			In my opinion, I bet it works like one of those fancy Light Saber toys.  The ones that only light up.  Lol!

Basically U up until Decade, or maybe W I can’t remember which, Toei used Masked Rider as their official Romanization because that’s the most literal translation, W onwards used Kamen Rider because they started treating that more like a proper noun which didn’t need to be translated. To keep things consistent, i guess, Toei and Bandai use both phrases to describe different “phases” of the franchise. |

			I really hope that they can get Tetsuo Kurata for an advertisement video. Depending on what is included and how expensive it is I might bite, but I would’ve loved it if they made a complete package and included the belt as well. It’s not what Tamashii Lab is for, I understand that, but getting the belt too would’ve been awesome. EDIT: I realize the belt is the stand, but I mean a wearable one.
