Actually, Revice, including the show and movies/specials, counting only the Rider identity itself and not multiple users, and discount Revice since that can refer to either the duo or their fused form, they had like 18 Riders.

Saber, on the other hand, has 14 Riders instead (counting KR Desast if we want to consider him a Saber Rider instead of an Outsiders Rider).

Oh, right. *sighs*

*scratches head* Oh well. Whatever sells. :lolol
Thank you for the correction though.

DX Henshin Belt Gavv promo vid is up folks.

So Chocodan is a western gunslinger, Gurucan is Ex-Aid Maximum Gamer and Slash's kid, Fuwamallow is a Stay Puft Guyver, and Zakuzaku is Build and Kenzan's kid. :lolol
And I love how the Gochizo squeals like a mandrake.

I'm pretty sure ZakuZaku is potato chips according to how the form and gochizo looks, it doesn't really make sense though, as all the other forms he has so far are sweets, I'm hoping this is a Jin/Flying Falcon thing where it's used a little bit and then becomes another rider's main form.

Oh nice, a new crank buckle like Build. I'm just glad they didn't put lettering into the visor like Zi-O. And food themes, that's gonna hot sell for the kids. Nothing like gouging on chips and choco.

Wonder if there's gonna be a fish snack one.

Yeah, looks like the forms in the poster were illuminated in the colors of their respective Gochizous. Brown is already partially red, so red light just makes it look red.

Shinobi naredomo wa Party Night! A brown cowboy form also reminds me of Ghost Billy The Kid Damashii.

I can tell this is going to be a polarizing aesthetic.

The undersuit is silver though, like Gotchard's gloves. Personally, the weirdest part about Gavv's suit is the talons on his boots. Why does a snack-themed Rider have talons?

Reminds me of how the Ryusouls had limited lifespans and the Ryusoulgers would have to say goodbye to them before getting new ones. It's the only case I can recall where the gimmick items are revealed to be sentient halfway through the show.

I know right! That Hibiki summer movie literally started with an important character getting eaten, it was just too much for me, even by the usual Inoue standard. Totally don't want a repeat of that in Gavv.

I hope it's like Gotchard with a sensible amount of Riders. No superfluous Over Demons or Aguileras.

Like I said before, Aruto reclaims Flying Falcon for good at the end of the first arc, hence it's no longer Jin's main form as he gets Burning Falcon instead.

I guess you're not a fan of the Shinkenger suits either?

I already know, I was just initially deceived by the large poster due to the similarity of the head to a bee and the already mentioned theme of sweets. I think the chips were taken because of their popularity with the main audience. Regarding themes for other riders, I see rider options on the theme of wagashi - Japanese folk sweets; McDonald's and the like; and also a fan of healthy food.

I think that Reiwa riders are not ready to give up the animal motif and Gavv is a kangaroo or a rabbit. Personally, I'm against the rabbit, because it would immediately put the big-eared one in third place after the grasshopper and the dragon as themes for the main riders, and he doesn't deserve that. On the other hand, if Gavv is a kangaroo, then the belt is his bag, and the gimmicks are the children. Which he eats. And this concept is very creepy if you think about it.
Alternative - Gavv's base form is a ninja wearing an animal mask and claws designed for climbing walls. But for such a concept the visual is somehow boring.

And that's okay! I've said my piece and will be moving on. Of course I'll still read the thread and see if something catches my eye, and I'll probably tune in as usual because judging books by covers and all that.

I just know for sure my wallet will be taking a break this season due to the aesthetic.

Seems like the toy people are trying to reproduce what made Gaim merch sell so well. They've tried iterating different elements of those ideas periodically ever since: audacity, food, an insane number of forms, apparently-swappable armor over a common undersuit, etc. It doesn't look like this will be a multiple-Riders show in the manner of Geats, Saber, Ex-Aid, and Gaim, but maybe they've found over time that the many-Riders model doesn't perform the way they want it to.

This definitely feels more like Gaim's gimmick than anything they've done since, but maybe I'm being thrown off by the potato-chip samurai's resemblance to Gaim. There seems to be a real joy in the details of the designs: the melting-chocolate "poncho," the squeezing-the-bag sword handles, etc.

I'm curious as to what the retail action figure gimmick will be, since that always seems to have a profound effect on any Hesei-and/or-Reiwa Rider's design. That'll then get translated to So-Do, figuarts, etc. Right now, it looks most like Zero-One-esque swappable armor, but it's always possible I'm missing something.

I am very curious as to how the collectibles with adorable cartoon faces on them will go over with their target demographic.

The forms are winning me over.
