Well, thankfully, I only have five Ex-Aiders I need stands for. Thanks for the tips!

Got Daguva stickered yesterday. Gorgeous figure. Both the white and the gold, as stand out strong, and all the little sculpted details make it look like more than just a toy, it brings it up to the level of a real collectors piece. He looks fantastic with Kuuga Ultimate. I love the idea of the final boss and the Rider’s final form having a similar look. Was one of my favorite things about Zero-One’s Ark-One vs Ark-Scorpion battle. Would love to see it done more in the franchise

Thanks to the elegant simplicity of his design, and the higher budget of Premium Bandai, he barely had any stickers. Just a couple bits of shoulder detail, back of the belt and his emblem with optional cracked version. The hands took up most of the sheet. He also comes with a Kuuga Ultimate form sticker for the stand, not sure what's the deal with that. Guessing that'll make sense when I eventually watch the last 10 or so episodes of Kuuga.

Also got Rising Titan fixed up. Sister used some tweezers and specials glue to move the sticker that got stuck a bit too high into place, and flatten down part of the torn sticker, then some paint that matched perfectly to fill in the missing details.

ha I didn't know N-Daguva-Zeba came with a white stand. Very unique.

Also good job with the sticker repair! Do you use tweezers to apply your stickers?

I hadn't seen this, but in the blog they use stickers from the Decade Armor Saber form to sticker up the zikku driver on Double Armor. I might have to get this set after all.

I don't, I just use a toothpick. After seeing her use one to fix it though, I might have to give it a try. Seemed pretty effective

Right, so before I calculate prices, any takers for Riderman and Genm?
The current distribution is:
Akibasilver: Kamen Rider Leangle, Joker Undead
Kurona: Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Accessory Pack

I know Kurona has delays, but when are you (AkibaSilver) planning to buy?

WOWOW the next SO-DO Chronicle is Ryuki!

holy shit scissors is in wave one

amazing

So, if I'm reading the Google Translate correctly (which I'm sure Kurona or Akiba will nail down for everyone shortly), it's sounding like the TV Riders will be mass-released, while the Contract Monsters will be Premium Bandai-exclusive.

I thinks that's the absolute best way to do it, if they only have two waves to work with. I'm not someone who wants the Contract Monsters (right now anyway), so it's nice to have the option to just get the nine (?) Riders and call it a day. The Contract Monsters still get produced for the folks who want them (PB, but not impossible to acquire), and those that don't want them get to have all of the TV Riders.

Honestly, it's a great plan by Bandai.
