Toku - Kamen Rider Fourze/Wizard / Kyoryuger

One nice thing to come home to was a bunch of packages full of goodies. The lot of Fourze Switches I ordered on 10/1/14 came in and added them to my display, and added the extras to my goodie box for future giveaways/prizes. Also while I was away I ordered AstroSwitch #37 - Gyro. So with that and the Mag Phone I’m waiting for, that brings me to 92.5% of my Fourze collection.

The real surprise was my wife, knowing that I had a poopy week, thought to make me feel better, so she raided my wish list for a few things. She got Me the Kamen Rider Wizard DX Wizard Ring Set 03 and 04, which adds some much needed variety to my Wizard Ring collection. She also got the Kamen Rider Fourze AstroSwitch EX Drill Super 3, which is super cool! It also means I now have to be on the lookout for AstroSwitch EX Rocket Super 1.

Also was able to watch the first episode of Kamen Rider Drive. Not sure how i feel about it yet. It seemed very rushed, and a lot of things talking really fast, was hard to keep up with the subs. I think the driver is cool, will most likely get that. It just didn’t feel as fresh(pardon the pun) as Gaim. A lot of characters introduced, the new Rider, his whole police team, then the detectives who don’t like him, the bad guys, and the whole shift cars thing. I was surprised they used a lot of Shift Cars in this episode, didn’t think he’d use so many of them so soon. I’m sad the tires don’t seem to change his overall look very much. I’m assuming he’ll get some new forms as the show goes on.But definitely getting some Double, Kiva, OOOs vibes. In the main character’s past he was not able to save someone at a crucial moment like Eiji from OOOs, a talking Driver like Kiva, Police vibe gives it the W similarity, and the driver sounds like Decade’s when it calls out form changes. Other thing I thought was odd was the use of the Shift Cars driving on their own generated roads like Den-O/Tokkyuger does with train rails. Hoping the next couple eps will grab me.
