I have a feeling this one is gonna be the best one yet. My ranking of all the main rider kits so far are:

1. Den-O - all around excellent, easy to paint, great accessories, plat form option, highly moddable.
2. Hibiki - beautiful plastic, solid construction, looks okay without paint
3. Decade - Great accessories, fun build, proportions feel a little off, some bad stickers.
4. Kuuga - Clean simple build, I wish the red was better, even if you've never painted a figure before, please consider painting the red gems on Kuuga's hardware!
5 - Ryuki - Slightly off shoulder mold, too many unavoidable stickers, Dragreder was nice, but not for me. Eyes are barely visible through visor.
6. W - Great implementation of splitting, but that green plastic is unbearable! Black panel liner goes a long way here.
7. Kabuto - really great proportions and accessories. Paint helps a lot, but stickers are adequate.
8. Faiz - Bonus points because the SHF is so old and outdated. Sticker heavy, but some of the stickers are better than paint.
9. Ex-Aid - Great build but tons of stickers and still requires some uncommon paint for belt and hands.
10. Zi-O - articulation is very limited. Missing some big color separation (the neck in particular), stickers don't match well/are too flat.
11. Build - Joints are loose, stickers don't blend in well or stick well. But it's the one that started it all! Go Build!

So you can clearly see how I put the later ones at the top- the Figure-Rise Standard line just gets better and better.
