Series REVIEW: Kamen Rider Agito

Proving that you can't keep a good hero down for very long, after Kamen Rider Kuuga spearheaded the Heisei era revival of the Kamen Rider franchise it was immediately followed up with Kamen Rider Agito - a series that didn't just celebrate Rider's 30th anniversary, but the 50th anniversary of Toei as a whole. Kamen Rider Agito is particularly notable for not only being the first series to tackle a multi-Rider dynamic, but as an indirect sequel to Kuuga is also a rare example of continuity in the Heisei era. Finally Agito was also Toshiki Inoue's debut as a head writer for the franchise. Inoue previously had several writing credits on Super Sentai (the most notable being Chojin Sentai Jetman), with this series beginning the long (and perhaps turbulent) relationship he would go on to have with Kamen Rider.

Toybox REVIEW: S.H. Figuarts -Shinkocchou Seihou- Kamen Rider Agito Ground Form

The Shinkocchou Seihou sub-line of S.H. Figuarts has managed to make a massive impact despite only having a handful of releases to it's name, with the team at Bandai Tamashii Nations pouring in all their efforts to make of the best Kamen Rider action figures that have ever been produced. Not only has it brought us one step closer to having all the lead Heisei era Riders with Kamen Rider Hibiki, but also brought us fantastic renewals of some of the oldest figures in the mainline - namely Kamen Rider Kabuto and Kamen Rider Kuuga. Continuing with that trend and also fittingly following on from Kuuga is Kamen Rider Agito Ground Form - the second of the Heisei Riders and another character in desperate need of an upgrade.
