Pick a character design you like - that is the most important of all.

My favs are:
- Any of the Iron Man suits. Awesome sculpt, paint, tons of effects parts

- Kamen Rider Ryuki or Knight They come with SO many accessories its insane. Ryuki and Knight come with their Contract Monsters. All of the Ryuki figs also come with their own stands. Completing this series is gonna be impossibly expensive but those two are awesome stand alone if you can find them

- Faiz Blaster. Aesthetically pleasing, lots of accessories. Can be had for cheap. Got mine on sale at HLJ

- Pretty much all of the Kamen Rider Gaim figures. I love the show, love the aesthetic, the mold shared across the line is quite good. KachiDoki Arms is probably the best SHF KR release of all time for me, i love that suit

- Kamen Rider Blade. This is the absolute best version of the SHF mold short of the "Renewal" series (premium releases, pricier than normal). The suit designs aren't my favorites but the mold is that damn good. Paint, articulation, sculpt, there is no better, and for Blade himself you get a load of accessories (see a theme? more accessories more fun)

- Hibiki Renewal. Ungodly purple paint job, the top of the line SHF body used only for the renewal series, tons of flame accessories, special premium packaging. This is the best of the best price be damned.

Offtopic but related? I was hugely disappointed with the Tiger and Bunny releases. For a show that literally had S.H. Figuarts as a fictional sponsor, the releases are shockingly limited in their articulation. It's like they didn't think through how the suit armor should be arranged. Cool accessories though.
