MAn... I didn't even know this thread was here. I'm a Rider fan, just finished making myself a few Decade cards today (since I've been re-watching Decade lately)

I wish they'd make a new American adaptation of a Kamen Rider series. It would our 3rd one in America, but I hope it's way better than Dragon Knight and much much more successful. The Dragon Knight show was too slow and it felt more like an internet web series than a Kids' TV show. And the action figures were too small. Bring Kamen Rider Double to America!!

Never heard of 000 (triple zero). The correct title is OOO (three O's, pronounced "Ouz").

I've seen bits and pieces, but it has Double's epicness and combo mechanism with a dash of Den-O's humor. I mean, the series has little helper bots that transform into soda cans and the motorcycle is a vending machine! What's more, the 2nd Rider of the series is modeled after a small toy dispenser, complete with popping sounds when a ball is opened. Kinda silly actually.

The series has already past its "Super Form" debut (think Den-O's Wing Form or Double FangJoker) with the TaJaDol Combo, but the Ultimate Form has yet to be revealed. There are still two more combos in the pipeline, which I'm eagerly awaiting.

I wanted to get those toys but I never saw them in the stores and now the shipping will kill me if I get them online.


OMG, the show was too slow for me. They really didn't need 2 recap episodes, considering they only had one short season. That made me mad. Dragon Knight felt like it could be a web series. For a TV show, it really didn't have the action-packed/awesome elements that make a kid all hyped up for the show. It's too, too, SLOW! Power Rangers RPM was a serious season, but was not slow at all. The Dragon Knight people should've at least learned from RPM lol. They constantly kept telling themselves off-camera "okay, remember guys, don't act like they do in Power Rangers!" That's fine, but the show needs to pick up pace. Hopefully they don't make the same mistake if they ever make another American adaptation of Kamen Rider. And the action figures were only available at Toys'R'Us in my state. Come on! They need to put them in Walmart stores at least! :-(

Kamen Rider Rant/Gush

[rant]
So far I've watched in their entirety:
Kamen Rider Ryuki - Rather depressing at the end, in the movie, and in the 13 Riders special...
Kamen Rider 555/Faiz - Awesome show, One of my favourite Rider suits is Faiz's, saddened by a certain character's death
Kamen Rider Kabuto - That was an all around good show, and features some excellent Rider costumes
Kamen Rider Decade - I was so sad when that one ended at the end of Movie Taisen 2010, I think it's the show I miss the most, was so happy to see Decade leaping down, slashing with the Ride Booker in sword mode in the Let's Go Kamen Riders trailer
Kamen Rider W/Double - Haven't seen the movies yet, but looking forward to when I can.

Even after all the Rider shows I've watched, I still can't find myself liking OOO... As such I probably won't watch it... at least until the series has ended, and after I've seen a few other shows I wish to watch (Having a horrendous bandwidth limit on the only Internet Provider in my area is NOT helping matters, either)

I've sworn to watch and finish before I start OOO:
Kamen Rider Blade
Kamen Rider Kiva

I'd like to watch before I watch OOO:
Kamen Rider (If I can find a subbed version of the series)
Kamen Rider Black
Kamen Rider Black RX
Kamen Rider Kuuga
Kamen Rider Den-O

Soon, the figure collections will start... I've already got the MG Figurerise Kamen Rider Double Cyclone/Joker form model, and I got a few Dragon Knight toys, which I use to represent their Ryuki counterparts, and have been repainted to better match the shows. Some day down the line when I'm not totally broke, and don't have much in the way of TFs to buy, I'm looking at SH Figuarts.

SH Figuarts I currently REALLY want:
Faiz - HOLY CRAP THE ACCESSORIES
Kabuto - Just looks cool, proportions are a bit off, though...
#1/Ichigo - THE FIRST movie ver. - I liked THE FIRST, good movie, good redesign of Rider 1's suit.
Black RX - Love me some Black RX
[/rant]

Long story short:
Over the last couple years I've fallen headfirst into a love of Kamen Rider stuff. I've got some, seen some, want more more more.

If you wanna get technical, the actual number up to now is this:

5 head Core Medals x 5 Arm Core Medals x 5 Leg Core Medals = 5³ = 125 different combinations. :P I'm not counting the Movie Exclusive TaMaShii Combo or the Panda Medal. With the last two combos of 3 medals each, plus the Ultimate form, the total will be:

7³ + 1 = 343 + 1 = 344 combinations!

