I'm not sure how well W's alternate forms sold, though, so my guess is that we'll see Skull first (different character with essentially the same body,) and the other forms if both W and Skull do well.

Come to think of it, recolored alternate forms aside, Wizard, Kiva, and Fourze wouldn't give them a whole of re-use potential outside of alternate forms for those Riders. By comparison, there's a good amount of parts-sharing for some other SS Riders: Kabuto/Gatack, Decade/Diend. I wonder if that's genuinely a consideration on Bandai's part, and if so, whether that makes other easy-character-reuse Riders like Ryuki and Den-O more likely.

I hope they don't plan on re-doing the Ryuki and Den-O lines. They're still very good, even when compared to the SS figures. Ryuki's figures are little bit short, but it's NBD.

I'd rather see them tackle OOO, Wizard, some more Kabuto figures (at least give us TheBee and The Hopper Bros), the rest of Hibiki and for the love of God, can we get Kiva already? With the completion of the Showa era, we're literally a single Rider away from having all of the main Riders.
