Best Heisei KR monster designs?

[Dark Kabuto]

Which series do you think had the best looking monster designs?

My vote goes to the Unknows/Lords of Kamen Rider Agito. They pull off that terrifying monster look pretty well. Plus I like how organic the suits look.

Loved the design of the Orphenochs, their details were very excquisite. People complained that their color was too monotonous, I think that's their appeal.

Sleek monster designs always better than bulky "kiddy mascot" *cough* Dopants *cough* designs.

Where's the poll?

Anyways...I liked the design for the Undead. It's very detail-oriented, but done so without looking extremely bulky. In fact, I'd say the suit actors for the Undead were able to move very well in those.

Undead, and I explained why the last time we had this poll.

I also really liked the new-old villains in Decade. A bunch of them I actually like more than their predecessors from the originals, and then (if we're going to count him) the new Ten-Face Demon, which is one of the coolest designs I've seen in years.

Undead first, followed by Orphenochs. :thumbs:

 

[Shougo B'Stard]

Unknown, although I might be a wee-bit biased because of Yutaka Izubuchi being the designer. No, he does freaking great work, and he needs to do another tokusatsu show, even if it's something fake like Tomica Hero Postal Workers.

In term of design, Undead is my favorite. Design have a lot of detail and colorful. Not very bulky overal design are quite simple and recognizeable. They also looks menancing enough as a monster (some of them have skull like face).

 

[Black Fang]

Orphenochs, Undeads and Worms. The Fangires and Unknowns are nice as well.

Heisei monster designs have overall been pretty good, really. It makes me want to see a show with robot villains. The last Toei shows that had cool-looking robot monsters-of-the-week were Metal Heroes (Namely Spielban and Metalder. I know others have them, but these two I have seen more of). Ohranger and Go-Onger's machine villains were, with some exceptions, a joke. Heisei Rider might do them justice again.

Dopants.

I'm go to throw in behind the Imajin, even though I don't super-like Den-O. What I like about the Imajin is that they're very slim suits, even though they're very detailed, which allows the suit actors to convey a lot of personality through body language. Even the monsters of the week get to have all kinds of neat little mannerisms that simply are not possible with the bulkier suits most of the other Heisei shows use.
