Those linked above are pretty good prices. If you can get the one on AmiAmi for 5000 yen, you should do so.

I try to limit myself to only getting figures of characters or designs I like. In some cases that works well. In others, not so much.

It quickly became apparent once I started watching Kamen Rider shows/buying Figuarts, that the threshold is very low for me to like a design or character.

So I'm pretty much collecting every Figuart from Kamen Rider Kuuga through Gaim. And I've already got a pretty large percentage of them.

Gills and Another Agito I'm pretty iffy on, at least until I watch Agito, at which time I assume I'll come to like them, but we'll see.
Hibiki is also iffy. I'm getting Hibiki so I have every main Rider, but beyond that, I'll have to see how the designs grab me as they are released, or until I watch the show.

I like having them displayed grouped by show, so you can see the common design elements within a show. Having each show on a shelf of a bookcase, you can then see the similarities/progressions of the designs between the different shows.

With other properties I'm not quite as big a fan of as I am Kamen Rider/Figuarts, I do better at limiting my tastes, only getting designs or characters I really like. But it can be hard work sometimes, to limit myself.
