It's a bit of a strange choice tbh, especially considering the other new part for Primitive Dragon is over in one of the Remix boxes.
|
Yeah that's why I was so confused.
Would anyone here want the figure if I end up grabbing it? I'll have to get both boxes for it to be complete. |
Gokai Red Zenkai Mode. As soon as I got YU-DO Zenkaiger 2, I took an extra Twokaiser to make a Gokai Red because why would they make new candy toys of the Gokaigers...hindsight's 20/20, y'all (couldn't be happier those are getting made by the way). I was going to do new shoulder pads (Zenkai Red's look great on this) and weapons, but once it was clear Shodo was happening, I decided to just wrap it up. Might revisit this one day and make a different color out of it.

Everything except the helmet and shoulder armor is painted. I might go back and paint the hands to match my red, but this is more or less finished. https://i.imgur.com/zI8Ii9J.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0cHNYqR.jpg And the two together. https://i.imgur.com/Jd0Lr0A.jpg |
I'm in love with that Gokai Red! It's a really creative idea!

BLADE RAIDER, YOU GENIUS. You've done it again. :rock:
|
BBTS has the Zyuranger Shodo set listed up for pre-orders. They've listed it as MMPR though, and nothing looks altered.

In all the excitement during Tamashii, the candy blog revealed Mammoth Vice will be part of by3
https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1114222731.jpg No reveal yet for the remix adaptor parts, but there are still two more boxes left to be reviewed https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1114222809.jpg |
They also done a mini-tour of the factories; giving us a bit of an insight into how these guys are made! Always cool to see that stuff; especially when they're highlighting how it's a by-hand construction rather than automation
|
Interestingly, SO-DO Revice by7 was listed on BBTS. Has that been shown?
Ah I dream of the day we get an accessible way to acquire Gashapon items in the west. |
They're probably just going off of 1999 listings. All we know is that it exists.

SHODO SUPER Gokaiger!! This is coming in two sets releasing and going up for pre-order simultaneously; with the base 5 Gokaigers in one set for 8250 Yen, and then a second set for 5500 yen containing Gokai Silver, his Gold Mode parts, and the Cross Armour parts from Ten Gokaiger! There's a bunch of extras included, most notably Mobirates with key-holding hands, the Gokai Galleon Buster and Navi!
(Also note that the Gokai Silver here is a pre-production sample; they plan to mold him in a much shinier silver) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFCJ4BGV...pg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFCKu2LV...pg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFCLqo7U...pg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFCMEhUU...pg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFCMgXfV...pg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFCNY4RV...pg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFCNkfDU...pg&name=medium |
This week, the first reveal for by4 is Giff Junior. This figure will probably be worth your while since it appears pretty regularly so far in the series
https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1124143329.jpg Pretty few stickers this time around https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1124160443.jpg https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1124143323.jpg The blog also uploaded high-res images of the by2 remix instructions, in case they were too difficult to read from the cardboard box |
They also note that this is also the earliest they've ever done the grunt in a SO-DO series, which is pretty fun! It's nice to see that despite how much is needed to cover the Remixes, it's not getting in the way of great stuff like this
|
Those guys are neat but I really loved Saber's mooks just because they had no stickers. Made them more satisfying to army build.
|
I can't wait for a Jeanne SO-DO and hopefully a Lovekov too.
I still haven't been able to acquire a SODO Revice so maybe a Jeanne release will motivate me enough to get a larger worthwhile order in with Zenmarket. |
This week on the So-Do blog, we get a full layout of By3. Apart from the expected adaptor pieces for the Mammoth remix, there are new accessories for past figures including:
- Ohinbuster w/ attached Vistamp (both in axe mode and gun mode) - Angled weapon holding hands for Vice - Ostdelhammer - Revicelasher ( the combined form of the hammer and axe ) - New open right hand for Revi to make his signature pose - Soles for Revi and Vice for rider kick posing - Open hands for Demons - 1 storage box https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFzgpNWV...jpg&name=small You can see from the layout how each weapon is distributed. Not everything is packed in the accessory set https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1201154420.png |
We also got a first look at the mail away exclusive Demon Vice. It's an unpainted sample, but the blog also confirmed it won't include extra hands or even a stand. Later waves will apparently include an extra stand to make up for it. The first phase of the mail away campaign has ended, so the first batch should come out soon

This week's blog announces a new line: Converge Motion. Very similar to Converge, only now the figures are sculpted in more dynamic action poses.
The first wave consists of -Kuuga Mighty Form -Kuuga Rising Mighty -W Cyclone Joker -Eternal -Zero-One Rising Hopper -Zero-Two -1 secret figure https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1208131209.jpg https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1208131253.jpg https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1208131342.jpg Finally, a "big project" related to this new line will be revealed next month |
Those looks fantastic, but I have neither space nor money to start collecting another candy toy line. One other fun thing from today's blog, new Mandela effect dropped. We’re now in the timeline where Kamen Rider W through Wizard aired in the 90s I guess

Remember that time Fourze and Wizard fought a giant Shadow Moon? Good times.

I recently started getting Shodo figures, and I'm curious/confused about something. The difference between So-Do and Shodo is pretty obvious, but what's the difference between Shodo-O and Shodo-X? So far I've gotten two boxes of each, and the main differences seems to be over all box size/number of units or however you want to state it, and the two X series had bikes included. So is the difference in classification just the presence or absence of bikes, or other large accessories, as well as number of figures, or is it something else?

