"After lengthy negotiations with the Japanese producers, we're finally releasing
the Kikaida

"Robby
Gaskell, DVD Producer of the past two box sets (Kikaida and Kamen Rider V3), has
pulled
all the plugs for this one, and tokusatsu fans will go wild over the special
features. I'd also
like to thank the staff at JN Productions and the countless number of Generation
Kikaida
