I swear they made the Double Action color scheme just to make me realize that I prefer the base Ex-Aid color scheme, which are words I never thought I'd type.

On the one hand, most of the designs strike me as too busy, and most (but not all) of the color combinations strike me as unfortunate, but I love how crazy it all continues to be, as well as that the toys don't give away *too* much about what'll happen in the show. I mean, it's Kamen Rider: there will be upgrades and too-chunky belt attachments and additional Riders.

Zombie Genm looks great, even though now that many of you have pointed out the Mashin Chaser resemblance, I can't unsee it. Dragon Hunter looks bonkers, and I'm curious about the nature of its compatibility with Brave, Snipe, and Laser. The Gashacon Key Slasher looks to me like the statistical average of the Gashacon Breaker and Brave's and Snipe's weapons.

Aesthetics aside, I have some functional concerns about the limitations the even-clunkier belts and insane shoulderpads (on Ex-Aid Double Action) will impose on fight sequences. And, heck, on the articulation of any related Figuarts. Actually, I wonder how soon we'll see a solicitation for Ex-Aid Gamer Level 2, and how hard Bandai is willing to tackle figures for a multi-Rider show now that Figuarts is juggling so many other properties.
