SHODO figures defitely feel a little 'gummier', for lack of a better term, but for cheap little candy toy figures, they're fine. Shoulders are pretty much attached to the shoulders on a thin strip of plastic, the articulation on them isn't great, but again, it's like £2 a figure (not including shipping ofc), they're fine.

Yeah, they're even cheaper than SO-DO, so I don't mind a few compromises, but that is the one concern I have. |

Nah, not really. Like, the attachment is thin, but it's strong enough that I've never felt like the shoulder pad's just going to get ripped off by me handling it.

Thanks for your input. I'm sold. Kabuto was my first series, but I have no Kabuto merch to display. This seems like a great option along with Hyper Kabuto.
Also, it was just revealed that we're getting the Invading Horse Shoe Crab Raider AND the Battle Raider in Saber Book 2! I'm really disappointed that I'll be waiting another month for SO-DO Buster, but that's awesome. |

Also, SO-DO Update time! We hav the Hard Boys! Aka the Crab Raiders, Thouser's goons, etc.
They come with a generic gun. It goes bang bang. Thouser getting his arse kicked. There's also a slightly modified set - it comes with Humagear Headphones and a belt filler to form a Battle Raider (aka those drones from the 01/Zi-O movie!) All this comes out 30th November, along with the rest of Saber 2! Also, a bunch of nice photos of the last couple from Gaim! Sour Grapes boy: And his older brother, the melon man. There's also a couple of Arms Changes here. Sadly, you don't get alternate eye stickers by the looks of it, but it's nice to see them showing it off. And that's that! No Saber news (*cough Slash cough*) till next week!

Ryugen Melon Arms is deeply cursed.
But yeah, they did clarify specifically that they'd include alternate stickers for forms that appeared on the show. I was hoping though that they'd have alternate stickers for these specific ones, since they DID actually appear in the HBV.

Man, the Battle Raiders look good here!
Would be nice to get bigger figures of them. |

So the reveals this week are: Both variants of the Invading Horseshoe Crab trooper are in Book 2. Book 2 is a wave of 12, meaning (hopefully) everything is one per case. EDIT: Weird, it didn't load the last page worth of posts until I posted. |

The only time I've ever felt like it might tear is on KickHopper, but that's been the only time. And that's probably just my copy because PunchHopper is fine. The main issue with these are the shoulder pads can warp after use and not go all the way back down (The original Kabuto is really bad for this). This has gotten better over the years as they've figured out the right softness.

Some predictions for Saber Book 3, assuming it's a 12-box set because I can't see anything to the contrary:-
- Buster - Kenzan - Blades Pegasus Lion Peter - Saber Dragon Eagle Journey - Orthoros Vulcan - Ark Scorpion I'm at the very very least confident that they want to hurry to both finish up Zero-One's stuff (so those two figures and then we're done), as well as get Buster and Kenzan out asap because come on. Saber's Arthur arm I think will just be included with the obligatory bike/mech exclusive set. I could also see a single box that has Buster and Kenzan's alternate arms. I'm fairly certain Book 4 will have Espada's 3 book form, Slash and Calibur Ja-Oh.
