The show would have to be extremely popular for Figurats to touch this as there track record shows that popularity=more focus for them in the long run. SIC would be a long time as they are usually about 2-3 shows behind on there focus so it would be some time for that. Honestly, my big hope is SO-DO will get the chance to do them all at least as with there Chronicle Line now moving on to Den-O we may have at least all main Riders in this scale.
The reason there is concern about biting into SIC sales is because another riders essentially are SiC stylized riders of the past. Which is why Ghost isn't in the initial line up since Ghost is the newest SiC being pushed. But that may still make the cut later for Sodo because of how much it's more towards Jeeper Creepers instead of how SiC approached it(plus it was one hell of an awesome episode too!). But because of scale, and style of figure it's less of a concern here for Sodo. For Rider Kick on the other hand though, might prove more of a concern for another Ex-Aid. Or whatever SiC would be releasing at that time. (The concern is that new potential SiC customers may turn to what they may feel is a cheaper alternative instead of buying SiC. Driving sales away from SiC, so caution is preferred to balance it well, since mutual sales growth is preferred instead of self-cannibalizing sales from each other.)
Rider Kick is the new line going forward, but how far it continues of Zi-O stuff after Zi-O is over is definitely a question. We may see a few things like how Build carried over into early Zi-O while Zi-O was still fleshing material out. So the same will likely be true for the next rider series, as they'll need filler as the show develops out to avoid initial spoilers. But filler can be done from a lot of things that fans want too. So that doesn't mean directly another Riders, but it could also. Or at least a P-Bandai exclusive set maybe. Rider Kick is staying around until minimum the 50th anniversary since that's right around the corner. Hence the name of it. As in the original theme song "Let's go Rider Kick." Same reason there is so much focus on the feet too. Shoes/Kicks have become kind of an accidental running gag/marketing thing for a bit now for various reasons.
But yeah definitely on this might be the only place. The request put in was only for SoDo right now. Because that's what different fans were asking for directly at the time the request was made. It was only loosely discussed at first, dismissed for then(due to the SiC concerns, and some other concerns), but was up for debate to revisit, then finally formally requested because fans kept asking for it, and the show designs were really cool.
Between Shodo, SODO, and MRS, nearly all the riders are almost covered in this scale now. Some are getting revisited still though. Really only missing some of Blade, some of Faiz, and the rest of Agito/Kuuga. MRS already covered everyhing between about Kabuto to Kiva, and Shodo filled in a few missing spots there minus a few remaining from Kiva and is doing Ryuki now. Decade's candy toys were already to scale though. But that's the goal to complete that scale entirely between Shodo and SODO. With also a few troop builders thrown in and side characters of prominence.
