I'm with Den-O. I LOVED Shin and expected the worst when watching it, but I ended up enjoying it.

Then again, I haven't really strongly disliked anything Rider. Yes, that even includes Decade.

I haven't seen The Next but I thought The First was well done and trying to reboot the original. Too bad they never really did anything with it.

The look so good!

Second that.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Absolutely gorgeous!


*sigh* The wait for mine is killing me!

That's amazing.

Very cool pictures, makes the wait for my Gaim and Baron that much harder! That staircase is a great prop for them.

love the staircase...just can't wait to get them!

This is my stage now!

Cool pics. Toei and the fandom at large really need to move away from the Showa/Heisei Era nomenclature as no one is using it right.

That's kind of just an opinion. Toei officially recognizes certain riders as Showa and certain ones as Hesei. Whether you agree with it or not it's the cannon as presented by the parent company. So why argue against it?

Only because it is an actual thing and I realize that Toei co-opted the term but that doesn't make their usage correct.

"The Shōwa period (昭和時代 Shōwa jidai), or Shōwa era, is the period of Japanese history corresponding to the reign of the Shōwa Emperor, Hirohito, from December 25, 1926, through January 7, 1989"

I don't know why it bothers me and I promise this is the last time I will bring it up.

Why? It is no different than the differet Godzilla eras, Showa, Heisei, and Millennium.

"The Shōwa period (昭和時代 Shōwa jidai), or Shōwa era, is the period of Japanese history corresponding to the reign of the Shōwa Emperor, Hirohito, from December 25, 1926, through January 7, 1989"

It's like someone calling 1970's New York the Italian Renaissance.

And sorry I took us off topic.

That's a bit of an extreme example. I think something along the lines of calling Animaniacs an 80's cartoon when it's a 90's cartoon would be a less extreme example. Regardless, you're absolutely right and I think Rider needs a new way of grouping Riders than Showa and Heisei (mainly because Heisei will probably be around for at least 30 more years).

Yes, I know what it means, but I still don't see what the problem is. Japan is always identified by its rulers at that time. So has been Egypt, China, etc. We do have our eras too. We have the Revolutionary War period, the Wild West/Western Expansion, Civil War, Great Depression, the Nixon administration, the Reagen administration, etc.

Another average day on my shelf with my custom Arms Change Figures.

I have one major problem with Gaim. THIS:

http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/...ps04c76091.jpg

I don't think that is supposed to be molded like that because my sword will NOT stay in for more than a minute after spending 5 fiddling around with it. Not very happy about that. I was hoping that with the amount of time they took to bring the Gaim stuff out there would not be any quality control issues. I'm going to have to see what AmiAmi can do about it.

Breathtaking!

I bought Gaim to scratch the itch, as I own all the ACs and I see no point in buying all the SHFs as well... but look how beautiful he is!

If I were in that situation, I'd just display all the ACs in arms not represented by SHFs.

Does Gaim's weapons combine or is that a separate piece?

They combine.
