Anyway I really like Bake's weapon, it conveys the "gun that is also a mouth" idea much more clearly than the original Valen Buster and IMO just looks better.

Kinda weird how the cookie gochizo has little glowing paws(?), between that and the name I wonder if Bake will use heat/fire powers, possibly as a counter to Blizzard Sorbei's ice?

And while Bake is clearly based on a chocolate chip cookie, it also seems to evoke military camouflage, kinda like how Vram incorporated "tactical" aesthetics

I don't think either Bake or Bitter Gavv reuses old parts. The only reuse here is Bake actually straight-up reusing Bitter Gavv Breakookie form with a Valen-styled undersuit. It's just a case of parts looking similar to other parts since they share similar shapes. A friend of mine said that it looks like they're reusing the X Geats shoulder armor (which itself was a repaint of Vulcan Lone Wolf's), but they're just similarly shaped, Bitter Gavv's (and by extension, Bake's) shoulder armor doesn't have the straps or wire patterning those parts have.

I think they're just flat pieces so that they can use the same casts for Bitter Gavv's forms with some minor retooling and repainting. Comparing his forms to Shoma's which are all obviously different, Bitter Gavv's forms all share the same basic silhouette.

Toei has accidentally uploaded a preview for Gavv episode TWENTY-SEVEN, skipping ahead a week...

I was looking at the release calendar on tokullectibles and noticed that the "Kamen Rider Gavv Power-up Gochizo" is coming out in April and according to the description it sounds like the over master gochizo. If this is accurate, that means we are getting the final form in April. This will be interesting considering we just got the super form in February. Just thought it was interesting.

Also another thing I find interesting is that we are about to get three new gochizo sets, when we don't have a lot of remaining sounds in the gavv belt. These new gochizo are Mofupachi, Hagigoru, Waffle Saku, Crepes, Hotcake, Almond Cookie, Dora suke, Mitara Mochi, and Mogimaru. Just more stuff I find interesting.

That seems strange to me considering how many people in Japan are saying how hard it is to find gochizo and considering that we are getting so many toys released at retail. By now I feel like we would have some things at premium but the only new thing we have is the mimic deviser. (I know we have the talking gochizo but I'm talking Abt new things) And I feel like we didn't need the mimic deviser. But we are getting so many releases still with many more coming, so it seems weird that if the sales are that low we are still getting a crapton of retail released toys.

Edit: Just gonna add these in...

Why is the "is" part of Frappeis written in hiragana though?

Will the final form's key be everyone finally accepting Shoma as a hero & not a monster?
