Even just a few more hands would go a long way in making this feel like a better release.

On the other hand, I'm still completely baffled by the fact that such a high-end line like S.H Figuarts doesn't have stands included with every figure either. Especially when I consider that the flying kick is the most Rider-like action there is, and one you simply cannot replicate with a figure without a stand...It's really confusing to me. But I'm new to this, so probably my opinion doesn't mean much in these cases.

Figmas are generally smaller and more expensive. They sometimes include more accessories, but only when it makes sense for the character. There are plenty of expensive Figma releases that include nothing more than a few hands, just as there are plenty of Figuarts that come with a boat load of stuff that wasn't really necessary. It just depends on the release.

This being a webshop exclusive that likely isn't going to appeal to anyone besides really hardcore Drive fans, they probably just didn't think anything else was needed. Exclusives are limited releases for a reason and making unique effect parts or whatever for them wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. Including basic stands with everything might be nice, but I'm sure we'd just be blaming the rising prices of figures on that.
