Case assortments for Shodo-O 5 are out... anyone in the UK want the spare Genm, Joker Undead and Leangle when I get to it?
|
Small but unlikely things I'm hoping we get from an accessory box are parts to mount Kenzan's sword on the back of his belt and a holster for Slash to put his sword into.
Do any of you have any wants like that? |
Well. Huh! Literally no news tonight; just a review of the SHODO-O wave with the Strongest Rider, the Joker Undeads and four dudes that call themselves the god of games but don't even have a super mario 64 speedrun WR.
|
It is worth taking a look though. Very nice pictures like Shodo always does for these.

That's fine, I'm in no hurry!

On that topic; I've re-organised my candy toy wants... and I really wouldn't mind a Dragonic Knight if anyone has a spare one or one they don't want. And Decade Complete 21 when he happens
|
Right, just to get this straight. Kurona wants Riderman and the accessory set. AkibaSilver wants Leangle and Joker. Anyone want the spare Ex-Aid and Genm?

The So-Do Golden Power Kuuga set is on sale at Bluefin for $42
https://www.bluefinbrands.com/so-do-...den-power.html Not related but the acrylic logo stand for Kamen Rider 1 is also on sale for $10. Perfect if you need an all purpose Rider stand for your display https://www.bluefinbrands.com/kamen-...o-display.html |
What were the duplicates in SHODO-O 4 and SHODO-X 10?
|
Quote:
SHODO-O 4 has 2 assortments, there's no way to tell which one you get until opening the case. Both have 2 of Chalices and 2 Garrens. One assortment has 2 Rio Troopers and 2 G4s, the other assortment has 2 Worms and 2 Dark Kabutos. |

Thinking about what the next SO-DO Chronicle could be. I'mma knock off blade and faiz since those series are completed by SHODO (though I do think Faiz finished high in a poll for what figures people wanted when they were first starting SO-DO Chorincle (Blade Raider can you confirm that?))
I want to say Ryuki is a safe bet for SO-DO chroincle (maybe not the next set, but at some point) due to the sheer size of the cast and half of them simply using a black under suit, so that would fit the two box system well. If we do it we might actually see SO-DO contract monsters not all of them but probs, dragreader, the bat, magnabull robot thing, the snake (since I'm pretty sure the model was a retool of dragreader), the tiger-thing, and grasshopper bike. Also potentially the big combo monster as a ridiculous p-bandai set. (also maybe the crab for memes) Hibiki could definately pop up here since there's a lot of riders, but I've 0 idea how it would work. Maybe like the old sochaku henshin figs? Kabuto is interesting me, I'm guessing it will go to SHODO, but the lack of sasword in outsiders, and the lack of gattack has me worried they just gave up on those characters. I have legit 0 idea what's gonna happen with Kiva. Fourze seems simple enough, I'm guessing it'll be like the way SO-DO Gaim wave 3 where we get like Base, Elec, and Fire then 2 boxes of accessories. Then next wave would be meteor, magnets, cosmis and 2 more boxes of accesories. Then probably some sort of p-bandai sets with the bikes, the other modules and storm, and maybe the powerdizer. I think this is the most likely set to be next. Wizard is probably going to mimic the orignal candy toys. Base 4 forms in wave 1, the dragon for in wave 2, then either p-bandai sets for infinity with the bike, and a beast set, or if it's a wave then infinity, beast, and chimera maybe? Drive is fortunately pretty simple unless they do the tire kukans, the bikes, and if they're nuts a tridoron (relatedly the powerdizer, suika arms, the big dragon from wizard) finally Ghost, god I want Ghost. It'd fit the 2 box system great! I'm guessing wave one would be Ore, Mushashi, Newton, and Edison. Then wave 2 Boost, Ryoma, Goemon, and Himiko. Wave 3 Grateful, Mugen, and some more coats. The p-bandai quadruple specter set, and 3-pack Necrom. I don't know what compelled me to right this, but I sure did. |
I would love to see Drive just to mix things up. It feels like Fourze has gone the longest without seeing anything new?
Everyone else has received some combination of a SODO, SHODO, FRS, or SHF. |

Hmmm, Ryuki would make alot of sense. Many of the Riders share the same undersuit and even boots, gloves, gauntlets, and of course belts
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EaPK-ZrWkAAQb8N.jpg:large Wave 1: Ryuki, Knight, Zolda, Ouja Wave 2: Raia, Gai, Tiger, Scissors Wave 3: Ryuki Survive, Knight Survive, Odin, Imperer P-Bandai: Femme, Verde, Ryuga |
Likewise, the riders from Kabuto basically all share the same legs and arms.
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ka...ider_Forms.jpg They would probably do Cast Off armor and accessories in a separate box. |
If you want my serious guesses; I think we can cross out anything recently covered by SHODO -- so no Ex-Aid, or Showa, or Blade or Kabuto or Agito. They also seem to go for stuff that's at least a little popular? So unless they thought they could get away with a one-off wave, I don't think they'd do something like Hibiki. And finally, it seems they're tending towards post-Decade stuff -- so my big guesses are Fourze and Drive, with a possibility of Faiz as well.
Frankly though? Screw all that. I want SO-DO CHRONICLE Gorider |

