Because there were no releases of these figures in Ex-Aid or Build’s main lines.

That’s one. His point still stands that really major players - like Cronus, base Cross-Z, and Evol were all skipped.

I can certainly see the argument that major characters previously skipped could have been a side goal... but, uh, also that you’d probably just make them if you’re making a legacy Build or Ex-Aid line. We were never not gonna get Evol or Cronus in this line whether the previous ones did it or not, and even then major figures like Brave Legacy and Mad Rogue were still skipped.

Either way I hardly see “filling in gaps” being the goal of a whole line in an entirely new scale that tried to be as comprehensive as possible, and hardly think that’s the reason we’re not seeing any more. I just find it a strange argument that LVUR not having Cronus is why the RKF legend line existed.

There were more character/form re-releases than "gap-fillers"

I don't...see what you're getting at? Just because RKF ended up releasing figures that never saw the light of day in their respective gimmick lines doesn't mean RKF existed to fill in blanks, which, by the way, makes absolutely zero sense still lol. They're completely different lines and not even in the same scale, so how exactly, in what capacity, does RKF fill in any gaps? Is SHF "filling in the blanks" too? They released a lot of figures that the gimmick lines never saw, either.

I'm just so confused as to why you believe that. Like previously stated, we got SO many more figures that already existed in a different line. They didn't call the subline "Legend Rider Series" for nothing. Did it ever occur to you, that at the rate they were churning our Legend Riders at the time, they were going to release those figures regardless of what the gimmick lines skipped?

And? We know they were skipped, and that's mutually exclusive from what RKF has been doing. His point is that RKF's subline, the Legend Rider Series, existed primarily to give us what the gimmick lines missed, which makes no sense. We have plenty of suits and forms that both lines covered, but also missed.

News from the CSM blog concerning the Ankokuken Kurayami.

To summarise, the sword corrupts Wonder Ridebooks, by adding “Jaaku” to the start of their name, so Brave Dragon becomes Jaaku Brave Dragon.

And if a Legend Ridebook is scanned, it gets read as that Rider’s enemies (eg. Another Rider, Magia, Grongi).

It's cool that the Legend Rider ones say the names of their enemies!

I’m really curious what the Calibur Driver will do for Decade, since that season didn’t have a new unique set of kaijin... Super Shocker?
