Given what they've done with Kuuga, I wouldn't be surprised. In fact, Bandai appears to be basing at least some of their Shinkocchou Seihou decisions on what they can reuse from existing releases, which may be why we're not seeing more diversity. I'm not sure how well W's alternate forms sold, though, so my guess is that we'll see Skull first (different character with essentially the same body,) and the other forms if both W and Skull do well.

Come to think of it, recolored alternate forms aside, Wizard, Kiva, and Fourze wouldn't give them a whole of re-use potential outside of alternate forms for those Riders. By comparison, there's a good amount of parts-sharing for some other SS Riders: Kabuto/Gatack, Decade/Diend. I wonder if that's genuinely a consideration on Bandai's part, and if so, whether that makes other easy-character-reuse Riders like Ryuki and Den-O more likely.
