I expect most of the Blade riders to be normal releases since there are so few forms to spam. I expect all Jack forms and Wild Chalice to be exclusive.

I think that might be wishful thinking for such an old show. Even Den-o's Axe form is an exclusive and Den-o was ridiculously popular.

The thing is, Den-O's Axe Form is just an alternate form of Kamen Rider Den-O.

Lately I think that Bandai decided to make Kamen Rider's alternate forms as an exclusive because they're not as popular as the main form. The most recent example is the KR Wizard. I was actually surprised to see that the alternate forms are all exclusive.

Some of the upgrade forms, however (i.e. Climax Form), are still popular enough for a general release.

KR Blade series have 4 main TV Riders + 3 movie Riders & have the least amount of forms. Those 4 main TV Riders are very popular, and I think they are an instant general release.

To sum it up:
If it's a different Rider that's popular, it's a general release.
If it's an alternate form or less popular Rider, it's an exclusive.

You need to get the new Akiba Blue and Akiba Yellow to have the DairenBomber! You would think the parts would be with Ryuuranger and Kibaranger. Oh well...they gotta some how get people to buy the new figures.

Good thing I don't have SHF AkibaBlue or AkibaYellow yet since I didn't care at the time and only got AkibaRed so as to have at least one item from Akibaranger.

I started watching Akibaranger Season 2 because I felt like I had to or I'd fall behind and feel like I'm living under a rock but ended up really liking it. Also really like the new AkibaBlue. Definitely going to be getting these ones now. I hope they will get heavily discounted later on.
 
Ok after watching the new episode...you can't have Kyoryu Red without Kyoryu Gold...

Both of them complement and complete each other.
 
I'm saying that "Alternate Form" doesn't necessarily mean it'll be exclusive. Lord only knows what Bandai's rationale is for pickign what's exclusive and what's not. Maybe this is how:


The reason I'm pointing out Kiva is because he's only had the Emperor form released, not the normal form (Unlike Den-O, who just got Sword form released in Figuarts---and that cheeses me off seeing I have a collection of Souchaku Henshin Den-Os!)
 
Really? I think it's fairly simple to see what they're doing...

Fourze's alternate forms probably sold poorly, so in order to save money, Bandai is now producing Wizard's alternates made-to-order. Infinity style will definitely be regular release, as will Blade King form, the other Riders and their forms will depend on character popularity. The same will be true for Sailor Moon, most likely.
