there's probably something about a white form being on white page.

Oh, Kaji being designed like clock hands and literally turning around to change modes is really clever, it's like the turning hands of a clock! But I'm also so amused by how blatantly non-toy-accurate the spear mode is in the show. All the seiken are obviously scaled up (some more gracefully than others), but here it's just a completely different shape!

Man, that Blades form looks awesome

Blades' upgrade makes him look like a Polar Bear.

It might have something to do with how the top jaw of the lion comes down pretty far (at least in this shot) and breaks up the normal shape of his visor a lot.

Between that low jaw, the rough texture on the visor and what looks like an actual hair mane, the head almost looks more like a monster than a rider. I kinda dig it, but it's definitely weird.

I'm really hoping that Rintaro will be able to summon King Lion DaiSenki by using the new form. I know it wouldn't make much sense, but it would be a great way to give just a little more screentime for a form that's been used, what, 4 times in total, now? I honestly think that's such a neat gimmick. Lions are actually the most social wild cat species, after all. I'm sure the Wonder Ride Book will mention "pride" somewhere.

It'd also be nice for SO-DO/RKF collectors(and SHF collectors much later) to have some more...replay value, if that makes sense. I hate when I pick up a toy for a new form just to see it get tossed aside in the series. It still makes for a great display piece, but I really love to have a reason to display certain things right at my desk and at hand's reach.

Rintarou summons Kenshin as Fantastic Lion and then summons another generation of Blades and gives that illusion the King Lion WRB

Would be a neat sight. Even more so if Toei jokes on this on a 50th anniversary movie and Blades summons Kenzaki.

Hear me out: Ice Mane (or one of his other forms) riding King Lion!

That's exactly why I want it to be canon lol

I'm so glad I collect RKF - it'll probably be the only action figure line to represent King Lion DaiSenki's lion mode.

So, I was poking around the Twitter account everyone keeps linking to for these new forms, and I found this:

It looks like Ice Beast Blades' book has representations of all of the existing animal Wonder Ride Books, and more.
