Well seeing more of this show, all I can say is that it all looks okay to me. There isn't much that stands out, and I get that there are heavy 90's colors, but there is a reason that style pretty much died out.

Overall I'll watch the show, but the suits are a mixed bag for me. I enjoy them for the most part, but I can see the add on armor clashing. Also the level one mode looks ridiculous to me.

I wanted to comment on the suits, but this thread makes me want to kill myself.

Shut your mouth! Overly bright shades of pink and yellow will always be cool! Especially when put together.

In all seriousness though, I really wonder what made Toei go with this. Did focus group data tell them kids love magenta? Because I can't imagine that being the case. I guess the joke will be on us when toy sales go through the roof.

Well I am loving this, reminds of of gaudy the Gen 2 transformers were. I think the knight is my favorite so far, but I do like the rest too.

Jeez, that's a bit dark. Unlike these these stupid kiddie suit designs.

Just wait till there's five of them and then we'll start calling them the Official version of the Akibarangers

As someone whose familiarity with the franchise remains much more toy-based than show-based, I'm...more interested in seeing how the show turns out than the Figuarts do? I grew up in the 90s, so the colors don't bother me. Plying a video game theme and how that could play out is something I'm curious about. Honestly the only thing that bugs me about the initial suits we see here is the Riders have obvious irises, which is throwing me off (even Akibaranger didn't do that), but even when I say that, I'm thinking of lining toys up on a shelf instead of watching a show.

So yeah, I'll tune in and see how the show turns out, but I may not preorder the initial Riders whenever Figuart listings go up down the road. Even that said, I expect there to be enough different suits over time I'll find stuff more to my liking in plastic form later on.

And you're more than welcome to be wrong, my homie.

The only thing wrong I'm seeing is insisting your tastes are the only true one.

You know, your sarcastic responses aren't necessary and neither is your need to come to this show's defense.

There's this thing see, called appeal. Attraction. I wouldn't care if I was the best show in the world story-line wise, if I can't get past the way it looks then everything else will continue to suffer in comparison.

Surprise! Some people *are* wired that way! I don't care for it's appearance and I'm not the only one. I made a comment on it and not surprisingly, people have to rush to defend it, for whatever reason.

It looks like shit to me. ME. There's no need to try to coax me otherwise or get defensive just because you like it. I'm quite sure there are things that I enjoy that you don't care for either. Are you worried my opinion might sway yours? It shouldn't.

So after several years of waiting for a good Rider series, FOR ME it's dead to ME. I'll check back next year.

You know what really isn't necessary? Calling a show "shit" after seeing the first few leaked promotional pieces of it.

And I'm not defending a show I haven’t seen yet, I'm just sick of the attitude some people have around here. You can call a show shit if it actually is shit; I don’t care, but going around and doom saying a show that is three months away from being aired is stupid.

You can dislike and criticize the designs all you want, like I do, because I think they look horrible, but you called the whole show shit. And you have no reason to because the show isn’t out yet.
