Here's that Machine Kivaa set btw:
I hate it how they pack in cool accessories with the bikes now in a poor attempt to get people to buy them. If they don’t sell, just don’t make them, and start including accessories with the figures again. That violin should come with Kiva! |

It's always hard to know when to strike the balance between keeping the prices low and which accessories to put with the main figure, but I feel in this case they got it right on. The violin in particular is important to Kiva's character, but it's not something he used in-hand an awful lot; and most time he used it it wasn't even in the suit. Meanwhile, the chair is something that was only in the intro and the last few episodes -- and when it appeared in those last few episodes, it was again out of suit. The way I'd put it is this -- Machine Builder was pretty awful because it was a case where it was practically necessary to make Build a good package. But here, this is essentially just a deluxe bonus kit. Some of the more lesser-used larger items from Kiva if you're a big fan, but hardly necessary if you just want a decent figure of Kiva on a budget or for your Heisei Rider collection.

Hell yeah Kivaa! One of my favorite bikes. Would have bought it even without the extra accessories.

Did Wizard's original styles sell all that well? Because that might be a potential reason.
Definitely surprised we didn't see an SS Beast, though. You'd think they'd at least want to capitalise on his recent return and all that* *Assuming the toy department knows about the marketing department, which is pretty unlikely, but a Silver can dream

Well, at least RabbitDragon's Figuart is more solid than his TV appearance.

To be fair, since it began life as a Ganbarizing form, a physical suit was never created for it. As I understand it, the inclusion in the finale was a bit of a last second thing as well. Originally the head for that form was used to tease the movie, but then we got the fused Build/Cross-Z form. I'm guessing some creative changes just went on behind the scenes that we aren't totally privy to.
