We already have all four positions for the Cross Saber, although hilts for Espada and Blades would be goos given we got one for Saber with Dragon Bremen. New heads and belts for various wonder combos would also be nice. I wouldn't mind a sheathed Swordriver or WRB holding hands either.

Ahhh butts, the pre-orders on the SO-DO Chronicle Gridon/Bravo set have already closed (or haven't opened yet). I didn't manage to get a preorder so I'm kind of annoyed.

Edit: Blargh missed a Den-o 1 lot that I could've used in tandem with getting another body to complete the first wave, so I feel rather silly.

We have been getting accessory pack towards the end of the last two lines, so safe to assume there's another one coming

I was surprised there hasn't been one yet; if they didn't say the next reveal was highly requested I'd be expecting it as the last Wave 9 reveal

Maybe it's highly requested accessories?

It's more than likely Dezast. Even if they'd introduce accessories like that, there's no Saber accessory that would be particularly exciting and highly requested

Still opened on Tokullectibles and doesn't seem to have a cut off on PB.

Okay, cool. I went and checked again, and I realized I mistook the way the item was added was added to my cart as the site saying I couldn't do that, since I can't read Japanese, and couldn't find the close date. Gonna get through Zen I think unless y'all want to talk me into using tokullectibles.

Zen will add 300 yen for their fee, a shipping fee to their warehouse , and whatever shipping carrier you choose. So maybe add about 2500-3000 yen to the price

Yeah that evens things out, I think I'll go with Tokullectables.

Oh, there he is.

He's the first entry into Book 10 -- which also means Book 9's last reveal is yet to happen! He got pushed forward to this week's blog for, uh, reasons...

He comes with his sword and looks pretty great all around. Another win for SO-DO imo!

Also what does this image mean? We aren't getting only 1 or the other right?

No they're doing both. I think the above image is just for a special promotion they're running when you order them

Genocider is actually a three pack. You can make the individual Monsters

Buy wave 2 Ryuki SO-DOs THROUGH PREMIUM BANDAI and you get a coupon that gets you either Dark Raider or Venocider it seems.

It's just a discount right? like if not that's ridiculous.

It's just free shipping

That makes substantially more sense.

What is this thing that comes with the knight survive contract beast?

That is Dark Raider bike mode during Knight Survive's final vent. When final vent triggers and Knight Survive rides Dark Raider it engulfs itself in that shape and rams through the monster.

I honestly enjoyed that short tour of the Bandai building. That wall of rider history looked awesome. Dezast himself will be cool to get.

So this is the strangest thing SO-DO's made, yeah?

Nah. The day they make a Ryo the Taiyaki Master SO-DO is when we get to say that. :lolol

I've unironically wanted a Taiyaki Master figure ever since I saw that episode. :lol

And if they dont use clear plastic for the visor no need to worry about likeness rights. :lolol

I guess Solomon and Storious are the big gaps right now, and the trigatlinger. wondering if solomon is the missing piece for box 9 and the rest are wave 10 along with an accessory box. Desast looks like a 1 box fig, so they could easily fit a boxus item box with him.

To lay out what we're missing in total...

- Saber Ghost
- Saber Kaiser
- Blades Specter
- Solomon
- Solomon Storius


Aside from that there's a few others -- there's Vulcan and Valkyrie's V-Cin forms but those will I imagine be in an early Revice wave given that movie's release date; there is as mentioned the Gatriker but I'm not sure if that would happen or not; and there's Kanon Specter - and I REALLY don't know if that one will happen or be saved for some kind of Ghost Chronicle. We haven't really had a situation like this before, where there's a new form for a series not currently covered by SO-DO; so I'm not sure how it'll go down.

Plus quite a few different accessories.

Desast looks like a one-box figure so the accessory set might get paired with him in Book 10.

I just realized that the gaim gaiden packs would make 2 perfect 4 packs since each film had a unique form for the 2 billed riders and 1 villain rider per part.

Also I could see a 4 pack of the apple riders and dark gaim, and then maybe bujin gaim and duke energy and 15? I have no idea if we'll get 15 especially cause he can't be retooled from other figures.

Finally shipped my Shodo Build wave from HLJ last week. They're surprisingly good little figure. Hips are a bit limited, but articulation is still pretty great overall. Sculpt and paint are especially great. I need to try and pick up the additional Build characters in Shodo-O off Mandarake sometime

got a new sodo haul
ride 11 and ride plus 10 retail box
so I have a few extras from that one.
I was hoping one of the extras would be kasshin, but he's the only one that doesn't have an extra, instead there are three diends

Welp I messed up my Duke's cape. Might need to attempt to paint this now. I've got a black gunpla marker I think.

Oh no! But yeah it looks like the cape has molded details so a gundam marker will look great! Better than the sticker!

So I messed up quite a few stickers when doing all genesis riders, guess I might need to break out the gunpla markers. I tested the dark gray on sigurd and it looks pretty good tbh.

Would anyone be interested in a photo tour of my sodo collection?

Sure!

Super Zenkaiser and Super Twokaiser!! The full Wave 2 reveal can't come soon enough...

https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0712173612.jpg

Also, Solomon apparently won't be happening for a while since the SO-DO team were told about him a bit too late, so... so I guess next wave is Ghost Special time? Maybe??

Lots of sick accessories for the last two Wave 9 boxes but I'm tired so I'll let someone else handle em

So yeah, this week is a total fudgeload of accessories

I'll be honest, this is the stuff that makes me love Sodo. I just assumed like "Oh I'll make Saber Dragon Eagle myself but the head and belt won't be perfect but it's cool" but here they are coming in with all these parts for forms we saw literally once haha. Just such dedication!
