They aren't model kits, they just have stickers.

Why these lines have different articulation is pretty simple: Bandai's departments are divided by type of toy rather than franchise. The people working in Bandai Shokugan (candy toy) department have nothing to do with the department BCR is in (I think it's just general Bandai). One department saw a way to design it with a neck joint, the other did not. Simple as that.
