The Japanese supermarket randomly gets in candy toys, so I picked up the Shodo Double Cross Kamen Rider Black RX last night.
I'm not very knowledgeable about Shodo & co, so some of this might be a bit "well...yeah" but here are my thoughts: It's pretty nice quality, everything is pre-painted and no stickers. The plastic feels really high quality and is almost...soft? The difference in quality is really apparent compared to my Shodo Chronicle Kuuga figures, which feel a lot cheaper in comparison. You can almost see the difference, with Kuuga being shiny. My only real complaint is that he's quite a bit shorter than Kuuga (even without the stand) and the weapons came in a separate box. By the way, it hurt paying almost $15 for this thing when my KR Black Shodo cost about 300 yen in Akihabara and I won the Kuuga set

I got my Shodo-XX2 set and for the most part it's solid. Only downside is my Accel came both with a busted back strut and horribly sloppy face paint which is even more annoying to fix because of the (cool) clear blue visor.
Funny, even though I got the set mainly for the W characters, I think the real stars are RX's alt forms and Zero-Two. Shame the latter's antennae are so easily warped. W's hips are really weird where they can't go fully straight without being extended down. So if you want to put him in his normal pointing pose that all W toys are doomed to do for eternity it's not really happening. |

Maybe a bit predictable what it'd be but this is a SUPER good wave. Extremely stoked for retail Psyga and the ridiculous amount of accessories included with each figure here without an accessory box. There's not even much accessory switcharound like with Kabuto 2; the only mismatched accessories are Faiz Blaster's sword and gun modes being included with Riotrooper!

I wouldn't call this wave predictable because Chronicle has never made movie Riders at retail before.
Anyways, chainsaw sword! And Zombie! (Much like Geats, the sword comes with Buffa's Entry Form instead of Zombie. I'm fine with this as long as it's the same wave, which this is) |

Well, there was Joker... but I get what you mean. It's one of those things where what else would they do, you know? Especially with Kabuto 2 having a much deeper pull

I mean first Faiz wave was 3 figures and 2 accessory boxes, I was expecting accessory boxes and no movie Riders.

After Hakaiser, I started painting the Zenksi Cannon and then realized Zenkaiser needed work and then, well, I kept going until I painted all of this:
I posted details and way more pictures here: https://www.tokunation.com/forums/sh...260#post839260 |

Today we saw all of Sodo ID 2, and a big faiz reveal. It's all pretty cool.
