It's no less applicable. It looks horrible on every single Zi-O release.

And it's not even that they're unpainted! There's a paint application there to differentiate the faceplate and the back of the Ride Watch. Without an image, though, it's just glaring in a way I don't usually associate with Figuarts. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any modern Rider Figuarts that have done something so cheap-looking with the Driver. On the Gaim Figuarts, you had the tiny images on the Lock Seeds. The Ex-Aid Gashats didn't have an image on them, but it wasn't particularly obvious while they were seated in the Gamer Driver.

The figures otherwise have the tiny details I associate with Figuarts: the edges of the Build Armor shoulderpads, for instance, or the painted fingertips of both figures. Maybe it's that the Ride Watches constitute a lot of front-facing surface, and the solid color is glaring?
