Oh I just noticed, that list of price increases doesn't seem to include mainline SO-DO nor Sentai's YU-DO. The lines that seem to be effected are Converge, SO-DO CHRONICLE, SHODO-X, SHODO-O and CHODO (Ultraman). Unless I'm missing something here? Two lines above CHRONICLE there's one just marked 'Masked Rider' but I can't tell what it is.

装動 仮面ライダー is SO-DO Kamen Rider and is getting a 50 yen increase.

ShishiLeo collects converge. But those I don’t think they are terribly expensive individually on places like Manda

I shipped Chronicle Gaim from ami with DHL and had no issue

I'm a big Converge collector. I'm mostly interested in just Revi and Vice from that box. Maybe we can work something out?

I haven't ordered from AmiAmi in a while, but from Zenmarket, they will only let me ship DHL or FedEx if I allow them to open the boxes and remove the candy.

Which I always say yes, but I don't think other places will do that for you. Although now that I think about it, I ordered a Zero-One SO-DO box from AmiAmi last year and it shipped DHL with the candy inside no problem. I think if AmiAmi doesn't list it as "Candy Toy" on the manifest, it will go through fine.

The whole limit on edible objects in couriers is kind of silly, but I get it.

I've ordered candy toys from Nin-Nin-Game several times and they always arrive complete with gum/soda candy with no hassle. I think they just list toys on the manifest.

I'm happy to see the changes to the SO-DO stands. Those weird pieces for holding the armor always felt like they got in the way more often. I clipped off a lot of them off stands for figures with bulkier lower bodies.

jesus christ I'm blown away by the effort they've put into the revice line thus far. even small stuff like revice coming with actual fists instead of those absurdly goofy hands with holes in them. what they've managed to do with the mammoth genome's boomerangs is amazing, too.

ryuki looks unbelievably gorgeous too. like, holy fuck - look at the size of dragrenzer...the beauty of so-do being a small scale is that they can make monsters actually look threatening, compared to figuarts kamen rider villains/monsters like the heart roidmude looking tiny. seeing destwilder and psycorogue as action figures again makes me incredibly happy.

like honestly my only complaint is that every time a new series starts, the previous year's figures kind of feel like garbage. it's really just the small details, like the fact zero-two's thigh armor prevents the figure from doing poses that are too dynamic. even saber's line has a totally different feel and look to it because of the changes they made to the thighs this year.

thank god they finally addressed that issue with the stands, though. I'm honestly so tired of having to clip off the extra bits off of every single stand.

First reveal of Revice By 2 is Mammoth Genome

Hands are molded into the boomerangs plus a set that can be attached to the back of the figure

This is where I'm at too. The line is awesome but the desparity can be jarring. I've tried to quit the line multiple times but the sheer volume of suits covered is just unmatched.

Revice so far looks like it might be hard for me to paint. Those colors are definitely not something I normally have.

Prediction for So-Do Chronicle ryuki wave 4:
Verde, Femme, Ryuga, Abyss
