I think my one complaint about Drive is that compared to the last few shows that I've sat through, something about Drive feels much more toyetic than past series the whole Trideron chase scene just felt like one three minute commerical for the DX toy.

Now I know that selling toys is the whole point of Kamen Rider but I dunno…I feel like it's not really as sublte with Drive as it has been in the past.

I think TJ Omega put it best in his review of the Drive Driver, past Kamen Rider gimmicks feel like cool future tech while the Shift Cars just feel like toys.

I call bullshit on that. Cards to henshin? 3 shows of that I might add. Collectible medals? Astro Switches for gods sake? This show is no more or less gimmick driven then any other recent show. Early Heisei stuff is much less gimmick drive but still, this show is no better or worse than others for it.
