I would straight up recommend just getting SHF Build. Due to both his original price and his multiple re-issues you can get him for basically the same price as the FRS without too much trouble, and while the height discrepancy would usually be an issue... well, FRS Build is actually slightly shorter than most FRSes and matches SHF height. You are basically just missing out on his weapon but in exchange getting a much more gorgeous figure with a wider ranger of articulation

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! Quote:

The idea that they may redo him is pretty tantalizing, though. I mean, they did it with Kabuto and Faiz to good effect. You guys have definitely scared me off Build for now (though I do still want Zi-O) I may get Kabuto instead, or one of the three I mentioned above. |

Painting up Zi-O wasn't that much trouble, the pink sections are mostly rectangular/large shapes that can be masked off easily.
But there are a lot of blank spots they didn't give you stickers for: the fingers, the neck, even the helmet is incomplete. The stickers for the visors looked terrible so I just oped to paint it in, and finally I had to add the black sections that are around the white clock face. |

Yeah, by far the biggest problem I had with Zi-O was his eyes. His belt is also really bad but I can live with that; his eyes though you really wanna do yourself

The arms straps and neck really beg for some silver paint.
And if you can get a tiny bit of paint on those Ride Watches, it makes the figure seem super detailed
