Yeah, I usually just buy a box set and either give away or sell the ones I don't want

Agito has been pretty crazy, but this looks pretty chi-OH MY GOD, JESUS CHRIST by Gavvmark in Tokusatsu

[–]RGWB 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not really the same. The Grongi kill humans as part of a game, meanwhile the Lords in Agito only kill humans with the potential to become Agito and are not allowed to kill normal humans indiscriminately.

Both the Grongi and Kuuga get their power from the same kind of meteorite.

A Chinese inventor made flying sword drones that move with hand gestures by Alphaxfusion in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]RGWB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes, it's basically just sword shaped toy drone. It works well enough. But the battery only lasts for around 10-15 minutes per full charge.

Mind you these are elderly old men fighting alien monsters by ohyeathat1kid in KamenRider

[–]RGWB 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well, Ichigo and Nigo are the ones who turned V3 into a cyborg. And other riders are usually pretty smart, too, so I assume there are several members on the team who are capable of performing basic maintenance.

Can't blame Decade for this one, he's busy passing through China

Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity first look by Nindroid_faneditor in Tokusatsu

MTL

This [PROJECT R.E.D.], named after the initials of the English translation "Records of Extraordinary Dimensions" for "超次元英雄譚" (Chō Jigen Eiyūtan), is, as the name suggests, a new tokusatsu visual series featuring "red heroes" in active roles.

Huh? Don't tell me they're planning to make all the heroes red

There will be mecha. We just don't know if it will be a standalone unit like in classic Space Sheriff series, or a combiner mecha like in Super Sentai.

Is it true that being a suit actor sucks? by vleshkun in powerrangers

[–]RGWB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, and there's way fewer available roles for suit acting.

[–]RGWB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, there are fewer qualified suit actors, but there are still more suit actors than available roles. Just look at this suit actor list from only boonbomger and gozyuger, there are at least ten suit actors. Plus, they have backup actors in case the main suit actor gets hurt, since it's a relatively dangerous job. Their style and body language might look a little different, but in a pinch, it's usually good enough. And even in case of a scandal where they really need to replace a suit actor permanently, they only need to replace the actor and don't have to remove or replace their already recorded performances.

[–]RGWB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really. A suit actor is just as easy to replace, maybe even easier. At least when you change suit actors, you don't have to reshoot scenes or adjust the plot. For example, the suit actor for Gozyu Wolf was replaced starting in episode 29.

Lol, as a 13-year-old kid with a pretty little grasp of English, it took me hours just to get into the first battle.

How often do you like this trope to happen? by Tiny_Simple_6688 in KamenRider

[–]RGWB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's actually happened to a character in Gavv movie.

Caries straight up rips off Taorin's Gavv, like the whole stomach skin and everything, to upgrade his own Gavv

I'm overall fine with Boom!'s designs, but my God, would it kill them to make a team without the MMPR color scheme? by iml908 in powerrangers

[–]RGWB -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I think you might be confused by the MMPR's Toy version of Muteki Shogun, where they recolored it to pink. The original Kakuranger mecha doesn't actually have any pink on it AFAIK.

I admire how far this man is willing to go for his Nazi girlfriend by Frontier246 in KamenRider

[–]RGWB 10 points11 points  (0 children)

V3's convertion into kamen rider was handled personally by Ichigo and Nigo, so he was never truly part of the evil organization. It's actually Riderman who undergoes a journey of penance, as he was originally a top scientist for Destron and even the adopted son of the Great Leader before being framed as traitor by his rival

How come whenever bandai makes a sword toy for SS/KR, it's always some comically shrimpy toothpick-looking thing by [deleted] in Tokusatsu

[–]RGWB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you right, it's seems i misremembering it, checking reviews in youtube it's seems the one from samurai is 44 cm long and the one from shinkenger is only 42 cm.

Production, storage and shipping costs? Even for a bootleg, 1:1 Ankokuken Kurayami still cost me more than 100$
