Plat Form has an extra upper torso so you can use the Sword/Gun parts.

I don't really see it as a cash grab when we've gotten stuff like Kuuga Growing Form and Ryuuki Blank Form before in Figuarts.
Plat Form's still a legit form, even if it also serves a purpose if you want both Sword and Gun Form displayed. It's a completionist's form basically.

I mean that's also assuming everyone buying SS Den-O wants to display both Sword and Gun Form separately. I'm sure some do, but I know I don't for example. I actually like the form swap gimmick more since it lets me have both forms without needing the space for a completely separate figure in-storage or on a shelf. And since I mainly display in base form, I can keep the Gun Form parts stored until I need them for photography. I'm sure there are plenty of other collectors who look at it similarly.
Same reason I like Evol. I basically get one figure with the ability to pull off 3 forms whenever I wish. And even then you'll still have completionists that want all 3 forms on display, thus they'll buy Evol 3 times.

Hadn’t thought about that yet. Ideally they just give you two back pieces with the next set. |

Kurona, to reply to something you asked a while back on this forum, best selection build doesnt suffer the qc issues that were prevalent with og ultra. Plastic and rubber on the release is just as good as rider kicks or the first release. Only thing that concerned me was that i encountered a fleck of paint chipping from somewhere i couldnt see on the figure. I dont know if light paint chipping is common on case fresh figuarts. Oh and the joints were super tight.

Also hi im new here lol. I just made an account today after 10 years of lurking. Nice to finally chat with you. I had a question about rider shfs, is it common to see slight paint flakes after posing them straight out of the box? Or did mine just have excess paint near a joint since i couldnt find the flaking on the figure? Also is slight overspray common? Ive seen some copies of best selection build have molding issues on the rubber and and some paint issues there as well. I only saw this on the initial batch released in asian markets and thankfully my copy from bluefin was perfect so maybe just an issue in the first batch. Just something to watch out for.
