Going by the price of each of the upcoming complete sets, AI 7 has six boxes, 8 has nine and 9 has ten. Assuming no more waves get announced, here's my speculation.
AI 7 Flaming Falcon Body? Flaming Falcon Armor? Zamonas Body? Zamonas Armor? Ichi-gata Body? Ichi-gata Armor? AI 8 Rampage Vulcan Body? Rampage Vulcan Armor? Barlckxs Body? Barlckxs Armor? Tsukuyomi Body? Tsukuyomi Armor? Ikazuchi Body Ikazuchi Armor Horseshoe Crab Raider? AI 9 Jackal Raider Body? Jackal Raider Armor? Zero-One Final Form Body? Zero-One Final Form Armor? Final Arc Surprise Suit Body? Final Arc Surprise Suit Armor? Zero-One Movie Suit Body? Zero-One Movie Suit Armor Movie Villain Body? Movie Villain Armor?

Edit: Pic1: Top Stage 1, bottom Stage 6. Pic 2 Top Stage 6, Bottom Stage 1. Just something I wanted to show off. This is the difference between my SODO Stage 1 brave's stickers and my Stage 6 brave's stickers. I've stored both these figures just loose in a box for most the time I've had them, and the wave 6 stickers are just such higher quality. The quality jump is frankly astounding. It really does amaze me how SO-DO has grown since Ex-Aid Stage 1, even within the Ex-aid line.

Honestly, it's been weird messing around with the Ex-Aid figures recently. I started on the Build line, and that's only a few months to a year later, and the Ex-Aid figures feel... not great? The proportions are weird on the Ex-Aid figures, and the stickers (while hitting areas of the figure I wouldn't expect) don't seem to do as much as the Build ones do. I don't know. I'm glad I got the figures I got, Ride-Player Nico forever, but I'm not sure I'm going to try and grab all of the Ex-Aid ones. They might be too dated, design-wise, for me now. (Also, I'm terrified that any ones I get now will have stickers with, like, zero adhesive. It's been a slight problem with some Build figures, and I gotta figure it'll be worse with Ex-Aid.)

Just a heads-up for SO-DO fans in the US and/or any lurkers who are curious about this toy line: I'm letting spare SO-DO go, on a pay-what-you-can basis. Shipping's $8.50 in the US, anything you want to pay beyond that is up to you. More details in this thread!

Something seems off here, I just can't put my finger on what.

I finally got around to painting SO-DO Chronicles OOO TaToBa. This is one of the more expensive figures, requiring 3 boxes to complete, though you do get a lot of accessories.
Overall, the quality is much higher than Den-O, who feels very lose at all joints from the waist down. The head/neck articulation is a little stiff, which probably has something to due with the form change gimmick. Here he is being summoned by Grand Zi-O! And a rider kick! You can see the lack of neck articulation really contributes to the stiff look of the kick. In terms of painting, OOOs has a lot of good paint applications already, though the primary colors of green, yellow, and red are a bit muted. I might try adding some gloss coating to darken those colors. As always, I used a combination of gundam paint markers and the included stickers. This is based on what parts are molded and whats going to be easy to paint. For example, the yellow stickers on the sides of the chest would be very difficult to paint with detail, so the stickers work best. I used a black Gundam marker to detail in the mask, the black stripe areas of the forearms, and the lines in the legs. The entire belt was painted silver, with some gold details on the scanner (it comes with a sticker but I went with paint here). Finally, I added some yellow paint to the glove fingers. SO-DO continue to be incredibly fun to assemble and paint. The one thing I really dream of from the line are the trademark compound eyes. I really hope Bandai sticks with the line long enough to give us at least the 20 Heisei riders. |
