SHODO-X 12 will have RabbitTank Hazard...they are really after my heart. Can't wait. I hope the accessory pack includes lots of weapons and alternate eye pieces for Hazard.

Awesome, I was wondering if they'd do Build! I can only assume Grease, Rogue and some form of Evol will be SHODO-O.

For anyone curious, SHODO-X 12 releases on May 5th and Book 3 is in December. SHODO-X 12 is made up of Rabbit/Tank; Hazard Rabbit/Tank; Cross-Z; Cross-Z Great; the Machine Builder and the obligatory accessory box.

It's very interesting by the way that SHODO-X 12 is ENTIRELY Build. Usually what they do especially recently is theme a wave around a Heisei series and a Showa series -- Kabuto/Super-1, Blade/Stronger, Amazons/Amazon. We haven't had a full wave focused on one series since Agito back in October 2019, so they've gotta be confident in this wave.

Admittedly though there's just not many Showa riders left -- just Skyrider, ZX and the three movie guys. We're quickly nearing completion on that front so maybe they don't wanna get there juuuust yet?

I guess there's enough easy material for a Build wave they know people will want that they didn't feel the need to slip any of the 90's riders in there. Skyrider will probably come when they can figure out some partners where they can have his bike in the wave with him - Machine Builder would probably take priority because, well, Build maks bank!

If they keep up with Heisei Bikes I'm deeply going to have to consider SHODO. Kuuga, Build, W, OOO and Fourze all on their bikes... now that'd be a nice sight.

Poor Blade, Ex-Aid and Kabuto though. C'mon Bandai. At least Ryuki got a whole dragon!

AH I'm so glad Buster's SO-DO has his own body mold and proportions. After his RKF rendition, I thought they'd just recycle a standard SO-DO body for him.

Yes, give me Blade's bike so I can relive the exciting Black Fang action!

Slightly more seriously, I can imagine them doing Lazer in SHODO-O at some point, *especially* with how well he did in the Figuarts re-issue poll. He's not just a bike, he's a friend after all.

If SHODO continues with machines, they will have fun with Drive. Probably a P-Bandai set?

We did see a transforming Auto Vajin, so anything is possible!

They could always do Premium Bandai sets like what they did with Agito, too -- I can already imagine an Ex-Aid set of Brave, Snipe and Lazer all in their Level 2s.

I... might pass on this. Dunno, the size difference between So-do and SHODO is a bit on the "Eh, nah" side.
