Regarding Figuarts Zi-O and Geiz's lack of weapons and my issues with Figure-Rise Zi-O and Geiz's proportions, I think I've come to a solution for both problems.

They're both the same size am I correct? If so, then just switch Figure-Rise Zi-O's and Geiz's weapons to their Figuarts versions. Problem solved for that little issue.

Now what about Figure-Rise Zi-O and Geiz? Ah, well here's what I've come up with. I'm not a big fan of early Figure-Rise Kamen Rider's proportions, and Zi-O and Geiz are no exceptions with their skinny abdomen sections and lanky forearms (thank goodness Bandai's getting the hang of proportions; Figure-Rise Den-O looks amazing!). However, my economical nature HATES wasting plastic I spent money on so I'm not throwing those away.

I've noticed that fanmade designs for alternate Kamen Rider forms are popular forms of appreciation for the franchise, so why not create a kitbash of Zi-O and Geiz with some other plastic models to create an original form? People have done it with Gunpla and other plastic models, why not deck out Zi-O and Geiz with some sweet looking armor and stuff? Maybe give them a buster sword or something? I dunno, possibilities are endless.

So that's my two cents; but the plan hinges around Figuarts Zi-O and Geiz being able to actually hold the Figure-Rise weapons, but I'm sure that's nothing sandpaper can't fix.

EDIT: Bit of a favor to ask (not mandatory), but if someone owns both Figuarts and Figure-Rise versions of Zi-O and/or Geiz, could you please upload a photo of the Figuarts holding the Figure-Rise weapons? Bit curious to see what it would look like. Thanks in advance.

EDIT 2: Nuts, I forgot that the Figuarts' weapon holding hands came with the P-Bandai bike. Um, does anyone know if it's possible to modify the Figure-Rise hands to fit into the Figuarts? Like, cut off the ball joints of the Figure-Rise hands and make a socket in it or something?
