Really digging this suit and the power up forms too.

This series looks really fun, and can't wait to hear more solid info on cast and story.

I think so too. The seemingly slimmer arms, the slimmer figure, the lack of broad shoulders, the "hour glass waist" remarks about the belt. The torso itself being more compact. Lack of any kind of suit actor remarks whatsoever. The armor itself not being gendered in design unlike Decade's and Kabuto's or Kiva's and others.

Everything seems to point to a possible Woman Rider and they were trying to keep it hush hush until the formal announcement.

And tbh. About time. Perfect way to end the era and prep for the next. The toys are going to sell no matter what anyway if the suit is cool. This feels like a Decade/W situation too, where we might get two celebratory ones. Really likely 3 if you think about. End of one era, beginning of the next era, then 50th anniversary. So I think we're in for a wide amount of surprises coming up. Especially if this one does well, and it likely will.

And people saying "not the right time for this", you're half right. The right time was back in the 70s with Tackle from Stronger getting a spinoff but due to reasons couldn't(speaking of! Her 60th birthday is this year isn't it?). But now is good too.

This could be really interesting on the toy market too, as the rider form is predominately non-gendered like Ixa and others were. And it's not like they make figures of the out of suit identities for mainlines all that often to at all outside of collector areas.

And Yup. Kyoko Okada's 60th birthday is this October too. The original Tackle from Stronger.
October 21, 1958. So this would be absolutely perfect timing. Doesn't get much better than lining up to a significant date pertaining to what was supposed to be the first Fem Rider ever.
