They really really are! You can just have a full collection of every Faiz suit for the price of two modern figuarts, it's pretty great

More importantly, I can have a better Jetsliger for half the cost

I like the Shodo guys ok too, but they're a little softly sculpted in comparison so as someone who prefers Heisei Phase 1, I really hope we get a Chronicle Agito and Blade set in the next couple years

I would be all over an Agito line... the more time goes on the more I realise they're some of my favourite Rider designs

I'm watching the Faiz assembly review, and there's so many more stickers than I expected for what is really a simple color scheme on each suit. And I thought Kabuto was rough. I think I'll skip Faiz and try to get Kabuto later. I don't love every Kabuto suit enough to get/wait the SS, so getting the lineup in So-Do works for me. I did the same for Ryuki

I'm also hoping to pick up Faiz and Kabuto alone sometime later. They do indeed have too many stickers for me to want the full team of each.

I am fine with SHODO being a different scale and style of figure, but I really wish Yu-Do was in scale with SODO!

Shodo-XX 4 revealed!

What a nice variety this wave has. As usual in XX, there's an accessory box for a total of 8 boxes. Comes out in June. The OOO figure can of course form change using the figures from XX3. Looks like Vulcan's Shotriser doesn't need replacement parts to come off the belt, which is nice. They fixed W's hips for Skull so that he's not stuck in an A stance like W figures from XX2. He also comes with a hand for holding his hat.

The following are mentioned to be in the accessory box: Both of Kuuga's staffs, Vulcan's shotgun, Skull's gun, battle damaged hat, and crystal head. There might be more, but that's what's named in the blog.

Next blog will be on 3/12 and the overview of ID5 for its release (Yeah, that's 3 weeks from now). So guess that means the release date of ID5 is 3/13.

I was just thinking about how my SHODO Ichigo could use an update! Also Skull looks very good. His missing paint apps aren't as obvious as the others.

BTW it still blows my mind that the SODO Auto Vajin is going for what an SHF version of the bike would go for.

If anyone buys up the case and does not want Ichigo, I'll be more than happy to take it off your hands

Extremely unconventional wave, even after XX2! The only new series covered here is 71 with a single figure; with the rest all being “catch up”. Have to assume they’re now committed to Kuuga’s other forms and Valkyrie in future waves. Personally I’m just looking forward to what that beautiful new Ichigo mold gets re-used for; please please do original colours…

From Premium Bandai's site, everything included in the Shodo-XX 4 accessory pack. The shorter Dragon Rod and another copy of Medajaribur were not mentioned in the blog.
