No, I don't know if there's an official term for it, but they are "Rider-like", people who transform into being similar to Riders.

It’s confusing even for Toei, for example Shadow Moon is sometimes credited as a Rider, sometimes as a monster.

I believe they're labeled as "Kamen Senshi".

wait.....thomas edison isnt real? did i just have a 26 year long mendela effect??? did jimmy neutron lie to me? lol

Second part to the toy listings found:

Legend Rider gimmicks as well as the power up items for Rider 1 (Saber) and secondary rider.

See this is almost casting more doubt on these rumours, in my opinion. Except for obviously Zi-O, Bandai have really chilled out on Legend Rider stuff in recent years (I think since Gaim, where they didn't sell as much as hoped), and even then they tend to come closer to Q2/3, when the regular releases slow down. I could be totally wrong, but I really can't imagine all of this being due out in the first quarter...

Kamen Rider Saber being about legends and tales is a better fit than Zero-One for legend rider stuff.

But yeah I'm surprised Reiwa is looking back so much.

What's more surprising to me is that there isn't a Zero One item

That'd usually be a movie thing for the crossovers iirc

Are these bonus items even listed? They’re given out as freebies if you buy the driver early, right?

It kinda depends? Zero-One had the Zi-O key in its first wave of legend riders rather than being some sort of pre-order bonus or movie thing.

But you're right, discounting the Build Ridewatch (for obvious reasons), most of the recent previous-legend-rider items have been special movie things.
