It would be a different story if the there was a DinoBuckle that only came with the Pterodactyl coin, or a Magiphone that was solely for Pink or Blue.

Indeed, it's hard enough for female characters to get unique role play items that they don't have to share with the boys, or mecha that actually matter.

An egregious example is MagiRed, MagiYellow and MagiGreen all having unique transformations for their MagiStick, while MagiPink and MagiBlue are stuck with using them as wands. Even MagiMother, a unique character, gets a generic MagiStick with a snowflake ornament added on top, nothing compared to Wolzard's or MagiShine's arsenals.

DekaBright shares her arsenal with DekaBreak. The only female Sixth Ranger in history, Go-on Silver, has to be paired (a unique case in itself) with Go-on Gold, sharing all his tools.

Kamen Rider Nadeshiko and Kiva-la share transformations schemes with previous Kamen Riders, and even with their device alterations (e.g. two Switch slots on Nadeshiko instead of 4) we don't see DX toys of their henshin devices.

It's still a rather sad situation that hopefully Bandai will be brave enough to change. However, I have my doubts that we'll get any main female Riders soon.

I finally got to watch this one today at lunch. I really enjoyed it. The origin was about what I expected it to be, but it was well done. Hellhound made for a cool foe, and the fact that he had his own bike gave me Black Rx flashbacks.

I'm very much enjoying this show and am glad I decided to give it a shot. So far, I like Hurricane the most of the modes we have seen, but green is my favorite color, so no big shock there. I must admit a Figuart would look great posed with my Kamen Rider 1 FA!
