I get that a lot of them rarely use their bikes if at all, but to me the figure feels incomplete without one. I'd like to have the proper bike for every one of my riders if possible. Selling them in 2-pack is the ideal strategy to me.

I feel that the option should be made available, but not at the expense of collectors who only want the characters, and not the bikes. I'd probably get all of the bikes if I had the funds to do so, but at the moment, I have to be picky choosy about who gets a bike and who doesn't. I'd probably get all the bikes for Blade if only because Garren already comes with his and it's just awkward if he's the only one with one. After that, it'd be something reserved for my favorite characters, and probably the Showa riders.

I feel it's the same situation with the Contract Beasts. I'd argue that Ryuki, Knight, Zolda, Ouja, and Imperer are all Riders who should come with their Contract Beasts because they're important to each of those characters, but financially, it's better for me that I can drop the $30 on Ouja now then get the Genocider set at a later date, so that way I don't have to drop that much money all at once (which is what I did; purchased Ouja way back in 2012 and didn't get Genocider until 2 months ago).

I do think there should be the option for those that want to get the Rider + Bike and/or Contract Beast and other relevant accessory though. But I don't know how profitable it'd be in the end.

Yup, it sucks waiting for Femme's release tbh. Despite how crap the Figma may be, I'm almost tempted to get Siren because once Imperer gets in, it's going to feel weird knowing that my Ryuki collection is literally one Rider away from completion.
