If Hunter Gamer Ex-Aid sells well, I'll be very pleased, but I'll also be surprised. If it doesn't do well, that'll lower the chances of other characters being released.

I suspect the purpose of the Dragon Hunter forms being released is so Bandai can maximize tooling efficiency, but it also means this'll be the third release for the same three Riders (the 3-pack, the individual releases, and the Dragon Hunter forms.) This is fantastic for people who're all-in on the line, but for those of us who collect individual characters, it's ominous, not just for the Ex-Aid line, but for current-Rider figures. I'm still anxious about the possibility that Rider Figuarts may slowly go the way of Sentai Figuarts.

I imagine the next Rider we'll see released will be Genm, but more than likely, it'll be his Level 2 form rather than Dangerous Zombie, since that'd be the lease expensive thing for them to produce.

^^This so much.
I agree this is where I question how well the line will do. Bandai does not want to give us lazer because he requires new retooling and that's costly to them. The reason why I said lazer he was in the show early so his bike form should have been reveal already.

Also I feel Kamen Rider line has gone the same way as the Sentai line already. Just look at the Gaim line there still like 10 Figuarts to release and who knows if they ever get release.
