Here's a question for you SO-DO Build collectors.
I'm about to put together Kamen Rider Evol(t) from Series 10. I see that he comes with, across a few boxes in the wave, heads and armor for all three of his forms: Cobra, Rabbit, and Dragon. But I've just got the one body to put all of these pieces on. I can't make all three separate variations. I've decided to make Cobra, and leave the other pieces aside. What I'm wondering is, what do you other collectors do in these circumstances? Buy extra bodies so you can make all three? Stick with your single purchase? Stick with your single purchase and switch out heads/armor occasionally?

Recreate the "to be or not to be" scene.
In seriousness though, and I know it's not SO-DO specific, but whenever a figure/kit I have has multiple options like this with left parts/accessories, I tend to just pick one and stick with it; Keeping the other stuff stored away. Maybe occasionally take them out for photo ideas or somesuch.

Yeah, I've got a couple bags filled with spare parts, devided by series. I try to buy extra bodies when I'm already buying something else from madarake. I used to also sometimes buy fall cases instead of just the set of one of each back during Build before they started packing in extra bodies during Zero-One

The case thing is actually what bugs me about the Kamen Rider Evol(t) figure, because I bought a case and I still can only make one figure. If they'd expanded the case to have three bodies instead of one (making it a ten-box case instead of an eight-box case), I'd be solid. As is, I don't really feel like trying to track down extra bodies. It's a really good figure, though. I put my tiny man together during a very long phone call with my mom. She had a brief health scare this past weekend (cut her tongue on a straw) that resolved itself with no issue earlier today, so I was just calling to see how she was doing. How she was doing was feeling incredibly talkative, and, if anything, stickering ol' Hipster Dad probably kept me more engaged in the conversation than if I'd've been paying complete attention. In short: I never use my spare parts, the Build 10 case should've been ten boxes, Evol(t)'s a great figure, I'm a terrible son. (I mean, I called! But it was a 45-minute phone call! And I already knew she was fine! Stop judging me!)

I usually keep the spare parts in a tiny bag, but if I'm sure I'll never use extra parts, like in the case with the OOOs TaToBa, I will post stuff on eBay

They just didn't do spare bodies in cases for repeated Riders like that before Zero-One, three years in. If I'm remembering right, G/D-Man had a big long blog post about it where he explained how they'd reconsidered, and now 01 would have enough bodies for everyone!
And I'm trying my best to keep track of what parts are which, but that's hard. I think I've still got if figured, though.
