01 Shooting Wolf was via the Super Complete Works box for the show; the same way Prime Rogue and Geiz BiBiBi were distributed. Big huge boxset of the show plus extras, of which the special So-Do figures was one of. They done Shooting Wolf because unlike Build and Zi-O there was no extra HBV with a new form in that set to make a form of, so they took advantage of the situation to do something wild.
But, yeah, that's all through special means. Sarameiou in particular is a special anniversary thing for OOO, and Cyclone is kinda-sorta popular with it being a counterpart to Joker, and just being a W form in general. Ark-Zero-One is difficult to see happening under similar circumstances, but... we'll see! You never know

Are you guys, like, prophets or something?!
Stageshow exclusive form!! Hell yeah!!!! Like it's literally just Red Ark-One, but... this is still pretty big. First time SO-DO's ever done this! Woz Armour next, please? Either way, they're not stopping there -- they revealed EVERY remaining figure in Book 5 tonight. So, without further ado -- Ark-Scorpion and Diago Speedy!! That clears up every show suit from Zero-One and leaves only the V-cin stuff. Notable here is that Ark-Scorpion has an Attache Arrow, and Diago Speedy has NO stickers! Fully painted right out the box like it's a SHODO or something. And... yeah, no .5 wave. I'm guessing King Arthur isn't happening aside from the Saber arm. As always, SO-DO finds a way to make their waves look CRAZY. This retail Saber wave has the bike, the footsoldier, a last-minute Zero-One form, a stageshow-exclusive Zero-One form, and Decade Complete. This line is awesome

It's funny how the bike is only partially painted. Those gold suspension parts are painted such that only the front is covered, but its the "front" being the side of the bike, and not the "nose". Very clever Bandai!

I still feel like maybe we'll get a .5 set that comes with the form and mech, maybe the gatrike phone as well.

Right, we've still got two books worth of backlog characters and forms, although if the next few months are less form-heavy then they should catch up by Book8 in May.

SO-DO really does just throw darts at a board to decide what they're making, don't they? What a toyline.

Their release schedule of 4-5 a month, no matter how many forms TV has given them to do, certainly helps!

The thing is, too, is that Saber ironically has less ground to cover than previous shows.
That seems bizarre to say given how the first half of the show has been, but the way the early forms were set up means they don't need to dedicate a figure to every single one (like Zi-O's armours or Punching Kong etc), instead having a mix-and-match system be enough. So that way later in the line they have room to cover a LOT of wild stuff
