The more I see of Saber, the more I'm liking its aesthetic.

It's certainly growing on me! Kamen Rider Belial- uh, Buster, I always liked but I think the others are neat. I still can't get over Blades' chest, though...

It looks like Saber's bike is called "Diago Speedy", which is an amazing name.

As a super robot fan, I was excited to see a chest lion, but in practice, it looks a little odd indeed.

I think the eyes having pupils is a step too far for the animals on the armor.

I will say however, if Blades ever gets an upgraded golden form, that form is gonna POP.

That's the thing -- chest lions are awesome on super robots! On, like, actual people who don't have chonky blocky aesthetics... hm. Not so much.

I really love how Buster's sword is mostly hollow. I assume it was done to keep the props and toys from being too heavy, but it also looks cool and fits with Buster's more mechanical aesthetic.

The last time we gotten elaborate generals monsters like riders was drive? At least more than one. Recent years we shift to rider like or just rider generals for the villains using the same gimmicks and fodder motw that gets reused a lot with minimum recoloring in suit paint.

The suits are growing and surprisingly the late reveal for kamen rider dad buster looks the best. The dragon and lion look way too plastic/fake . I guess that's what they're going for. I prefer more detail in bad cgi ryuki and wizarddragon more.
I feel like recent rider and sentai toys are more shonen anime like with kyoryuger plastic dinos and song while less trying to be realistic with non diecast like props even inside the show. Even 01 neon yellow weapons look off. I can see why some people got turn off by the dinky sword driver this year along with the book gimmick. The execution in design just isn't there.

Lion senki the water rider reminds me of the secondary rider for exaid and 01. He doesn't look like the type that will stay massively relevant and go buddy toe to toe with the main rider like geiz or crossz banjo from zio and build respectively. If caliber isn't a ouja, then he's def will be a pallad/jin or horobi.

I really hope Saber & Blades will get along and become good friends.
