So I'm thinking about if/when we'll get SO-DO Faiz, Blade, Agito, and Kabuto . I feel like those might be the last ones we see because I feel like they're filled by the SHODO catalog, and even the typical thing of SO-DO doing basically everything doesn't really apply to those series as SHODO has done most the suits from those series,

With the usual caveat of Just When You Think You've Got The Answer, Bandai Changes The Question, yeah, I think you're probably right. Faiz, Blade, Agito, Kabuto, those feel like the last ones they'd get to. In fact, I think maybe even in that order?

Although, honestly, if I'm putting up a list of least likely? Kiva, Wizard, Ghost, those all seem pretty not-as-popular.

Except, Kabuto and Faiz were super-early kits for Figure-Rise, and we're looking at an Agito in 2021 (or did I dream that tease?), so... man, no idea. Bandai! They live to frustrate prognosticators!

Actually, Ghost came at number 9 (while it’s no cool video game reference, it’s sti a lot better than throwing cards around at monsters) on a recent popularity poll for Heisei Riders, while Kiva and Wizard narrowly avoided coming in last place (which went to Hibiki)

Agito was announced for planning during Decade's FRS showcase and Ryuki's reveal.

A recent poll I saw actually put Ghost dead last which was pretty sad; though Gaim was also extremely low (3rd last) as well, and it’s getting sodos and a new movie thing. So who knows!


I’d also add on that not only has Shodo started those seasons, but very recently they’re working on completing them. Agito of course got that whole Awakening set, but now the most recent Shodo-O wave has Chalice, Garren, Riotrooper and G4; while other recent waves have had the likes of Delta. So they’re definitely still focusing on them rather than being a one-and-done that’s not as relevant anymore for Sodo to pick up.

I think the Gaim candy toy figures dan Ghost candy toy figures (both are released before So-Do) actually are quite good in my opinion.

Hmm....the biggest weakness from Ghost candy toy figures is the main Heroic Damashii is not complete so only Musashi, Edison, Goemon, Ryoma, Tutankhamun, Nobunaga, Houdini, Grimm and Sanzo are released in candy toy version.

But, surprisingly, the Drive Damashii and OOO Damashii are released in Ghost candy toy.

That poll’s changed since then. Here’s the latest results (which I was working from)

Ghost being above Gaim should be illegal

I'm surprised Build is that high as well.

Fourze being that low (on a random survey that's in no way indicative of the larger fandom or Bandai's interest) is both confusing and infuriating. How DARE.

Damn, Ghost, Den-O and Faiz’s changes are a surprise! Very welcome in regards to Ghost. Preeeetty happy with that top 5~
