Never thought I'd have all the toys to do this in the same scale, but here we are!
https://i.imgur.com/jqa6rOP.jpg |
And we got a SHODO-X 13 reveal -- it's a Den-O wave!! This is the guy's first entry into SHODO at all, and is in fact the only of the Phase 1 Heisei Riders to have never been done; so this is actually pretty momentous!
The wave includes Sword Form, Plat Form, Zeronos, Zeronos Zero Form and the Den-Bird; and the accessory pack has both all the weapons you'd want for those, as well as parts to recreate Sword Form's finishers. Pretty solid wave all around! It's set for a September release, with pre-orders to open Thursday https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0512181558.jpg https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0512184654.jpg https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0512190140.jpg https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0512191025.jpg https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0512191342.jpg https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0512191728.jpg |
The blog also shared some cool backdrops they use for their photoshoots, which are available to download
https://thewonder.it/bukatsu/gallery/index/?sort=5 There's a drop down menu that has Ultraman and Gundam backdrops, including some paper craft for buildings and rooftops |
UNDERPASS! They didn't even need to include the other 58 options. There's no more iconic Kamen Rider location they could've given us.
|
Oh, and since they just put Zeronos in X and Den-O doesn't have any villainous riders in-series (maybe we'll get Gaoh??), I think we can expect the next SHODO-O wave to be another Ex-Aid and Build one. Bring on Rogue!
|
I think Nega Den-O is likely for Shodo-O. Maybe they could put the Imagin in there since they're *technically* monsters.

I was hoping the Tree Lined Slope would be one of the included backgrounds.
https://i.imgur.com/s8VPnON.jpg Cloudy Sky Rock was my favorite though. |
Selection for Shodo-X 12 is up, it has two RabbitTanks, Two Hazards, and two accessory sets. I was expecting two Cross-Zs, but I suppose this allows to display more of the head options. Anyone want a Build and accessory set when I get around to buying it (UK only)?

Ah jeez. I'm watching a review right now, and... maybe I should have expected this in retrospect, but. Right out the box the elongated parts of the eyes did Not Go Well!
https://i.imgur.com/UTjyEq8.png https://i.imgur.com/Iy46bL9.png It seems to be case by case (their Hazard seems fine?), but obviously this is a bit of a design flaw and it's very sad to see. I really wish there was a way they could have rectified this somehow. |

Ah yes this is definitely a common issue with Shodo-X. The spikier the design, the higher the chance. Heck, my Shodo-X Cyclone (yes the bike) has bent handle bars that I just cannot correct.
This also happens with Converge figures but I've been able to fix those with hot water. |
Is it easy to fix, then?

Also am I the only one who would pay extra to have the backs of So-do and Shodo have paint and stickers? |

A heat gun also works for some plastics. But I haven't had much success using either tactic for Shodo figures. I think sometimes the part is just too thin and you definitely don't want to keep trying it else it will just weaken the part. Quote:
But hey I actually think it might happen. The Minipla line started out very barebones and now they are some of the best representations of their figures available anywhere --- but this definitely comes at a cost; the rebranded Shokugan Modeling Project "candy toys" are nearly $100 for each kit. SO-DO figures have been improving a lot every year in paint apps and articulation and I could see the SO-DO Chronicle line doing more to cover the backs. In fact, SO-DO Gaim was surprisingly covered. My dream upgrade would actually be compound eyes, but that would definitely never happen. |

Stickered up So-Do Saikou’s two forms last night. Saikou Shadow was nearly fully painted already, but X-Swordsman took a lot of work. I also kind of put his sword sticker on backwards and ripped it getting it off, but that’s on the side I’ve posed away from the camera, so it might as well not exist. And that's it for Saber content in this wave of the Kamen Rider Saber toyline! Because what everyone really wants instead of Primative/Elemental Dragon or Sabela and Durandal is a kitbash movie Rider from Zero-One and whatever the hell was going on in Zi-O vs Decade! The two accessory packs look pretty cool though, can't wait to sticker those. (I cannot believe that the Shinkenger logo is on a Kamen Rider toy in 2021) EDIT: There were always pictures here, I never accidentally hit post before I'm finished. Trust me |

All my Zero-One So-Do is stored away, so I can't check right now, but I feel like in Zero-One the backs had more paint than the do in Saber. Now we don't even get stickers for the full belt loop to the back like we used to. Seems to be an unfortunate cost of the front of the figures having drastically more paint than in Zero-One. (Unless if I'm totally misremembering and Zero-One was just as bad, in which case the increase in paint is just another part of G-San's ongoing war against Bandai's budget regulations)
|
I don't own any SO-DO but I really like painting so I wouldn't mind if the back's not painted.
Of course that's probably just me. |

Speaking of painting backs, when I got MBJR I decided to attempt to paint the chest because I didn't like the look of the sticker and it seemed like a fun. Ended up painting the whole back to. There's more I could paint, but I used the rest of the stickers and I don't want to peel them right now.
https://i.imgur.com/ssAoX2M.jpg Now if I could just get a Zero-One pointing hand in purple and Horobi's sword for it. |
Oooh my gosh that's beautiful. That's perfect!! Great job!

AmiAmi just put up pre-orders for YU-DO Zenkaiger Wave 2; and while no specifics are confirmed yet it seems to be the same price as Wave 1 and has 9 types!!
https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=GOODS-04128057 That last part is REALLY surprising to me because you've gotta consider what would be in this. The base Zenkaigers needed extra boxes because three of their members are just that bulky, but this time around? TwoKaiser should only really need the one box; and so would theoretical Stacaesar, Zenkai Red and mooks (plus the accessory pack). I imagine they'd also do Twokaiser's Ohran and Shinken forms here whichever way they do it would still leave boxes left over. I hope I'm not setting myself up for a fall here because right now the confirmation of that many types has me very excited... |
SHODO-X wave 13 will be this
Den-O Sword Form Den-O Plat Form Machine Denbird A-SIDE Machine Denbird B-SIDE Zeronos Altair Form Zeronos Zero Form Expansion parts set https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/produ...627685000.html https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/publi...7ldcGafEw5.jpg What's great is that if you get both Zeronos figures you can probably justify it by saying the Zero form is Yuuto and the Altair form is Sakurai. What sucks is that no broom. Seriously, WHY ARE YOU IGNORING THE BROOM BANDAI. |
What that image doesn't show you as well is that the expansion set has some neat stuff; like Momotaros' sword for Plat Form (not the den-gasher, as in the actual sword Momotaros uses in imagin form), and effect pieces for MY HISSATSU ATTACK PART FIVE

My YU-DO Zenkaigers just got paid for, so I assume we'll be seeing the blog tonight
|
Tonight's blog was... just an early review of Gaim 3 and Ryuki 1! They look nice and all, but nothing new revealed. I think maybe the one thing we didn't know about is that Kachidoki comes with a special Kiwami Lockseed-holding hand? That's pretty cool!

Hang about actually, there is ONE thing -- from the next time hint, it looks like the final figure in Book 8 will be Sabela
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E2COzV8V...png&name=small Also also, YU-DO Zenkaiger 1 finally releases on Monday! https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0513194926.jpg |
Indeed, it's Sabela!
https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0526164322.jpg Which makes the mystery of why the logo on the Arthur box was blurred remain unknown |
Releases 6/14! Sabela's got an entirely unique mold to her due to being a female rider. Think they nailed the colour choices on her honestly; she looks amazing
https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0526170758.png |
Wow Book 8 looks amazing. Haven't seen as good of a lineup since Book 4. Well, I guess that depends on how much you like Saikou, those forms can easily seem like filler. There's like 5 Saikou releases now?
