[Blade Raider]

Ex-Aid has been an odd year. The SO-DO line is huge, easily the biggest candy toy line Kamen Rider has had. The line is 10 normal waves, one "Dai" wave, and a handful of Premium Bandai sets. For comparison, the biggest line before this was Gaim's Arms Action line. It was 6 waves (4 normal, 2 EX) and it still missed stuff that was in Arms Change.

SO-DO is making everything, even the random one off stuff like Legend Riders beyond the year before, JuJu Burger (the best Gashat), Proto Snipe, Hyper plugged into a normal Game Driver, the list goes on. The people running the line even end their blogs every week by mentioning their plans to release everything in this line. If they revealed Lovrica and the other Bugsters next week, I would not be surprised. That's how insane this line has become.

Meanwhile, LVUR kind of just seems to be doing the bare medium and missing a lot. I haven't been keeping a close eye on this line, but is there anything after Hyper/Lvl 99? Cronus? Lazer Turbo? Taddle Legacy? Poppy? Ride Player? Anything? I don't collect these main lines because I'd rather buy the candy toys while the show is on and then maybe some favorites in Figuarts, but usually the main line has most everything including Premium Bandai sets to get some missing or less likely to sell stuff. But not Ex-Aid. This is a very odd year for Kamen Rider action figures.
