I suspect they are just "safe bets" for testing a new line out. They have reliable popularity and sales. Kabuto already had some engineering from the original Figure-rise line and Faiz was voted the #1 series in a Japanese poll from 2018 https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2018/09...-rider-series/

They were among the earliest releases in the Shodo series, and CSM belt line, which makes me think they are just flatly popular. If Hiro Mizushima wasn't blacklisted by Toei, I bet we'd see as much of him as we see Kento Handa in the crossover movies.

They are also just really good looking suits!