Quote:
I believe they do contain a little more and have a bit more paint and hence cost more as you've said, but yeah, basically the exact same thing |
The difference is theming mostly and bit of budget.
The line started as ShodoVS. The theme of that was Versus of course with each wave including Riders AND Villains. They started with Showa Riders and monsters. Quickly adding troopers and Heisei stuff. Line was refreshed into Shodo-X. Shodo-X replaces the villains and troopers with Rider Machines, the bikes and mecha. I believe X is meant to "cross" (how X is pronounced in Japan) because Rider Machines are in 2 boxes and needed to be crossed or combined to make it. This also allowed them to do remakes of past figures. Anyways, the Rider Machines and accessory/form changes take up so much space in the waves that there wasn't room for much else other then the main hero's stuff. There was a lot of demand for the everything else that X just wasn't making. So enters Shodo-O, or Outsider. This marks the return of villains, troopers, rivals, etc. Basically no main Riders and and only some secondaries if they were an antagonists for a while. Aside from theme, O does cost a little more than X, but they come with little more per box to. Like Kabuto's weapons were in an accessory box in X while Dark Kabuto's weapons just came with the figure in O. That kind of stuff. |
Cool, thanks for the info, guys! I hadn't really thought about it, but yeah I did notice the difference in accessory allocation between the O and X sets.
I initially started picking up a few sets to get characters I didn't have in Figuarts form, like Grease, Blood Stalk, & Wild Chalice. But I really like them other than them being like RKF figures in not having back paint, so I'm probably getting a lot more. |
How are the new weapon holding hands on the Ryuki and Gaim lines? Do they eventually loosen?
To be completely honest I LOVE the original 3mm holes and weapon pegs because the rotation allows you to pull off poses that even Figuarts would never be able to achieve. |

https://i.imgur.com/5YtFaFT.jpg As for Ryuki, the holding hand isn't the strongest holding hand to begin with but I haven't noticed any loosening, though I don't really use it that much. A 3mm accessory would not fit in it. |
Going back to the discussion from earlier today - just opened up Wild Chalice, and wow. The amount/quality of stuff he comes with compared to say, Den-O or Zeronos really is crazy.
|
Right?? It's really good. Even with a smaller amount of stuff like Cronus it's just nice that they come with all their stuff rather than requiring an extra accessory box

Finally finished a SO-DO custom I've been working on for a while, Kamen Rider Al!
https://i.imgur.com/u3sR1F0.png https://i.imgur.com/jToGtum.png Parts: Espada Golden Alangina: Head, neck, back, hip, driver, left side, left shoulder pad, feet, sword Saber Dragon Bremen: Right side and shoulder, chest Ryugen Yomi: Arms Gaim Kiwami: Hands Ninja Player: Legs Ex-Aid: Right shoulder pad https://i.imgur.com/CyFVDav.png https://i.imgur.com/YT4VU2m.png https://i.imgur.com/cGs5LdW.png Based on Aladdin's street urchin look with elements of the Genie added in. The Wonder Ride Books are now based on the VHS tapes of the 3 Aladdin movies. I would've liked a scimitar for the sword, but didn't have a good option. https://i.imgur.com/ZyghOHI.png https://i.imgur.com/v5ylVgy.png https://i.imgur.com/IALm9H2.png The cape comes off to become the magic carpet. The old Mattel magic carpet toy scales quite well here, I just wish my old toy was in better condition for this. https://i.imgur.com/eFE2lY3.png "Genie, I wish to have Phenomenal Cosmic Power!" https://i.imgur.com/6dt3XjP.png A surprise form change using Espada's Hedgehog chest piece. Gives him a spiky Genie face on his chest. https://i.imgur.com/QQvjmXv.png https://i.imgur.com/ZFeNBnO.png All the painted hands and accessories, plus what it looks like with the torso apart. https://i.imgur.com/ZAdZE8g.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rsbOyWu.png Finally some group shots. First is with G1-R, T-Rider, and Black Waltz which are other recent OC Riders of mine. Second is with an old custom of Kamen Rider Zade, who's based on Jasmine and made out of Arms Action parts. https://i.imgur.com/lJZ4QVT.png https://i.imgur.com/jzY6miH.jpg |
That is an INCREDIBLY cute and fun custom, nice!!
|
Looks fantastic Blade!
Also I want a whitewizard/sorcerer candy fig, I hope we get one in outsiders |
I feel White Wizard is pretty likely!

Everyone's favourite Shinkenger is here!! Solomon is a pretty simple no-surprises figure but he looks like a great one; absolutely loving his details. We've also got Revi and Vice in their Kamakiri Genome forms! Nothing on their Remix yet, but they also come with parts to go under the hands to make the OhinBuster50's gun mode and OsutoderuHammer50 from last wave look a bit more accurate, like Saber's sword extenders. All three of these figures will be in By4 along with Giff Junior! https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1215141301.jpg https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1215161035.jpg https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1218175843.jpg https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...1218175823.jpg |
Thanks all!
Yeah, I'm sure Shodo-O will make some Wizard stuff soon, though hoping for Mage myself. |

I'm talking about the trooper type Mage, that's O's bread and butter right there.
|
The trooper type also happens to be the suit used by the best Wizard character, so I'd be down!
