That was through Bluefin themselves while this is going through P-Bandai US
odds are they'll cost the same as the Shodo Digimon sets at $50

Those Shodo Digimon sets were 4,950 yen each which is about $50 give or take. The Kuuga set was 5,900 yen which did jump up in price to $70, though Bluefin only charged shipping. These Gaim sets are 6,380 yen each, so I'm thinking they will be $65-$70 plus tax and shipping.

Just recently received my favorite rider from Saber,

Kamen Rider Buster

Even with all the effort I put into painting this SO-DO, it still feels a little off to me. Buster, more than a lot of other SO-DO figures, really suffers from the whole "only paint the front" design. The figure itself has a lot of expressive posing potential but the lack of paint really stands out.

You can see that I used for the black parts wasn't a best fit as it is much glossier than the included matte black paint. Well, it's best to keep this figure in low, dramatic lighting!

I usually only collect primary rider suits and an occasional final form, but I really love Buster's design. He looks like a giant menacing mecha. I'm definitely planning to pick up the SH Figuart whenever that comes around.

Revisted some Ex-Aid so-do stickers and cheated a little with the top coat. Put a small layer on the underside of the sticker, then held it in place for a bout a minute.

What wouldn't even stick to the paper is now securely placed on the figure.

I'd say Espada also heavily suffers from it since unlike buster, whose back half is at least grey, Espada's White and Gold isn't carried back.

WOW, good god does SHODO-O 6 look incredibly fantastic. I saw the promotional images on the blog and for a second I genuniely thought I was looking at SH Figuarts. It blows my mind that Blood Stalk and Night Rogue actually use different molds.

My problem with this line in the past was that they don't really touch upon the more recent Kamen Rider series - seeing more Build and Ex-Aid has me very excited.

Remember we were promised SO-DO Chronicle News! Well, we've got it! An old series returns, as we get

Same price as the Try-Chaser set (~6000 Yen), and I guarantee there's a couple of Kuuga fans here who'll be happy.

And because this week is just made for Kurona, we have the reveal of SHODO-O6!

BOTTLE IN GREASE!

It's a VERY good night to be a Build fan! They're really pressuring me into going all-in on SHODO Build...

This is the good stuff, I kind of wish I collected SHODO now not gonna lie. (I probs won't start cause I missed P-bandai stuff of suits I like)

Any BeatChaser merchandise that includes the parachute is good BeatChaser merchandise.
