Given that the scans show Revolve Change, but nothing that hasn't already been solicited, I wouldn't be wholly surprised if the line is effectively dead. My best guess is that given how far Rider candy toys have come in terms of quality, perhaps Bandai is finding that they sell better than the main-line gimmick figures. The Revolve Change figures are already kind of a bad match for the show, in which most Riders are one-half in Entry Form most of the time. The RC line has released only one Entry Form half-body, and you have to buy a bike in order to get it.

Depending on how the current products sell, I could imagine a Premium Bandai release or two (some Armed half-bodies and masks for the other Riders), but the scans imply that Bandai isn't committing to produce any more at this time. I'd have expected a Beat-Nago/Monster PunkJack as the next release since they're already showing off those forms, and they've definitely not teased that. Fever doesn't look like a good match for the Revolve Change line. I've no idea how the figures have been selling, but I'm guessing not as well as the roleplay toys.

If they DO implement Fever in the Revolve Change line, I suspect it'll come as half-bodies that connect to the Revolve Change figures, but don't share their revolving upper-lower-body-switch gimmick, meaning proper feet and hands.
