Hope y'all wanted SO-DO to continue being absolutely batshit!

They're doing these!! As the first figures in Wave 6! They even note how Zi-O Decade Saber is "the most Bandai friendly design ever". I mean, maybe we should have seen it coming with Decade Complete and that accessory pack, but... man, it's just SO good to see these. And in typical SO-DO fashion they can't just, like, do these figures as well as they can and leave it there, no no; they have to include a bunch of cool extras!

So first off? Decade Complete 21 comes with an extra holstered Ridebooker sticker for Ride Plus Decade - y'know, the figure from 2019 - and then in a similar fashion to the Progrise Key-holding hand for Zero-One, Zi-O Decade Saber comes with a Ridewatch holding hand with a bunch of optional stickers for whichever Rider you want to have him start borrowing the power of!

Oh, yeah; he comes with the Neo Diendriver! Looking pretty nice!

And as one last surprise for this wave? The accessory pack comes with one more thing -- a fully 3D Blade King Rouzer for Grand Zi-O!

Wave 6 releases in April! This is a delay from March but with everything going on it's understandable, and when the content's this good I'm happy to wait a little!

Also. Uh. THEY'RE DOING ALL THE CSM OOO FORMS!!!! Yeah, Saramiuo was really popular so they went ahead and done the rest! There's not much to say here - they kind of speak for themselves! - but they're two Premium Bandai packs at 4200 each, with the Memory and Nobunaga forms (the first two here) being one pack and the other two being another. It's just... god, did anyone ever think we'd get here? This is EVERY OOO form in existence. Every single one. This line is ridiculous and I love it

Now if Seihou could get in on doing these that'd be greeaaatt...

I have some of the older Shodo like Riderman, Amazon, Super-1, and Stronger's bike (bike's from X, rest are from VS) I'm trying to sell if you're interested.

Unless you count the updates done to the early Showa guys, not really. The most you can do is set up a Manda alert and wait it out.

Also, I'm gonna give up saying what SO-DO will or won't make. The other future OOO combos were, like, outside of the top ten "What is tonight's SO-DO Chronicle news" guess I had with myself. I was putting more money on Agito.

I'm amazed we got no new CHRONICLE line revealed. I guess we'll be waiting a while?

SHODO hasn't really done re-issues but it has done riders previously done in the past with SHODO-X which is still in scale.

For example Kabuto has appeared as both SHODO and SHODO-X. So again, almost anything goes.

Will probably be between now and May (I hope)


Also no SO-DO releases in March, that sucks.

Annoying there's another delay, but it at least gives me chance to catch up on my Transformers, So-Do and now Shodo backlog.

It is a shame, but honestly understandable given everything that's going on. I imagine SHODO-X 12 is a little later than it would have been, too; I remember its reveal shocking me with the May release date.

The really major thing here is that it's completely shifted all of SO-DO Saber's releases to a month later. I wonder if that'll be fixed when the next Rider's SO-DO waves come around, or maybe we'll get one less Saber wave?
