Hey friends I'm considering buying 2 lots of SO-DO Saber figures off of Yahoo Auction/Zenmarket. Problem is they both come with book 6, which I already have. Would anyone want to take them off my hands?

Yume yo odore
Kono hoshi no moto de Nikushimi wo utsushidasu Kagami nante kowasuhodo! SO-DO Kamen Rider Ryuki Most of the time when I paint Ryuki related stuff, they don't require as much paint as other Heisei riders and the SO-DO figure is no different. The only sticker I used is the belt and the sword blade. The head is a soft plastic and fully painted right out of the box. Very nice but the mask part has a tendency to fall off when moving the head around on the tight neck joint. Also warning: The top part of the DragVisor is very small and likes to go missing. I almost threw it out with the bag because its so small. This SO-DO figure is made from a very nice red plastic. I was expecting the cheaper red found a lot in the recent Saber SO-DOs. The included soft-plastic hands were a nice touch but in effect they hold the sword very poorly. It still beats the old SO-DO style swords in the past. We also get a closed fist and it really makes you wish SO-DO came with more closed fists. The arm articulation is really good with pull out shoulders inside a hinge. I don't know if it was just my figure, but the waist joint is very very loose. As a result, Ryuki can be a little floppy, especially with extended arm poses. Even though we've previewed the new thigh joints in the Revice SO-DO, these older style joints actually work well with Ryuki's suit design. I wonder if the SO-DO Chronicle line will adapt the Revice joints? Anyhow, it's a great figure. I'm a big fan of the Ryuki design. I can hear the sound of glass breaking!

Man this looks fantastic, we've really made leaps and bounds since Ex-aid. So do y'all feel sodo chronicle is a more premium line then regular sodo?

That feeling comes from SO-DO Chronicle being a 14+ line while normal SO-DO is a 3+ line. G-san mentions the safety requirements SO-DO has to do that SO-DO Chronicle doesn't many times. Also pretty sure Chronicle costs a little more.

Minipla vs Super Minipla (now known as Sokugan Modeling Project) also has a similar distinction in quality.

Even though the So-Do Kiwami body has those Fruit Jesus pecs and abs, it is still compatible with other chest armors. So I made a quick head swap with the only long haired figure I had ...

Jam packed So-Do blog post today!
First off, the extra two boxes in the first Revice wave are used for bonus parts, mainly for the Remix Rex form! It looks as doofy as you'd expect, but I appreciate them trying. To aid in this combination, they're introducing a new type of stand to So-Do Also in those boxes are some Saber parts! A special version of Saber's sword for Primative Dragon, a mid transformation version of Durandal's sword, and a Trident version of it The full layout for the wave: But that's not all, we switch over from G-San to D-San for the reveal of Ryuki wave 3! Ryuki Survive Odin Tiger Imperer Alternative and alternative stickers for Alternative Zero And there's still more! Shodo-O 8 revealed too Evol Cobra Dark Kiva Nega Den-O Wolf Orphenoch Mole Imagin And Guardians, with alternate stickers for different factions Along with the reveal of P-Bandai Shodo Taros's. And some Converge news, but I don't think nayone here collects that!

The SHO-DO Guardians are BEAUTIFUL. Something I absolutely adore about SHO-DO is how gorgeous the mooks are. It makes me super happy since these guys tend to not look good as SO-DO figures, and Figuarts either doesn't cover them anymore or covered them during a period where Figuarts looked like garbage.
The SHODO Imagin are...very interesting. Pretty much every suit they covered so far with shoulder pads has them attached to the torso, but they're not being very consistent with these guys for some reason. Momotaros' shoulder pads are independent on the actual suit, but they're attached to the torso in SHO-DO. Urataros and Ryutaros all have indepedent shoulder pads on their suits and remain independent in SHO-DO. Kintaros' shoulder pads are attached to the torso on the suit, but are independent in SHO-DO. Did they do something like this before? Odd. I figured anything with shoulder pads would be attached to the torso in SHO-DO. Last edited by Chasing; 09-11-2021 at 08:27 PM.. |

- That's incredible we're getting Durandal's very long spear. Knight Survive was one of my top 10 suits for a very long time. Glad to see it in SO-DO. Meanwhile Ryuki Survive is my least favorite Heisei final form! The exaggerated proportions of Converge figures really makes you notice how big tall the Revice helmet is.
