This filing thing is just odd enough to tip my radar. I'm still waiting for something to turn up for a "Power Rider" production, but all we've been catching is news of a dead trademark. Even if its not Power Rider, I don't know why a specific South African branch is needed. If its for all of Africa its fine, but its for one country.

Power Rider trademark expired at the end of last year. When we spoke to Bandai of America at Toy Fair in February, we were given a very quick "No plans, not happening" in regards to a possible future adaption of Kamen Rider.

It would appear that the stories of TOEI being so upset at the adaption of "Masked Rider" by Saban are true, and that they will never allow Saban to adapt Kamen Rider ever again (and Kamen Rider Dragon Knight didn't help either).
