Though now I feel like the quality of the kits has really gone up and they can't get away with that as much anymore.

I mean Faiz has everything you need to make Axel Form, you just have to paint it, so you're right on the money.

Plus depending on how they gate these kits, I could see alt forms and other Riders be easy. Agito uses Kuuga parts, and Decade is suspiciously gated with all the Decade-specific parts on their own runners, with much to the shared parts between him and Diend on the same runner. Ryuki also had the majority of the base suit on a runner with obvious gates where the Ryuki-specific parts were, meaning a retool into Knight is highly possible.

In fact I notice a lot of these kits have gated-off sections on the eyes and such. I think there may be "master eye moulds" that are selectively gated for whatever Rider they need, with obvious blunted protrusions leading nowhere on the runners.

I hope Bandai doesn't waste this opportunity. This line could be a fantastic alternative to the more expensive and hard-to-find Figuarts, especially of older characters. (model kits tend to be produce din larger numbers and be reprinted, unlike Figuarts)
