I'm glad you're excited, and there's nothing wrong with being so, but some of us are dismayed. We're getting different forms of the existing three Riders rather than Dangerous Zombie Genm, Paradox, or Lazer, and this doesn't bode well for seeing those characters. If Hunter Gamer Ex-Aid sells well, I'll be very pleased, but I'll also be surprised. If it doesn't do well, that'll lower the chances of other characters being released.

I suspect the purpose of the Dragon Hunter forms being released is so Bandai can maximize tooling efficiency, but it also means this'll be the third release for the same three Riders (the 3-pack, the individual releases, and the Dragon Hunter forms.) This is fantastic for people who're all-in on the line, but for those of us who collect individual characters, it's ominous, not just for the Ex-Aid line, but for current-Rider figures. I'm still anxious about the possibility that Rider Figuarts may slowly go the way of Sentai Figuarts.

I imagine the next Rider we'll see released will be Genm, but more than likely, it'll be his Level 2 form rather than Dangerous Zombie, since that'd be the lease expensive thing for them to produce.
