June 2019 Release, 6480
Seems like this is the only way people will be able to get weapons to go with Figuarts Zi-O and Geiz... https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-100013...952.1545276519 |

Thank goodness I don't really like the design of the weapons.
Also (place derisive comment about the lack of Ride Watch detail here). My eye is always drawn straight toward them. |

Well this sucks. At the very least Build used his bike often so it kinda makes sense to get the bikes as well. This is turning into a bad 'DLC' practice.

Screw this crap. I wish I could actually speak Japanese well enough to talk to them about this; it's a shitty business decision that needs to stop.
If the bikes don’t sell, don’t make them. Taking accessories from figures away only ensures that I won’t buy those either. |

Was enjoying Build enough to get the bike and complete the figure, but for Zi-O, I'm still not even sold on the figure alone. Definitely not gonna pay $70+ for a display piece and a couple of accessories

Which is great because I buy way too much Build-stuff still. Can't wait for the next round of figures; I need me some Evol. |

I hate two major trends with kamen riders lately. This and the leaning towards making the secondary rider exclusive. Especially with build and that later releases of the same character weren't exclusive.
One of the things that has always impressed me with Figuarts, and something I've used to sell people on the line, is their inclusion of accessories. Gokai Blue comes with the double sword and triple sword that was only used in one episode! And now you're telling me I have to buy the exclusive motorcycle to get even the main weapon used every episode? |

Count me among the "This trend needs to stop" crowd.
Granted, I can understand that the bikes are a necessary release because at this point if you didn't release them, people would complain about it. And I can also understand that them on their own don't sell nearly as well as they need to justify the price. That said, packing accessories that should come with the base figure it goes with just to guarantee the revenue is not the way to do it. They should have taken the attempt they made with Kamen Rider Garren and streamlined it. Give us a base figure with their weaponry and a DX release that packs the bike with them. People will buy that because you have plenty of collectors who want the bikes to go with their riders. Hell, make that DX set a premium release to boot so you don't have to worry about them taking up shelf space and getting discounted. Everyone wins, you make your money. |

I can understand that. I'm only buying Zi-O himself because he's cheap and I do want a complete main-Rider display at some point, but other than that I don’t see myself buying anything else Zi-O related.
