Kuuga does. He comes with holding hands. (or at least Rising Mighty does because that's the one I have)

and since they're full plastic figures rather than kits they're heavier than the bike will be designed to handle.

Oh, damn; I'm very happy to be proven wrong! Are there any balancing issues? Which hands are those; does normal Mighty come with them?

It's quite top-heavy so I'd want to be careful getting it into an action pose but with a couple of tamashii-style stands it should be stable enough.
This is the Mighty Form (Decade Ver) which comes with the same set of hands as the original release. I'm using the less open set of relaxed hands - second from top/third from bottom in this picture (not mine): They aren't dedicated holding hands but as long as you're not posing it upside-down they'll do well enough. |

Fantastic, thank you!! I was thinking I'd have to make do with FRS Rising Mighty on mine but knowing this can work makes me EXTREMELY happy

I'm still deciding whether or not to buy another base form Kuuga to go on it along with my Rising and Amazing Mightys... |

Buy one so you can have a separation between Godai and Onodera

Yup, it's a little oversized but not bad. Certainly a worthy stand-in. |

Built Fourze today and he's pretty good but those orange stickers are just a mess. They don't really adhere and they crease on the chest right at the center. There's orange on the runner, why couldn't these be separate pieces? Yeah it wouldn't be the exact shade but it'd be close enough for most straight-builders and anyone who paints will just have an easier time without having to mask.
I'm getting tired of Bandai's constant corner cutting. I get things are tighter but I'd honestly pay another 300-500y if it meant a better quality kit. The drill module has big, hideous stickers on the little silver section that easily could've been one in-set part. No stickers are included to back the eyes and they look really weird without them, so I ended up painting the white sections underneath silver. Aside from those examples the parts separation is actually fantastic with the black, silver, and white all being separate parts (on the main body) with no stickers except for the arm pits. It actually makes the lack of orange for the stripes stand out that much more. I also feel like the construction overall isn't quite as good as, say, Agito. The arms are double-jointed but the design really nerfs the lower joint, the hands fall off quite easily and the stalk for the ball joint is quite long and obvious, and while I got the antennae in without issue I've heard more than a few people have broken theirs. So yeah, good kit but frustrating in a lot of ways. The negatives aren't detriments so much as just odd drawbacks that only materialize in contrast to the rest of the kit being genuinely fantastic quality. There's even a gloss finish on the "hard" parts of the suit compared to the ones meant to represent fabric, complete with a gloss black runner just for the face alone! And of course all tat pre-painted silver. Makes me excited and worried for OOO, since I know a lot of details will be stickers just from the sheer number of lines on that suit. I'm actually thinking o getting Build and Zi-O as my next kits so I can get the "old" ones out of the way. Build in particular needs to be painted, and Zi-O uses stickers for all the solid pink, so those are both going to be pretty involved when I eventually get to them. |

Yeah Build and Zi-O are both pretty bad by today's standard. I wish the price of them would lower to match. They just don't compare to the new ones. I would honestly hold off on Build as long as you can and hope for a remake. Out of my collection of FRS Kamen Riders, he is the most unstable and has the weakest joints.
Regarding Fourze, those chest stickers definitely bring the kit down. They are just so obvious. I regret not painting them, but was not looking forward to attempting to paint the same matching colors to black and white parts. That's a nightmare. OOOs is supposed to come pre-painted, but there's only so much they can do, so I'm hopeful, but not holding my breath. Fingers crossed!
