Maybe Ghost won't have a swapping gimmick. It could be like the WAP figures where he just lights up and glows in the dark.

Jeez, what are those Japanese kids watching then?

I confess that once they were past the shiny street-dancing episodes, the narrative was considerably less kid-friendly.

I'd gotten the sense that Toei normally treats Sentai and Rider as vehicles for selling products rather than as products in themselves. I'm curious as to whether Gaim Gaiden represents an experiment in selling a Rider series, or if it's just intended to extend the DX and Arms Change lines, since I gather they're doing well.

(Urobuchi tangent: I just watched the finale of Madoka with friends last night. Gosh!)

Either way, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the final suit for Ghost. The bodysuit details look pretty nifty. I wonder if there's a full helmet under the hoodie (likely,) or if we're getting a mask.

I always felt like that they did a bad job on marketing Gaim. I remember the early ads for the show made it look like a silly campy show fill with dancing and bright colors. That may have turn people off since no one knew how serious the show was going to be later on.
