There's been quite a few, actually. Cake, five or so Lost bottles, the Raw Rabbit bottle, Empty bottle...Ghost also had Legend Rider Eyecons around wave 5 or 6. Some of those were shared with or came first in the SG line, but they remain separate from the mainline DX series.

And, looking beyond Rider, the Kyutama series from Kyuranger was full of heaps and heaps of Gashapon and/or SG-exclusive toys from day one. In that case as with RideWatches, my guess is that the reason is simply that they have a lot of stuff to go through and starting early helps them get through all that faster.
