As someone who doesn't watch Saber, I did not know that this suit existed. I immediately Googled it, to see if the SO-DO did it justice. I think it did, and I love both of them. Slash is a grotesquely busy design (literally none of his shapes make any sense), with a color palette that rides the line between Ex-Aid Nostalgia and Did The Designer Lose A Bet. (Hot Pink covered in Gingerbread House? Am I getting that right?) It is so.. extra, so garish, that I'm getting that same fascination as when I first saw the SHF for Bang Bang Simulations, and fell in love with Kamen Rider. It is the ugliest suit, and I don't think I've ever loved anything more. Slash has stolen my heart.
(That collar!) (Also, thanks for the post, Deepsea!) Also yes the design is hotpink covered in like those two tone cookies you see at the store sometimes. Also yes the collar is a great bit of design.

The design is so visually incoherent that it evokes a kind of Stockholm Syndrome: it's so punishing that I begin to welcome the discomfort, sympathize with my tormentor.

The big unfortunate thing here beyond Calibur's cape is that Slash doesn't come with the gun mode of his sword; it's noted it'll be coming later with something else.
Either way, very cool lineup so far! Wasn't expecting Slash at all; was totally expecting them to keep up their pattern of Saber + Auxiliary book in one wave, the relevant extra Rider in the next. I wonder if we'll see Bremen no Rock Band in this wave at all, then? I believe what we're now down to is... - Saber Dragon Arthur - Saber Dragon Bremen - Saber Dragonic Knight - Blades King Lion - Saikou - Falchion - Saber Emotional Dragon

I think his specific motifs are Trapper Keeper Brutalism and Weaponized 1988, but agree to disagree!

For those who are interested, this box just dropped and it comes with a Shooting Wolf Zero-One So-Do. Which is the only reason I’m posting this video here.

Ending the year with Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi
A really amazing figure, it feels like premium bandai with the amount of plastic you get. This one definitely took more paint than just about any other SO-DO I've done. Just a lot of gold. Speaking of Premium Bandai From the Bandai Gashapon Blog... It looks like we have a new SO-DO related line, it's the awesome ULTRAMAN Z!! They come with effect parts, which for Sevenger means damage eyes! http://bandaicandy.hateblo.jp/entry/20201225_ultraman This now means we have Sevenger in an Ultra Hero Vinyl, a deluxe lights and sounds figure, a Mini-pla kit, an SH Figuarts, and now a SO-DO candy toy!! He truly was the most popular robot of 2020. Pre-orders open tomorrow Dec 25th. Happy Holidays everyone!

Knowing what I know, this is likely to be CHODO Ultraman related, meaning it's SHODO scaled.

Yup! This is part of their CHODO line; meaning fully painted, no assembly (beyond what's necessary to fit in boxes) or stickers. And damn if they don't look beautiful! 5500 yen for the three of them... definitely not a bad asking price. This is awesome! Would be cool if we saw another set with King Joe, Delta Rise Claw and Geed Galaxy Rising but the fact that even this happened is fantastic enough.

SO-DO Wave 4 has its last two figures revealed -- Dragonic Knight and King Lion! The latter unfortunately can't transform into his lion mode as probably expected, but they have so many paint applications that I think they're some of the best looking SODOs yet. Dragonic Knight practically looks like a SHODO!!
The release date has also been revealed as January 25th -- also, the blog's taking a break next week; but the week after will feature our first look at wave 5.
