Hi folks, just wondering where people tend to pick up full boxes of SODO stuff? I did it during the Zi-O days but it was from all over (Mandarake, eBay, the usual suspects) - Is there anywhere especially good for it now? Thanks!

I’ve used AmiAmi to get the full case of Chronicle Gaim and Ryuki. I’ve had no issues so far. Hobby Link Japan also carries full cases too

I've also had success with nin-nin-game. Looks like they still have Saber Books 5,6,7 & 9 on sale.

SO-DO CHRONICLE Genocider was so popular it's getting a second run!

Argh I want it, but need to catch up on sodo saber/chronicle first (and get a bunch of swords and books)

Nothing super unexpectd this week, but we have an interesting announcement:

Revi and Vice are first! There's a lot here about how they've redesigned the body to increase the range of motion, make it more proportionate, with a nice comparison shot of all the main Riders since Ex-Aid.

But anyway, that surprise? Well, Revice Wave 1 isn't just Revice... it's including Saber. And Zero-One.

After that bombshell, there's some nice shots of the Shodo Den-O wave, releasing tomorrow.

In honor of So-Do's 5th anniversary, behold this amazing commercial

While not quite as impressive as Saber's improvements - if only because there's not much higher they could go - there's still some impressive stuff going on with the yearly improvements here!

The big thing is that a LOT more focus is going into hiding joints than before. In particular there's a new type of hip introduced that completely hides the balljoint - these may as well be RKFs now! - while also allowing more outer movement; to the point they can do the splits! The gaps in the elbows have been reduced; gaps in the back of the arms and legs have been filled in; the outer shoulder movement introduced with Saber as been improved for Revi; they brought over CHRONICLE Ryuki's seamless ankle joint; the new style of legs allows for a sharper knee bend... it's nothing completely revolutionary, but it's a lot of small improvements that adds up to an awesome advancement all around!

The stickers also remain very low from last year; most impressively to me, Revi's chest is completely painted and looks downright beautiful! His stickers are really just for his face, belt and some other minor details.

Wave 1 is looking pretty insane, kinda fitting for how crazy Revice as a season is and this being the 50th anniversary! I'm guessing the other reveal for the wave are Revi and Vice's weapons since they weren't shown off here, but either way this looks great. Here's to a fantastic 5th anniversary for SO-DO!!

The engineering feats on Revice are no joke. I'm happy for them. The hips have always been the dead giveaway that these are cheap figures.

It's a shame that SO-DO improves so much every year because it does feel a little shitty to hang on to the previous year's molds.

The first wave is named By 1

Check out a familiar face in the commercial
