Well they have to do SOMETHING after they've exhausted the main Heisei/Reiwa Riders and probably figure that, like, a whole year of Skyrider, ZX and V3 isn't the most appealing thing to most fans... so yeah, I think we will get more non-main Riders before long!
Heck, we're getting Skull in a couple of months, y'know? I definitely think we'll see some popular secondaries and extras pop up.

A question I keep asking in regards to Figure-rise is its future. With all main Heisei Riders complete, what next? We've got some alternate forms which is great and all but only TaJaDor stands out as fairly elaborate. (being mostly new parts) Is a line entirely of secondary riders and alt forms really feasible? Or will they mix in Showa and Reiwa to keep that relevance? I feel like secondary Riders are a must. I want to know this line isn't going to fizzle once it's used up all its main Rider forms. |

Outside of Showa and Reiwa main Riders, I think the most likely things are...
- A bunch of Den-O stuff - Kuuga Ultimate - Popular secondary Riders (Kaixa, Chalice, Accel) - Shadow Moon I think we'll see them mix it up a bit too. As an example, both this year and last had 5 retail releases; with 2021 having one non-main rider (Trychaser) and this year having two (Skull and Fang/Joker). I think that's a good sign that we'll see a mix of Main Riders and extra stuff once the Heisei project is done, and probably in an even more intense way unless they decide to go super hard on getting a lot of Showa Riders done quickly. There's also that, well... this is a franchise that puts out a new main hero daily. FRS is always going to have one main rider to do a year at least!

I feel like Bandai is ignoring a potential windfall with Ryuki and Kabuto alone. Those suits could get a lot of mileage.
Also just going back to Yarlick's post, I am also in love with FRS Black. I put him on my Kamen Rider shelf for, I dunno, a few days? Now he pretty much lives at my computer. I hemmed and hawed over the SS SHF but ultimately the broad shoulders and stories of the rubber shoulders have held me back thus far. I really just love Kamen Rider Black and kinda want every toy of him ever, from Souchaku Henshin to all three Figuarts. I actually went back to my FRS Rider shelf and am looking at my previous kits. I didn't put nearly as much effort and care into them as I did Black and it's making me want to go back. TaToBa in particular was a bit slapdash for me and I may dismantle him and try and clean up my work and add some more paint. These kits rule. |

I've definitely gone back and touched up my older FRS kits. Being able to breath new life into older kits feels really great. Sometimes it's just a matter of learning a new technique or finally figuring out a problem that stumped you.

I know a lot of you guys use nail polish to keep stickers down; can I ask what type you use? My FRS BLACK's power line stickers peel off so much and it's a very frustrating issue on an otherwise excellent kit

I know a lot of people use Mark setter for decals. Not sure how it does with stickers though. MS232 Mr. Mark Setter Bottle, GSI https://a.co/d/2oPb8QT

Whatever you use, you would want to test on something if possible. Like cut up an unused portion of the sticker sheet and stick it to similar plastic then cover it in nail polish to get an idea of how it looks/works. And I recommend using an ultrasoft paint brush instead of the one that comes with it. Ideally that brush gets cleaned with nail polish remover between uses. You basically just want to be careful of scratching the sticker details and nylon bristles can do that. Quote:

Yeah setter won't work for stickers because they're just paper. Setter will soak into them and ruin them. Nail Polish and certain clear coats are tick enough to not absorb into the paper between the adhesive and print.
Though in Black's case I would really recommend trying to paint the black lines in between the power strips. The plastic is specifically separated to make this as easy as possible and then you'd never have to worry about stickers again. |

Man, I picked up Pegasus Kuuga and I'm a little bummed. The parts separation is pretty weak, which isn't too bad since I always planend to paint it, but the bow gun being entirely black on its body sucks because colour-matching Bandai's gold is impossible. I'd rather have the whole gun gold and paint the black. Also mine has a really obvious imperfection on the forehead crest.
Also I ran out of my normal black and wanted to cover the seams on the legs, unlike, my Mighty Form Kuuga, and it's takign a long time to get a finish that matches the show's not-quite-matte undersuit. |
