Kuuga is a bad example since he's had the third most number of forms of any Rider ever, only getting beat out by OOO and W.

Even Agito had 4 different riders, several alternate forms between the 3 main ones, a wide assortment of different weapons and a transforming bike. Not even including the usual henshin device.

Kamen Rider has been designed to sell toys for as long as I can remember, it's just that some shows are more subtle about it than others. That doesn't necessarily mean that the shows themselves are bad though.

You have to also remember that this show is 100% for kids, and kids love seeing all of the different alternate forms and collectibles. Just be glad Kamen Rider is mature enough to not insult their intelligence like many American kids shows.
