First of all, you're posting in the gallery thread for a minipla set. Had you clarified you were even talking about DX's in your initial post then maybe some confusion could have been saved eh? Because literally your ENTIRE post refers to the traits of minipla. DX's are not "cast" in one color. Model kits are.
But before you start assuming how DX repaints work remember a few things. By the time the premium (usually black) repaint comes out, the series is over or nearly is. They're typically released as premiums and produced in smaller numbers, often only available for order on the Bandai Premium shops or at special store locations, and not available to normal retailers. Comparing a BOA action figure, to a much larger and fully functional DX robo is a false analogy. The two couldn't be more dissimilar.
The Sigma Project Max Victory Robo is the exact same situation. It was an exclusive, not sold at normal retail, done up in a special one off color scheme from a single episode of the show. And it was far more expensive than the minipla set of the time was. Yes it was used in show, once. This form of Kyoryuzin however appeared multiple times through out the course of Kyoryuger. If anything it has more reason to have been produced. Would you be more upset if it had been a DX repaint instead?
What you personally deem "fun" for candy toys literally has nothing to do with how & why their produced either. You don't like labels and want to paint, that's great. But that's not the point of this set. That's why it's a premium exclusive and not a general retail release. The entire point of this set is building it as is to represent the Lightning Brave Finish. Hence the clear colors to give it the energy glow effect. Like it or not this is how it should look.
Bandai may tend release these things (DX & Minipla) at the tail ends of lines to a make a few extra dollars. But nobodies forcing anyone to buy it. You may not understand the point of it's existence or the desire to own, but obviously a ton of people do or it wouldn't exist. So when stating an opinion of something like this, try to express it in a manner that makes sense (i.e. clarify what you're actually talking about). Dismissing the very existence of something like this is kind of a smack in the face to the user who was kind enough to buy this set just to share images with the community.
