Gaim toy thread - Who's in?

I hope if they do make more Rider arms, they look better than the Legend set.

SPLIT LIP · 12-28-2013, 06:29 PM

The legend set isn't bad. Basically it's just the giant backpacks that stink on W, OOO and Fourze. And at least they're managable on W and OOO. If future rider arms were like Wizard, using more of the face as armour, they'd be better. Example, it REALLY seems weird that W's crest doesn't end up ANYWHERE besides the back. They could've attached it to the shoulders. Granted that doesn't match W's look, but neither do the shoulderpads now. Likewise OOO's "wings" would make sweet shoulder pads.

Really the weakest of the set is OOO, which takes a very attractive and ornate helmet and turns it into the blandest armour. Outsid ethe little side wings and the tiny Taka symbol on the chest circle, there's no red from the helmet. The shoulderpads are just black squares, lacking even the ridge detail W at least had.

I'm not a fan, personally. They all seem to fit awkwardly, like they are too small and they are all somehow amazingly bland, considering they are making the armours out of other Rider's. I know that is more down to the real life movie forms, but some of the more boring armours like Kiwi was able to translate just fine as a toy.

I guess it also doesn't help that minus W, Gen, Eiji and Haruto are three Rider's I love, so it feels like they deserve so much more.

Then again, they're four armours sold at the same price as the two-armour sets.

For $5 each, you get a really nicely done helmet that unfolds into a cool piece of armour as a sweet homage to past riders most series don't do. Especially this early on. That's IF you even pay $20.

I do really wish they came with weapons. I know that'd be lopsided, since W doesn't have a weapon, but if anything that just gives more room for a large rocket module for Fourze.

Anyone else have the loose OOO armor problem with the eyes continually flopping down on the back?

AlphaGrandCanine · 12-28-2013, 09:49 PM

Ive found it a decent little novelty. Unlikely the armour i'll use for display.

I know its not movie accurate, but OOO on Gaim and Wizard on Baron really does look better. I know why it is the way it is, but the colours fit so much better.

Just a heads up.

Still not as bad as the 190,000 yen Deka Green.