The other figures would be Kuroto God and Kougami. And Asakura for good measure. :lolol |

And Izu! (Zero-Two isn't a great stand in, although at least it has the scarf that is somewhat her ribbon)

Quote:
I also think Ryuki is plausible due to popularity and just the sheer amount of riders not being able to fit into SHODO. |

I didn't mark off Faiz because while SHODO has done it, it released Faiz back in 2018. Which, if you can believe it, was 3 years ago!
The thing is is that if someone wants to get Faiz, well; he's not on store shelves and it's a bit difficult to find him on the aftermarket -- and the only recent release from the season is, uh, Riotrooper. So SHODO isn't really competition here. The likes of Agito and Blade have much more recent prominent releases that I could see SO-DO not wanting to compete there, but Faiz is pretty much done and dusted for SHODO. Also, 555 according to multiple Japanese polls is extremely popular, and even moreso; there's only 8 actual Rider suits including the two from the movie -- so you can do it all in two waves and appeal to a lot of people! The thing that marks Ryuki off for me is, well, the SO-DO people are passionate enough that I think they'd refuse to do it if they couldn't do Mirror Monsters. And that doesn't seem too feasible for how SO-DO does things. I do still think it'll be Fourze or Drive, though. ZERO competition there and it jibes with what SO-DO tends to do. |
Fourze wave 1-
Base states Modules 1-9 wave 2 Elec states Modules 11-19 wave 3 Fire states Modules 21-29 wave 4 Magnet states 32-39 Cosmic states. Completely unrealistic wave layout. |

Ryuki would defo try mirror monster, and yeah I have no idea how that would work for SO-DO unless that just went balls to the wall and started a seperate line and like released the monsters in 3 packs like the did with sochaku henshin, which would be on a level I can't comprehend. But that's highly unlikely. I'm guessing we get drive or fourze like you said. That does raise the question, do you think they'd release tire changes? I could see em as 3 packs of 2 boxes in each wave. Like wave 1 is Type Speed, Wild, and Technique then 2 boxes of just tires. Wave 2 would be Deadheat, Forumula and Trideron, then 2 more boxes of tires. Then p-bandai would be Mach/Maschin Chaser/Deadheat Mach/Chaser, or something like that. Second set up is same wave 1 then wave two is Maschin Chaser, Deadheat (with 2 heads for mach and drive or one type with two armor types), Mach and then Chase's viral cores as a box and some tires in the 8th box (the signals feel small enough to throw in with the two deadheat armor sets though there are 6 of em due to mach using max flare and rumble dump). Then we could get a third wave of Formula, Chaser, and Trideron, then either more tires or if Lord Baron is a president setter then maybe heart? Then we get all the movie forms as p-bandai stuff. I don't know this is all pretty baseless speculation. a quick google says there were 20 tire changes, and there's plenty of ways to cram em in (or not include them at all). You know what would be really amazing boosting the unique boxes in a SO-DO Chronicle Set to 10 since regular SO-DO is doing 12 per set now. Quote:
My, completely baseless guess is: Wave 1 Base, Elec, and Fire then the first 7 or 8 modules (I imagine magic hand would take a fair bit of plastic) Wave 2 Magnet, Meteor, Meteor Storm, then 8 to 9 modules since numbers 11 through 19 can basically be 1 piece of plastic each. Wave 3 Cosmic, Double rocket, Nadeshko, and some more modules P-Bandai The bikes with the rest of the modules. |

Something I've realised with CHRONICLE is that they always try and make sure you get the Final Form in the retail waves, and recently with Gaim we've also seen them prioritise the major secondary riders. So I think Meteor, Cosmic and perhaps even Meteor Storm in the retail waves is a given; as would Mach, Chaser and Tridoron.

That aside it definitely depends on popularity and how much they have to cover. Gaim obviously has a LOT of suits even going purely by those used in the show, and its merch always sells well so it getting three waves does make sense. Fourze and Drive... I wouldn't call unpopular but I could certainly see them toeing the line enough to get just 2 retail waves. Also, I know this is YU-DO but there doesn't seem to be a dedicated thread and they're just the same thing as SO-DO but for Sentai; so can I just say that as my first toku candy toy figures in a while these two remind me how much I goddamn ADORE these lines and the people who put so much love into making them?? These are extremely cheap candy toys sold at the supermarket for kids to buy with their pocket money and they pack so, SO much detail and articulation in for their price point! There's flaws, sure, but for the money... my god these things are great. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...366/image0.jpg |
I think SHODO is looking to try and do the Mirror Monsters more. In the surveys, they have asked at what price point would you like to see "a large machine, mechanic, monsters, etc."A lot of the Mirror Monsters would fall in the lineup it really comes down to budget and how much people are willing to spend between $30-$80 for one.
