Kamen Rider General Questions

Sentai · 09-08-2015, 05:36 AM

I brought this up on Twitter. We haven't had a purely insect themed Kamen Rider since, I think, Agito. Technically before that. And the more I think about it the more I think it'll never happen again. Because it's difficult having a gimmick around insects. On that note I don't see Ghost toys out selling AC Gaim or TK Drive merch based on that. Ghost does have a Gaim feel (Changing Hoodies, Changing Armors) toy-wise. But.. I don't know.

The last completely Insect themed Rider that wasnt mixed with something else was Kabuto. Decade had an Insect theme but was also mixed with the Barcode.

In terms of toys with Ghost we have to wait and see. Gaim sold well with the Arms Change line but the Roleplay Toys didnt sell all that wel. Gaim made a bit more money than Wizard but could not get close to Fourzes sales numbers. Drive is also not selling very well at the moment for Rider standards. Drive has currently the lowest toy sales since Kiva.

Ghost counts as an insect rider too. He based off of a firefly.

What insect is Agito supposed to be, exactly?

ElConvoy · 09-08-2015, 11:36 AM

He isnt. he is a Dragon.

Yep he is a dragon. It is not as direct as Ryuki but that is the word on the street.
