Well, that’s interesting– ICv2 reports that 4kids has licensed the tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Ryuki (to be called Kamen Rider Dragon Knight), the 12th series in the Kamen Rider franchise, which has been running in Japan since the ’70s.

It looks like the show will be Americanized a la Power Rangers (i.e. they’ll just redub the action stuff but have American actors do the rest of the scenes), with the American version of hero Shinji Kido becoming Kit Taylor. A shot has been offered but the actors in it haven’t been named. Apparently the plot of this particular Kamen Rider iteration is that Kit is one of 13 people to find an Advent Card, giving him Kamen Rider powers– but there can be only ONE Kamen Rider…cue a battle to become The One Rider…TO RULE THEM ALL.

Okay, I admit, I don’t really follow tokusatsu shows, but this is kinda neat: for the 40th anniversary of Ultra Seven, Bandai Networks is selling commemorative wine sets, including a bottle of what appears to be red wine - I don’t know squat about wine even in English, so sorry I can’t be more specific - and a wine glass with a seal logo thingie on it, for ¥9800 (about $82 USD), along with some kind of doodle and signature from Kouji Moritsugu, who played the titular character in the series (which, by the way, is part of the same overall franchise as Ultraman, if you didn’t already guess).

Oh, and it’s limited edition, too– 777 of them will be available via LalaBit between now and September 28th.
