The Kamen Rider Topic

[ThatGuyNamedJoe]

Anyone else here a fan of Kamen Rider? Kamen Rider is a Japanese Tokusatsu that began in 1971 and has a new season each year. My personal favorite season is either OOO or Den-o.

Double, Kiva, and 555 are top on my list, followed by OOO and Fourze.

My favorites list currently sits at Agito, Gaim, Double, Kabuto, and Decade. I'm... a bit of a fan.

Hey TJ! It's good to see that you've found the new forums. Can't wait to see your review on the Sengoku Driver! By the way, VERY impressive collection!

Still a big fan of some Rider, but I've put a pause on the toys for a little while.
Might get Drive at some point.

Well, the drive driver is 30 dollars on amazon if you're interested.

I have about 2 dozen Kamen Rider S.I.C. figures because they look awesome but I haven't watched any of the shows. What's a good place to start?

[NoPaintRequired]

I suggest a Heisei era Rider. While I have respect for the Showa era Riders, their age is something hard to get over for a first timer. The only problem with some Heisei era Riders is that they sort of have a phase to shill and problems are solved with deus ex new toy for some episodes. Usually after that though, it's when the show's writing is at its highest.

As a personal preference, Double is my go-to for suggestions.

I usually base this on anime you prefer. If you prefer something more humor-driven, Den-O. If you like something more dramatic, Kabuto. Somewhere in the middle, Double. After taking a couple series in, I'd give Gaim or Agito a shot, both are fantastic series but aren't the best to jump straight into, as the former has some strange themes you have to get used to at the start, and the latter is an older cinematography style.

I'm a fan but not been keeping up with it lately, kind of stopped during Wizard and not picked it up since then but want too cos heard Gaim is good.
favorite series was OOOs but favorite riders are Diend and Meteor

So, I fell down a VERY dangerous hole.

I became obsessed with Figuarts...

Oh boy... Well, financial security was nice while it lasted.

Yeah...

In my first week of collecting Figuarts I've spent $150.

Also, I ordered my first few Drive DX toys. They look cool from what I've seen, and are dirt cheap on Amazon.
