As a kid he was my first experience on what a anti-hero is. I thought he was the coolest.

I thought they already made an SIC Hikaider?

They've done multiple SIC Hakaiders in various color schemes and with or without the bike. But a nice modern update would be cool. A Figuart would be amazing for Kikaider and Hakaider too. Though I won't just settle for Jiro & Hakaider. I need Ichiro and Rei too. Give me a Space Sheriff like trio of Kikaiders damn it!

If anyone is interested, here is the movie trailer from the 70s TV show. This brings back good memories growing up in Hawaii. A neighbor had a library of recorded VHS tapes of shows that aired Toku shows. Through this my first exposure to Kamen Rider was V3 and Gorenger for Super Sentai.

I remember learning about Kikaider back in the old Kaiju Review fanzine in the 90s. When the anime came on Cartoon Network, I floored all my anime otaku friends by telling them it was a tokusatsu several decades earlier.

A modern tokusatsu Kikaider show would be a real blast -- the scenario in a lot of ways reminisicent of the old school Kamen Riders (with the hero being the same sort of creation as his foes), and there is a lot of room for both action and character in the story of an android like Kikaider.

Plus, to echo others: Hakaider! Woo woo woo! You Know It!
