Ah, completely forgot about the Battle raider. Although I think that FJ might be part of a Raider set. Maybe they could do a mixed set of Raiders and Magia.

Quick Update on the box: It's still in the packing phase, hopefully it'll ship soon.

Decided to get out my Zi-O Kuuga so-do after so long! Managed to get a few poses out of him with his alternate hands; though it's a damn crime he doesn't come with a thumbs up. I don't think he actually did that in the movie (which, crime on the part of the movie!), but c'mon. Still, Kuuga to many peoples' surprise DOES do things other than thumbs up, so I decided to do those!

And while I was getting my So-Do Zi-Os out... I'm not keeping this display, but hey, why not do this as a one-off?

Updated updated list for AI10:
Ark-one
Kamen Rider Naki
Battle Raider
Dodomagia

I believe it's another 10 box wave, so feel free to add one more to the prediction

‘Kay, so an UpUpUpdated list:
Ark-one
Dodomagia
Kamen Rider Naki
Battle Raider
Summer movie form/ fighting Jackal
Both of the last ones have an equal chance. Zi-o’s summer form came in the AI05 so this one isn’t quite certain. Fighting Jackal seems plausible due to it being used by a rider and being the most significant raider.

I think if any summer-exclusive suits would be saved for a later line, it WOULD be Zero-One's; given the delays.

Inb4 we get an Izu figure or something silly.

Hey, I know asking means I probably shouldn't do it, but do you think I should drop the 200 to get SO-DO Den-o Star set (Zeronos Altair, Vega, and Zero, and New Den-o) and the SO-DO Extreme/ Lunatrigger/HeatMetal set?

I love W, and I really enjoy SO-DO, but those Premium Bandai prices are almost impossible to justify. I can't speak to the Den-O stuff, but I have yet to pull the (luna)trigger on that W set. Too expensive for tiny mans!

But, y'know, if you feel an absence by not having them on a shelf with your other tiny mans, it's not the worst purchase to make. They ain't doing a lot more SO-DO for either of those series, so you'd probably close to complete on them.

-nods- absolutely true, I think I'll just try to snag the den-o star set, because I really like Yuuto and New Den-o. I'll also probably buy the kuuga base form case.

I am wondering now if we'll get SO-DO imagin, I could see that happening.

(note: I am procrastinating on buying the den-o Sodo sets, I have two of the base body for the primary 4 forms, but not any of the armor sets. The reason I have two of the base bodies is because my mom bought them for me while we were shopping at a Japanese market)

It'll happen, but it'll be a Premium Bandai set that costs 15000 yen.

(note: Your mom is awesome, and I hope you thanked her for being awesome.)

*Hurls this tweet at all of you*
Yo! Guess what I'm pre-ordering!

Whoa! Also preordered! Thanks for the heads-up!

Damn, why do I have to be in the UK?!!!

Bluefin doesn't have a UK warehouse? That sucks a lot.

Yeah these are only available for America unfortunately. It's been my one sticking point with Bluefin for a while :(

Yeah, Bluefin being US-only is annoying. I'd gladly buy from them if they shipped to Canada.

I have bought/set up bids on a lot of sodo stuff today.

My current Sodo display:

Looking good!

That looks great! (I see you lurking back there Grease Perfect)

(also I really need to set up a display for my Sodo)

I hope that this week or the next they’ll reveal the ?ai-Sodo set so I know whether to wait for that or put additional paint on my older Sodo.

We got Basic Dodo Magia!

Notes - special molding to stick the Valk Sabers on the back, and the head of the Custom Magia is covered in PVC spikes.

He also talks about why the Chicks (aga the goons) are coming before the actual main Dodo Magia itself. Basically, mold re-use from the generic Trilobites means it's easier to do, despite it making less sense. Not that it matters since Dodo is from months ago, but still, interesting.

Doubly interesting is my attempt to understand what is happening here. From what I can tell, you can't properly make the Episode 11 Dodo Magia shown in the middle - because of how the necks are constructed (health and safety), they're not fully compatible. Shame, but it be like that sometimes.

And that's the first reveal of AI10! Tune in next week for who-knows-what!

So there will either be another one box figure, or a three box figure in this wave. Either way I'm interested. Naki and Jackal Raider are still my two biggest hopes

Man, those foot stickers look pretty terrible. When even the best application possible for a photo shoot look wrinkly and gross, I can only imagine what mine are going to look like.

Also, thanks to AkibaSilver for the post!

Quadrupdated list for AI10:
Ark-One
Kamen Rider Naki
Dodomagia
Dodomagia Custom
Battle Raider
Fighting Jackal
I think it’s be possible to make the Battle Raider a one box set although that would result in a lack of its trademark heavy weaponry.

Hi folks, I have a few questions about EMS shipping:
1) is it reliable?
2) how much does it take to the UK?

you know, I was joking when I said 10 was gonna be all dodomagia...

Started my Rampage paint project!

I can't really speak to the UK part, but EMS has been totally reliable for shipping to the US. It's significantly slower now, thanks to the pandemic, but I've never had a problem other than the recent delays. (What used to take 10 days to ship from Japan to Chicago is now closer to a month. Or, it was recently? I switched to DHL, so maybe EMS has sped back up?)

Can't wait to see it! Process pics are always welcome!

In Die’s request, here’s a progress pic:

Thanks! Now I'm going to have to put my own Rampage Vulcan together, to try and see what changes you're making.

If you want to talk a little bit about your steps/tools/goals, I'd love to hear them!

To be honest I’m just painting on the missing details based on the concept art from the rider website and using citadel paints as well as a citadel starter brush. When I get more paint I’ll do the little gems and the missing gold.

That looks great! reminds me I need to paint some of my SODO stuff.

Hey both these are the back picture, but the back looks great.

Shoot, inserting pictures here is a lot harder than on TFW2005. Here’s the corrected front:

Finished!

Looks great! The added detail really makes it pop. Thanks for sharing your work!

(Also, a pretty fun figure! Thanks for giving me the motivation to put mine together!)
