The Build BCR (Bottle Change Rider) series is quite boring because most of them didn't have head articulations.
RKF is really cool especially if they produce more past Riders in RKF toyline. I really want some of RKF like Ghost, OOO, Blade, and Agito.
I'm not just talking about quality; you have to think about price as well because this is the budget line. The previous gimmick lines were upwards of 3100 yen for each figure(some, like Ex-Aid, were as high as 3800 because they needed to replicate the Level 1 to Level 2 gimmick). Even older gimmick lines like W, still retailed for around 2500 yen, which was long before inflation really felt significant and you were still paying around 3500 yen for Tamashii Web Exclusive SH Figuarts. The "budget" lines were not really cheap, ESPECIALLY compared to RKF today.

I'd love to fully agree with this, as someone who collects a lot of 1/12 scale figures, but personally, I'd take this tradeoff any day because the unique scale is a big reason that RKF is so cheap. Given that the older gimmick line figures were as high as 3000-4000 yen, I honestly cannot find a reason to really complain when I could buy as much as 3 RKFs for the same price range, depending on the figures.

I loved them, myself. Like I said above, though, it's not just about whether we liked them or not, you have to weigh options here. They were really spectacular sometimes and the gimmicks were usually well-integrated, but they were absolutely not cheap. 3000-4000 yen(the average price range for almost every gimmick line) is really not efficient at all for a budget line, even if you factor in all the Kamen Riders that they skip(which sadly, is a lot).
This especially holds true when certain gimmick releases just don't really have enough of a gimmick to warrant such high price tags. It just becomes a waste of plastic at times. For example, I'm really pleased that I can grab RKF Hyper Muteki+Maximum Mighty X for a grand total of less than 3000 yen, whereas the LVUR release would be almost double that price.
