The planets are goofy but I love that they're attempted at all. They're maybe the main thing I'll try and track down from this set?

Those SHODO Shin riders look great. Probably gonna pick up both once a site has them available

Chronicle Fourze sure is a surprise, and even more surprising is the selection in the first wave. Hopefully they don't lock Nadeshiko behind a PB release

I will defend those stickers only slightly in that those are prototype stickers and the final product should look better than those pictures...still looks like a complete nightmare to sticker regardless. And good luck even considering painting those yourself.




Speaking of bad times with stickers, I got ID5 in this week and Command has some really bad ones, but it's not entirely the stickers' fault. These are the butt wings for Cannon Jet.

They are made in orange PVC and completely covered in stickers wrapping around the parts. The wings being flat planks made of PVC is the problem here because as you are wrapping the stickers around the wings, they heat up and start to bend. Not only does to make it nearly impossible to get the stickers on correctly, but also causes them to start peeling the moment the wings take their proper shape again.

Now, I don't think stickers on PVC should never be done, I have plenty that are perfectly fine. I also don't think wrap around stickers are the worst thing either. Again, I have plenty of good ones. It's combining all of this together that's making the perfect storm of sticker hell. Better off painting these parts if you can.

The SO-DO Fourze news last night came with a July release date, but just now they delayed it and a bunch of other stuff to September.

The absolute worst sticker I've ever seen from a Bandai kit is easily the Zyuogher Minipla Cube Lion.

I'll always go a little easier on stickers that go on places that are easily paintable, but the Cube Lion sticker is a huge, flat sticker that goes over a grid. Painting is not an option at all, meanwhile the sticker itself is sticking to such little surface area that peeling is immediate. Let's say you get the thing on perfectly with no issues, well because its hollow beneath that sticker, its very easy to puncture the surface or at the very least, leave impressions in the face of the sticker. To top it all off, the color matching of the sticker is way off.

It's such a shame too, because honestly the Zyu-Oh King minipla is very good and is way better than the literal brick that is the DX version. This sticker haunts me to this day.

Wow! That zyuohger sticker is incredible! I just consider myself lucky I never had to deal with something like that.

After a lot of fuss on twitter among japanese about future of sodo 2 weeks ago, i am glad they show sodo chronicle fourze, with cosmic there i bet next wave will be PB 3 forms for series and a PB set for movie forms(fusion/rocket) + nadesiko

Ichigo and Nigo bundled with bikes :( they are cool but now i wonder how will shin ichigo will be ever released ....

ahaha i remember they release premium bandai zyuoh set that include additional plate to cover these of course sticker still neede but it's flat

Huh, SoDo Chronicle Fourze jumping right to the base pair, and then the final forms? Interesting choice, kinda disappointing, even if it's just becuase no Nadeshiko while literally everything from Double and Gaim is floating around. Guess we might see a PB set for Elek/Fire/Magnet at some point, probably with some extra modules?

Worst case scenario would be the other forms in between being web exclusives.

I mean, the worst case is they don't see a release ever.
