They did revamps of many other heroes in Kamen Rider as well, mostly creations of Ishinomori-san like Akumaiser 3 , Poitrine, Inazuman and Kikaider. I think only Kikaider got a movie, but they were all strong enough that I'd have watched new series of any of them. Wouldn't mind you sharing some pics of them.

Sure!  Let’s start with Akumaizer 3, though they did change them from being heroes into villains for the movie they appeared in.

However, Inazuman was a hero when he was revamped for the same crossover film:

As was Poitrine, who I loved the design of in that film:

Meanwhile, the Kikaider who showed up in Kamen Rider Gaim was the same one who appeared in the Kikaider: Reboot film.  I own that movie and though I did enjoy it, I actually enjoyed the Gaim episode more.

It also introduced a new version of Kikaider’s foe, Hakaider.

Oh and there was also a new version of Space Ironmen Kyodain in another Kamen Rider crossover film.

I really hope we get at least a few more of these kinds of cameos in movies in the future if not a V-Cinema for some of them.  I would love a modern version of say Kaiketsu Zubat who I feel could be a great protagonist in a more noir or darker anti-Crime series.
