So, I'm looking around at stuff on HLJ, and they've got a listing for SHODO figures. Not being familiar with the term, I looked it up on the Wiki, and it says SHODO is a Showa-focused SO-DO subline. Now, I don't truck with Showa, but there're a few cool Heisei figs in that line, and some of them are still available online.

The thing is, though, what is the difference between SHODO and SO-DO figs, manufacturing-wise? They look to be the same scale, they're not too much more expensive, but I don't think they use stickers. Do they use stickers? The pictures I'm seeing online look fully painted. Is the articulation and scale the same? I don't want to get a SHODO Hibiki fig and then find out it doesn't mesh with my (theoretical) SO-DO figs. Anyone here pick up those SHODO figures? Thoughts on them?
