That's still a lot of parts to make. I think they'll probably stick to main rider alternate forms and venture into secondary riders if anything. Any riders beyond secondary that aren't straight up pallette swaps won't see the light of day until all main heisei riders are done.

They probably will and of course, I don't expect them to make all of them at once. I say Ryuga, Knight, Zolda, and Ouja get first dibs and then the rest probably 2 per year whenever time allows them maybe. As for the pieces I do see your point since while for the rider model itself the only new mold would be mainly the head, chest armor, shoulders, buckle, and their weapons. But if they decide to include advent monsters into the mix, that is still a lot of parts to make like you said. With that in mind, best bet for Bandai I guess would be to give Knight, Zolda, and Ouja at the least advent monsters and the rest of them get the short end of the stick unless Bandai decides to fully commit and pump the volume to 11.

The thing with Ryuki riders too is that Ryuki comes with Dragredder, so if they wanna keep up mirror monsters they can't just re-use the suits. Even without them I definitely wouldn't think many Ryuki Riders would really be made at this rate; at best Knight and that's your lot.

The other thing you have to consider with the Den-O forms is that the way the release works, in a technical sense; it's just the normal Den-O release with different accessories -- Plat Form is the actual figure here, and the Sword/Rod/Ax/Gun parts are optional armour. That's a lot different from something like Knight or Zolda.

Which is why suppose they decide to go crazy and release all of them I can see them going that far up to Ryuga, Knight, Zolda, and Ouja, and the rest of them getting the short end of the stick. Would be hilarious if they include Volcancer for Scissors though. :lolol

Yeah, that is true. Certainly less work considering the base bodies for the riders all are different colors. The need to make new molds will be unneccessary but they will have to use navy, green, and black.

We'll be able to have a better idea of what other riders they might do once we get a look at the runners.

Den-O very clearly had runners separated out for his alternative forms.

After they finish all of the heisei riders, which would take a a while, I wonder what's next. Final forms? Secondaries? Reiwa riders? I wouldn't mind a Zero-One.

I hope Reiwa. And they get into the habit of producing a Figure-Rise kit of the currently airing Rider.

Also would not mind Showa.

Found this little gem in a South Louisiana GameStop, on sale, and I only went in on a whim!

Didn't expect to find something like this there.

Oh, awesome! That's an extremely good price for it too!!! This gonna be your first time doing a kit?

The only other Rider kit was from the Era of OOO and W when I got a W kit.

It turned out well then and I still have it.

Problem is I'm not all that good at this stuff. I had a hell of a time with a little model of the Defiant from DS9 from not long ago. Too many small pieces which have to fit just so.

I'm really taking a risk with this, but the fact that I saw Ex-Aid at a GameStop at that price was just too tempting to ignore!
