that was Bandai/game developer efforts.. not lazy Toei
Some rider actors willing to reprise back as rider, but that depend to the company to do that.
True.
Toei on the Tokusatsu side is really cheapskate in producing KR and Sentai series and movies. They only focusing more on the costumes, bikes, and mechas instead of the story and settings/props. IMO, they only let out more budget on a series/movies that can cash in a lot of money to them, eg: KR Den-O.
Due to this, I am not expecting any bombastic ideas/stories with great settings from their Tokusatsu side. Moreoever, they should hire good directors and scriptwriters.
IMO, why don't Toei take example from Tsuburaya. They tried hard to make their movies and series better since Ultraman Tiga. Put a lot of efforts and budget and gamble on the result wouldn't hurt much because surely fans will appreciate it more and watch their shows more.
Ohwai Toei..
