon though. Haruto was in the hospital, angry as hell, dramatic music.. and then it's shattered by the Driver.

what...did..I just..watch? That was...um...Japan...why?

Newton's call is so terrible. I love it.

dammit I was hoping that the belt would have a more spooky ghostlike voice

Decade's chatty Driver completely worked for me. Jury's out on Ghost's.

I'm wondering if Ore Soul the name is due in part to the implied English pun: the "I" Soul. From the previews I've seen so far, I'm wondering if putting the hood down will be Ghost's signature post-henshin move/pose. If so, that'll make the inevitable Figuarts version easier to engineer. Almost all the preview images I've seen since the movie stills show the hood being down. I'm almost disappointed, since I think I like the hoodie silhouette.

Also, I'm with YuuHikari on being disappointed that the Driver's voice isn't spookier. I suspect this series will (initially, at least) go full-on goofy to counterbalance the implied darkness of the postmortem-Rider premise. I hope I'm wrong!

I'm sure the Ore Soul Figuart will give you the option for either having the hood up or down, I just hope it's well done. I don't need another Wizard coattails situation.

I read Ore Soul but want to say Ore Sanju.

I hope the figuarts has a cloth cape instead of two different heads.

I'm just happy that they Use Go-Go-Go-Go-Ghost for Ore Soul.

And it looks like this is our first clear shot of Spectre.