Makes ya wonder how Decade is gonna be able to imitate this guy :lol:

Or maybe a card for each of the single color combos, plus TaToBa Combo, then separate Attack Ride cards for a Medal Change? He could do the same thing for W.

Well, finally bit down and did it. With impending reissues of a couple SH Figuarts toys, my Rider Collection has begun. Preordered on BBTS at this moment are: Black RX (YES!) Ichigo (THE FIRST Ver.) and Kuuga (Mighty Form)

*screams like a fangirl*

I just saw a YouTube video on OOO's latest combo: PuToTyra Combo, consisting of Pteranodon, Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus. That's right, it's a Dinosaur combo and is so cool, especially the call "Pu-To-Tyra No Zauru" :x

That's OOO's real "Super Form as it's standalone and cannot be mix-and-matched, like how Double's FangJoker can't be used with Metal and Trigger (strange they're both Dinosaur-themed though). So the total amount of possible combos needs to be recalculated:

1 GataKiriBa
2 RaToraTah
3 SaGouZo
4 TaJaDol
5 ShaUTa

plus the final mix-and-match combo (BuraKaWani, with Cobra, Kame (Turtle) and Wani (Crocodile)) makes 6, of 3 medals each. Add PuToTyra and then the possible Ultimate Form, then you get:

6³ + 2 = 216 + 2 = 218 combinations.

Still not counting TaMaShii or Panda :P

Really looking forward to the new SHF Den-O Strike Form. Love the suit..

..Picked up SIC Kabuto. The figure is freaking sick. So many different hands and everything. SIC's are just crazy awesome.

Here's a checklist of S.H. Figuarts figures:

http://www.fanmode.net/2008/09/29/shfiguarts-checklist/

While the majority of SHF products are of Kamen Rider characters/vehicles, there are also SHF figures of Dragonball, Super Sentai, and other properties.

SHF collecting can be addictive so be warned!

Well, for Kamen Rider fans, SHF, S.I.C., and S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii collecting can be addictive, speaking from personal experience.

I wouldn't worry, I have my eyes set on only a few, namely Yuuki, New Den-O Strike and Vega forms, Double CycloneJoker, FangJoker and CycloneJoker Xtreme. Once a OOO PuToTyra Combo comes out, I'll snap him too :P

I'm disappointed to see no SHF of Kiva's regular form. I've recently finished watching Kiva in it's entirety, and that's definitely a figure I'd like to get. Sure there's Emperor form... buit that's just too damn gold for me. I'm also quite fond of the look of IXA and Rising IXA (And after looking at the SHFs... damn, man... if I had the money, especially that Rising IXA exclusive)

Well, this is interesting. The final Kamen Rider OOO combo, BraKaWani (Cobra, Kame, Wani, or Turtle and Crocodile for the last two) is set to appear in the summer movie, but it looks like it's another case of no "mix-and-match" as it's featured only in movie (so far). You know, I'm not gonna bother with calculating anymore until the series is done. So we have now:

Multi-color combos
TaToBa

Single-color mix-and-match combos
GataKiriBa
LaToraTah (I used "Laion" and "Cheetah" transcription for the animals)
SaGohZo
TaJaDor ("Condor" transcription)
ShaUTa

Single-color non-mix-and-match combos
PuToTyra
BraKaWani (for now)

That makes a total of 8 distinct regular forms for OOO (not counting TaMaShii). Is that a record, not counting Kuuga's upgrades?

Only explanation: Final Form Ride... P-p-p-pantsu!

Anyway, love Kamen Rider, favorite would either have to be W or Kabuto.

I kinda liked Decade.

OOO really grew on me, one of my favorites now.

Anybody watched the first fight of the series? I think it was pretty enjoyable. :)

After OOO ended, I'm pretty surprised he never got a proper Final Form like Double's CycloneJoker Extreme. Then again, one could consider TaJadol Combo his Final Form, since the symbol on his chest is one piece, and it's a Super Combo, roughly equal in power to PuToTyra Combo. And there's always a possible crossover with extras :P Hopefully not with Den-O this time.
