Here's the element that confuses me: Accel. He shares basically no parts with W (unless I remembering poorly.) I can't figure out what makes him a better-guaranteed Shinkocchou Seihou figure than, say, Kamen Rider Den-O. Filling in a line before moving on, maybe?

Come to think of it, why PunchHopper and KickHopper instead of TheBee or Sasword? I'm not quite to the Hoppers' introduction on the series, but from others' comments, it sounds like they're relatively tertiary to the plot, whereas TheBee debuted almost immediately.

Your whole post is great, by the way.

This is puzzling to me, as well. I'd have expected Faiz or OOO or something by now. Accel, PunchHopper, and KickHopper are all welcome, but I'd have expected to hear something about a main Rider by now. Engineering challenges, maybe?
