Toei Team Ups

 

This is from a Sentai X Kamen Rider movie from ten or so years ago.  These four heroes show up at the end, and only in costume (which is good, since Ban Daisuke played both Kikaida and Inazuman's human form).  I have only watched it once and really don't remember what the whole movie was about.  I am sure I enjoyed it so some degree.  It just made me wonder why Toei kept most of their heroes in separate universes.  In the very first original Sentai movie, JAQK vs Goranger, both Kamen Riders and Kikaida were mentioned.  This was never mentioned again.

There are lots of set photos from the 70s of various Toei heroes together- Kikaida 01, Robot Detective and Kamen Rider V3, V3 and Spider-man, even.  Those would have been great movies, but they were never made.  It's not like Shotaro Ishinomori didn't create most of those heroes.  It's too bad.  Better to want these team ups then get lousy ones, though.
