I bother quoting in the hopes you'll learn something, but evidently not. Plus, I'd rather write essays about Kamen Rider than about the history of the Scientific Method in France right now.

But this once, to point out the flawed aspect of your logic, this isn't about previous years. This is about Zi-O. Another Riders in particular. Not other random MOTWs. Nothing you said addressed that.
Except the Another Riders are precisely analogous to the other beginner Kaijin so far. Just because they happen to borrow some of the design aesthetics from previous series doesn't mean there's anything deeper than "that's a cool plot idea", or "I know what to do with our monster suit budget this year". Kamen Rider is built on a set of merchandising schedules, and first-quarter kaijins have never factored into that. To ignore that i to put these on a pedstal just because you happen to like the designs more.
Quote:
SIC as MOTW designs is an excuse for toys. Only reason to pick that in particular instead of straight up same suits like Decade did. Other series didn't warrant it(Build did though with the troop builders of the guardian robots, which right there refutes your claims anyway).
Only reason? You mean apart from:
a) Being something visually interesting and giving Zi-O a unifying villain theme, as opposed to Decade's "Having no story"
b) Doing something with the annual monster suit budget
c) Giving the fandom something to hype themselves about, ie: What will my favourite Rider's Another version look like?
Also, the Build Guardians aren't Kaijin, they're robot suits which they can pump out five different versions of from the same mold. Same as the Bugster mooks from Ex-Aid. These would be more like the Smash receiving suits, or the Gashat themed Bugsters... which didn't. I'll give you that Graphite recived his own Premium Bandai exlucisive box, but he was a recurring character that there was repaint value in.
Quote:
Now on these, I wouldn't expect anything soon. But given time, it's possible when they need new material or have an excuse like Another Decade to implement the play feature Sodo uses to limit down the amount of full new molded figures as opposed to parts like SODO uses. The Guardian robots/military robots were done from build because they were a troop builder constant. Which meant higher sales. So similarly, when the excuse presents itself, that's when we might see something like that. But for now, it doesn't fit in the cost effectiveness area and eats up too much space(2 boxes each) for other material that will move higher amounts.
Right now there would be no point. It'd be considered a spoiler to implement that kind of play feature too early for the MOTWs, and sales have to warrant it first. Otherwise why make product that won't move or isn't wanted and blocks product that will move and is in demand right now. Especially with so many ride armors that need to be done first.
... I'm pretty sure you're arguing against your own point here. This is all proof as to why they wouldn't be made. If your appeal to "Another Decade might be able to change into other Another Riders", keep in mind we don't have any idea what another Decade is, or what he does yet. And that's STILL no guarantee they won't just re-use the suits in show, ala the infinite times they repainted the 3 crows, or Salty's new hats. If you're arguing for the production of a troop builder another Rider (say, Another Riotrooper or Another Mage), I'd agree with you... except there's, again, no evidence of that. And SODO, as proven by their two years of lines, as well as the ending of their VS series, doesn't make that many villain figures.
Quote:
Same reason why the Another Watches are done the way they are. Cost and to test demand and response.
Or maybe because it's a pretty cheap remold of the Ride Watch mold they already have, combined with the fact a toy with lights and sounds is an easier sell than a figure, doubly combined with the fact it's Premium Bandai? Like all the other recent villain-toys Premium Bandai has put out (Kuroto's BugVisor, Great Cross-Z Dragon, Banno Driver).
Quote:
So next time you try to come at me, maybe see the video above first.
Though I do have others favorited for when the chances arrive, but better to save you the embarrassment.
I mean, considering the general response of other people, I don't seem to be the one embarassing myself. Especially by posting youtube videos telling others to go fuck themselves.
