All we can do with regard to Kiva is speculate. I know I can't let go of my curiosity about the topic: it's unlikely that there's no reason.

I'm also curious as to Accel's alternate head will work. (If it is, in fact, alternate and not some kind of light-up feature. I can't yet read Japanese.) They worked from serious magic with the eyes on Decade in particular, so maybe they've got a brilliant solution here.

Actually, what they haven't revealed about Accel may suggest a possibility about why we've heard nothing about Kiva: Bandai is probably still working out the logistics of cost-to-produce and accessories. If they wanted to do something with the fuestles the way they did with the W's Gaia Memories, that'd present a conundrum in terms of practicality, engineering, and a simple debate as to whether it's worth it. With W, I'm actually not sure it is, because as much as I like the Gaia Memories, on my copy, they fall out of the Driver for - as the saying goes - like, no reason.

Bandai may still be deciding whether Accel's Engine Blade will open, or if the Memory will be removable, specifically based on the feedback - or just the practical results - of W. From what I've read here, the Driver Memory fit problem isn't universal, but it may be common enough to give Bandai pause. After all, Shinkocchou Seihou is something of a prestige line. I imagine they don't want to release something that doesn't fit the brand they're putting forth, with is essentially an "ultimate" version of the figure.

I'll be buying Accel regardless. Hen... PATION!
