*ProductPlacement: Televi-kun regularly promotes ''Kamen Rider'', and ever since the Heisei era started they've distributed a "Hyper Battle" [[invoked]]BonusEpisode DVD each year (and for a few series they've released ''multiple'' Hyper Battles). These episodes in turn often reference the magazine, and many later series include promotional TransformationTrinket collectibles featured in the episodes and packaged with the magazine. In ''Saber'', said trinket is a toy version of ''Televi-Kun'' itself.
